THE NOBEL PRIZES.

A writer in the World Work for
February, taking note Of the awards
Of the Nobel prizes, calls attention to
the paucity Of awards to the United
States. He states his argument in the
following words:
The Nobel roll OF honor. affords
unique opportunity to see which nations
are. doing the most for civilization as
indicated by the siXty-five individuals
who since 1901 have received this award.
times and stands at the head In all five
departments except peace. France stands
second with ten Nobel prizemen. followed
by England With seven and Holland with
land and Sweden with four EACH and
Denmark. Spain, Belgium, Austria and
the United States with two each: and
II is humilGating 10 American pride TO
be put in the lowest rank with countries
as small as Denmark or as backward as
not question. The trouble goes farther
back than that. We have not achieved,
and We have not deseryed.
But, why haven't we?
We do not see that there need be any
particular mystery made in this matter.
There is in Europe a general idea that
the United States is crude beginner
in all matters of literature, culture and
science; and without imputing any
necessarily conscious partiality On the
part of those who make those rewards,
it is nothing more than fair to say that
they begin the consideration of these
awards with a settled conviction that
Europeans are naturally entitled to
them, aud that Americans or inhabi.
tants OF any other part Of the world,
must show afirmstively very strong
and overwhelming case TO get any con-
sideratiou. Viewed in this light, which
we believe to be the true one. IL can
fairly be argued that Americans who
get Nobel prize deserve that prize far
more than Europeans who get similar
awards.
With regard to the question which
the Worlds Work writer propoupds,
having conceded that We have not
achieved. and where he asks "why
haven't we,' the answer IS that we
have achieved. We have doue more
for civilization, for liberty, for man
hood. for the advancement Of philap-
thropy. humanity, and civilization in
the last hundred years than all OF the
rest of the world besides. Humanity a
hundred years ago was jebased, was
under the iron heel of despotism, and
the rights OF men were nowhere recog-
lied save only IN the comparatively
feeble light which the then new Amer
lean Republic was able TO shed. Now,
the rights of men are recognized, are
dominant, throughout the world, and
whereas formerly the rights of kings
were supreme. it is now the truth that
the rights Of kings are restricted IN
most civilized governments, and are
everywhere challenged, especially where
they come in contact with the rights of
man.
Again, the standard of living
throughout the world has been ad-
vaneed by the American example. Ev-

 ON GREAT PYRAMID

 Auspices

The lecture to be presented next Tues day night at the Masonic temple under the auspices of King Solomon Lodge No. 460, A. E. and A. M gives promise oi much interest and instruction to the members of the Masonic fraternity.
 It is entitled, "The Great Pyramid 0. Egypt aud will be freely Illustrated with stereopticon views showing the great py- ramid and it's construction
 This pyramid is known as one of the wonders of the world and long has been the subject of much speculation in re- spect to it's construction and purpose. Many students hold that Egypt is the cradle of Masonry, and this lecture sug- gests the probable connection of this won, derful structure with the Mystic Art.
 The vast dimensions of this stupendous york and it's several tunnels or passages gre clearly shown by stereopticon views.
 w. F. Aldrch, who is to present this lecture, IS well known here as student and man of scholarly attainments. He spent many months in investigation and study of his subject.

T|DEWATER LINE
 COMING RAPIDLY
Fifth Avenue Work to Begin
 Within 30 Days
CONSTRUCTION IS FINE
President Dewberry Believes Opera tion of Cars Can Begin on May 1, the Date Origin
 ally Set

A contract was signed yesterday per- hitting the Tidewater electric car line to cross the tracks of the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic railroad at Smiths s park. and subsequently, J. M, Dewberry of the Tidewater company said that he believed that the invasion of upper Fifth avenue with crews placing the rails would be a matter of less time than 30 days.
 He added that the franchise of the city required that all construction along Fifth avenue be done only under the direction of the city engineer, and that this condi- ton would be carried out to the letter by the Tfdewater company. He said the en- tire street would not be broken up and torn, but that the tracks would be sunken even with the pavement now on the ave- nue and constructed in all details with the utmost care for property rights along that paved avenue and the general traf- fic situation
 President Dewberry said that the work was being prosecuted from the two ter minal points-East Lake and Ensley-and that operations were to begin no later than May 1, as previously agreed upon.
 tNdliTOdQ GApeIlS Ol lllS hiSAlAAl etNS recently inspected the construction of the Tidewater below Ensley leading to Corey, and at other points along the line. After careful scrutiny of the whole work it was the general impression that no stand ard gauge railroad in the district or any street car line in the entire south pos sessed such an excellently constructed track as the Tidewater.
 The construction from Ensley toward Bessemer is said to be especially fine, al though no criticism was given against any other point of the railroad.
 The operation of cars along the Tide water by May 1 will completely change the local railway situation, it Is believed. It is known that a street car fare of cents will be charged from East Lake to Ensley, and that side lines will radate from the main artery. It Is generally un- derstood that with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company furnishing the Tidewater power operations can begin much earlier than was at first expected. The Tennessee cofnpany will allow the company to use 2000 K. w. II. for a period of two years. The contract is a short one, but It is said the Tidewater will after a few months operation begin the construction of power plant fully ade- quate to meet all current and electric H. lumination needs for that company
 MT. Dewberry was yesterday very opti- mistic over the outlook for the success of the Tidewater,. and believes. that it will prove a great step of progress for the Birmingham district. In connection with the local line it is said MT. Dewberry has been fmportuned to electrify his car line from Tuscaloosa to Holt, which will be done. Eventually that line Is expected 10 be valuable unit in the Gadsden 10 Tuscaloosa ihterurban railroad
 As to this, however, President Dew berry has made no recent statement.
