sionary addresses upon Asiatic Teli-

the claims Of u own country. Elk

DR.. James A. Francis, of Boston,
and DR.. Charles L. Thompson, of
New Yrok, headed the list of speak
ers. The American Indians, Porto
Rico, and the Mountaineers were
among the problems discussed.

concerns which are charged with max.
ing Illegal trade agreements abroad
and carrying out their effect in the
United States, viii, it is said, be pros.
eouted by the department Of justice,

The Wilson law provides that any
persons or corporations that import
commodities to the United States and
combine to restrain trade or fix prices.
although the trade agreements are
made outside of this country, may be
fined or imprisoned, and the imports
may be confscated by the govern

The antitrust sections of the Wilson

were not repealed by the Payne-Ald-

INVENTION OF BOYS.
Youngsters Have Solved Many Impor-
tant and Difficult Problems.

Certain most important inventions
have been the work of boys. The in
ventfon OF the valve motion in the
steam engine. for instance. was made
by mere lad. Newcomers engine was
in a very incomplete state. owing to
the fact that there was no way to open
or close the valves except by means OF
levers operated by hand He set up
3 large engine at a mine, and q boy.
Humphrey Potter, was hired 70 work
these valve levers. Although this was
not hard work, it called for constant
attention
As the Potter lad was working the
levers he saw that parts of the engine
moved in the right direction, and at
the same time he had to open or close
the valves. He procured a strong cord.
and made one end fast OF the proper
part of the engine and the other end
to the valve lever. The boy had then
the satisfaction of seeing the engine
move with perfect regularity of mo
ton A short time after the foreman
came around and saw the boy playing
marbles at the door. Looking at the
engine he at once perceived the in
genuity of the boy, as well as the ad-
vantage OF so clever an invention The
idea suggested by the boys inventive
genius was put into practical form
and made the steam engine an auto
matte working machine.
The power loom was the invention
Of farmers boy, who never had seen
or heard Of such a thing. He whitfield
one out with his jackknife, and after
he had finished If, he exhibited his de-
vice TO his father, who at once kicked
It into ufeces, saying he would not
have about him boy who would spend
his time in such foolish ways Ac-
cordingly. the boy was sent TO a black
smith a learn the trade His master
took . lively interest in the lad He
made a loom OF what was left of the
one his father had broken. and showed I
It to the blacksmith The latter saw
he had no common boy as apprentice, /
and that the invention was a valuable /
one A loom was constructed under I
the supervision of the boy It worked (
TO perfection, and the blacksmith fur I
nished the means to manufacture the I
looms. the boy receiving half the 1
profits
IN about year the blacksmith 4
wrote to the boys father that he would 4
bring with him on a visit a wealthy 4
gentleman. who was the inventor Of 4
the celebrated power loom One may. 4
therefore. conceive Of the establishment h
of the father when his own son was 1
presented to him as the inventor Of a I
Dom based upon the principle OF that
which the old man had kicked TO 4
pieces only a year before.-New York

Nagel the Energetic.

No man in President Taft's cabinet
puts in longer hours than Secretary
NageI. of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, and few of them equal him
in that respect Mr.. Nagel reaches his
Office at about S.45 o'clock every
morning He goes to work with the
clerks, in fact, he is often ahead Of
them When he does not walk down
town he travels by trolley car.
At that hour Of the morning the cars
are crowded with government en-
pIoyes, and the tall. thin figure of the
secretary may often be seen standing
on the step OF the rear platform Some
cabinet officers 60 to business IN auto
mobiles or behind high-stepping horses
but Mr.. NaSeI either foots 1t or pays
his nickel on q trolley car He rarely
leaves his Office before ; o'clock in the
afternoon
Secretary NageI does not take many
vacations and sticks closely to his
work While he appears 10 be rather
fraI in physique. he has a great ca
pacIty for sustained labor. The human
side Of things appeals to him, and
more than once the secretary has given
hours and even days OF his time TO the
care of some humble immigrant who
has made 2 strong appeal to him
The various bureaus which we're
gathered together and grouped in the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
are OF such a diverse character that II
requires an alert secretary to keep
track Of them Among other things
upon which he has to keep an eye are
corporations, manufactures, labor,
lighthouses, the census. the coast and
ge06etic survey. steamb inspection,
fisheries, navigation, immigration and
