The Literary Market.
,m the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Phtiadetphta Ledger
A publisher of experience who address,
ed the booksellers convention in New
York drew attention TO the failure on the
part of some OF his confreres to give due
Significance to the juvenile population OF
possible book readers-the 2o.O0O.O0O chill
dent between the ages of five and eight
cen years enumerated in the census of
1910. He deprecated the tendency, in
some books written for children, to make
butt of the teacher. a gullible fool or
an amiable imbecile OF the parent, and
he found too often that predatory mis-
chief was encouraged. the smart Aleck''
was praised learning was below par and
license at premium. Furthermore, the
English style of the author. In Its care
less lack Of attention to anything but a
sequence Of thrills, set the worst example.
The speaker pointed out that what the
children read largely determines the
literary taste of years to come; that the
boy forms the reading habit for the man.
In this view it is of the utmost impor-
tance whether literature Of the penny
dreadful order or book worth while
makes its appeal to the juvenile intelli-
gence.
The attempt has been made from time
to time to induce college graduates to
serve on the police force: it was urged on
this occasion that college graduates
book stores. or. at least persons who
have an intelligent knowledge Of books
and a personal enthusiasm for the pleas
ant task Of disposing of them The mis-
sion of such bookseller is closely simi-
lar to that of a public library, and his
service to the public that is willing to be
directed to the best in any form of art,
and often chooses what Is inferior merely
because it Is more easy to obtain.

WHY FOAM IS WHITE.
The Little Bubbles Reflect All the
Light.

From Harper's Weekly.
the foam along the shore of the sea or
of lake is white. No matter how deep
the blue of the water may be there is
the same whiteness OF the froth at its
edge If the blacklist ink In the world
is beaten into foam the foam will be as
white as the froth of milk.
The reason for this is that we see all
objects by reflected light If they reflect
all the rays, they appear white: II they
absorb all the rays. they seem to be black.
When beaten into q frOth the little bub-
bes reflect all the light from their sur;
faces for their extreme thinness makes
them practically nothing but surface and
thus they are white.
For the same reason any colored stone
shows white when 1t is ground to a pow
der. Take the blacklist marble and re-
duce it to small grains and these will
appear white, because their surfaces now
all reflect the same light. II the polished
surface of the same marble be only q
little scratched, as with q nail or drill
point the effect will be a light-colored
streak.
The same point is illustrated in the
appearance of the tiny particles of dew
on 'the spiders web as compared with
the larger drops suspended from the tips
is the difference when the cold has con-
verted dew and water into frost and ice.
The frost sparkles from the innumerable
faces of the crystals, while the ice shows
q uniformly shining surface. Frost and
snow are white because Of the smallness
Of their particles and the great number
of their rejecting surfaces.

A Noiseproof Room.
From Harper's Weekly.

The Dutch town Of Utrecht is said to
possess the only absolutely noiseproof
room in the world. For q really noise
proof room it is essential. according
to the theory OF the constructor Of this
one. Prof. Zwaardemaker, that not only
shall no sound penetrate 1t from with
out. but also that 1t shall resist sound
propagation. reflection and refraction
within. The solution Of the first prob
lem Is. it is said, comparatively easy.
The walls Of the Dutch scientist 8
room consist OF six layers alternately
Of wood. cork and sand There are
spaces between the second and third
layers and between the fourth and
fifth wherefrom the air has been taken.
The inner walls are OF porous stone
covered with kind OF horsehair cloth,
Belgian invention that is sound re-
sisting, and widely used in Belgium in
telephone booths. The walls are pierre
ed by acoustically isolated leaden rods
The roof Is composed OF layers OF
lead, wood, asphalt paper, sea grass
and cork. The floor Is Of marble. and
is covered with a thickly woven
Smyrna carpet.
The silence Of the tomb always
reigns in this elaborate construction,

STANLEY DENIES REPORT
| DISSOLUTION IS FEATURE
Committee Will Not Urge Such
Action Regarding U. S. Steel
Corporation, He Says.

Chairman Stanley Of the House steel
trust investigating committee today
authorized a denial of reports that the
committee would recommend the disso-
luton of the United States Steel Cor
poration. Mr.. Stanley declared he be-
lieved that reports given out to that
effect had been calculated to affect the
New York stock market.
Stirred by recent publications of what
purported to be substantial portions OF
the committees report or its recommen-
dations, Chairman Stanley declared he
would no longer be silent and would from
time to time give to the public the con-
clusions Of his colleagues on the commit
tee.
Mr.. Stanley is said to feel that leak
age from the sessions of the steel com
mittee has aided the efforts of certain
persons who hoped to gain by circula-
tion of the report that the committee
would recommend the dissolution OF
the steel corporation. The committee,
he says, agreed THAT no recommends
tion for dissolution would be included
in the report when the government
suit against the steel corporation was
filed.

Lure Of Arctic Gold.

From the New York Herald.
OF peculiar interest is the announce

take an expedition into Bafin Land to
prospect for gold.
This is no new idea. for old Sir Martin
F'robisher. way back in 1915. was SO i'm

metal from the cold. rockbound land that
he led a small colony of one hundred men
to the same locality. He constructed g
stone house, hewed out of the rock a sort
OF crude ships dock and went diligently
to work. Trouble with the Eskimos
forced him to abandon his work, and all
he took back to El gland was a large
quantity of fools goid.''
This hardly can be taken to mean that
his theory was wrong, for in other parts
of the arctic great quantities OF the pro-
ductive ore have been taken out Fro

SUGGEST GOV. WILSON
SPEAK WITH OPPONENTS
Several Want Him on Platform
With Those Who Opposed
Him at Baltimore.

SEAGIRT. n. j., July 20.-A novel
method OF campaigning has been proposed
for Gov. Wilson's consideration by sew
eral members Of the national committee.
The members would have the governor
speak once from the same platform with
each Of his opponents for the nomination
at Baltimore. and in their home states
Their proposal Is that he speak at st.
Louis with Champ Clark. at Cincinnati
or Columbus with Gov. Harmon. at Bos-
ton with Gov. Foss. at Hartford or New
Haven with Gov. Baldwin, at Indianapolis
Mayor Gaynor and at Birmingham with
Representative Underwood.
Instead of travelling to North Dakota
to speak there with Gov. Burke. the pro-
posal is that Gov. Wilson and the North
Dakota executive speak from the same
platform at st. Paul
Gov. Wilson has reached no decision as
to what speeches he will make or what
trips he Will undertake during the cam
paign. Most of his advisers believe that
he should make but faw speeches, and
that he should not begin his speaking
campaign until some time in September.
The governor has set aside this afternoon
Congress, who are expected at Seagirt
shortly after ! o'clock.

Where Are the Birds /?
he New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
Bird-lovers in northern Europe have
been greatly exercised over the lessening
number Of swallows that each spring
brings from the south. Full testimony
on the point has been brought forward
in the columns Of the Spectator, and the
phenomenon has been observed In France,
as well. Explanations are forthc,o ing
in plenty. One is that the cold winds of
April must have destroyed large num-
bers Of the birds during the passage Of
the Alps. and that others were blown out
to sea. The Spectator itself believes that
the scarcity Of bees has something to do
with the dearth Of swallows. Then. again.
there is the indiscsiminate slaughter OF
swallows that is carried on in Italy for
food and millinery. A philosophical
Frenchman. however. has adduced the
theory that the causes which formerly
compelled the birds to leave their win
ter homes In North Africa are fast dis
appearing. The occupation of north
Africa by the white man has been fol-
lowed by the reclamation of large tracts
Of desert land. and the birds are no longer
compelled to go north for the compan-
ionship OF human beings. or the susie
nance Of grain fields and farmyard.
