DISCUSSES DECLINE
OF MERCHANT MARINE
DR.. Hans Keller, a German, Makes In
vestisation of Conditions Of
American Shipping.

DR.. Hans Keller, of Kiel University,
Germany, who has been making a spe-
cial study of the history of the Ameri-
| can merchant marine, has completed his
researches in this country and viii leave
for Germany next week To a Herald
| reporter. DR.. Keller expressed himself
as delighted with the facilities offered
in Washington for study of this kind He
mas been greatly surprised, however, at
| the lack of books on the important sub
ject' of Americas shipping trade writ
| ten from scientific viewpoint. His in
terest is in the economic phases of the
subject and he finds that American writ
ers almost universally have treated the
question I'm a controversial manner, or
else have allowed their patriotism to lead
them into making rather extravagant
statements.
His views of the future of our mer-
chant marine will be particularly inter-
esting from one who has made a dispas-
sionate survey of the situation. He attrib-
yates the decline of our ocean shipping
primarily to economic causes, and only
secondarily to the results of adverse leg
islation.- The high cost of operating
ships under the American flag, as COM
pared with those OF foreign countries he
gives as the chief reason for the in
ability of American vessels to compete
in the trade of the world, and he does
not believe that the admission of foreign
built ships to American registry, as pro-
vided by the Panama Canal act passed
last August, will bring any important
results unless some special inducements
are offered to shipowners to transfer
their holdings to the American flag At
any rate, the growth of the marine in
the next few years will, in his opinion,
be slow, if any Increase at all takes
place.
While not advocating any particular
propaganda, from the scientific stand
point, DIR. Keller believes that the most
effective way of extending the shipping
of the United States would be by the
granting of mail subsidies of sufficient
size to induce capitalists to establish
steamship lines to the principal ports of
South America, Africa, and the Orient
DR.. Keller plans to publish the results
OF his research in English as well as
In German, as he is thoroughly familiar
with the English language. having been
an exchange student in Harvard some
years ago.

MISSING THE EXCHANGES

The Huntington, Parkersburg and
Wheeling editors will never know
how lonesome 1t is'to do without their
papers for several days until they
move to a high aud dry fused IN all
aquatic sensc) town like Fairmont
and are cut OF from the pleasure OF
perusing their interesting columns. II
seems 10 us that We would just about
as leif-oc dividing the inconyenienccs
OF the flood with them rs tC be cut OFF
from their interchange.
Wheeling papers have been coming
very irreguIarly. The Register though,
we believe, has been published every
day. The Intelligencer seems to have
suffered from the food stage TO n
greater extent and that paper has
missed several issues. The Hunting
ton Advertiser and Herad'Dispatch
have been greatly missed but the
lSSucS Vi luSl - luhN anu SA'HANN'
have broken through the lines in some
way but we expect no more of them
now for several days. The Parkers-
burg DispatchNews and State Journal
have undoubtedly been Put out OF
commission AND the ParkersOurg Sen
final was at the late report issuing Il
poster edition on Il job press on the
second floorl0r their building. but none
of them have been sent out from
Parkersburg as far as we know.
The West Virginian extends its
sympathy to all these brethren OF the
press who have been so badly handi'
capped, as well as to their readers
who have learned to appreciate now.
to a greater extent, the daily visit OF
the local newspaper II is TO be hoped
that this situation will very soon be
relieved and that the daily papers of
the State will all come out again soon
with regularity.

CHARITABLE FAlRMoNT

Possibly no city in the whole coun-
try has responded as Literally to the
food relief as Fairmont, when pOpula-
ton is taken into consideration. The
contribution Of Fairmont will very
largely exceed that OF any other town
in the State for general relief Other
cities have contributed more for their
own relief and most all the cities have
acted most generously. Charity eN-
tended 10 those ne do not know and
never expect 10 know is indeed from
The heart, aud no contributor to this
fund will ever have cause to regret
that the contribution was made.
Fairmout will contribute more
than five thousand dollars, the
list yesterday reached over $4,000.
The list Of contributions yesterday was
SO hurriedly prepared that some con-
trlbutions were overlooked. Today Il
corrected and complete list is pub
ilished.
The contributions may go as high
as $4,000 as the five thousand mark
was passed very largely today.

Paper Cannon.

To the amazingly long list of ar ticles made of paper there may be added paper cannon, which have been manufactured at the Krupp works, in Germany. These paper field pieces are for special use of the infantry Their caliber is little less than two inches, and the pieces are so light that a soldier can easily carry one. But the resistance is greater than that of field piece of steel of the same caliber. It is not to be understood that these paper guns are in any way to replace those made of steel. The paper arms are intended merely for uses in situations where the move ment of field artillery would bc i'm practicable. Paper artillery on the field of battle seems an extraordinary thing, but it is hardly more so than paper wheels for freight cars on rail ways appeared when they were first introduced, or, for that matter. than paper water paiis were.

NOT YET THE SINLESS WORLD Spanish Penology Expert Illustrates Point With an Appropriate
 "Watermelon" Story.

Senor Fernando Cadalso, Spains in spector general of prisons, said re- gently in New York that he thought the time had not yet come for the abolition of capital punishment
 The world is not yet civilized enough for this advance" he contin- ued. The world, you know, is still a good deal in the state of the col ored people in the watermelon story.
 T heard this story from one of your clever southern editors. He said that a man was good deal troubled by thieves in his watermelon patch and so he called up his old gardener and began:
 Uncle Eli, I'm trying an expert ment with Doc Sawyer in the south watermelon patch. The melons there are poison variety, and if any of your colored friends touch them they'll be killed, sure. You'd better warn them, hadn't you?
 Sartenly I had, sah,' said Uncle Eli, I'll warn 'em, sah Trust me-
 And do you think your warningll have any effect? Do you think it will protect the south patch from theft 2
 What I thinks, sah' said Uncle Eli, scratching his head, is dat tAerell be lot O dade niggers round dat patch, dat's what I thinks, sah.'

Alexander Stephens as a Lawyer.

Alexander Stephens as Lawyer.
 In his own profession of the law Alexander H. Stephens fine intellec- tual sincerity stands out fully, and well proves that success requires nei- ther dishonesty nor shufIling. What business do you follow, Alex?" said his uncle to him in the early days. q am a lawyer" After an ominous silence the uncle spoke again. Alex, don't you have to tell lies?' Alex did not have to tell lies. Hear what he says, reviewing his career in old age: No advocate should ever assert as matter of fact in his clients case what he knows is not such; any code of morals justifying him in this woes not deserve the name." And again, more person ally: My rule from the time 1 was admitted to the bar was: First, to in vestigate a case submitted to me, to inquire into the facts and the law ap- plicable to it; then, if I did not be- lieve the party entitled to success be- fore the court, I told him so and de- clined to appear or prosecute the case. e."-Gamaliel Bradford, Jr in the Atlantic.

The protest against the popular pro- nunciation of Cinema" is just too late. Mir. Keble Howard has spelled it "Sinnemer, and he is so far right by the ear of London listener. And MT. Fflson Young has worked by the eye and found that the correct pronuncia- tion should be indicated as 'Kyneema," !" which-if we are able to talk Greek is right. But unfortunately there is no royal mint for words, and the new thing is generally christened and nur- tured and ennobled by the talk of the street. Any one may throw new word on the counter and say it as he pleases. The street boy has triumphed with his "Sinnemer. ."-London Chron icfe.

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE HOME
Serenity and Wisdom of Wife and Mother Dew and Sunshine to
 Growing Souls.

Wherever the great and beautiful work of art, home, had come into being, the wife and mother has had her paramount existence in that home though her interests and activities have not necessarily been limited to its sphere, declares Ellen Key in the Atlantic. But husband and children have been able to count on her in the home as they could count on the fire On the hearth, the cool shade under the tree, the water in the well, the bread in the sacrament. Thus upon husband and children is bestowed the experience which great poet gained from his mother. >"All became to her a wreath" A wreath where every days toll and holidays joy, hours of labor and moments of rest, were leaf and blossom and ribbon. The wise educator is never one who is "educat- ing from morning to night. She is one who, unconsciously to the chil- dren, brings to them the chief suste- nance and creates the supreme con ditions for their growth. Primarily she is the one who, through the SC renity and wisdom of her own na- ture, is dew and sunshine to growing souls. She is one who understands how to demand in just measure, and to give at the right moment She is one whose desire is law, whose smile is reward, whose disapproval is pun ishment. whose caress is benediction.

Origin of the Hall Mark.

The name of hall mark derives from the ancient monopoly of Goldsmith's Hall in establishing the standard Of gold and silver articles. In the pres ent time the marks are more common ly known as place marks. These are in four items, mark designating standard or quality. one indicating the office at which the assay was made, the mark indicating the year of assay and the private mark of the manufac. turer. So important are these marks on old plate that there has arisen knavish industry of cutting out old marks from Insignificant old pieces and embedding them bodily in modern fabrications. The more recent work on the subject is Chaffer's Handbook to Hall Marks on Gold and Silver Plate" which makes it quite easy to read the record ciphered in these signs.
