Snow: a Cold Fact.

At a certain New England railway
town the huge warehouse by the sta
ton slipped its roof burden of snow
down on the tracks one February day.
The south-bound passenger train came
up and stalled; so did the north
bound; so did the through freight.
The conductors decided to wire st.
Adams, 100 miles away, for the spe-
cial maintenance train and crew to
open the tracks. Delay, expense and
overtime were all looming large when
along came stray local freight driv-
en- by q grizzled old engineer who had
small reverence for technicalitieS
ooh, come on, boys, we want to get
home!" and he grabbed a fireman's
shovel and led the gang at it. In ten
minutes the tracks were cleared for
passage and in ten more the trains
were out of sight.
The moral is that our grandfathers
used to talk of driving the wagon
around the farm to turn it, while we
talk of specialists operating under
strictly defined rules and with appro-
priately limited responsibilities. Re-
suits are often the same. The idea of
work is to get things done.-Collier's
Weekly.

To ExpIore Earth's Interior,

Our knowledge of the earth from
actual contact is confined to thin
layer of only few hundred feet, and
what exists deeper down is a subject
for speculation. The idea of exploring
further by bore-hole some ten times
as deep as any yet attempted was
again brought up in the late presi-
Dental address of Hon. Sir Charles
A. Parsons to the British association.
He proposed in 1904 the sinking of
such a shaft TO depth of II miles,
and estimated that it would require
eighty-five years of time and cost $25,-
000000-an outlay about equal to that
for one frSt-class battleship. Since
then Prof T. u. Adams has concluded
that a depth of Is miles could be
reached in limestone before the rock
would give trouble by being crushed,
and in granite about 30 miles could be
reached. Such shaft might throw
much light on the earth's internal con-
stitution-especially as related to very
heavy minerals. In Italy, bore-holes
sunk to moderate depths in a volcan-
ic district discharge great volumes
of high pressure steam, and this is be-
ing utilized to generate about 10000
horsepower by turbines.

Steel Pipe Industry.

Very few persons realize the varied
applications of the prosaic steel or
iron pipe. 1t has been used for many
years as a conduit for water, sewage,
steam or gas, but at the present time
pipe enters into the construction of
such varied products as agricultural
implements, automobiles, architecture
nj ironwork and grill work, building
columns, refrigerating machinery, dry
kiln apparatus, elevator cars, wheel
barrows, work benches, ornamental
gates, elevator grain spouts. safety
ladders, warship masts, lighting and
high-tension poles, electric wiring, rail-
way signal apparatus, sprinkler sys-
TENS and signal towers.
AS the variety of uses for tubular
products increased and the cost of maxi
ing steel diminished, there has been a
change also in material. Fifty years
ago nearly all the screw-joint pipe was
made OF wrought iron.

LATE DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE
PEACE BULLETINS

Under the spur of the cloture rule
a dominant majority, supported at
one time by no less than thirteen
Democratic votes, rode rough shod
over the administration forces and
put through virtually the entire pro-
gram framed by the committee on for
eign relations to apply to American
institutions under the league of ma
lions and hold the United States aloof
from foreign controversies.
Whether there will be a prolonged
fight over the resolution of ratitica-
ton which will be drafted by the for
eign relations committee and reported
to the senate after all the reserva-
tons have been disposed of remains
for President Wilson to decide.
Without the backing of the United
States, European nations who were
unable to defeat Germany until this
country got into the war would be
unable to bind her to the treaty, it is
believed, and it would be useless as
an instrument to prevent future world
wars
At least thirty Democrats are ex-
pected to vote against ratification with
the Lodge reservations and from tif-
teen to eighteen "irreconcilables' are
counted against ratification under any
circumstances.
The Italian government officially
raised the blockade.
The senate adopted the committee
reservation to Article Y Of the peace
treaty by a vote of 46 TO SO. The
reservation is virtually the same as
that which President Wilson denOunc-
ed as cutting the heart out of the
treaty and meaning the rejection of
the treaty. Following the vote the
Republicans filed petition for clo-
ture on the debate.
Peace conference received informa-
ton from Sofia that the Bulgarian
government decided to accept and sign

LED IN "ART Preventative"
Conclusive Proof That the Koreans
Were the First to Perceive value
of Movable Type.

Fifty pieces of movable type bear
ing the Chinese characters, being part
of the first font of movable type ever
made. were shown in the last week III
tie Museum of Natural History, IN
New York. England has the other mar
of the font. which was cast in Seoul
Korea, in 1903. some years before the
discoveries of Forster, Gutenberg ana
the other early typemakers in Europe.
1t seems, thus, that to the Koreans De-
longs the distinction of having invent
ed and first produced separate type
characters in metal.
Each type is cylindrically concave
on the under side, in order to make 1t
cling more firmly to the bed of bees
wax which constituted the form.
When the type had been firmly and
evenly embedded in the wax the print
or. sitting cross-legged before the form,
covered the type with ink applied with
a soft brush. Then the paper was laid
lightly on the form and a piece of felt
was brushed gently over the paper
with one hand. after which the other
removed the printed page. 1t was pos
sible to strike off as many as LOU
Impressions a day in this way.
Thrown aside as useless, the font
lay as rubbish on the floor of the gov
eminent printing Office at Seoul during
the Japanese invasion of 1592-97, and
so lay unnoticed and escaped being
carried off into Japan. Later, how
ever, the types were collected and the
font again made up and used for
printing.
Although this font was the first to
be made of movable metal type, Var1-
Gus methods of printing had already
been in vogue for centuries. DR.. Ber-
thold Laufer, anthropologist and ori-
entalist, has recently drawn up an ex-
cellent reference summary of the I'M
portant dates in the history of priting.
AS early as IT'S A. D. texts of the chi
nese classics were engraved on stone
tablets, and impressions were taken
on paper by rubbing. In SOB classical
books were printed by means of wood
en- blocks, block-printing on smaller
scale having already been practiced.
In 764 JapNn adopted block-printing,
and in the tenth century there were
discovered in Fayoum, Egypt, block
printed books in Arabic.
