1t for a park. Therefore, | should not be
afraid of putting this forward as bus
mess proposition to any one who would
anpreciate what the future of Washing
ton is going to be.
..,rhe trouble has been with you, as it
has been with us, that you have not been
sufficiently hopeful. 1t may seem strange
to saw so to an American audience. be-
cause they are supposed to be hopeful,
but the trouble is you have not appre-
ciated that you are going to be a great
nation You have not understood what
a rich and populous nation you are going
to be- and as the result you are going
To have an enormous capital, even il it
has no large industries. We made the
mistake in London. when We began TO
build the railway stations OF making
tiny stations not realizing that the
country and the city was going to srow
enormously and that we would need far
more space for our increased population
1t seems strange now, with what Is so
obvious, that every man of sense did not
forsee it. But now certainly you nave
reason to forsee the growth of this coun-
try. ] do not know that European coun-
tries are going to grow so much IN the
future, but about this country there is
no doubt.
You are going on increasing in popu-
lation for at least a century and a half
or two centuries to come, and IN that
time no one can see what Your popula-
ton may become That is the reason
why you should do these things. The
only man who seems to have foreseen
it, so far as I can see, was George WASH
ington himself. He appears to have seen,
although he lived before Louisiana was
purchased and before we acquired ter
ritory on the Pacific coast, that this was
going to be an enormous country, and
ought to have a grand capital. and you
ought TO go back to his ideals and in so
doing pay the highest tribute you can
pay to his immortal memory.
.sWhat you have got to do, ladies and
gentlemen, is to make the nation feel
that it's interest is in Washington; to
make the man from Maine to Arkansas
or Minnesota or Florida, feel that Wash
ington belongs to him. 1t is not those
who live here alone that are its owners,
but these men from all over the country.
They come here every year and they are
proud of the nation and ought to be
taught to be proud of their nations cap
ital. That Is a very great task for you
to undertake. | am sure, but If you Will
address yourself to it | cannot doubt
that you will succeed, and I could only
hope to be here at time to witness
the results of your efforts

Harvesting the Sun in Egypt

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Some one once asked Nikola Tesla
what i'll his opinion, was the most impor-
tant discovery made during the last cen
tury. His reply was that he regarded no
discovery as containing vaster potential i
tiles than the small toy one sometimes
sees in shop windows, IN which couple
of tiny flags are made to revolve in a
vacuum through the influence of the
suns rays. Since that remark was made
the process of Harvesting the sun has
gone much further; and the recent meet
ing of a city company which is actually
engaged in utilizing sun power in Egypt
and elsewhere has a very genuine signi-
ficance If the process is ever developed
on a widespread scale, the tropics will
come to their own at last, for sun power
in it's present form can only be adopted
for irrigation and general commercial
purposes within 20 degrees of the equator.
The temperate zones must retaliate by
harnessing the tides.

Longevity of the Indian
'om the Cincinnati Commercial Ga

From the Cincinnati commercial ia
zstte.
"When the Indians bair grows white
the white man has already disap-
peared," is an Indian saying.
a Blaclsfoot Indian with the well au-
thenticated age of 131 years is soon to
visit the east.
While the white man may smile at
these reputed great ages among the
men of the wilds and view them as fic-
titious. the men who have lived among
ttese people accept them without reser
vation
Travellers and explorers know that
men and women among the Indian
tribes OF all climates reach remarkable
ages. The claims can be verified with
a reasonable accuracy and are accepted.
Two decades ago a railroad contrac-
tor in Mexico found an Indain peon in
the state of Vera Cruz who gave his
age as 1876 years. With him was a son
of the tender age of 100 years. The
American marveled at the claim and
had the records at Vera Cruz searched.
with the result that the baptisma1 GER
tificate was unearthed and the claim
proved.
President Diaz of Mexico was fond of
telling about a Mexican veteran who
fought under Morelos and who at the
time he met him was a mere youth of
127 years.
The outdoor life. the stolidity of the
Indian, his absolute lack of NERVES"
are all elements conducive to longevity
That a people OF their temperament
and of their mode of living should reach
remarkable age is to be expected,
in view of what the white man has
learned about the diseases of the lux
urious civilization.
The Indian under the modern condi-
tions, gives no indication of possessing
the long life of his forefathers. He is
subject even in an extraordinary de-
gree to the diseases of civilization. He
possesses neither the endurance nor re-
cuperative powers of his ancestors
only few years ago great scien
tist in search of the fountain of youth
discovered that among the people of
the mountainous Balkan states men at
tanned great ages. He began u patient
investigation and finally attributed the
cause to the fact that they were in
verate drinkers of buttermilk. 1t was
his theory that the Tactic acid from
with which buttermiilk is loaded had
a disinfecting influence upon the intes-
tlnal tract that promoted longevity
Ills discovery was heralded as
great one and men and women of all
nations went crazy over drinking but
terrilk in order to live for ever 1t did
-@oN w ~~-S teoAitis EiopaDly iiu d hNtiN
good. but that the butterniillk craze
ever made anyone live To be a centen-
arian Is, of course, unknown.
But how much more probable is it
that these phlegmatic mountaineers,
devoid OF nerves" living in the open
and hardened to the winds owed their
long lives rather 10 these causes than
to the buttsrmilk they drank.
Civilization means luxury and lux
ury means a suOrteca1 life

BEEF MONOPOLY
PROBE ASSURED
Congressman Kinkead Receives
Word From Leaders Quiz
Will Be Deep.

Congressman Kinkead Of New Jer-
sey, representing the Jersey City dis
trict, who recently introduced in the
House a resolution for an investiga.
ton of the Beef trust, has been as
sured by leading members Of the
House judiciary Committee that the
committee will make a sweeping in
vestigadon the coming winter.
Mr.. kinkead declared today that II
the investigation was made there
would be no question Of the startling
believes 1t inevitable that II will open
the way to criminal prosecutions. He
said he had evidence regarding the
operations Of the trust in New Jer-
sey that alone would reveal abuses of
ished by sending the men responsible
to Jail.
Advice To McReynolds.
IF the Attorney General wants to bet
ter conditions in this country" said Mr.
Kinkead. my advice is to devote nine
tenths Of his time to the Beef trust and
the other one-tenth to the Tobacco and
other trusts. The cents a day which
may be exacted from consumers on to-
bacco or the 51s cents which is asked
by the Sugar trust for a pound of sugar
do not cause any serious complaint that
purchasers are not getting their moneys 8
worth. but everybody knows that the
housekeeper who buys steaks. chops.
and other kinds Of meats at present
prices is not getting the value for
which she pays and is compelled to pay
prices that are indefensibly exorbitant. -
Resolution Is Broad.
Mr.. Kinkead's resolution was aimed
at the hroadest kind Of an investigation
OF the Beef trust and its practices. COW
ering not alone this country. but other
countries. In view Of free meats under
the new tariff bill, Mr.. Kinkead wants
to know whether the trust, which has
reached out to South America and vari-
Gus other parts Of the world is maneu-
vering to exact high prices Of American
consumers despite removal Of tariffs.
His resolution was referred to the
Rules Committee, but he is assured the
judiciary investigation will be sufficient
ly sweeping to meet his demands.
