EGYPT AS A FIELD OF TRADE.

im The chemist, the inventor and practical dairyman have worked In hand during the past twent; ars to inipove and expand the dairy industry. The person wbo remembers the old-time creamery, and then compares It with the up-to-date creamery of today, realizes how broad and solid is the foundation upon which this industry rests Its present handsome proportions. Most Bmotipol l&siga? feg Its jgfoss&toEk r So many celebrities were concerned In tlie planning, erec-tion and adornment of. the . Congressional Library, that a list of them would embrace about all the sreat ones in the world of art and architecture. With due regard to a rery few structures which cost more, the Library is ranked as the most beautiful public building in America, and one of the most magniflcent in the world. From first to last. It had the most assiduous care of its projectors, and constant watchfulness made graft that practice of diverting the public money to private ends so noticeable In tome other undertakings of similar character Impossible ; so that the money appropriated went to exactly the uses Intended. There are other buildings of more general Importance In Washington. The Capitol, of course, ranks first, and the Treasury and State, War and Xayy buildings follow closely; but however It Is exceeded In euch affairs as pertain to the business of the government, even the Capitol cannot approach the Library In Interior beauty. 'Che Congressional Library represents an outlay of $7,000,000. It covery an irea of three and one-hal! acres, or about the same as the ground area of the CapItoL It Is 470x340 feet In dimensions and has four large Inner courts averaging 150x100 feet The Library is situated squarely In front of the Capitol, and is separated from It by beautiful lawns and driveways. It covers the site of seventy residences which were bought In the late SO'a at cost of about $000,000. The foundations were begun in 1&S9, and the building was completed In 1S07. The structure Is of the Italian Renaissance order of architecture, has three stories and dome. The latter is finished In black copper, with panels covered with a thick coating of gold leaf. The burning torch cf Science, with which the dome Is capped, reaches a height of 103 feet above ground. The onlr Jarring note in the whole structure is caused by the low elevation of the torch, as compared with the towering SOT feet of the statue of Armed Freedom on the dome of the Capitol Just across the way. One Is likely to call the Library "squatty" when comparing the two buildings, but this feeling is lost immediately on entrance to the wonders of the main stair hall. The lofty ceiling Is arched and groin ed so gracefully and artistically and the , general effect Is so harmonious, that the visitor almost invariably loses sight of tiie magnificence of the ornamentation in admiration of the apartment as & whole; that is at first Seated on one of the numerous sottees, but a short time ensues ere color and decorative schemes begin to formu late, and then the full magnificence of the majestic hall bursts upon one with dazzling effect It is possible that in the wonderful structures of India the TiJ Mahal, for example there are rooms more beautiful. How they could be so, however, the Imagination cannot conceive. The columns, and stairways, and bal ustrades, and arches, are all made of the purest of white marble, highly pol lshed and inlaid with stones in myriad colorings. At the sides rise lofty round ed columns w.th elegantly carved Cor lntman capitals ana tne arcnes are picked out in maible rosettes, palm leaves and foliated designs of the most exquisite finish. The skylight is seven ty-two feet above the floor. There could be nothing richer or more magnificent than the stairways, with their festoons of fruits and flowers and the turnpo3ts surmounted by two great bronze figures bearing standards for electric lights. The staircases are also ornamented with twenty-six marble figures by Martiny, representing the arts and sciences and carved In bold relief. A master of language has described this stair hall as a poem In polished stone, and It is by all odds the finest marble interior In America. The Congressional Library had Its Inception In 1800, when Congress appropriated $3,000 for It From that small beginning, the Library has grown until It now contains more than a million books. Every copyrighted work is represented, the law requiring the deposit of two copies of each publication copyrighted. A number of special, priceless dlectlons ar here.

It enables the buttermaker to control the temperature of his butter during the moulting of It, first by greatly hastening the process, and secondly, by preventing exposure of the butter to the unfavorable temperature, conditions that so commonly exist in many make-rooms, and to which It was exposed on the old-style open worker.

Has any one except a true-born Lon doner ever observed the humor nnd fun which He In great masses am ing the people of London? W. W. J bs In modern days bas depicted some of this in special particulars. Dickem,' above ill writers, most faithfully, portrayed many phases of It Thackeray has dealt with It In a manner not likely to be repeated. But all three authors do not collectively make up the mass of London humor. It is everywhere. It peeps out with drivers of public reticles who use their horses as friends from whom to draw inspiration for their sallies of humor, and one wonders what will become of all this wnn tha horseless vehicle Is the universal mode of vehicular traction. Surely the man who turns a handle Is not the same as the man who hoJd3 the reins and can not et out of electricity and petroleum what has been got out of the pulsations of horses. It comes to us from the railway porters and servants who keep at bay the troublesome multitude by deftly turning into broad farce events, which begin seriously. It comes, top, from hotel and restaurant waiters, who see enough of the grim humors of life to become an almost endless source of inspiration. But It Is also apparent on the surface. Butcher boy and baker boy and shop boy are full of It They carry their goods along In happy Ignor ance of the sport they give to those who can note the humorous in life. And the costermonger and Itinerant dealer. to be met with almost everywhere, are special products of London who can not fall to attract One does not quite meet the counter parts of these people in Paris. Those who take their place are not so distinctive and partake more of the char acteristics of the average Parisian. They send out. therefore, to the ob server only what the average Parisian senas out ana do not stand apart as types of what the city can do In the way of carrying on tbv humors of the time.

The test is now in constant use with all advanced dairymen. They use it freely as a guide for dividing the proceeds of the factory, for testing the by products with a view to reducing losses to the minimum, for aiding In the detection of adulterations, and for testing the individual cows In the herd. It furnishes a ready means for determining the per cent of fat In milk and Its products and by-products. Before Its Intr duetlon the farmer had to churn the cream from the milk of each cow to determine her true value for dairy purposes, and the manufacturer of dairy products groped largely in the dark as regarded the milk and cream he handled, and gu-issed at the losses In by-products. The physicist supplied the lactometer for determining the specific gravity of milk, and this acted as a companion to the test to enable the dairyman to readily determine the solids of milk, and to detect the nature and extent of adulterations. The acidlmeter, or "alkali test," is most valuture it had been plucked. The hair of the human specimen sprouts from a tiny pit formed in the skin. Its socalled root is really a greasy bulb, occupying the cavity referred to, like an egg-shaped ball of fat from which arises a tube with a sharp and welldefined shell, as it were, terminating at Its utmost extrendty In a point This tube is filled for the greater part of its length with a pulpy matter, which may be compared with pith In plant stalks, although, scientifically regarded. It 13 of a totally different nature. The varied color of hair is due to interior deposits In the form of invisible grains of pigment, or natural paint' and It Is through the loss of this matter that hair becomes gray, in which case the hair may be likened to . a se.nl-trans-parent, glassy tube. A very marvelous circumstance In connection with human hair lies in the fact that Its outer surface Is not smooth, as generally enpposeJ It Is actually completely covered with incredibly minute scales In a similar manner to the wing of butterflies and the bodies of fishes that U to say, these invisible slabs overlie one an other precisely as do the tiles of a house. This statement may be veri fied readily by detaching a hair from lady's head by preference and while holding the opposite ends in both hands, so that it becomes stretched and taut, dragging it across the tender sur face of one's Hps. When drawn la the direction In which the scales lie the hair feels quite smooth; but If moved in the opposite direction a distinctly noticeable rasping Is felt as the edges of the scales hitch against the flesh.

THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.

nrwei it iiina.ii iiiiimai i

It Is now seventeen year? since the great Johnstown flood occurred, a disaster th.'.t will never be, forguiteu In history on account of its rapidity, its horrors and the great loss of life. Johnstown lies In a narrow valley at the foot of the Allegheny Mountains, between Coaemaugh Itlver nnd Stony Creek, with a precipitous hill on one side and a gentle slope on the other. In 1SS0 it had a population of 30,000 souls, and was the busy, thriving principal point between Philadelphia nnd Pittsburg. For a week previous to the tragic day of the downfall there had been heavy rains, and the mountain streams were muddy and full. The whole face of nature back of the town presented a change to Its usual aspect and May 31 the waters' bulked where South Fork Lake and the dam connected, and, tearing away the stone coping, gave the first token of danger. Three horsemen started wildly down the valley to arouso the people and tell them of Impending peril. Half a dozen houses were swept away, and then the flood burst wpon Johnstown.. Hotels, gas and water plants, banks, residence, were all swMlowed up by the devastating flood. In one borough, out of GOO houses only ISO were left standing. The loss In money value was many millions; the loss of life over 3,000. When the flood was past, a terrihlo chaos of wreckage dotted the valley to Its furthest extent Charity and enterprise, however, soon evolved the beginning of a risen city from the old, and on Monday, June S, 1SS0, Johnstown began its first new bulldimj. . - .

Then there is the culture ot "starter," to aid In controlling the flavor of inilli in cheese-making, the use of the pasteurizer, the "fermentation test," and other aids in expert dairying. The pasteurizer controls the heating of the milk or cream to a sufficiently 'high temperature to kill practically all the germ life present in It. Afterwards the cream Is seeded with desirable forms of germ life, to take control of it, and through their growth and development produce the required flavor In the cream and its product All these Improvements have . led tc real and substantial advancement In dairying during recent years, and the industry is constantly reaching a highly scientific basis.

"As regards cost of operating, tin! most Intelligent svay to explain thH Item is to draw comparisons with monthly costs of operating with coal and gas. The writer has had ten years experience with kitchen range, with coal at $G.50 per ton on the average; also six years' experience with gas at $1.20 per thousand. Our gas bills would average about $3 pir month. We used the coal range Monday and Tuesday for washing and ironiug, and burned a little less than a half-ton of coal a month, at a cost of about $3. The average monthly cost of operating was therefore about $0 for kitchen coal and gas, with an additional cost for carting away ashes. "Many readers will be surprised to learn that my average monthly cost for electricity for two years has been $G.C9 a month, or only 10 per cent highr than coal or gas. There are no ashes to cart away, no fires to build, and the electric system offers a neat, clean, healthy kitchen." in 1920.

Political diiiiiiiniiiiga Looking: Backward and Forward. There are millions of citizens who remember vividly the events of fifty years ago, when the Republican party was born. Tiouble was in the air. A cloud much larger than a man's hand was growing along the horizon. Civil strife carried to its last arbitrament was feared, and yet the hope was general that It would be averted. The most tggresslve element was In the South, and a later generation can not realize tLe cool audacity and taunting words with which it pushed a fixed purpose. Yet the great majority of the people believed that some settlement could be reached short of war. The basis of the Republican party was nationality. Its mission was to save the union of States, to preserve the country whose founders certainly Intended that it should be a nation, and not a conditional arrangement that might resolve Itself Into several nations. In spite of the old charge of sectionalism, the Republican party is the least sectional, the most national, organization the country has ever known. It directed the war to prevent national division. Its policies have been national. Only where sectional excluslveness and prejudice prevail Is It shut out Let the national spirit enter HIS SEMICENTENNIAL Chicago Chronicle. such places, and Republican ideas must at once.be predominant The first targe eiperoence of the Republican party was defeat In a national election. It was a contest marked by Immense vigor and spirit In a young party, but the scale was turned in favor of the Democrats . by a tew Northern States that, at a later ieriod, added their strength to the new political force. A few mouths sufliced to show that Republicanism was marching on and the sentiment of Southern defiance Increased In even greater proportion. At last the flag of the United States was fired on and hauled down at the demand of an enemy. It Is needless to describe the tidal wave of wrath that swept over the loyal States. The sense of nationality had been rudely assailed and overborne, Jie flag humbled, and tho property of the country seized. A like provocation to-day would cause a similar thrill of overiHJwering feeling and demand for vindication. Upon the Republican party fell the duty of piloting the government In Its struggle for nationality. It fought rebellious sectionalism In the States to its downfall on the field of battle, and by Its principles has ever been true to the cause of the Union, one and Indivisible. As an Incident of the war for the Union slavery wag swept away. It has since been abolished by all civilized nations. What the United States has become as a national entity can be seen by a glance at the map stretching nearly half way around the earth, and at the fsuramarles of the commerce and wealth of the leading countries. Under Republican guidance the nation was first made the chief united American power, and then a world power. Its national achievements Include the homestead law, the protection of American Industries, the transcontinental railroads, expansion, a sound currency, the best credit and many other features of wise development that the people enjoy In common, and which form the groundwork of their great destiny. The Republican party Is In the first stage of Its career. It sprang Into existence lecause the conscience of the people was aroused. It represents their conscience now, and will live as long as it is faithful to Its origin. Other parties may have conscience, but some have only appetite. St Louis Globe-Demo-:rat Democratic Dosses Will Fall. The Democratic bosses are bragging that they will elect enough Democratic Congressmen this fall to gain a majority In the House of Representatives. Strenuous efforts, It Is said, will be made along that line. But. as In the past the Democratic managers fail to $!ve the people credit for the keen intelligence and insight into conditions, which they possess. The people are loyally with Roosevelt In his many legislative suggestions. They will not hamper him In his plans. Tlwy know that the Democrats In Congress, for political reasons, oppose him and his recommendations. They know that the President has no more loyal, faithful and able friends, when It comes to getting things done for the people, than the Republican members of Congress. They know that Roosevelt needs these men, so that he and they may best serve the country's Interests. Despite tho plans and. Etandates of political bosses, when the votes are counted, It will be f onnd that the people trust Theodore Roosevelt and that they will have s?nt to help him a good working majority of Republican Congressmen. Mistake Xolne fur Xnmbers. The Democrats who hope to divide the Republican party on the question of the tariff, however, will be disillusioned, and not for the first time. There have always been a few tariff reformers and free-traders who have clung to the Republican party. Like the frogs

ACongrre that IIa Done Something: The session of the American Congress just ended will be notable for the large amount of really Important legislation enacted, dealing with vast and complex problems of the day In a constructive spirit It is a record on which the Republican party may appeal to the country with confidence, because It Is a record in whose final outcome In legislation all thinking Americans feel satisfaction. The most satisfactory feature of this record to typical Americans is not so much what was ddne as the way In BIRTHDAY DINNER. which, after much preliminary tribulation, It was done the bedrock which was revealed In the American Congress of common-sense statesmanship. The two leading measures of the sesslou were brought before Congress in spectacular ways which might well have provoked revolt . The' railway rate bill came as a demand for more and even revolutionary laws on the heels of a manifest refusal to enforce existing laWa of the same kind against a flagraut offender. The meat Inspection bill came as a part of an avowedly destructive campaign against a great national Industry. Yet first the Senate and then the House refused to fall Into either cynical Indifference or Justifiable though Impotent rage because of the methods by which these measures were brought forward. First one and then the other was considered with respect to the actual evils to be cured and their pactlcal remedies, and without regard to the extravagances of their presentation. In this way Verdicts of practical statesmanship were reached. The session of Congress just closed has In the end and result well represented the sobriety, sanity, fairness of mind, and common sense of the American people, and of the record so made they have every reason to be proud. Chicago Inter Ocean. A ait of History. The proposition of Congressman Davidson to have hearings on the tariff to test public sentiment and encourage action is so old a subterfuge as to be quite threadbare. It was tried In President Arthur's day, and a tariff commission that wanted to uphold high protection was forced to recommend substantial reductions, and Arthur advocated reductions. He was punished by being beaten for the nomination, and the McKinley and Dingley tariff bills, since passed, have each put the tariff up higher. Every Republican in Washington knows these facts, but most of them, like Mr. Davidson, prefer not to understand them. Milwaukee Journal (Dom.). Want Xc Change.

Foreign Capital Slowly Invading Bible Land with Good Results. Egypt the ancient land of Biblical story, is just now offering to the world of trade a field for exploitation wtrtch presents ' many favorable features for the , exporters of other nations. In many things she is no less conservative to-day than she was In the days when Jacob had to send his sous to her to buy corn during a famine in Palestine. "If you want my produce," says the modern Egyptian, 'coine here and purchase It; if jou want me to buy yours bring it to my house and I will examine It." He buys and sells on the old conservative lines, but to the energetic exporter he gives promise of becoming an important trade factor if he Is approached in the proper way and "worked" skillfully. Egypt always has , been and still is a purely agricultural country. Her produce is required by all Other countries and the Egyptian cultivator Is well aware of that, fact Just as ia the ancient days under the guidance of Joseph he made the first, corner in the world's corn, so at the present time he makes a corner on his own 'individual account. At the present time the Egyptian cotton raiser is literally sitting uion his bales and holding out for higher prices. He can a'Jford to wait but the Intending purchaser cannot and the Egyptian knows It Foreign capital has been slow In making an Invasion of Egypt but now It Is there In large quantities, and under Its Influence trade Is advancing In bounding leaps. Before the British occupation there were, exclusive of the Suez Canal Company and " two banks not primarily established In Egypt only twelve companies tIn which foreign capital was invested. Their combined capital cannot be ascertained, but It was not extremely large. From 1SS2 to 1S87 nine commercial companies, with a combined capital of $5,000,000, were formed. Between 1SS9 and 1SD1 three more were floated, with a combined capital of $3,000,000, and in the next four years the number was swelled to thirteen new companies, with a total capital of $30.000,000. After the battle of Atbara in 1893 foreign capital began to see the advantages of the Egyptian field and flowed Into it with a rush. European manufacturers followed the

stream of gold and to-day the trade of Egypt has become a prize well worthy the pains necessary to secure its con troi. - The American manufacturer Is just beginning to take steps to capture at least a fair share of this trade. Their distance from Egypt and the cost of transportation are, no doubt, serious handicaps for American exporters, but with the advantages held by American manufacturers in the production o goods and the superior quality of their products these disadvantages lose half the'r terrors.
