sATIRIsT FOR OUR SINS.

MT. Robert Herrick has said 6 true word in declaring Americas need of great satirical novelist. That is a golden gift to any age or any nation, but never, it must seem to us, would such a gift be more timely than at this stage of the democratic experiment in America.
 Its special value to us would He in its access to our national sense of humor. That sense is now chiefly mere joke, irresponsible, unpropor- tionate, inconclusive and superficial. But to a great satirical humorist it would open wide to the light. The trouble with much of our self-fagel- lation is that it lacks true propor- ton, which is the strong merit of satire. It is not merely serious. It is glum. -S has not the tonic sting of high comedy. Against 1t not only our sensual complacency reacts. but also our common sense.

PERILs OF MODERN LIFE
Aviator Cites Case of JorkIns to Show Walker Is In as Great
 Danger as Flyer.

Miss Harriet Quimby, after one of her daring aeroplane flights at Min cola, L. l., smiled lightly at re- porter's mention of the danger of flying.
 "Oh, there's danger everywhere" she said. ''The walker is in as much danger almost as the fier. Did you never hear about the fate of Jor- kins ?"
 "Jorkins, poor fellow, came from the country to New York. The noise and confusion of New York quite upset hhim. Threading his way across the busy street, he thought he would go mad.
 "'Clank! Clankp
 "Jorkins leaped to the right just in time to escape q motor car.
 "Ding-a-lingl Ding-dong.'
 "He darted to the left from under the very wheels of an automobile fire engine.
 "Hum-m-mp
 "Jorkins, looking up in the air, now saw q monoplane, it's tail smashed, falling straight upon him. He glared wildly round, caught sight of manhole, lifted the cover and jumped down into black hole just in time to be cut in half by an un- derground electric train."

A SHINING METAL.

There is legend among the peas ants of Cornwall in England that at night there may be observed faint ly-shining mineral among the rocks brought from the mines. That this is not pure fancy has been proved by Professor Strut. A specimen of the mineral autunite, which is also found in Wales, was sent to him from Portugal because of its lumin- osity. He finds that it closely re- sembles artificially prepared salts of uranium, and that its luminosity is due to spontaneous radio-activity. The light it sheds is stronger than that of nitrate of uranium. Upon parting with its water of crystaliza- tion the mineral loses it's luminous property.-Scientifc American.

eTRADlvARI.

Antonio Stradivari, the Italian vi- olin maker, was born in 1649 and died in 1737. He was the pupil of Niooli Amati, in whose employment he remained until about 1879, when he began making violins on bis own account. He settled the typical pattern of the Cremona violin, and his instruments, for tone and finish, have never yet been excslled. His improvements consisted chiefly in lowering the height of the arch of the belly, in making the four corner blocks more massive, in giving great CT curvature to the middle ribs, in altering the setting of the sound holes and in making the scroll more massive and prominent. He reached his greatest perfection in his art about 1714. He also made many other kinds of musical instruments, but it is on his violins of all kinds that his fame rests.
 There are many so-called Stradi- vari violins in existence, but few, if any of them. are genuine.

NATIONAL AIR FOR CHINA.

The last expiring act of the board of rites was to recommend change in official music, which the emperor approved by decree of July 15. It appears that the Marquis Tseng evolved national air when in Lon- don as minister thirty years ago, but it has never been officially notified to the army and navy. The western na- tions, and even Japan, all know each others airs, which they strike up at banquets and solemn occasions; the make-shift air now semi-oificially used by China is far from being suited to her dignity. It is not pro- posed to abandon entirely the old Chinese principles of music, but the envoys abroad have been directed to send all foreign national airs to the musical department of the board of rites, when competent trained ears will judge how best to combine Chi nese notions with foreign and evolve something really good.
