AN AUTHOR AT WORK.
Preliminary StudyinsU Up of Material
Has to Be Thorough.

Eat present | am studying the
question of Japanese forgeries. which
are common in crystals and jades, for
the plot of my next novel hinges on
one of these, and in any such sub
ject if a man does not wish to be
caught in msstatement he must be
sure that he has authority fer every
thing he says He may use only a
mere fragment of his knowledge ON
the subject, but If he wishes to avoid
being found out in mistakes he must
learn as much as possible of the mat
ter; for to be certain he is correct in
the way he has applied his informa-
ton he cannot know too much.
Il have for years been interested in
Chinese and Japanese antiques.
F'orgeries are common in Chinese
porcelains of 1900 for. although 100
porcelains are exquisite, fully as
beautiful as the earlier ones, it was
the fashion in 100 for people in
China to want porcelains of 1900 or
1850, so the makers in 1900 forged the
names of the reignng dynasties in
the earlier period. The result is that
an, expert never goes by the name Of
the emperor written on piece of 1900
porcelain.
'In Japanese ware today limitations
are frequent. Just recently a friend
of mine showed me a rose quartz jar.
a lovely thing. which | admired
greatly, and asked me: DO you think
IL is genuine?' ! examined it as to
resistance, cleavage and all the other

The pastor said, in part; Sixty

Editorial Comment
Conditions in Lewiston.


Within the past few days the city
of Lewiston has been experiencing u
reign of terror almost unparalleled IN
the history of this State. So closely
following each other, that scarcely a
day interviewed between them. there
have been first a cold blooded murder
for money, II murderous assault, and n
holdup. the victims of the two latter,
being defe1seless women.
such a wave of crimnality cannot
be spontaneous 1t did not Just hap
pen" Like all other results 1t must
have "a cause and in the ease of Lew
iston the cause is not hard to find. For
the past sixteen mouths, since Morey
the Democratic speaker of the House
of Representatives, has been mayor. 4
disgusting lawlessness has not only
been tolerated in Lewiston, but 1t has
been actually encouraged. This IS the
result, a result as natural and as nnch
TO be expected as the growth of grain
from the sown seed.
All this is useful as a warning to the
rest of the State concerning the quality
of Democratic leadership and the dam
gerous tendency of their attitude to-
ward the law but besides the terroriz-
ing of her citizens, and the expense OF
Investigations, Lewiston is getting
some mighty undesirable advertising,
Advertising of the kind that keeps de-
cent people away, and alarms capital.
we wonder If she will remember this
the next time she elects Il mayor?

But however long they lived, how did
ii happen that none of these bodies
We're seen by any of the big ships
which reached the place of the disaster
soon after the Titanic sank? With lite
preservers on which prevented the
lungs filling with water the bodies
picked UP by the Nina and doubtless
many of those picked up by the

Yet the Carpathia reported that she

or dead. The captain of the Mount
Temple testified that ne reached the
scene of the wrcckage soon after the
Carpatlia and saw no one in the water,
either alive or dead. The captain of the
California testified that he reched the
place of sinking at $50 o'clock in the
one half hour searching and saw no
bodies.
Some OF those who died AS those
picked up by the Nina died might
have been saved by the partly filled
life boats. Some of them may even
have been alive when the big vessels
came to the rescue. Their fate adds
poignancy to the tragedy Why no one

Are We Soon to See by Wire?

Laugh. if you will at the apparent
folly of seeing by wire. but in the
midst of your mirth please do not
forget that our grandfathers laughed
just as heartily when there was
rumor of talking over wires. And
if anyone had minated that future
generations would even talk without
the aid of wires, over thousands of
miles of ocean. granddad would have
passed away with a stroke of apo
plexy superinduced by congested
laughter.
When IL is remembered that the
voice can be reproduced by mechani-
cal means. inasmuch as it is but a
series Of vibrations in the air; that
vision is but another kind of vibra-
ton in the ether, it looks as though
seeing over wires would be quite as
simple as talking over the telephone.
The time may come. and not so very
far away either, when We viii pick up
the telephone and not only talk with
our friends. hundreds of miles away,
but see them quite distinctly as well.
Electricity travels at nearly the
same speed as light, $4,000 miles a
second, and it is planned to change
the light vibrations into electrical Vi
brations. send them over the wire
and then change them back into
light vibrations, which viii be visible
TO the naked eye This Is exactly
what occurs in telephone in much
simpler way. The sound waves. are
changed into electric waves. these
electric waves are flashed over wire
