recognition when they have anything
important to say.
Almost all the newspapers in New
York opposed the candidacy of Theodore
Roosevelt editorially, but in the news
columns they printed his speeches in fun
and they described his movements, his
comings and his goings, in elaborate de-
tail 1t was not SO 80 years ago. Once
a newspaper took sides editorially every
column in the newspaper Joined in ex-
alting that side and in ignoring the
other. The things that our side did
were expanded and embellished, the
things the other side did were omitted
or were ridiculed or were deliberately
misrepresented.
News gathering has become more sys-
tematized. The work is laid out with
greater care by the city editor and the
managing editor. The telephone has
saved hours of time, for news reports
are talked into the office from places
500 miles away. The staffs of special
writers and reporters ore fourfold
larger. The pay roll is eight or ten times
bigger.
Nearly all newspaper salaries have
doubled in 80 years, some have trebled.
Good newspaper writer's are in demand
at better pay than ever before. The
proportion of collegebred men on the
staffs is greater; indeed, the staffs are
made UP mostly of collegians. The
schools of journalism are beginning to
turn out very excellent men, men who
have mingled with the world, who have
enjoyed scholarly environment, men of
nimble wit and swift of foot-men who
have been taught to think.-Chester 8.

FIRE IN WATER.

Newest Idea For Making Steam and
Wasting No Heat.
Fire in the middle Of tank Of wa.
ter instead of under q boiler Ia q new
scheme in making steam for an engine.
The idea is to save heat ordinarily
wasted, for, with the fire in the mid
die Of the water, every bit Of the heat
must work TO heat the water, as there
are no side paths by which It can e..
cape.
Keeping fire blazing when practI
cally surrounded by water is q prob
lem that has been successfully solved.
Gas or oil properly mixed with air
feeds the fire. To start the fame the
tank is first emptied and the vapor
fuel forced in through pipe that ends
in a nozzle pointed downward. The
vapor is lighted, making roaring
torch flame shooting downward in the
middle Of the tank. Then the tank is
partly filed with water until the sur
face Of the water is we'll above the
nozzle, entirely covering the fame.
The vapor fuel, Of course, must be
forced in at some pressure in ORDER
to prevent the water from putting Il 9
fire out. The water Is soon boiling
violently, making steam for running
the engine. The steam, mixed with
gas from the burning fuel, is led into
a separate tank, which is sort Of
storage bin for the steam.-Saturday

strength, his sureness Of foot, his wari-

ship and hard work on little food and
with little care, have made him invalu-
able as campaigner, whether in des-

the camel and the elephant disappear
from armies. He may see the horse
vanish. He has seen the motorcycle
and the motorcar come in. He may
see the aeroplanes numbered by thou

war, but probably never war without
mules.-New York World.
