"Why did yon send your lxy to college?" 1 linked the president of a great railroad. "Be ennse he will inive hard problems to solve. The college training will tit him to solve these problems." Th? problems which American life is to solve In the future are of tremendous complexity, perplexity and comprehensiveness. They are social, financial, governmental, indus trial. The massing of the great forces of life Is oeturring In the United States. The continuance of the process of combination and consolidation Is to be linyhod only by the (hiding of men who can guide and rttjtr! these great movements. Hie men who give most promise for such guiding and controlling are the college mem ;or they are trained un. They are trained to thick. They are able to weigh evidence. They can see values, assets. They can reduce a Oirdtirude of dlscordaVt phenomena to the one truth whrtt unites all Into a harmonious whole. They are able to detect the irrelevant and to point out the essen fatifl ami nocessarj. They can discriminate motives and show how tnothes become movements. ft is, of cvarse, superficial, nnd I think it is almost swicrflour. to say that college graduates have no mo nopoly of such conditions and forces. Greater men wb are not college graduates are found In the active work of the modern world than are most men who lire college graduates. The collet Is not the only force that helps to form humanity and the individual. I,et us he thank ful that there aie other forces, many and most Influential. Hut It Is to be Mid that the college la a force which, added to the natural force of many men, has helped to constitute their great worth. Hut I am only urglp that the more complex conditions of modern life are making more Imperative the need of men of the widest, deepest, highest, most enriching education, nnd of a most dis ciplinary trnlning. The great business men of the future are to be better trained than were their fathers. Yet the father Is sure to find that the college will give to Ills son some-thing besides a capacity for commercial and Industrial leadership. This something Is a gift which not a few would regard ns of Importance superior to commercial or Industrial mastery. The college will help a loy to a more satisfy ing life, it will oien to htm fields of meditation nnd re flection fresh and Inviting which once would have seemed to Mm barren and brown. It will aid him In finding him self least alone when most alone. It will help htm to clearer thinking, to purer feeling, to stronger willing; but the thinking will also be richer as well as clearer, the feeling will br deeper as well as purer, end the will will be more gracious as well as stronger.

Men show It la their whole attitude toward their women friends. They handle our feel ings with their lightest touch, they walk among our prejudices on tiptoe; they take off their bats to our bigotry If we call It religion; they accept our aqueamlshness for refinement; and they grow gray before they discover that with certain women n fit of tears means no more than a fit of pro fanity for Borne men. They surely are pntlent in their own way. Hut neither can It be denied that in their choice of friends they are sometimes stupid to a heart rending degree. In the main, an Anglo-Saxon man's friends are as little of his choosing as the shape of bis nose. One can run over the list in the dark. His fam ily friends, his wife's friends, the wives of his friends. Then come the Inconsiderable residuum (in slec), the friends whom he has chosen for himself. Here will be where blunders will show, but the worst re like to be birds of passage. Terhaps he made them during his col lege days when the haze was over every pretty girl whom he met. It Is too much o expect a lad to pick the girl of really fine imture and sweetness. Nor does he; he admires the girl all the other fellows admire a pretty, flippant little creature who isn't afraid to talk (usually he is!) and can dance like a dream. But will men con tinue to odmlrc missy? I trow not. Harper's Bazar. CTfEEH OP ANARCHISTS. Kvima (inlduinn the Muat Trouble aaana Woman in America. Knr more than half a decade the. eu tire secret service of the United States, assisted by the postal authorities and a score ef city police forces, has bocn striving wldiout much avail to compel ose little woman to bold her tongue. Laws have been made especially to ileal wtth her nnd whole corps of de tectives framed to enforce the laws. Bnt csitn age threats, arrests and Im prisonment hare failed to check the fanatical activity of this champion of pests, Emma Goldman, Internationally kaown as tho Queen of the Anarchists. lOnwsa Gkridinan was born in 1870 at Keorto Httssio, and was educated there ad at Keenlgsberg, Germany. In 18S4, her pcrcMs having preceded her, Em nn, aonwtipatited by an elder sister, Utrten, camo to America and settled with Vr relatives at Rochester, N. Y. Here tShe engaged in dressmaking, and -claims to have been successful. She was married In 1SSH to Joseph Klrsh ner, the ceremony being performed by a ralM In accordance with the faith In which stie, had been brought up. This union, however, did not prove happy, and toe coapHe soon separated by mu ti:i! consent, but remained friends. It was about this time that Emma Goldman began to take an interest in anarchistic teachings. Then came thb bomb-throwing episode in Chicago, for which Parsons, Fples. Kngel, Fischer and l.tn.; paid the penalty on tho M'.'iiXold, ur.d Emilia Goldman's course In lift changed. She forthwith took tip OiO preaching of what she calls with univasrlous irony, "the higher lnctriue of humanity," and has stuck te it. since, through many vicissitudes. At 37 the "Queen" is still a woll-pre-served woman. She Is only live feet three Inches in height, and weighs flbont 132 pounds, hut her youthful gait and carriage give no slight Impres sion of nervous energy and determina te a. In 18.XS she opened a dressmaking es tabllrtnnciit tn New York. Joined the Tinneers of ' I.ilierty," the oldest anarchfstlc orwini.aiiou In the city, and soon made her powers of persua sive kksm-I( felt. It was during that ye.tr that she first met Alexander lierkuian. whom she has since taken as her "husband." according to the teachings of anarchy. Itcrkmau soot, after attempted the life of Henry C.

Then It was de cided that, she give up business and devote her entire time to "the cause." Troublesome times followed for' her and she had many unpleasant experi ences with the authorities In Paterson, Philadelphia, New York, Barro (Vt), Denver and other cities. The world stood aghast when King Humbert of Italy was murdered by an anarchist at Honza, July 29, 1900. It subsequently developed that the mur derer was one Brescl, an ardent fol lower of Emma Goldman, who Jour neyed from Paterson, N. J., to his na tive land on his murderous mission. On Sept.

It was wild that Czolgosz had claimed to be a follower of Emma Gold man and that her lecture at Cleveland, Just before the tragedy, had Inspired him to commit the deed ; thereuntil the United States government, acting with the authorities of New York State, de manded her arrest. She left St Ixmls, where she had been staying, and went to Chicago. She was promptly arrested nnd put under J2(,KK bail.

CONCRETE ON A NEW PLAN. Blethod FoIleTTcil hjr mu Kog-lnrei on tha Pact a Coast. Particulars are given In the Engi neering Record of a concrete Wall thul haj Recently been coustpucted In rather unusual manner by-J. F. Lyman of Modesto, Cnl. Between the framing forming the outer and Inner faces of, the wall collapsible hollow cylinders somewhat less in diameter than the thickness of the wall were placed ver tically at Intervals, the cylinders hav ing previously been erforated with several holes. The obect of this was to drain the water from the fresh con crete as the latter was placed round the cylinders. The concrete having been filled In round the cylinders, It wr.s allowed to set during the night nnd the water which had collected In the cylinders was then pumped ut and the cylinders were withdrawn, the space which they occupied being Oiled with concrete. It Is stated that the hollow cyltnoers con- tailed from two to six Inches of cleat water at the end ef from ten to twelve hours, the water having drained from the concrete. The object tn providing this extra drainage was to procure a uniform set throughout the mass of concrete. It appears that a large number of con crete structures have been bnllt by Mr. I.yman In this way, including the head pates, waste weirs, drops and highway bridges on a large irrigation works. Concrete laid by this method Is said to be unusually free from cracks nndr Is very uniform In strength. A I.rmon I ok trad.

Milhoda Which Arc t'fit fop Send ing and HecclvttiK Mounts:', Every one knows, of course, that an ocean cable is really a telegraph line. but few people realize that the rules for working land Hues do not In any way apply to tho cable. When the first long cables were laid, the greatest dif ficulty was experienced In sending through them a current of electricity 8uflicleijt to dispatch tlie messages rap Idly. The methods used In overcoming these difficulties aud which are In use at the present time are described as follows: Keys which, when pressed, transmit positive and negative currents, are employed at the sending station In connection with the regulation battery. The current of the battery docs not pass directly Into the cable, but luto a condenser, which passes It Into the submnrlne Hue. This greatly Increases the force of the current used nnd serves to cut off Interfering ground currents. The Instrument first employed lu re ceiving cablegrams was a reflect lug galvanometer. Upon tho magnet of this instrument Is carried a small curved mirror. A lamp Is placed be fore the mirror and behind a screen in which there is a vertical slit 1'Iunhoa of light moving across this slit as the needles moved from left lo right. Indi cated to the trained eyes of the oper ator the letters in the messages being transmitted. But this method of recording mes sages was found to tax tlie eyesight of the operator severely, a few years' work often rendering them almost If not totally blind. Recognizing the fact that there must be something wrong witli such a system. Inventors set nbout repairing the defect, which re sulted in perfecting the syphon gal vanometer, which has all but super seded all other receiving devices. In the syphon receiver tlie move ments of the needle are recorded by means of Ink spurted from a flue tube. This tube Is attached to a coll sus pended between two fixed magnets, which swings to the right or left as the pulsations pass through It. The syphon galvanometer Is a great Improvement, is not hard on the eyes, and enables the operator to receive much more rapidly than with the old flush receiver.
