ArlstoeratIc Lawmakers.

Glassmaking used at one time to be
the most aristocratic of all industries.
A French law passed under Louis
TX. allowed none but men of noble
birth to set up glass-blowing estab-
lishments or even to work therein.
For many centuries this was the only
trade noblemen could venture to work
in without any danger of losing caste.
The art of glassmaking reached Eng
land through France, and in its early
days those Engaged in it styled them
selves gentlemen glass blowers"

SOME CRUMBS 56[66T


For those Of us who are forced to
spend most Of our summers in cities
there are few consofing thoughts.
remarks a writer In the Atlantic
Monthly. One is that the severest
heat does not prompt men to crime,
as the social statisticians have found
that the severest cold does. Another
Is that the worst temperature we are
called upon to face falls long way
short Of the endurance limit of the
human body and brain, as proved by
French experiments at the ESQ degree
level. Another comes from the dis
covery through the newspapers, with
every prolonged hot wave, that we are
breaking the record" in some line
or other. This ought to be a stimulus
to our pride. and II we wish to carry
further the beneflcent influence Of
mental suggestion, all we need to do
is to compare what is happening to us
with what has happened to various
other people at various other times.
For instance, when the encyclopedias
tell us that in A. d. 627 the heat
In France and Germany dried the wa
ter sources and a multitude Of people
died of thirst; that in the battle Of
Bella, in 1860, more soldiers were
killed by the sun than by the weapons
of the foe; that in 1908 three great
rivers of western Europe went dry,
and that in Odessa, in 1889, the noon
temperature reached 144 degrees and
a sunshade was necessary at five in
the morning, we are bound to con-
clude that we are not SO badly of,
after all.

PRESENT LIMIT OF WIRELESS
Depends Largely on Existing Weather
Conditions, but Possibilities Are
Apparently Unknown.

According to Prot. j. A. Fleming,
several of the most powerful wireless
stations are now generating ether
waves having a length from crest to
crest of about four miles, and these
disturbances can be detected" at dis
tances up to 5000 miles from their
source-that is, four such stations
would suffice to "girdle" the earth.
Obviously, however, the ability to de
tect" the signals over this vast dis
lance, presumably under favorable
weather conditions. is a very differ
ent thing from the power to maintain
commercial communication along the
route. AS yet the wireless service
available to the public covers but a
third, or at most half, this distance.
There is as yet no means of deter
mining the practical limit of wireless
communication. improvements in APP
paratus, perhaps even some new dis
covery as to methods of stirring up
the ether, may revolutionize the art
and upset all present standards. But
at present even the most successful
systems get into serious difficulties
when called upon to maintain constant
communication over line 1000 miles
in length. A recent British wireless
commission was able to secure but
one demonstration on a line 1000
miles long, although several companies
declared their ability much to exceed
this distance in a commercial installa-
tion.-New York Evening Post.

Another Tribute to the Horse.

When it was first said last April
that horseracing was to be resumed
in the state Of New York, Col. Frank
lin P. Morgan, who loves sport of any
sort, expressed his qualification at the
news.
"Horseracing." he said enthusiastic
cally, "is a great and glorious thing.
1t warns the heart, thrills the brain
and puts money into circulation"
'Yes, yes" chimed in the group who
was listening to him.
"The only trouble is" added the
colonel dryly, that in the matter OF
horseracing all of the horse sense is
on the track, and none Of It in the bet
ting ring. Pc ular Magazine.

VAST ARMY COST.

1t may be Illuminating to tax
payers to learn how much Of their
money is used to build dreadnoughts
and to equip armies which might
yield better results If applied to
better ends. In the fiscal year of
1911-12 the United States spent
more than $244 100000 for main
tanning its army and navy. This
represents charge of $2.63 per unit
of its population. The cost of the
naval and military force constituted
nearly 27.1 per cent. of the total
expenditures Of the country. Each
man in the army of the United States
costs the Government $1,314 per
year. What this enormous outlay
for a hypothetical war means to the
taxpayer is obvious. There is no
reason for surprise at the high cost
OF living in this country when we
learn that during the year 1911-12
this country, with less than IA per
cent. as many men in its army as
France spent 60 per cent. as much
money on it; with less than 10 per
cent. as many as Germany, II spent
almost 81 per cent. as much. The
army cost us last year an average of
more than $1,000 for each man in
II as against less than $500 paid by
any nation in Europe.

GLYNN's DoINGs.

Martin H. Glynn, New YORK
Catholic Governor, has occupied the
Executive chair only about a month
Int already his success is pro-
digious. Charles E. Hughes toiled
nightly at the Sisyphus stone OF
direct primaries and gained hardly
one painful inch. William Sulzer
clawed the air and Numbered at the
Legislature, denouncing upon 1t the
vengeance of the "peepul" If it
failed to enact the direct primary
law, and the Legislature responded
by putting him out of his Office
Gov. Glynn sent a modest, peaceful
little message to the Legislature,
pointing out that it would be good
thing IL the half dozen measures he
Enumerated were passed, and in the
twinkling of an eye they go
through, among them the direct
primary and the Massachusetts
ballot. To the New York Times this
is amazing. Gov. Glynn certainly
must be assigned something more
than a mere footnote in history. II
future historians are not diligent In
their study of contemporary cir
cumstances they will set him down
as the greatest man of his time.

MAY BRING RELIEF.

During the past few months a
.slowing up in business has been
perceptible. This is becoming ap-
parent in industries that depend for
their prosperity upon an easy con-
dition of the money market. the
consequence is an unusually large
number of unemployed in Industrial
centers. There is no indication OF
financial panic, such as prevailed
during the closing months of 1907.
But there will undoubtedly take
place a gradual readjustment finan-
cially. We have been living too
fast. says one of our contemporaries
Nevertheless the passage of the cur
rency bill by Congress gives reason
for hope that better times are near
at hand and that soon there will be
work for everybody.

O'NEILL'S LATEST.

Capt. Francis O'Neill, of Chicago,
who is an authority on Irish music,
has placed the Irish people under
another debt of gratitude. His
latest splendid 50O-page volume,
Irish Minstrels and Musicians" is
no dry treatise on music-it makes
the reader acquainted with the
harpers, pipers, fiddlers and flute
players who have made Irish life
happier with their art for centuries.
Their story is told in an attractive
way. and the readers interest is
quickened by little bits of history
and humorous sallies which are in
troduced here and there in the
work. Capt. O'Neill is no novice in
authorship-he has written other
works on Irish music and has COM
piled several Irish musical collec-
tons. His latest work is inscribed
as follows: Dedicated to the ven
Grated memory of my parents, whose
tuneful tastes and memorized' melo-
dies are cherished as a most precious
heritage" The book is worthy of
a place in the home of every Irish
person who takes a pride in Ire
lands past and is anxious to pre-
serve and populariZe the good things
that belong to it, and it is to be
hoped that what Capt. O'Neill under
took as a labor of love will bring
him the remuneration which the
quality and character of the volume
deserve.
