German Pipe Passing

The typical pipe of the German is passing out and giving place to the cigar cite in spite of the devotion of the older Germans to their pipes or penny cigars.
 Statistics just published show that the number of cigarettes consumed has in- creased more than tenfold since 1897, when the 1000O0,O00 mark was passed, the fig tres being for 19O7 7,S2OOO9, GOO; for 1908, s, ,69S, 600 900; for 1909 9,5C3 O00,000; for 19l0 Il ,071 0O0,0O0 and for 1911. 12.403, O00,0 0O1. These figures include the stamped hulls used by persons who prefer to make their own cigarettes but who are not allowed to escape the cigarette tax and they show that the consumption has almost doubled in the last five years.
 Assuming twenty million adult male smokers in Germany, this gives an aver age consumption per smoker of 620 ciga- rettes a year The great bulk of these are cigarettes of the cheapest sort. 371. per cent of those sold in 1911 retailing at 1A per cent falling in the next grade 357i per cent falling in the next grade, retailing up to 21a pfennigs apiece. All in all the German smoker, it is estimated burns up 25O,0OO00O marks, $62.50OO0o, in cigarettes annually.

The Paradox Explained

Why is this? The reason is very simple and instructive. The working man does not suffer in the same proportion as the other classes because the working man and the working woman, and even the working woman's children, are great readers of advertisements! Compare the prices of old established advertised com modties today with their prices a few years ago, and instead of an increase in these prices, you will find. on balance, a reduction in the prices. The enormous growth of purchasing power in the indus trial classes and the spread of elementary education, making it less and less of a task for them to read and understand ad- vertisements. have compensated the man. ufacturers of advertised wares for in- creased cost of production and made their aggregate profits larger. If it were not for the large output made possible through advertising, fluid beef like Oxo could not be sold to the million at a popula price: High quality at cheap prices is
 the gift of advertising to the public. One remedy, therefore, for the economic pinch which troubles the housewife and the con sumer generally in our day is to take a leaf out of the working mans book and use the advertising columns of the news paper as shopping guide
 But it would be a mistake to suppose that increased working class demand is
 the only thing which keeps down the price of advertised wares If this increased de-
 mand stood alone. not even the potent force of competition could do that. In deed, we have fresh paradox here, fdt increased demand does not naturally tend to keep prices down: it tends to keer
 them up, The explanation must be sought little deeper down.

Royal Romance Ends in Divorce

Only eight months have elapsed since the Archduchess Isabella of Austria re- bounced her imperial rights to marry Prince George of Bavaria and now the tie that bound them has been severed on the application of the princess father. the Archduke Frederic. Prince George of Bavaria is grandson of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, and is eight years the senior of the archduchess, who is 23, and related to the Emperor more distantly through her father, the Arch duke Frederic.
 The marriage took place at the im- perial palace of Schonbrunn last Feb ruary in the presence of the Emperor. The bride made oath, on her marriage, of reunciation of Imperial and Hungarian royal rights, as the Prince, though the Emperors grandson. is technically a for egner. lncompatibility of temper is said to be the reason of the young couple 8 desire to annul the marriage, which proved unhappy from the first. The bride left her new home at Munich a few days after the wedding and returned to her fathers palace. A reconciliation was effected but trouble over question of fresh quarrel in June, and the bride returned to her parents a second time, and refused to leave them. It has been reported that Prince George is attempt ing to sell his palace at Munich owing to his disappointment and that he has shut himself up in a single room there.

Japan's woman's University

From the apanese-American Commercial
 Weekly.
 President Naruse of the Japan Womens University of ToSio is now in America on his way to Europe He is a pioneer in the field of higher education for girls in Japan.
 In 1875. the year in which the Smith College and Wellesley College were found- ed, Japanese young man of 17 years of age spent a night at a hotel in Kobe It happened that there was party of men in the same hotel spending the night in riotous orgies with sake and geisha girls.
 A verse of scripture, "Who can find a vlrtuous woman?a flashed upon his mind and led him to make the great decision of his life. He said to himself; Such debauchery and immortality must be the result of women's ignorance ineficiency and inability to perform their duties. As long as women connive at such abomina- ble customs how can this nation become great and this people happy?' These thoughts led him to realize the impor- tance of women's education more forci- bly, than ever. He made up his mind to obey what seemed to him a heavenly call and devote himself to the higher education of women.
 That young man was no other than MT. Jinzc Naruse, now president of the Japan Womon's University.

To Dispossess Poles

The exportaton of Polish landowners in the Eastern provinces of Prussia under the law passed four years ago has finally begun, the government making modest start with proceedings to dspossess the Polish owners of four estates. having a total of 5,200 acres, on which Germans will be settled.
 The delay in applying the law has been sharply criticized by the German ultra patriots. whose indignation against the government and the Poles has been fed by the fact that for several years more land has passed from German to Polish hands than conversely in the eastern provinces in spite of the expenditure of millions of government money every year in buying estates there and settling Germans upon them.
 The government, however, hesitated to revive the Polish question in so violent a form as will result from the present step,
 The law limits the government to a total appropriation of about 16300O acres the design being to have only such Polish estates taken as are needed for rounding out German settlements or connecting one settlement with another
 At the same time it is announced that Emperor William has sanctioned the in troduction at the forthcoming session of the Prussan parliament of a new bill dealing with the appropriated lands, pro- viding that all lands so taken shall be divided into small holdings and assigned to German peasants. The measure is de- signed to allay the fears expressed that the appropriated lands would pass in bulk into the hands of the great Prussian landowners instead of to the needy Ger man colonists, in fact, 1t has been de- manded by section of the conservative party that in dividing up Polish estate f,, To, ch ie x.aI for sale to wealthy farmers, who might become political leaders of the newly settled German peasants and stimulate their German race feeling.

Franz Josef Very Fond of Taking Pic tures-Marriage of Princess Isa- bella to Prince George of
 Bavaria Anulled
By EMIL ANDRAssY

Vienna November 2-(Special.) blocks. lolts and bars and convent walls proved altogether powerless to stifle the 1ffec- tions of a Hungarian lady of high de- gree for a young man in a humble sta ton of life. The romance is concealed in the prosaic announcement of the mar riage of Herr Albert Bader, son of an ex-Austrian consul general in Egypt, and Countess Elizabeth Maria Serenyi daugh- ter of the Hungarian minister of agricul- ture. The countess, a young lady of great beauty. fell in love with Herr Bad CT some years ago, but her father frowned upon the match The young peo- pie were faithful, and attempted an elope- ment, but in this scheme they were frus- trated by the watchfu father. The count ess had to enter convent as a conse- quence of that adventure, but love laughed at locksmith once more and she escaped. Her lover awaited her. and post haste they lied 10 Munich, thence to Lon don. There they lived for the necessary period of qualification for an English marriage, and the other day they were married at Kensington registry office, two friends acting as witnesses. Next day the countess telegraphed to her father telling him of her marriage, and the story ended as all romances should, in the bless you my children strain, for the same evening he sent her a wire of for giveness and an invitation to bring her husband home. The happy couple nave left London for Budapest.

 ACETyLENE BEACONS
Heat From Sun Is Utilized by Government at Lone
 ly Lighthouses

From Harper's Weekly
 The sun is the most trustworthy of lighthouse keepers. The sun, or the heat from it, lights many hundreds of beacons along our coasts and waterways evening after evening and extinguishes them punctually every morning. They are guides on land and sea that never are touched by human hands from one months end to another. The way in which the United States government, through it's lighthouse board. has util- fzed the services is most interesting.
 The discovery of acetylene gas was the first step toward retiring the lonely keepers of the little lights in far-off places Modern magis was not slow in recognizing the fact that by the appli- cation of certain well known scientific principles the lightning of the great chains of beacons that girdle the coasts of the two seas and the gulf and cover the Great Lakes and every navigable stream in our huge country could be much simplifed. The United States did not become interested in the acetylene light and it's automatically generating gas buoy until about six years ago and did not adopt it until 1908. Then the engineers of the lighthouse board de- vised some wonderful Improvements, among them the utilization of the sun. In the last three years many nundreuS of the old type of lanters afloat and ashore have been superseded by this new device. About 60 of them have been in- stalled in Alaska this year.
 The self-lghting and self-extinguish- ing acetylene beacon Is a very simple thing, but it depends almost entirely on the "sun valve" which is one of the most wonderful but least complex of the achievements of modern science.
 In the first place, the source of light for these lone beacons Is dissolved acety- lene, which Is stored under pressure in steel cylinders. One of these cylinders can be charged with enough gas to last a small beacon three years. Usually, how ever, in the case of floating buoys, a six months supply Is all that is neces- sary, as such buoys are overhauled and painted twice a year. Knowing the size of the flame and it's hourly consumption or gas, it Is very easy to compute how long a cylinderfu will last and how often 1t will need to be visited, That is all the care the light will need. The sun valve does the rest
 The scientific principle upon which the sun valve depends is that light waves be- come transformed in different degrees ac- cordng to the nature of the intercepting body. Sunlight upon dark surfaces is con-

MANY REASONS FOR
 SIGNING PETITION

From the New York Sun.
 Richard Curd Daniels republican captain in the Thirteenth election district of the Twenty-seventh assembly district, lai1 paper on the desk of County Chairman Koenig and said
 Here. MT. Chairman, is my report as to the signers of the Bull Moose petition in my district
 MT. Koenig glancing at the document, caught this sentence:
 Five signed because they got drink Ten signed because they got a piece of change
 Whereupon the county chairman was moved to read the entire report, which ran about as follows:
 ''The Mills Hotel No. 3, at Thirty-sixss- street and Seventh avenue, is in my dis trict. Of the 211 men who signed the pro gressive party petition in this district 199 live In the Mills hotel. and out of this 199 there were 166 who have not regis ] tered as voters
 Out of the 21f signers the number who have registered as voters is 45 Twenty four of these 45 have enrolled as demo- crats, five as republicans one has en- rolled as socialist and 15 registered, but did not enroll" The rhythm of the figures began to af-
 
 interesting, MT. Daniels" he opened a window and read on;
 "Of the 15 who registered but did not 1 enroll 12 are believed to be democrats, two are republicans and one is an Inde- pendence leaguer
 Among the 166 Mills hotel residents who signed the petition, but did not reg ister as voters, IS have for three years been on the challenge list of the state superintendent of elections, three are known to have been challenged and for another a warrant has been issued for false registration.
 Moreover, of the IS who are on the challenge list IA were formerly enrolled democrats, one a republican and one in successive years enrolled as a democrat, republican and socialist MT. Koenig. glancing about for possi- ble succor, found none and braced him self for the final sentences of the district captains report:
 'I have asked each of the 45 men who signed the progressive petition and didn't forget to register how they came to sign. Fifteen said they did it because they were progressives, two denied having signed, five said they had got drink, three signed for fun, seven did it to help along the chap who was collecting sigma lures, three said they were deceived and 10 got a piece of change. "Of these 45 l believe that IS will vote for the progressive ticket, 20 the demo- cratic. three the republican and four the democratic state and national tickets and the republican local ticket' From your report commented tine county chairman, "I judge that the pro gressives got 211 signatures in your dis trict and are reasonably sure of IS votes. I thank you for your zeal''
 Any time you want an affidavit GOV ering my report I'll swear to it. volun- teered the departing district captain.

The Duchess of Sparta, who is one of the most enthusiastic royal photo graphers, gave the Emperor handsome ly ornamented box camera fitted with an exceedingly powerful lense as a birth day gift. The Emperor tried it while entertaining some friends in the palace garden and was so delighted with the results that he now spends most of his time taking pictures of his intimates. scenes in and around the imperial demesne, and experimenting in processes of film-development and toning of prints. Some of the venerable rulers pictures would really past with the approval of professional photographers.

PRISON POEMS
The Songs of the Siberian Exiles Are
 Now Published

From the London Observer.
 It seems a queer subject for an anthol- ogy; but the songs of the Siberian exiles have nevertheless been collected by a student to whom the late M. Stolypin ac- corded facilities for his task. He had a good deal of trouble in overcoming the shyness of the prisoners but he did over come it. Sad songs savage songs, songs of melancholy resignation-he took them all down from the lips of the singers, and now he has published some of them in the Revue" One may attempt a rem dering of one in which the exile laments his lot but discovers a consolation: Alas, my fatei Alackaday My fate that took me far away, My sorry fate that bade me go To sad Siberia ice and snow. Siberian steppes-my lot lies there; Narrow my cell, and cold and bare: But through it's bars friend l see; Greeting. my friend. I am with thee
 And here Is another in which different lamentations are curiousy blended: the lamentatlon of the exile deprived of lib- erty, and the lamentation of the wife who has given her heart without her hand--both lamentations hung on to a re- frain which has nothing to do with either of them:
 white flock of geese in a maidens care. On meadow where geese may roam: Her eyes jet black and her face most fair, And she calls to her geese, Come
