The New Age of Power.

1t was in 1858 that the frat Holster

activity into the sphere of industrial
production, and its first general use
was to replace the steam engine in cleo

equally practicable, and the Krupp- Err
LANCER came hard upon the heels of this,
and by the autumn of 1854 a gigantic
replacement of industrial methods and
machinery was in progress all about the
habitable globe.
For many years the price of coal and
every form of liquid fuel had been
to levels that made even the
revival of the draft-horse seem a prac-
tieable possibility. and now with the
abrupt relaxation of this stringency,
the change in appearance of the traffic
upon the worlds roads was instantan-
eous. In three years the frightful ar

ter pertaining to the manufacture of a
new grade of shoes. Whether he kept
this appointment has not been learned,
owing to Mr.. Baker being absent ON a
business trip.

urday of the strange disappearance, but
no trace of the missing man could be
found

A Trinity of Fatigues.

In the January Woman's Home Com.
panion appears a "Just-Before Christ.
mas" editorial, an extract from which
| follows:
Looking into this Christmas throng
that is now gathering and which viii
gather even more and more densely up
to 10 o'clock Christmas eve, it seems to
resolve itself into a Trinity of Needless
Fatigue.
First, the fatigue of those who make
Nobody knows beforehand exactly how
the taste OF people is going to jump,
and soisafter samples have been sent out
and orders have come in, the girls in
the manufacturing places begin to work.
They work in shifts, day shifts and
night shifts; they work overtime Some
make little extra money, and some
only hold down their jobs, according to
the laws of the state in which they are
working.
Then there is the fatigue of those
who sell. These are not only the girls
whom we see, pale-faced behind coun.
ters, selling goods to thoughtless pub
lie at the last moment, but that horde
of girls who are rolling up packages in
the packing rooms, who work twelve or
fourteen hours day in this mad orgy of
eleventh hour buying All these people
are pressed into service for few weeks
each year because of this riot of hasty
buying with which a Christian nation
is paradoxically getting ready to cele-
brate the feast of Peace on earth, good
will toward man."
"The third in the Trinity of Needless
Fatigue is the woman who buys and the
woman who makes at home; the woman
who must buy a great deal on very
little money, the weary housemother on
whose shoulders rests the burden of all
the unnecessary part of each individual
little Christmas sacrifice that is being
celebrated throughout the country, the
woman who is going to be finishing
Christmas presents and tying Christmas
bundles until late on Christmas eve, who
is going to be too tired on Christmas
morning to enjoy the joy of her own
children.
with each individual one of us rests
the responsibility of seeing how many
victims to this Christmas madness there
are going to be: how many housemoth-
ers too tired TO enjoy their own Christ
mas merrymakings, how many over
worked girls and women in factory and
in store. We must not only do our
Christmas buying early, we must also
do our Christmas buying sensibly and
our Christmas making sanely."

PAY TEACHERS TO STUDY ABROAD.
William B. Snow of Boston English High
School Urges.

Cities should grant leave with half
pay to modern language teachers who
will 90 the expense of study abroad, .
declares William B. Snow, of the Boston
English high school in bulletin just
issued by the United States bureau of
education. On the whole DIR. Snow
thinks modern language instruction in
our best schools is as good as that abroad,
in proportion to the time allowed. I'VE
need more good teachers and an oppor
tunity for selected pupils TO begin the
study OF a foreign language under conf
petent instruction in the grades. The
colleges should give special attention to
preparing teachers of modern languages
In speaking of the various methods
of language instruction, each with its
ardent advocates. Mr.. Snow says the
reason the discussion wakes so warm is
that all the methods have some good
features; that nearly everything de-
ponds upon the teacher. THE worst
OF dozen methods, employed by
strong teacher with underlying purpose
well in mind, will give more valuable
training and better results than any
method when employed by an inferior
teacher
at is probable, too, that one method
is better than another for doing some
things, by less effective in securing
different end, so that the aim when
seems most important will determine
the method TO be used in a particular
case. Instead of trying to lay out in
detail the best method, we should con
slider various methods that have been
found good. endeavor to see wherein
their merit lies. and decide what meth
cd seems especially well-suited TO va
rious conditions and to different types
of classes or teachers"
On the question OF whether CONVEX
sation or translation should be empha
sized in teaching modern languages, Mr..
Snow insists that both demand teaching
of the very highest type to be effective
that both are valuable. Translation
has its friends and its bitter enemies.
Reformers have worked as hard to drive
it out of the class as they have to drag
in. The difficulty is that
the meat in the sandwich has tendency
TO drop out and leave only the bare
bread translation comes to be me-
ehanca substitution OF the words OF
one language for the words of another,
with little or no thought in the process
while translation ought to mean the |
study of a passage until its thought /
is clearly apprehended. and then an eff |
fort to put that exact thought into the !
other language with all the force and |
beauty that our command of the second /
language makes possible"

1915 ARSENIC PRODUCTION.
Amounted TO 2,37s Tors in the United
States.

The output OF arsenic in the United
States during 1913 was all III the form
of white arsenic or arseHious oxide COM
monty known as arsenic" and amount
ed to about 2,375 short tonh, valued II
Sl42340 against 1875 short tons, val
ued at Sl90,757, in 1912, decrease OF 100
tons in quantity and S4Sil7 in value,
according to the preliminary figures col
lected by Frank l.. Hess OF the L. 5.
Geological Survar.
As in 1913, write arsenic WAS pro
duced in tins country only from smelter
fluc or playhouse dusts and by the same
three firms which produced il IN the pre-
ceding year. The Anaconda Copper com
pany saved white arsenic from fumes
made in smelling Butte copper ores at
the Great Wasnoe smelter at Anaconda,
Mont. At Nidvale Utah. the United
States Smelling company sublimed white
arsenic from bag-housc dusts collected
in smelling tintic and other Utah copper
ores. The American Smelling & Retin-
ing company saved its output from iue
dusts made from both domestic and for
eign ores.
There is so little direct profit in the
manufacture of white arsenic, owing
largely to the long distances it must Dc
shipped to market, that the smelling
make it only because they
must prevent its escape into the atmos-
phere. If the demand and prices iusti-
fled larger output the production could
be greatly increased.
Arsenic is used principally as an in
secticide for spraying fruit trees; in
the manufacture OF glass, especially
plate glass; and for destroying weeds.
