CHIMNEY OF UNIQUE DESIGN
Wales Has the Tallelt in Existence,
and One Of Mos, Remarkable
CONSTRUCTION,

The tallest chimney in the world
is in Wales, and is over two miles
in length, and has a further distlne-
ton in that it has q brook running
through it. 1t was bnilt by a smelt-
ing company after the ~neighbors Tor
miles around the plant had com
planned that unless something was
done to alter the drift Of copper
smoke that destroyed vegetation and
rotted the hoofs Of farm animals,
hat they would Jake the plant apart
brick by brick.
A famous engineer was called IN,
and after inspection Of the plant.
began a chimney that extended from
the roof Of the plant up a mountain
side Just back Of the works. The
chimney, in addition to crawling the
two miles up the mountain, extends
100 feet up IN the air. The brock
vas allowed to flow almost the en-
tire length Of the chimney, as it was
found the running water would cor
dense the smoke to a great extent
Once a year the chimney is swept,
and a ton Of precipitated copper IS
reclaimed. The tip Of the smoking
chimney can be seen for 40 or so
miles on a clear day.

iicient to show the danger and
the impossibility of their pro-
posal. If it could be carried out,
it would not only cause immense
financial loss, but would injure
the public health and diminish
exercise and harmless pleasure.
The trouble with these purists
is that they want to make every
body conform to their ideas Of
Sunday observance. They never
think of the millions of people,
the majority who have to work
five and a half OF six days a
week. This campaign for Fed
eral restrictions is accompanied
with another for lessening or
abolishing public Sunday amuse-
ments or exercises, outdoors
and in. The workingman and
the hired man can spend their
day of rest at home. The mo-
notony of their labor mustn't be
relieved. Everybody's Sunday
must be after the pattern Of,
say, Westerville, Ohio. Now, #
any persons or religious denom-
nations want Sunday kept in
a particular way, it is the priv
ilege so to keep it. Churches can
enforce discipline upon their
communicates. BY precept and
example they can recommend
their theories and practices up
on their neighbors. The moment
they seek the aid of the law to
thrust upon the great body Of
citizens a code Of Sunday OBJ
servance against which it re-
bells they are trying to exercise
tyranny over other mems con-
science. They are unconsciously
creating prejudice against a
morality that seems p%ragmatical
to their opponents, and even a.
gainst religion itself. DR.. Man

of our Puritan ancestors in re-

Some one hundred and thirty
years ago President Washing

stopped and questioned by a
Connecticut tithing man. Hun

land boys and girls have never
forgotten the prison dullness of
these intolerable Sunday hours,
Many of them can recall them
still with horror. A more ra-

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE

Having prohibited or tried to
prohibit one habit seven days
in the week, the "reformers" in
large measure, apparently the
same "reformers," are seeking
to interfere with or prescribe
the Sunday habits of the Amer
lean people. Onet would think
that the success of liquor prohi-
bition is not so ample or splen-
did as to make it safe for the
weIl-intentioned censors and reg
ulators of public morals and GUS
toms to venture upon new re-
strictions. The psychological eff
feet of war has hitherto been
supposed to be toward a liberatl-
ity or laxity Of morals. In our
happier country the reverse is
the case. An organized and we'll
financed effort to set back the
clock of time and secure a severe
observance of Sunday, the "Sab-
bath as its advocates prefer
to call it, is to be made. A high
ly industrial and populous COM
munity is to be forced into fet-
tiers found CALLING and shaken
off by a far simpler and less de-
veloped civilization.

ready sure, no doubt, Of a GER
tain number of docile and card
index legislators at Washington,
will press upon Congress the
passage of a law f~orbidding the
operation of interstate trains on
Sunday, the opening of any Post
Office or the delivery of any
mail, and the transaction Of any
business by any person or cor
poration engaged in interstate
commerce ON that day. The pur-
nose Of the proposed law is de-
