The affair wiil be distinetly American. Neverthiioss it will have significance for “the entire world . The discoveryd of the Hudeon led sitimately (o the de velopment of & region that has become oné of the most important on the globe, and Fulton's experiment marked the beginning of the era of steam navigation, of which the mighty navy of Great Britain, part of which will be present at the commemoration, 18 an-outgrowth. Ships of other na tions also will be on hand, and one of the greatest features of the pageantry will be the dispiey of gteam vessels indicating the growth in that direc tion since the Clermont made her epochal trip. ; : - " The test of Hiram Percy Maxim's noiseless cannon of large bore is to be made at Hartford, Conn. where he is at the present time. In Oectober he will go to Europe for the purpose of demonstrating bis fovention. Mr Maxim’s patents for noiseless weapons protects him in Japan as well as In the countries of Europe. Invention of death deallng devices, however, continues active there as well as here. From Berlin comes reports of the application of principles of wireless telegraphy to the setting off of mines. An electric wave, transmitted from the operating point, produces a spark in the apparatus connected with the mine. Both army and electrical experts declare that the invention will revolutionize modern warfare,

The government bulletin reports the

average condition of cotton at 63.7 per cent. of normal, and on this basis the total output will be about 10,250, 000 bales, whereas the yield last year was 13,800,000 bales.. The world’s consumption of cotton isB placed at 13$OO,OOO bales annually. These figures canvey their own comment as to how closely the supply will approximate the demand: Certainly there seems to be no need of restricting cotton growing next year in order to avert the accumulation of an embarrassing surplus. : .

The Flusser is a fiyer. The Flusser is a little torpedo boat just built for Uncle Sam’'s navy, and in the standardization trial made 33.7 knots an hour, which is three knots better than any other American warship has done. The Flusser must be about as speedy as the torpedoes themselves.

The reported uprising of the Semifnole Indians is proved baseless. The “Seminole Defiance” remains as a fact mérely between the covers of the popular readers and recitation manuals.

Perhaps the war talk in Turkey is the familiar expedient by which-a government seeks to strengthen itself at home by raising a fury abroad. It is not likely that there will be war between Turkey and Greece. The rest of Europe does not desire so ticklish a situation. ' :

England may be outdone by the United States in many things, but there is something impressive about the fact that not one passenger on an English railway was killed during 1908,

A Queen May Look at a Man.

There is an old story loug current in his home city, Brooklyn, about the late Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, which illustrates how a son is to his mother the most important being in the world. In Dr. Cuyler's case, one could not justly question his ability and usefulness. Besides being a successful pastor, he was the author of many religious books which were read here and abroad, as well as a frequent contributor to certain magazines. When he was in England, he and his mother corresponded regularly, and at great length, so the tradition goes. . v ;

One day a letter came in which he described his presentation to Queen Victoria. Mrs. Cuyler read it with eagerness, hardly able to wait till she had finished oefore telling some one what had happened. When she at last got through the letter, she hastened to a neighbor's house and announced: “T've just got a letter from England, and. do you know, the queen has seen Theodore."—Youth's Companion,
