hard.working laborer can make. Singu.
larly enough, It is Just among the
poorer laborers that these beggars
meet the most pity and find their
stanchest supporters.
The healthy but lazy beggars are In
reality the product OF the large towns.
They are recruited from the persons
who have not been taught a regular
trade. Among the poorer people when
the boys leave school at the age OF
fourteen years. the parents cannot re-
slst the temptation to let them go out
as errand or Office boys, by which they
earn about one and one-half forms (60
cents) a week, which is quite an add.
ton TO the family income. Most or.
rand boys learn nothing but to loaf
nbout the streets, and when they be.
rome too old to be employed as boy
they join the unemployed" For where
n ia difficult for skilled laborers to
pbtain regular employment Il is much
harder for those who have learned
neither trade nor handicraft. Now they
have no other alternative but to beg
or steal. Generally. they do both. and
Il il from this contingent that the
criminal class Is reinforced.
II is evident that this group could.
with some care. be eliminated from the

SENDING PICTURES BY WIRE
French Inventor Has Succeeded In
relegraphing Photograph From
Bordeaux to Paris.

Edouard Belin, French inventor,
has succeeded in telegraphing photo
graph from Bordeaux to Paris in the
record time of four minutes.
M. Belin's process differs radically
from korn's method. Instead of using
selenium he prepares a Photographic
plate, the basis of which Is bichroma-
ted gelatin and the surface OF which is
uneven. A small metal point, passing
over the uneven surface of the plate,
causes a variation of the electric cur
rent, which renders possible the trans
mission over telegraph or telephone
wire Of the lights and shades of half
tone plates, and is attended with re-
markable regularity and speed.
The most interesting feature Of NJ.
Belin's invention is that 1t Is possible
to carry about small apparatus
weighing about sixteen pounds and i'm
mediately attach it at any telephone
station. This renders possible the tele-
phoning of pictures over long distance.
In the experiment referred to
photograph by inches was sent. An
hour was occupied in preparing the
plate with the uneven surface, but only
four minutes were occupied In the
transmission of the photograph.

ernment has come to recognize this
TACT and has appointed a commission
to assist parents in the choice of O
trade or handicraft for their children
and a movement Is on foot to induce
the government to extend free techni-
cal education to those leaving the ele-
mentary schools. 1t might be neces.
sary to make such tuition obligatory.
lhis would also keep the children off
the streets at the most dangerous age.
1t has been found impossible to re-
claim the professional beggar, as the
Dutch government has been reluc-
tantly forced to confess after expert
menting for 25 years with giving them
work In the government agricultural
colony-Veenhuizen. Only those con-
victed OF vagrancy or beggary, or those
sentenced to short terms of imprison-
ment for theft can be housed at Veen-
huizen after completing their term of
Imprisonment. Instead, however, OF
putting their knowledge of agriculture
and other branches taught them into
practise, the men dismissed from the
colony generally drift back to crime
and prison and often pass their lives
alternately in prison and in Veenhui-
zen.
They Are Degenerates.
On careful examination by alienists
and medical men these professional
beggars were all found to have some
form OF psychical degeneration, as well
as some physical taint, which must
have made them the shiftless vagrants
they eventually became Almost with.
out exception, beggars of the third
group come from the very poorest peo.
pie, who are Ill housed, Ill fed and Ill
clothed. The task for the government
with this class is even more difficult
than with the others. for here It is not
only education that Is needed, but
practically everything-better housing,
food and clothing for the whole neither.
most layer Of society.
1t will be almost impossible to re.
fern the present generation of beg.
gars. but 1t certainly will be possible
to prevent the rising generation of i'm.
poverished Netherlanders from swell.
ing the ranks OF the idle poor.
A new method Of dealing with beg.
ging Is now to be tried. Begging itself
is not to be constituted an offense;
but, first, its causes will be investiga.
ted, and for this purpose several soci.
eties and institutions are to work to
gether with the government. When
the causes have been ascertained an
effort will be made to help the individ.
ual to overcome his difficulty and SO
prevent him from becoming a perma.
nent burden upon society.

| The highest point of all in Capri is
Mount Solaro. Just west of the central
cliff, 1920 feet.
The effect of the island, rising thus
steeply from the sea, is striking from
any point of view. The mountain
sides are bare and gray, save in the
milder slopes. where vegetation is pos
sible. Olive groves and vineyards oc-
cupy the gentler hillsides and the pla-
teaus. Hotels and villas are scattered
here and there in commanding posi-
tions. Roads cut zigzag up the heights
can be traced by the retaining walls.
The water Of the Bay of Naples is a
wondrous blue, and. as the shores Of
Capri are neared the color becomes
more pronounced, owing to the shoal-
ing. The steamer anchors In liquid tur-
quoise. Out come the rowboats, be-
fore the chain begins to rattle, and in
a few minutes the now familiar proc
ess Of putting off and taking on pas
sengers is in progress. But here only
a few embark, while several dozen go
ashore.
After a. short wait the steamer
weighs anchor again and starts off
along the coast toward the western
end of the island. Experienced tour
lists, or those with good advice, go be-
low to the gangways to be among the
first to visit the grotto.
Not sign of an entrance to the cav
ern appears as we leave the steamer
but after a short pull the little bark is
brought to a point where the rock wall
is darkened. A statue of the Virgin is
let into the cliff 80 feet from the sur.
face of the sea, alongside of hotel ad.

position of advantage.
