Pensions In other Countries.
Insurance against sickness was inaug-
urated in Germany in 1884 and has since
been enlarged in many directions. The
workman, the employer and the COM
munity contribute to the fund. A second
insurance fund is provided against acci-
dent. Practically all German working
men are insured against old age. The
cid age funds are supplied by the em-
ployers and the employees in equal shares
and the empire adds Sl2.50 to each pen
sion. Practically all laborers Of France,
as we'll as state employees, benefit from
the workmen's pension bill that became
law in 1910 In Australia about $780, :
900 is expended annually In old age PEN
slons to men OF 66 and over and women
OF 60. New Zealand in 1909 paid pensions
to 1886 persons over 05 years old. Spain
lnaugurated a national insurance system
for old age in 1909. In zoos Denmark paid
to old age pensioners $2,446OOO. To a
limited extent old age pensions prevail
in Italy, and in Austria provision Is made
for workers in mines only.

BrItain,s Latest Insurance.

Both houses OF the British Parliament
have passed the Lloyd-George bill pro-
viding for insurance against sickness and
unemployment The scheme embraces all
classes Of workers, even down to domestic
servants, and it the most comprehensive
plan of compulsory thrift undertaken by
any nation. Similar insurance is in vogue
in Germany, but It limited the workers
in factories and mines and a few other
industries. In both Instances the workers
contribute to the insurance fund. The
British measure, now a law. requires that
a man shall pay cents, the employer 6
cents and the state cents. In return the
insured receives free medical attendance
by doctor of his own selection from a
panel of doctors, and free medicines:
sick-pay at the rate of $3.50 a week the
first three months, si.25 for the next three
months and for life in case of permanent
invalidism. For women the payments and
benefits are lower and include maternity
benefits. II Is estimated that 100000 men
and 3, 800, 900 women come within the COM
pulsory class, and that OF the total an
nual fund of Sis. 900 900, the state will con-
tribute over $27,OOO,0OO In certain highly
skilled trades like that of ship building
beginning is also made in insurance
against unemploymente, except in case of
strikes, on further payments by the three
parties. National sanitariums are also to
be established for the treatment Of tuber-
culosis.

India's New Capital.
The crownlng OF King George as en-
peror OF India at Delhi was an event Of
SURPRISING magnificence. Correspondents
on the spot overwork the stock Of super
latives in striving to convey to the out
side world a moving picture of royalty Of
the east and the west In conjunction. In
many respects it was an unprecedented
affair. 1t was the first time the British
ruler visited and received the homage Of
the native princes OF India. 1t was the
first time the emperor OF India appeared
In person at the ancient capital Of the
Mogul rulers and proclaimed his king
ship. A setting Of dazzling splendors on
a munificent scale made former durbars
by proxy appear as a side show to this
royal performance. The location chosen
for the crowning scene and the presence
OF the emperor and empress, in them
selves constitute a shrewd and wise stroke
Of policy. But the surprising stroke Of
all was the imperial decree transferring
the capital of India from Calcutta to
Delhi. Many reasons are assigned for
this change. 1t is supposed that the ac-
tivity Of the Bengalese is dscrediting
British rule and rulers, inspired the
change. Most OF the discomfort existing
in Indian is confined to Bengal. The Ben
galese have been favored at the govern
ment pie counter. honored with the capt.
tai and its emoluments Yet they were
not happy. An indefinite leave OF alb
sence from the good things dispensed by
philanthropic government, 1t is sug-
gested, may bring about the kicking Ben
galese to a realization OF their folly. For
over a century. in fact. even since Lake
captured Delhi in 1903. the English have
had strong desire to locate their capital
there. Calcutta is malariAl; Delhi salu-
brious. Calcutta is ugly; Delhi beautiful.
Calcutta is on the rim OF India; Delhi in
the center. Calcutta's history is a back
ground OF fever swept marshes, tigers and
crocodiles; Delhis history Is back
ground of thrones which run from Maha
rata to Moslem, from Moslem to Mogul.

Cost of the Cardinalate.
The expenses incurred by each Of the
newly made cardinals are very consider

singers in the Sistine chapel choir up to
much larger sums for higher officials.
The cardinals ring is supplied by the
propaganda for fl20 the price fixed by
Plus VII, and the robes and hats come
to about as much again. The clergy of
the cardinals titular church in Rome ex-
pect a donation OF at least GOO. Then

 How Gas Plants Will Run the Rail-
 roads
 The future of the gas engine, or rather of the internal combustion en- zine, as the officials of the bureau of mines prefer to call it. is beyond con- ception. Prof. Gernaid the engineer in charge of the gas producer tests, says that it will cut down our coal bills somewhere between $100,000,0 900 and $2OO 00O, 900 a year. He says that some day there will be great central gas plants situated at the coal fields throughout the country, which will generate power to run our railroads and factories. Each of these will be connected with an electric system which can distribute the power over radius of 250 miles, each center coy- ering a possible area five times that of Ohio or Kentucky, or as much as either Germany or France.
 With 10 or 12 such plants located at the various mine centers, the great railroad systems could send their trains from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Hudson bay to the Gulf of Mexico. Then the cars will move by electricity, the smoke nuisance will be obliterated, and one will be able to cross the continent without a cinder in his eye. This work of electrifying the roads has already be- gun. The New York Central has sub stituted electric power on its lines for some distance out of New York, and it

as 10.000 tons of high grade coal on a round trip. With a gas engine this could be gut to 5000, with saving of hun- dreds of dollars a day.
 The Passing of the Smoke
 The gas producer experiments show, so am told at the bureau of mines, that smoke can be practically obliterated from our large manufacturing cities As it is now the most of the smoke comes from the railroad and factories. It is csti- mated that 600 tons of soot day are dropped into Chicago by the locomotives and that 40 per cent of all the smoke of that city comes from the railroads. With gas producing plants the immense switcn yards there could be operated by elec- tricty and the same force could be sup piled to the factories. The saving to the buildings would be enormous Chicago is said to be damaged to the extent of $50,000,000 year by its smoke, and cleve- land loses $40o0,OOO from the same source. It is estimated that the total losses entailed by coal smoke upon the merchandise buildings and vegetable fife .n the United States every year foots Up more than $500, 900. and the doctors say that this coal smoke causes d great loss of life. According to Uncle Sam S latest figures, 150000 of his men, wosn m and children annually die of consumption; it is said that with the absence of smoke and the use of proper hygienc conditonI three fourths of such deaths could be prevented.

 Father John" he said, "you need churches in your business. We don't. What we need is money. Now. if we went to the extent of foreclosing this mortgage there would be a raft of expenses at- tackled to the aprocess. There would be lawyers fees, &urt charges, and a multi tude of other outlays that would mount up into tens of thousands of dollars. And then--all we would have would be a church! Now, I will tell you what 1 would like to do. This mortgage is year or more overdue. Suppose I make a present to you of the interest? Instead of hiring a lawyer and putting money in his pocket, suppose I give that money also to you for your church? Instead of incurring all these court expenses, suppose I give that money also to you for your church? Now, with the interest, the lawyers fees and the court fees, the whole thing amounts to about $500 Tell me you will pay this mortgage within a reasonable time and the $50,0O0 is yours for your church."
 Father John looked at young MT. Me Gill. Father John was thinking that $50, oGO would offset that outrageous bonus the young priest had been forced to pay He was thinking, too, of another man who had tried to get him to pay that mortgage. The other man had him in the directors room of the Carnegie Trust company had had tried different tactics The other man bulllyragged and he threat ened, argued and pleaded. It made no difference to him that to Father John that mortgage was unfair. It was le- gal paper and he wanted what 1t called for.
 When he threatened foreclosure Father John told him mildly but firm ly to proceed. Father John pointed out the bank would get a fine church as a result-that 1t might keep 1t a year and then Father John probably would buy it at a bargain price.

1 can handle deal like this. Just think moment Isn't there some way you can get the money?'
 Father John thought. Then he smiled.
 My son." said he, you told me yesterday it was business for you to pay to the church what you took off the mortgage. You want me now to do something else that is very diff cult What do you propose-as mat ter of business?"
 Five thousand dollars" replied Me Gill, coming right to the point. | Come back to me late this after noon," said the father.
 When young MT McGill returned Father John was mildly excited.
 'I have been the busiest man 1T Buffalo today" he said. since you lef me this morning I cabled to the head of our order In Poland and I cabled to the vatican.

He was not skeptical a few days later, when $7000O came from Father John. Nor when s170, 900 came shortly after 1t. Father John had made good. So had young MT. McGill.
 It was perhaps a month after the re- l ceipt of the money that the ponderous | and pompous lawyer who had handled

 The lawyer leaned toward young Mc- Gill and gave his promise not only as man, but as a lawyer.

is testing electric locomotives between Rochester and Buffalo. The Pennsyl- vania Is operating electric trains between Atlantic City and Philadelphia, and the New York, New Haven and Hartford is running it's trains from New York to Stamford by electric power. The great steel plant at Gary, Ind, has gas engines which are developing over 100000 horse power. They are operated by the gases which would ordinarily go to waste. They come from the furnaces, and the fue costs nothing. It will be so with every large plant of the future.
 Gas for Our Navy
 They are putting gas engines on the great ships of the world, and they will be eventually used by the navies of the future. Professor Fernald says that the United States will probably distance ;he other nations in this regard. He advises that our gunboats be run by gas instead of steam, saying that the gas will make no smoke, and that it can be made in the producer, which has no chimney and needs none. He says the coming wal vessel will be swift, smokeless, noise less craft, lying low in the water, the entire deck being given over to the worl; of the guns. At night there will be noth- ing to show the presence of the ship to the enemy.
 Gas engines are now being used on some of the big ocean liners, and 1t is said that the steamships of the Great Lakes are about to adopt them. One Of the big freighters there has plans for U 2OO0 horsepower gas engine of the oa- rine type, the idea being that it's use will save great deal of coal, As to the ocean liners some of them consume as mucs
