Electricity and Its Usez.
There was an old sign In a

There was an old sign In a DOWN.
town window which read:
I'VE will be a mother to you"
It was a standing invitation for lone
bachelors to go inside and be patched
and mended and have buttons reserved.
But II a couple Of enterprising women

lively few men. what name shall we
apply to electricity? Is there anything
now that the electric current Is not
called upon to perform?
In some homes 1t not only lights the
house, but warns 1t Of burglars. 1t
rings the front door bell and sweeps the
floor. It curls milady's hair and brushes
the husbands shoes. II the house gets
ablaze it rings the fire alarms. At
tached to a fan 1t makes a cool breeze
on a hot day and in winter 1t warns
the room. 1t summons you to the tele-
phone and then carries your message
hundreds Of miles In any direction. II
brings the servant with cup OF coffee
to your breakfast table, while at the
same time 1t whirls the brush that
grooms your horse in the stable. II 1t
does not run your automobile, at least
1t saves the husky arm Of your chauf-
feur by starting the engine for him.
Hitched to a brush, this elusive but all
powerful force will polish your silver
ware, or 1t will massage your face.
BY car 1t will carry a man to his Of
fee, where all the motive power in his
place Of business is supplied by this
weirdest Of all natures forces. For the
farmer, electricity can and does do
wonderful things. It first separates the
cream from the milk and then churns
the butter. 1t does the family laundry
and cuts the feed for the cattle. Coupl-
ed to q saw, electricity converts tree
into firewood. 1t grinds the flour for
bread and shells the corn for horses.
With a little suction apparatus, elec-
tricity will snatch the dust from your
beloved books and make your picture
frames look like new. It enables you
to talk across an ocean and pretty soon
no one will come to Philadelphia or go
away from 1t except in a railway pull

And to think that one who lived only
so short a while ago as Abraham Lin

All the British business world Is talk.

Owen Phillips, familiarly styled the CO.
lossus Of shipping, says London Letter
Still on the right side Of 80, his exploits
as business builder have placed him
in the very front line Of the magnates
Of commerce.
All this has been achieved in seven
strenuous. years. Sir Owen Phillips
first began to make good when he took
charge of the affairs of the Royal Mall
Steam Packet company, which he re-
organized and raised to position OF
financial security. This done, he CO.
operated with Lord Pirrie in the for
nation Of the large shipping trade
managed by the late Sir Alfred Jones
and amalgamated the two interests
into one concern with a capital Of $10,-
OO0, 900.
Realizing the Importance Of the fu-
ture opportunities In the far east that
will follow the opening Of the Panama
canal, he secured control Of the Pacific
Steam Navigation company and at one
bound became a magnate in the South
American shipping trade. BY the sub
sequent purchase of the Forwood Line
he secured considerable share Of the
Mediterranean and North American
trade, and he has now entered the
South African field by the absorption
Of the Union Castle line, BY this final
deal Sir Owen Phillips becomes boss OF
the greatest mercantile fleet any one
man has ever controlled, totaling BOO
ships, with q tonnage Of 100000
Merchants are now asking one another
II the Phillips combination Is out after
a corner in shipping, and persistent ru-
NOR has already marked out the Orient
line as the next prize.
Before Sir Owen Phillips hustled to
such startling effect in British shipping
circles, he sampled life as a politician
and entered parliament as a liberal
member for Welsh constituency. He
did not offer himself for reelection at
the last general election, and thus cut

In spite, however, Of his shipping
combine Sir Owen Is not man Of one
idea. He Is one Of the active presidents
Of the London and Southwestern rail-
road and of the st. Thomas Dock En-
cheering company, vice chairman OF
the port of London, authority and
chairman of the West African section
Of the London Chamber Of Commerce.
And as he Is also actively interested In
various philanthropic institutions, one
wonders what leisure he has at his dis
posal to use any of his four London
clubs, or to visit Amroth castle, his
magnificent residence in Pembroke
shire.
He is one Of three brothers, all well

THE BULGARIAN ARMY.
Organization Moves Like cIceIework
and Shows Fine Discipline.

ana SHOWS Fine Discipline.
A correspondent of the London Tele-
graph writes that the Bulgarian army is
wonderful organization and moves
like clockwork. Continuing he says:
When driving through the mountains
I have been frequently astonished to
see long lines Of OK carts heavily laden
with army stores slowly plodding along
and wondered how such primitive
transport could be adequate to mod
ern army.
The needful explanation was afforded
me at Kostendil. where have had oc-
casion to see one Of these commissari-
ats in full operation. All the OK carts
In the adjoining departments had been
requisitioped to the number Of 1000.
They were then divided into FIVE Sec
tions Of 200 carts each. The drivers,
with their whips. astrakhan or ordinary
sheep wool caps and long sheepskin or
goat hair coats, look picturesque be-
side their two small Greek oxen or AZ
rican buffaloes. Every day 200 cars are
pace, the driver walking before his
team, humming an air or smoking ci-
garette. He thus trudges up and down
the mountain roads for distance Of
fifteen kilometres, or nine and half
miles, which Is one days march. Then
he lights fire for himself at the road
side, has a warm meal, feeds his oxen
or buffaloes and lies down to sleep on
straw near the cart or in a barn, II a
farmhouse is near.
Next day he covers another nine or
ten miles. Here his load is taken into
horse drawn carts, which carry 1t more
rapidly to the nearest fighting troops,
perhaps twenty miles away. The team
ster then returns, taking two days. as
he had on the outward trip. and on the
fifth day rests while his cart is being
reloaded.
Only bread was thus transported
from Kostendil. It was In good, round,
appetizing loaves, weighing two pounds
Of half wheat half rye bread, which re-
mains soft and palatable for fifteen
days. I had partaken Of 1t myself. as
no other was available. The entire
population lives on this bread now. No
one thinks Of baking any other during
time Of war. nNf y
Life in these places Is now entirely
absorbed by the war. Two-thirds Of
the shops are shut and the owners are
carrying rifles and wearing uniforms.
All bakeries have been requisitioned for
the army and are baking army bread
day and night. Women and children
are helping. School-boys and students
wear neat uniforms and help where
they can. The students are clerks at
the railway stations or public offices
and act as police and contables. On
leaving my hotel saw young student
scarcely more than fifteen, in uniform,
dragging long sabre by his side. He
was the village policeman and was
proud Of his office.

WILSON'S VIEW OF HIS JOB
Embodied In Lectures While He Was
President Of Princeton.

| Embodied In Lectures While He Was
President Of Princeton.
Four years before his election to the
presidency, while still at the head OF
Princeton university, woodrow Wilson
expressed his views Of the presidential
office, In a series Of lectures that were
printed In book form under the title OF
Constitutional Government In the
United States" says the Kansas City
|, Star These lectures are Of especial in
terest in view Of recent events.
In the first place, he insists that the
office really does not demand actual
experience In affairs so much as par
ticular qualities OF mind and character.
which we are at least as likely to find
outside the ranks Of our public men as
within them" These qualities, he ex-
plains, mean that the man would
seem to the country in some sort, an
embodiment Of the character, and pur-
pose It wishes its government to have
IA man who understands his own day
and the needs Of the country, and who
has the personality and initiative to en-
force his views both upon the people
and upon congress"
In other words, a leader Of public
opinion, rather than an experienced
politician, is to be desired.
1.-The president" Mr.. Wilson con-
tinues, may stand, II he will, little
outside party and insist as 1t were,
on the general opinion. The president
may also, II he will, stand within the
party counsels and use the advantages
Of his power and personal force to con-
troll actual programmes. If he leads the
nation, his party can hardly resist him.
His office Is anything he has the sa-
gacity and force to make It."
But timid souls inquire, does not the
constitution set bounds to the power
of the presidents? Yes, the president
elect replies, but the constitution Is
mot a mere lawyers, document; It Is
vehicle Of life, and its spirit is al
ways the spirit Of the age"
Some presidents have restrained
themselves from using their full power
because Of conscientious scruples. But
In the view Of the president elect, the
makers Of the constitution were not
enacting the Whig theory Of the sep
aration Of the powers Of government
into law. SO they left the president at
liberty ito be as big man as he can."
II congress be overborne by him 1t is
only because the president has the ma
ton behind him and congress has not
What becomes, then, Of the soulful
contention Of patriots Of generations
that this should be government OF
laws and not Of men?" Well, on Page
II Of his book Mr.. Wilson comes out
bluntly: There never was such gov
ernment. Constitute them how you
WILL governments are always govern
ments Of men, and no part Of any gov
ernment is better than the men to
whom that part Is intrusted."
Evidently the president-elect holds
himself free to lead his party to meet
the demands made by modern indus
trial conditions. In carrying out this
practical theory Of presidential lead
ership he will have the support Of all
progressives.
