SEEKS GENUINE GREENHEART.

Clayton D. Nell of the U. S. forest
service sailed the other day from New
York for British Guiana to inspect
greenheart timber to be used in the
construction of docks and other ma
rine works for the Panama canal. He
goes at the request of the isthmian
canal commission in order that the
engineers may be sure that they are
getting genuine greenheart timber, for
which number of inferior substi.
tutes are offered
Genuine greenheart has the reputa.
tion of being the most resistant wood
to the attack of marine borers and to
decay. Borers are especially bad in
tropical waters. The wood is, In addi-
ton, hard, heavy and durable, and not

ELECTRICAL APPARATUS AND
SUPPLIES.

Statistics of the electrical machin-
cry, apparatus and supplies industry
in the United States for 1909 are pre-
sented in detail in bulletin soon to
be issued by Director Harris of the
bureau of the census, department of
commerce. 1t was prepared under the
supervision of w. NJ. Stewart, chief
statistician for manufactures.
This industry includes the manufac-
ture of the machines and appliances
used in the generation, transmission
and utilization of electric energy, to-
gether with most of the parts, acces-
sories and supplies for them. 1t does
not include. however, the production
of poles. whether of wood, iron or
steel; nor does it include the manu-.
facture of glass and porcelain ware
made expressly for electrical purposes,
that of bare iron and copper wire, or
any of the group of electrochemical
and electrometallurgica products.
The total number of establishments
in the United States in 1909 engaged
in the manufacture of electrical ma
chinery, apparatus and supplies was
1,OO9. The total number of persons
engaged in the industry was 105, 900.
of whom 102,950 were wage earners.
The total capital employed was $267,-
S44,432, and the total value of prod,
ucts was 1921, ,30S,563.
The industry in 1909 was largely
centralized in the six states of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mas.
sachusetts. Illinois and Ohio. These
states together reported S3.9 per cent.
of the total average number of wage
earners, S2.6 per cent. of the total
value of products, and S3.1 per cent. of
the total value added by manufac-
ture

has been extended to the northern
states as well, and similarly satisfac-
tory results are hoped for throughout
the country. 1t is to stimulate more
widespread interest in the proposition
that the present project of having the
winning girls visit the capital at one
time was decided upon. Besides 1t
was considered that if the corn club
boys were given these yearly visits
to Washington, something was due to
the canning club girls. The organiza-
tions are closely allied and work along
together in the same districts, often
being administered by the same work
ers. The boys visits to Washington
have aroused much general interest;
they have received diplomas from the
secretary of agriculture, have shaken
hands with the president, ard have
been shown the sights. The girls are
expected to receive similar attentions
during their stay in the capital.
From the girls standpoint the main
interest in the visit will be the liberal
education they will receive from the
experience, but from the broader
standpoint the increased interest
throughout the states will more than
compensate for the outlay made.
While this is the first visit of the
girls in a body to Washington, one
girl made the trip last year when the
corn club boys were sent. She was
the winner in canning club contest
in an Arkansas county and the county
presented her with the trip, which she

Mrs. Houston possesses the unique
charm of knowing such lot about SO
many things without being aggressive.
and charm of all charms she doesn't
dream but that all other people know
the same things. She talks with equal
ease about what is best for babies
and the most vexing problems of
sociology; she knows the ways and
highways of America, and the gal
leries and cathedrals of Europe; she
is familiar with the social and his
torical life of the capitals of Europe,
and loves the keen, fresh air of the

SAFETY AT SEA.

Secretary of Commerce Redfield's
committee on hulls and bulkheads, to
prepare recommendation for the use
of the American delegation to the in
ternational conference on Safety at
Sea, to be held in London, November
~, has made its report.
The committee emphasizes the fact
that definite information concerning
many of the important questions could
only be obtained through careful and
exhaustive research by body of ex.
perts having at their command ample
resources to prosecute their investiga.
tons to a satisfactory conclusion.
Such body of experts under the juris-
diction of the department of commerce
was recommended by the committee,
1t being pointed out that 1t would as.
sist in the execution of rules already
established. would facilitate and en-.
courage improvements in ship con-
struction. and tend to increase the
safety of passengers and crew.

SENATOR'S VIEW OF CLASSICAL EDUCATION

lect his course of study. A man must
improve if he is to advance in any
form Of endeavor. Public life is one
of the most exacting professions-if
you choose to consider 1t as a profes.
sion. The science of government is
not fixed science. 1t changes with
the changing of general conditions.
Il would say that the man who is
to enter public life should remember
always that the science of government
is the most important of all things
to him. He must continue his studies
not for a term of years, but for life
time. He must advance the nation by
his actions.
what part classical education
will play in this work is problemati-
cal. 1t is not a matter of education
by itself. 1t is the training in mental
control which is of advantage to the
man who is studying the science of
government"

Nine. Hussein, in response to the in

selor of the Turkish embassy in Lon

NINE. HUSEIN, WIFE OF TURKISH DIPLOMAT

MY husband has not been there for
twenty years. And you wanted to
near about the Turkish women? What
a shame that l can't tell you. I've
heard great deal about my husbands
countrywomen, however. And natural
ly know many of the customs of the
land. Hussein Bey though he seldom
goes back home, is quite familiar with
the happenings in his own country"
is your husband a member of the
Progressive party of Young Turks?"
We'll, / just won't say that he is
not progressive" and Nine. Hussein
smiled evasively, but he is necessar-
lily passive. A diplomat must be SO.
Ihere is a feminist movement in Tur-
key, just as there is here, but some
how l don't think 1t will ever accom-
pilsh very much. In fact, my husband
says that he doesn't believe the time
will ever come when the women of
the country will even go with their
faces uncovered in public. 1t is not
SO much a custom of the country as
1t Is religion for a woman to be
modest to this degree.
You know that Turkish lady In
never allowed to entertain any mar
riageable men. By that l mean that IL
she has a dinner party for her near
relatives the only man guests must
be those so closely connected that
marriage with them would be impos-
sible. Marriages are all arranged by
the parents. At fourteen a girl takes
ftan tyosI
marry"
AT what age do you think your lit
tie girl should marry?" was asked.
Not under twenty-five" was the
quick reply. I'm fact, 1 believe that
woman isn't sure whom she wants
until she is half way along in the
thirties."
Nine. Hussein explained that Turk
may marry Christian, but Turkish
lady may not mary a Christian gentle
man. And the distinction? 1t is be-
cause the children always take the re-
ligion of their father, and it is desir-
able to increase the number of faith
full Mohammedans.
1t was time to leave and the inter-
parasol. A little sigh escaped her.
She had expected to greet madame in
a dimly lighted apartment, carpeted in
heavy oriental rugs and hung with
faded old tapestries. She had imag-
ined ornaments unusual in shape and
color. deep-cushioned divans, incense
burning fragrantly in darkly draped
corners of the darwing-room, soft
footed maid servants and a man serv-
ant in baggy trousers and loose
blouse, with a tiny red fez hanging on
the back of his head-all this to COM
plete an atmosphere of Bagdad and of
old Turkey. But the big sunshiny
room, with its comfortable chairs and
books and thin white curtains swaying
in the breeze hadn't a bit of mystery
about it. mot one Turkish thrill and
no hint of the harem about the little
mistress of this cozy aprtment," mused
the interviewer as she came out into
the tree bordered street. Queer, the
difference between imagination and
reality, isn't it?"
