story begins with the incident OF rid

coach. 1t ends with the tri-centennial
Hudson-Fulton celebration. Between
these two points it is packed with OBJ
servations, experiences and reflections
that bear upon about every important
national event taking place in this pro-
dlgiously expanding period. Hundreds
of eminent and interesting personali-
ties meet one face to face here through
the vivid and informal portrayal of
this writer. The most of these have to
do with affairs in the United States.
Some of them are celebrities from Eng
land and the continent. The oppor-
tunities of the writer for collecting
widely diversified and generally appeal
ing facts was unexcelled. His memory
works in pictures, in groups of NOV

and narrated from the personal stand
point, the "reminiscences brim with
anecdote in which a genial humor bears
a conspicuous part. AS complement
to the history of this long and eventful
stretch of years, one cannot overesti-
mate the animating force Of the story

discussing the bill - Representative
James r. Mann Of Illinois, the minority
leader in the House Of Representa-
tives-said:
1.-THE subject of vocational education,
I think, is one of the most important
subjects before the American people
today. or. for that matter, before the
peoples of the world, but Particularly
with US. We are going to be in COM
petition with other nations, where they
do better than we do about instructing
their youth in the vocations."
Representative Dudley NJ. Hughes OF
Georgia, chairman of the House COM
mittee on education, recently told his
colleagues some Of the benefits that
would accrue when the measure be-
comes a law. He said:
1.-THE immediate problem OF vocational
education is the problem of equipping
for the successful pursuit Of some use
full trade or occupation the youths who
go to work at the rate of 100000 a
year.
"If we assume that a system of voca-
tional education pursued through years
of the past would have increased the
wage earning capacity of each of
these to the extent of 10 cents day,
this would have made an increase In
wages for this group Of $2,500,000
day, or s750,000,000 a year. with all
that this would mean to the wealth
and life of the nation.
This is a very moderate estimate,
and the facts would probably show a
difference between the earning power
of the vocationally trained and the
vocationally unframed OF 70 cents

According to one Of the authors Of the
bill, 'the United States is coming forward

done, in introducing this subject.
The enactment of this measure will con-

eral government neither supports nor ad-
ministers any systems of schools for the
children of the several states. In this
sense there is no national system of edu-
cation. The support and control Of edu-
cation are left to the people of the sew
eral states. Methods and standards go

Pamphlets and reports on educational
subjects are issued by the bureau. spe-
cial Investigations. school surveys and
suggestions for the betterment of school
conditions are made; but nothing is done
along administrative lines. When the vo-
cational education bill becomes a law
Congress will have conferred its first ex-
ecutive authority on this important

Making War by Light Waves.

E ANCTFUL and fantastic yarns OF
making war by light waves blowing
up battleships at sea and magazine and
ammunition carts on land, persistently
find their way into public print 1t may be
that there were more of these stories in
circulation before the present war than
now. In connection with alleged de-
vices for causing long-range explosions
there come to mind the once celebrated
"Ulivi rays" the invention" of a man
who. after having successfully fooled for
while, at different times. the govern
ments of France and Italy. and having
likewise attempted. though unsuccess-
fully. to hoax the British admiralty, fed
from his home in Milan with the police
on his trail.
The famous Ulivi 'F'' rays, it was an
nounced, would revolutionize warfare on
land and render the navies of the world
obsolete. By means of his mysterious
rays the inventor claimed to be able to
detonate at long distances dynamite or
other high explosives, inclosed in metal
cases, and at Florence four torpedoes
submerged in the Arno river by Admiral
Fornari. actins for the Italian govern
Ulivi operated his electrical apparatus q
dozen miles away.
1t was also reported that at Havre,
WneTe the French government tested
his alleged invention. submarine mines
were exploded under like circumstances,
and at so-called tests carried out be-
fore British admiralty officials in the
Solent three small torpedoes, that had
been previously charged with gun
cotton by Ulivi, were said by him to
have been detonated by his apparatus
at a distance of 1000 yards. Some of
the British experts declined to accept
the tests at their face value and init
mated that the torpedoes were proba-
bly, detonated by means of some chemi-
cal substance placed inside the case
prior to their submergence.
That theory, 1t was finally reported,
was the correct one and when the
Italian police raided Ulivi's laboratory
at Milan they discovered quantities of
sodium, a chemical which bursts into
flame on being brought into contact
with water. Later it was charged that
the Inventors" plan was to bore tiny
holes in the outer case of the subma-
rine bombs, which were then plugged
with cotton or wool and painted over.
1t required a certain time for
the water to soak through, but when
it did the sodium was ignited and the
explosion took place. 1t was charged
that the inventor" timed the submer-
gence of the torpedo with the turning

A TYPICAL American draft horse is
IN being developed at Ames, Iowa, by
q q the United States government. In
other words, Uncle Sam has come to the
aid of the farmers. manufacturers and
merchants who have been spending mil
lions OF dollars abroad every year to
keep up the strain OF imported draft
horses. such as Percherons and Belgians.
1t is thought that. under proper system
of breeding. a type OF gray draft horse
can be developed that will be American
in every sense of the word and thrive
under conditions in this country as no
important breed will do.
This important experiment. which
users in the United States, in the event
that it is successful. is being conducted
at the Iowa Agricultural College, under
the supervision and with the co-opera-
ton of the Department of Agriculture,
which has been conducting similar ex-
periments with view to the develop
ment of other types of animals in
various parts Of the country.
There are some twenty animals at the
Iowa experiment station. 1t has been
determined that the gray draft horse
is the best type to develop. Three of
the highest-grad draft stations have
been secured, and their progeny Is
watched very closely. and only the more
promising colts are kept, the others
being sold off.
Iowa was selected as the location for
this work because it has been proved
that the raising Of draft horses can be
best accomplished in that state and in
Illinois, owing to a general combination
of favorable conditions The draft horses
cannot be successfully developed in a
mountainous or hilly country. Further
more, this type Of horse will deterforate
rapidly in any but a temperate climate.
Experiments in raising draft horses have
proved to be complete failures in cold
climates and in the tropics.
It appears tlSt the draft horse husi-
ness in the United States has suffered
through the ignorance Of breeders and
the natural deterioration Of imported
stock. In their desire to raise equine
giants breeders have sacrificed style and
conformity Monstrosities, and not horses.

10000, and annually thereafter to be
s1.000.O00.
For the work of the federal board for
vocational education the appropriation Is
5000, 900.
The fund appropriated for salaries OF
teachers, supervisors and directors of ag-
riculture is to be prorated to the states
according to rural population. The sal
aries of teachers of industrial and trade
subjects will be prorated according to the
urban population. Funds for the training
of teachers will be prorated according to
the populations of the various states.
Before state, however, can receive
the benefits of the measure it must,
through its legislature, accept the con-
ditions of the bill. The state must create
or designate state boards with whom
the national board will deal. The state
boards are to formulate plans for the
administration of the grants in con-
formity with the provisions of the fed
eral statute. These plans. however, are
to be submitted to the federal board for
approval. For each dollar given to the
states by the government, the state
Or local community, or both, must spend
an equal amount for the same purpose,
and shall, in addition, meet all costs
of plant, equipment or maintenance, in
cluding the salaries of teachers neces-
in instruction.
Only public schools. maintained by the
public, and for the public, will be en-
titled to receive the benefits of this
measure, and in addition the schools
must be of less than college grade.
They must be designed to prepare boys
and girls over fourteen years of age
for useful and profitable employment in
agriculture, and in the trades and in
dustries. Three classes of schools are
contemplated:
First. Schools in which practically
half of the time is given to vocational
instruction.
Second. Part-time schools for young
workers over fourteen years of age,
