the slope Of the valley, the song Of the
birds, the sunsets, cannot be shut up
within the title deed; they belong to
the eye that can carry them away, the
mind that can appreciate them.
This ability to gather enjoyment
from all sorts Of sources is a divine
gift. 1t broadens the life, deepens the
experience and enriches the whole ma
ture. 1t is a great force in s~elf-cul-
ture.
The secret of happiness is in a cheer
full, contented mind. HE is poor who
is dissatisfied; he is rich who is con-
tented with what he has" and can en-
joy what others own.
Some people are so mean and stingy,
so uncharitable and narrow, so big
oted and suspicious, that they
open their natures wide enough to
take in the riches all about them, the
beauty with which they come in con-
tact. They are so Jealous and envious
and small, that they are afraid to
throw open the doors Of their hearts.
The result is, their lives are pinched
and starved. A person must be mag
unanimous and large-hearted, to be able
to absorb the wealth and beauty that
are worth while.
l know a poor man who really en-
joyed more than any rich man l know
Of, simply because early in life he
learned to enjoy things without own
ing them to such an extent that he
seemed to have the slightest
envy or jealousy in connection with
the property Of others, but rather
showed gratitude to those who owned
them. He was such a sweet soul that
all doors were open to him, because
he radiated sunshine and good cheer.
1t does not matter how poor or how
unfortunate you are, you a enjoy,
without the trouble of owning or car
ing for them, millions and millions Of
dollars worth Of works Of art, and
things of rarest beauty, almost as well
as though they were your own. Think
what it costs to maintain our great
city parks, with all their wonders OF
beauty and comfort, the p~alatial pub
lie buildings, the fine residences, beau
tiful private grounds and gardens and
objects of beauty everywhere which
you can enjoy without money-and yet
you may say you own nothing. He
has missed the finest lesson of expert
ence who has not learned how to en-
joy without owning.

ENJOYING WHAT OTHERS WIN

TN his Citizen of the World" Gold
smith describes a mandarin who APP
n peared in a blaze of diamonds, and
who was very ostentatiously thanked
-pyJa person in the crowd. What does
the man mean?" the mandarin ex-
claimed. Friend, I never gave thee
any of my Jewels" NO" replied the
stranger, but you have let me look at
them, and that is all the use you can
make of them yourself; SO there is no
difference between us, except that you
have the trouble OF watching them.
and that is an enjoyment l do no de-
sire"
The habit Of feeling rich because
you have developed the faculty of ex-
tracing wealth from everything you
touch is riches, indeed. Why should
we not feel rich in all that our eyes
can carry away. no matter If others
happen to have the title deed? Why
should l not enjoy the beautiful gar
dens of the wealthy and their grounds,
Just as II l owned them? AS l pass
by l can make my own the wealth of
color. The beauty OF plants and lawn
and flowers and trees are all mine.

beauty OF the brook and the meadow,

ADVANCE IN CITY LIGHTING
Hanging Arc Lamps so Installed That
They Add to Instead of Distract
ing From Appearance.

Many Of the old installations of
hanging arc lamps are even uglier
thar the incandescents. The old arcs
are usually suspended above the street
on a tangle of wires and cables where
they glare and sputter the long night
through. But modern engineering and
modern love of the beautiful, as well
as the utility Of a lighting system,
have changed all this. The new sys-
tens of arc lighting are nothing like
the old. The lamps are not hung above
the street but crown the tops of orna-
mental standards placed alternately
up and down the street. There are no
hanging wires in sight, nc sharp
points of light to dazzle the eyes, no
flicker and sputter. Instead Of sharp,
penetrating rays of blush light the
new luminous arc lamps give a flood
of soft, white light which is many
times more efficient and more econom-
ical than the light from the old lamps.
The wire and cables are all under
ground, where they are safe and do
not mar the natural beauty of the
street. Shade trees do not have to be
cut down or trimmed until they die.

10 HELPS
HARD TO MAKE OVER CITY
Experiences Of Centuries Old Towns
Should Be Lesson to the
Builders Of Today.

The most hurried traveller along the
tourist routes of Europe allows him
self time to tote with a smile that
the gates which we're once the YER
table entrance through the walls into
the city are now in the very heart Of
the city's bustling life.
Who does not know "Lud Gate in
London, now Ludgate Hill? Lud is
the name of a mythical king of Brit
ain.
The legend has it that this Lud laid
the foundation of London. Shakes
peare preserves his memory in Gym
beline:" And on the gates of Luds
town set your heads This strong
gate in the western part of the city
is far enough removed from the west
and is one of the busiest streets in
the world.
Bishopsgate-the bishop gate; Aid
gate-the old gate; Newgate-the new
gate, all tell the same story. The
gates" are found In the innermost
recesses of the city. The real en-
frances to the city are many miles
away.
And what a biggledy-pigglsdy bust
ness it is! Boxes Of brick and stone,
in b~ewildering squares and parallel
ograms and shapeless shapes Of every
fashion, stretch away into dim dis
lance, to struggle, to jostle, or to de-
cay, as fate or fortune wills. There
is not a city of any age in all Europe,
now touched by the progressive spirit,
which has not been for the last 30
years or will not be for the next 80
engaged in the titanic task Of widen
ing its old streets and constructing
new ones.
But at what cost must the men and
women of an unwalled and ungated
city today make the place OF their
habitation habitable!

Hints on Concrete Road Building.

Sprinkling the wearing surface OF
concrete roads during the construction
period must be practically continuous
on hot days unless there is some mois-
ture-retaining medium present, Recent
observations of a number of pieces Of
road construction, on which contract
ors new to the work were engaged,
indicate that the inspector is having
his hands full in getting the 'wetting-
down specifications properly adhered
to. Where earth is available a gener-
Gus layer thrown on makes an excel
lent cover and holds water well. Some
careful road builders in the West, rec
ognizing the value of curing concrete
under water, have made earth dams
along the edges of concrete roads and
divided the road l~ongitudinally into a
series of pools.-Engineering Record.

Hiram states that while

he is not going to rest at

he will shortly produce a

echo of the blast sent out.
This will eliminate all
noises due to the ship and

SEES THE WORLD IN WANT
English Scientist Asserts That starva-

Human Race.

Sir William Crooke, the eminent
English scientist, says we will starve
to death, not in 100000 years. but
26 years from now, in 1910. In sup
port of this astonishing statement he
advances many facts and figures,
which are corroborated by some OF
our most notable American scientists.

Crooke says in substance thst the ter
ritory in the world available for
profitable cultivation is, with insig-
nifcant exceptions, already occupied
and that the increase in the produc-
ton of cereals is not keeping pace
with the increase in population.
1t was in 1898 that Sir William
Crooke sounded the first note of alarm
as to the possibility of nourishing the
prospective millions Of America and
Europe in the coming years. He
based his calculations chiefly on the
limited area of land suitable for profit

Crooke's prophetic prediction looms
on the horizon of the country with
startling distinctness. He estimated
that the bread eaters in the world in

they were increasing at the rate OF

mum number of acres possible in the
world for the growth of wheat, the
