hdent, he let no wet day pass without
one of these excursions. Week after
week, month after month, and year
after year this scene was repeated in
the streets of London town. AS time
went on the people grew accustomed
to seeing the eccentric Jonas and his
umbrella, but it was fully thirty years
before any considerable number OF
them could bring themselves to follow
his example.
And now look at theml Wherever
the Englishman is found, there is the
umbrella, as surely as the tea pot and
the marmalade jar. other nations, too,
were slow to adopt the article. and
for years the British tourist with his
inevitable umbrella was an object OF
ridicule. He carried 1t to all parts
of the earth. and today in lands
where there is seldom any rain it is
ia continual use as a sunshade. Mex
leo, South America, the entire South
Pacific, Hindustan, and many another
country are dotted with white umbrel-
las carried by European and native
alike. No one ever saw the baboo Of
India without an umbrella, for it is an
essential part of his English educa,
ton.
The crude and clumsy umbrella that
Hanway carried, OF course has given
place to the neat, close-rolled affair
of today, with silk covering and handle
Of beautiful and expensive wood; but
the latter probably does not shed the
rain any more surely than did the
former, and If Jonas had not been Sc
persistent we might still be without
the blessed umbrella
So all honor to the memory Of
Jonas Hanway, English traveller and
phiIanthropist. whose bicentenary has
been forcibly brought to the notice Of
the people Of his native land by rains

London--There will be more luna
tics in the world than sane people
three hundred years hence. was the
prophecy Dr.. Forbes Wiuslow made
This prophecy is based upon the pres
snt rate of the growth OF lunacy as
revealed by recent returns.
Doctor Winslow expressed strong
disagreement with the statement
made at the Eugenics congress by
Doctor Mott to the effect that increase
in lunacy was more apparent than
real, and told a press representative
that in making such statement Doc
tor Mott apparently referred TO Lon
don only. DR.. Forbes Winslow said
that from his knowledge of the prog
ress of lunacy in ali parts Of the
world he had come to the conclusion
that we are rapidly approaching q
mad world He added: I'm every
part Of the world civilization is adj
yancing. and 90 insanity is also bound
to advance. There were 36762 regis
tered lunatics In 1859, but $4,000 at
the present day. That showed the
alarming increase"

London.-Two hundred years ago.
TO be more exact, in August, 17i2--
Jones Hanway was born in PORTSMOUTH,,
England.
Do you know who Jonas Hanway
was?
In the encyclopedias he is classed as
philanthropist and traveller, and he
was both of these. Having been aD-
prenticed to merchant in Lisbon. he
became interested in trade with the
east and journeyed through Persia. en-
during many hardships, after which
he spent FIVE years in st. Petersburg
In the way of philanthropy he was ao-
tive in the help of foundlings. fallen
women, the poor and prisoners. But
the one thing he did that makes his
fame everlasting was to introduce the
use of the umbrella to England apd
Europe generally.
The umbrella for centuries untold

and the sun. After he had retired
from business to London he had made
for himself an umbrella not differing
materially from those Of today. Ono
rainy day, wheI those who were so
unfortunate as to be compelled to go
out in the streets, were hurrying mis-.
erably along bedraggled and dripping,
out stepped Jonas Hanway, opened his
contraption, and strolled leisurely
along Fleet street dry as a bone and

were thrown open and windows were
flung up and it seemed as If the en-
tire population ofthat part of London
came out to make fun of Jonas and
his umbrella
The Britisher was conservative by
nature. then as now, and this especial
innovation did not please him. For
centuries he had got wet when il
rained, and why should he now change
and keep dry? So Jonas retired to
his house somewhat discounted. But
he was persistent, so on the next
rainy day he reappeared with his UNI
brella. Once more the jeers and
laughter Once more the trailing,

have some distinct features that but
few others have. We have correspon-

news that comes from all parts of the
United States. We do not burden our
readers with long essays or speeches
or resolutions that does not interest

that we can get more news. Since
the Bystander has been concentrated
into the possession of very few we
feel that we will be able to even
