over the world, Great BFitain’s foreign affairs are of vital moment in the life of the nation. King Edward seems to insist upon using the power inherited from his mother in his mother’s spirit. While observing loyally the written constitution of the empire, he will reveal to the wbrld that his country has an “unwritten constitution,” which has grown around the throne. This unwritten code has been invoked whenever the dignity and security of the whole nation demanded it.

Coolness In Facing Accidents. Indignation over the terrible mining calamities which closed the year 1907 seems to have been justified by the reports of the officers engaged in investigating the causes of mine explosions. Reckless exposure of lives has been proved, although perhaps the actual shortcoming on the part of employee or employer which caused any particular accident has not been pointed out. Any one of many faulty conditions may have started or contributed to the horror. In the case of a fire calamity like that of the Boyertowu Opera House the original cause cannot be charged with responsibility for the whole lamentable history of the night. We play with edged tools and handle fire continually in our rapid way of living. Danger lies in not being prepared for the possible. Recently a large public school took fire and was emptied of pupils without accident. because the teachers and elder scholars had been trained to look for a contingency of the kind and thoroughly drilled for the exciting occasion. There was no panic. Spectators at a show are usually not in a condition for cool action. They dre excited with the pleasure of the spectacle. But there might be a number pf cool heads scattered through the bouse to watch for accidents and not be lost In the play. Being cool themselves, their calm tones would’do much to restore confidence, and It would be possible to prevent adding to the horror of the fire by trampling to death the helpless and weak, who but for the madness of the hour might escape. There is always danger in crowds, and every crowd should have monitors on duty, ready for any emergency.

The Atlantic Bridge. Last year about 3,000,000 passengers crossed the Atlantic, between European and American ports chiefly. This was an increase of 1,000,000 over 190G, which was the record year up to that date. With this stream of humauity constantly increasing and ever in motion between the shores, the time of passage less than five days and a three day ship in sight, the Atlantic ocean is bridged to ail Intents and purposes. The rate of speed already attained'beats that made by a roadster and equals that of the average railway passenger train when long distance trips are made. And the owners of this bridge will work to maintain and improve Its capacity. It is not probable that steamship owners are more alarmed over the possible rivalry of the airship than the cable men are about wireless competition. There is now enough competition right in the field to keep alive the spirit of progress. At the present rate of progress an ocean liner becomes obsolete in ten years. Speed is not the only requisite for-the ship which forms a link in the modern Atlantic brivige of boats. Comfort and the safety of the passengers are more Important than they were In the old days. People traveling upon urgent business will put up with a good deal. Yoyagers for t pleasure demand pleasure all along the line. It has come to pass that any one who has the price may depend upon a swift and comfortable passage between the new world and the old. The bridge is never closed for repairs. *

When Edwin M. Stanton was secretary of war nobody had any influence with him. Maybe that is the reason) why a monument to Lincoln’s war secretary has been so long delayed. It's getting so that If you want an old fashioned winter from start to finish to add to your collection of experiences you’ll have to look in the an-

tique shops for one.

A King’s Big Job.

It is said that King Edward of England wishes to have It understood that he is no mere figurehead, bat a real king on the throne. Recently a sensation was created by the publication of the letters of the la^e Queen Victoria, and it is found that these letters have been purposely arranged so as to show the great influence of the throne In guiding the foreign relations of the British empire for the past fifty years. England lives under a constitution, and the people look to parliament on domestic questions. But with her
