"No Immediate glorious career Is promised." Prosecutor Jessup in his innouncement. Ah, but later, eh Wilfred? Well, if John W. Kern gats Tom Taggart's shoes as democratic nationil committeeman he will certainly lave to have them half-soled. Mr. Kern in taking Tom Taggart's ld shoes should exercise due caution :hat there are no rough places to derelope brewery bunions on his feet. The unknown man who jumped Irom a New York ferry boat, complaining that life is a gamble and that he card3 had been stacked against lim, must have been some one of hose New York millionaires President toosevelt has been pressing so closely ately. 'I am opposed to either the endorsement or nomination for president of Charles W. Fairbanks." Prosecutor fessup in his announcement. Fine, Wilfred, fine. But don't wory; all the other fellows are feeling he same way, so it is more or less of i Bure thing he won't get the nominaf late. Gladys Vanderbilt has paid $5,000,I00, it Is understood, for the little grinding who is to become her husand. American girls do not show he same ability that their American athers do. If an American father had inythlng as good as a $5,000,000 prince le would capitalize him for about no.000,000 and then pass him on to tome one else for an investment. Political Gossip. Might Ask Taggart. Rev. T. H. Kuhn says his "political kture is vague." No doubt this is rue. He might consult Tom Taggart towever and see whether or not he rill be allowed to get Into the runilng. Brookville American. Roots Changes Mind. Francis T.

Pressure of ti-.a Gaa.' There are spots in the ocean where the water is five miles deep. If it is true that the pressure of the water on any body in the water is one pound to th square inch for every two feet Df the depth, anything at the bottom it one of the "five mile holes" would have a pressure about it of 13.200 feet to evry square Inch. There is noth tog of human manufacture that would resist such a pressure. That it exist there is no doubt. It is known that the pressure on a well corked glas bottle at the depth of 300 feet is su freat that the water will force its wav through the pores of the glass.

The Magazines. Let the Railroads Make Money? Meanwhile the railroads of the coun try continue to do a large and flourishing business, although their net profits are diminished by reason of the growth of their fixed charges in all directions. Railroads when fairly run for the pub lic and for their stockholders ought to make money, so that they may be kept in a state of high efficiency. Whether or not the 2-cent passenger rate that so many states have adopted is really reasonable or not, it was in our opin ion very unstatesmanlike to force that issue during the past year. It was right to drive the railroads out of their old-time control of state politics. It was also right to oblige them to discontinue the improper distribution of free passes. Again, it was right to use every means, however drastic, to compel them to abandon the old system of rebates and discriminations. It was right to compel them to use safety appliances and thus prevent the slaughter of their own employees and the wrecking of passenger trains. It was right to enforce better systems of railroad accounting, and more thorough publicity in respect to all branches of railroad financiering and operation. It was right to improve tax laws and strengthen commissions. But these things constituted a sufficient program for the present; and it was not at all advisable to adopt arbitrary legislation that could be construed as an attempt to prevent the railroads from making money. So far as most states are concerned, the 2-cent fare laws will probably so increase local passenger taffic as not to curtail appreciably the earn ings of the roads. But the subject Is one that could have been fairly postpolned; and in our judgment the 2-cent laws will have proved themselves premature and therefore more harmful than beneficial. From "The Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for October. Measuring Morals by Machinery. Measuring thought by electricity an3 surprising the mind into betraying Its secrets by psychological detective work are ideas vaguely suggestive of n Bulwer Lytton novel, yet this is what Prof. Munsterberg proposes as a substitute for the Chinese methods of torturinc criminals, known as "The Third Degree." In an article of that title in the October McClure's he cites an instance of accused persons who have under legal pressure confessed with elaborate detail to crimes which they never committed. While his painless psychology is by no means an exact science, it has proved very successful In many cases. The phychological expert lures the suspected person into a pleasant game of verbal battledore and 6huttlecock and an electric clock registering a thousandth part of a second records every point in the game. The deductions are made from measurements of association of ideas. "Even the best bluffer will thus be trapped In his effort to conceal anything bytime differences which he himself cannot notice." The writer tells of experiments with subjects ranging from a notorious murderer to a college girl who ruined her health by a sureptitious diet of

candy. "Experiments have convinced me that the method may bring to light facts of which even the patient himself is ignorant." The South and the Negro. From "The South and Its Problems," by A. W. Dimock, in the October Metropolitan Magazine. Sometimes in a hotel your waiter, who cannot read the order you have written, will allude to the time when he was a member of the legislature. Your barber, if he can be induced to converse, may entertain you with an account of the siege of the capitol at Columbia by Wade Hampton, and of his own precipitate fight when the United States troops were withdrawn. If you chance to travel by the mail wagon from Beaufort to Frogmore, the drive may mention that he is the Hon. Hastings Gantt, late member of the legislature of South Carolina, now returned to his before-the-war occupation of driving a -team, while as a friend walks with you to the church of which he may be an elder, he Is reasonably certain to tell you of the tissue ballots with which he aided his people to nullify an election and trade off the chief executive of a nation for the government of a state. Shiftless and undependable as the negro often is, yet he raises nearly half of the cotton crop of the country and the farm owners of his race in the Southern states are now counted by the hundred thousand. The old plantation life is dead, dead as slavery, dead as the fantastic chivalry of the Middle Ages. Yet the land i3 as fertile, skill to develop it as plentiful, and laborers whom nature has adapted to conditions and climate, as numerous as ever, requiring only tactful control. American statesmen have declared such control only possible through methods that savor of the dark ages and have passionately protested that education of the negro tnreatened social purity and made possible a hybridized South, thereby alleging that the Anglo-Saxon lacked the morality to make the Anglo-African impossible. Yet a member of this despised race, looking into the future with the eye of a prophet, has pointed out the only solution of the socalled race problem, consistent with the spirit of the age. No man of feeling can look upon and apprehend the work, wonderful when measured by any human standard, moral or physical of Booker T. Washington with emotion coupled with admiration for the earnestness, devotion and prescience that has deservedly placed his name so high on the scroll of fame of his race. Lawson's Measure Must be Taken. Frank Fayant in 'Success Magazine." This man (Thomas W. Lawson) is not to be laughed away nor damned away. He is a factor in American life, and his measure must be taken, To take his measure as an American citizen we will iay bare his record as a gambler In stocks, his record as a prophet of the rise and fall of the financial markets, his record as a promoter of mining and industrial played the game just the plain tale, without passion or prejudice, without any frills or fur-belows of rhetoric. If we find that for years he has been stealing from his neighbors' pocket-

i.

books, that he has been telling palpable lies, making false prophecies and preaching false doctrines if we find, in a word, that Truth and Lawson have not gone hand in hand since that day, thirty-eight years ago, wrhen the lion and the unicorn on the old State House in Boston saw him come into State street to seek his fortune, then we need no longer give him our serious thought. We may watch him, perhaps, with the idle curiosity that we give the mountebank on the village green, who harangues the village bumpkins and exchanges his worthless nostrums for their good money. With Lawson's record laid bare we will know whether he is a man with a real remedy for our economic His, or only a mountebank with a worthless nostrum. The Building of a Witticism. The October Bohemian has an artide entitled. "How a Joke is Made.' In it Marshall P. Wilder, the well known humorist, cites this story as an illustration of one method: "Here is a story with a joke in It about Labouchere, the genial editor of London Truth. When he was standing for the borough of Northampton for the English Parliament a little girl came up to her father and said: 'Papa, who made Mr. Labouchere?' 'Why, Providence, my dear,' answered the somewhat astonished parent. 'And what for, papa?' inquires the child. Now that isn't a bad joke. It was natural, anyway. But listen to one of mine, which really has exactIv the same point, though it is brought out in a different way. A child and her mother are on the cars. Opposite them sits a young man dressed in the heighth of fashion. Says the child: 'Mamma, what is that?' and, as she asks the question she points to the young man opposite. 'Hush, my dear, answers the mother. 'But mother, I want to know.' To quiet the child the mother whispers in her ear: 'He is what we call a dude, dear.' The chili persists as usual in gaining some more information. 'And who made him, mamma?' 'Why, Providence, dear, of course,' replies the mother sotto voce, whereat the child exclaims: 'Oh, mother, doesn't Providence like to have fun sometimes?' You see, the 6tories are real ly alike. At all events the point is the same. Ballooning Not Dangerous. The uninitiated are prone to look upon the balloon as a sort of country fair attraction, whose principal interest lies in the aeronaut takes. This is a mistake. Like the automobile, the balloon requires an experienced pilot, and when such a one is in charge, serious or fai tal accidents are never recorded. Most balloon clubs require all ascensions to be made under a regularly licensed pilot who receives his certificate from the club only after having demonstrated his fitness. The pilot, who is willing to go up only in favorable weather and to come down at the prop er time, need never endanger lives. ; He knows he has only to open i Talve and he can descend; he has only j to ro- out a handful of sand and he can preTent his balloon from coming down, or can send it up. When he is ready to land, he picks out a favorable j spot ahead of him, lets his balloon j COme gradually down near the ground, cuts loose the anchor which stops his progress, then opens the valve again If necessary. When the car touches the ground, he tears out the ripping strip and the balloon stretches out on the ground, a flat and empty bag. From "Ballooning and Aerial Navlga

724 MAIN tion," by F. P. Lahm, U. S. A., in The Outing Magazine for October. When Wall Street Cries "Wolf, Wolf." Wrall Street sometimes cries out panic, panic, when there is no panic. It is to the interest of some speculators to make the public and the other speculators believe that the business outlook Is dark, and that the conditions will be still worse three or six months hence. And not all those prophets of disaster belong to the element who are always and under all circumstances bears. Now I am not going to make any attack on Wall street. As the designation is popularly used, there are two "Wall Streets." At one of these Wall Streets there are cliques of gamblers or wreckers who sometimes raid the exchanges and send quotations up or down sharply, without any regard for basic values. That is the Wall Street, which, on May 9, 1901, on March 14, 1907, and on many like occasions, made forays on the market, in which securities rose or dropped spectacular ly, irrespective altogether of intrinsic worth, and in which fortunes were made or lost in a few minutes. That is the Wall Street which the public has in mind when it condemns that place That too, Is the Wall Street which is doing most, though not all, of the pes simistic talking about the business outlook in 1907. The other "Wall Street" is the point to which a large part of the country's surplus cash gravitates for employ ment when it fails to find profitable work to do at home; the place from which most of the country's larger en terprises are financed; the locality which talks and acts for the United States in all its great financial transactions with Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world. That is the real and the greater Wall Street. From "Why Prosperity Wrill Continue," by Jas. W. Van Cleave, President of the National Association of Manufacturers, in The Circle for October.

STREET HARMLESS SNAKES. They Are Valuable as Aids to ths Agriculturist. It Is not generally known that the preservation of harmless snakes is as important as the destruction of the hosts of pests met with In farming and In market gardening. The rational records contain sad histories of the total or partial extermination of many animals which are useful or beautiful or both. Yet there are few animals more useful in one way than 6nakcs. If humanity alone prevented the killing of harmless snakes, how can we Justify it when they are proved to be useful to us? Consider the economic relation of a snake to an ear of corn or a row of potatoes. Snakes live almost entirely upon creatures which are destructive to growing things that is, they cat literally millions of Insects, small mammals and worms. Especially are potato bugs, worms, flies, beetles, maggots, ants, grubs, grasshoppers, locusts and the larvae of these the food of most of our snakes. Of considerably over eighty different kinds of snakes found throughout the United States and exclusive of the rattlesnakes and mocassins there are but two which can be termed dangerous. We exclude the rattlesnakes and the moccaslus because all are large, easily recognized forms, which cannot be confuted with harmless kinds. Living in water, the moccasins are not often troublesome to farming regions and are confined to the south from North Carolina around the gulf coast and the Florida peninsula and along the southern Mississippi, living in swamps, ine two reaiiy poisonous snakes w-hich might be mistaken for harmless ones are the copperhead and the coral snake. Of the two the copperhead only needs our attention. This truly poisonous snake Is slender and has few features to distinguish it from harmless milk snakes. It is found usually In rocky hills or stone piles, old cellars being a favorite spot But It should not be greatly feared, for unless attacked or stepped on It will not bite, and it Is seldom found where there is cultivation of the ground In progress. SL Louif Post-Dispatch. AMERICA'S MOUNTAINS. Grander and Greater In Variety Than the Old World's. North America has suffered shamefully from Alpine arrogance. Its masters have looked upon glacierless Colorado, the ridges bulging faintly above the continental plateau; upon Popocatapeti and his sister titans reaching isthinusward. upon the snowy dead craters of the Cascades, and pitied as Americans that our lands offered mountain sport for none but women and old men. Volcanoes? An Inferior port of mountain. The Appalachians? Molehills.
