OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS

iSPLAYS of affection among members of fam
ilies are largely matters of temperament The
members of some families never meet or part
without ardent demonstrations of love which
I are delightful to themselves and pleasing to
I every sensible observer. Who can witness ,
without a wanning of the heart , the cries of
Joy , and the embraces with which children welcome the
return of father or mother from a temporary absence , or
the affectionate parting and meeting of husband and wife ?
A person who finds in Oils proper display of pure family
affection only an occasion for ridicule is to be pitied. There
are other families , however , in which outward demonstra
tions of love are almost never scon. The members of such
families reserve any show of affection for extraordinary
occasions when the deepest feelings of the heart are
stirred , and even when betrayed into an exhibition of their
love , have a feeling of shame as if they had shown a weak
side of their nature. There is no reason to suppose that
the love of these persons for their family and friends is
not as strong and deep as that cherished by those who are
more demonstrative , and they would without doubt do
as much in case of need for their comfort and pleasure.
The repression of the expression of feeling is peculiarly
an American vice. The actions of many foreigners when
even slightly moved seem to us extravagant and amusing.
We cover our deepest emotions with a joke and a laugh.
But those who are so chary of displays of proper emotion
rob themselves of much pleasure. While demonstrations
of love among friends may go so far as to be indecorous
or insincere , reasonable exhibitions of affection are both
proper and pleasurable. Especially repression by any one
of a show of love from a child or a companion is a cruel
blow at one of the sweetest and most precious things in
life , sincere affection in the heart of a friend. The Watch
man.
The Spirit of Tolerance.
E would fain believe that men are gritting
more tolerant of each other's opinions , political ,
religious and otherwise. In our own country ,
at least , it is easy to discover a growing dispo
sition to minimize differences of belief and to
find for the betterment of mankind. 'Coleridge
.somewhere says that there are errors which
tu > wise man will treat with rudeness , while there is a
possibility that , there may be the refraction of some great
truth as ypl below the horizon. * - * *
Sir Thomas Browne , a sectarian of the strictest order ,
rejoices that he never divided himself "from any man
upon a difference of religions opinion. " It is only by the
recognition of the manhood beneath the opinions , preju
dices , preconceptions , perhaps misconceptions , with which
we invest ourselves that we can dwell together happily in
this world. * * *
Our opinions may come from birth and early environ
ment and may not be the result of inquiry , study and
conviction , however firmly one may believe that we have
worked out the problem for ourselves. We should , there
fore , extend the greatest charity to those who refuse to go
our way. Bishop Taylor , writing on friendship and gen
eral benevolence , observes that a good man is a friend to all
the world , and he is not truly charitable that does not wish
well and do good to all mankind In what he can. This
all-embracing friendship , benevolence and tolerance over
leaps the confines of sects , creeds , parties and social dis
tinctions. It emanates from "
the Deity. "The greater our
friendships are , the dearer we are to God. " We do not
all attain this catholicity of friendship , for we are im
perfect beings at best , but we should strive for it Were
the world imbued with this spirit , it would be transformed ,
and oppression , poverty , a thousand woes would be re
moved. Philadelphia Ledger.
Forestry and Irrigation Must Go Together.
HAT the time has come for an important , ag
T gressive movement for the reclamation of arid
and semi-arid lands in the western part of the
United States Is plainly indicated by the verv
large representation of States and Territories
at the eleventh national irrigation
congress re
cently held at Ogden , Utah.
For many years the friends of irrigation worked earn
estly and hopefully for Federal aid in carrying forward
projects for the reclamation of arid lands. They were

DRAINING A TREASURE LAKE.
Columbia Is the empire of El Dorado
= so named by the Spanish conquer
ors. At this very moment the exploi
tation of some of its hidden treasures
is the object of an engineering enter
prise directed by British energy , writes
Benjamin Taylor , F. R. G. S. , in Cham
ber's Journal. A London syndicate is
draining the sacred Lake of Guatavita ,
which lies about twenty miles from Bo
gota , the capital of the republic.
It was in 1535 that the Spaniards
heard of the lake. As the story reach
ed them , the Cacique of Bacata the
Indian predecessor of the modern city
of Bogota was "always covered with
powdered gold , fixed on his body by
means of an odoriferous resin. " Every
night he washed off the gold in the
sacred lake , and every morning he
was gilded an-w"which ; proves , " wrote
Ovicdj , the annalist of the conquerors ,
"that the empire of El Dorado Is in
finitely rich in mines. "
So it was , and is , and there Is no
.doubt that the lake was the principal
and general place of worship , that rich
offerings were.continually made to it ,
and that many a cacique , with all his
wealth , was buried ben.ath its waters.
Moreover , when the Spaniards came ,
great quantities of treasure were sunk
In the lake , that they might not fall
into the hands of the Invaders. Possi
bly when the country became moro
p.-icful some of it was recovered ; but
a'French writer not Jules Yerne has
tstimated that gold and jewels to the
\alue of five billion dollars still lie at
iho bottom.
The lake , which is about a quarter
uf a mile in diameter , and has a max
imum depth of about forty-five feet ,
lLis in a cup-like depression on the
.summit of a' mountain , its surface be
ing .about ten thousand feet above the
last Congress , the fruit of long agitation , makes it incum
bent upon these advocates of Federal aid to co-operate
with the Government in planning a comprehensive irri
gation project for the upbuilding of a great agricultural
empire in the western zone of the republic. It is esti
mated that there are in the semi-arid zones about 600,000-
000 acres of vacant public lands with sufficient water
available under the storage system to irrigate one-sixteenth
of it In his address to the congress President Clark stated
his belief that if the Government would expend $10,000,000
annually- for thirty years in providing reservoirs sufficient
to reclaim 20,000,000 acres , the land reclaimed would pro
vide homes for 12.000.000 to 15,000,000 people. As this
sum might be easily realized from the sale of reclaimed
Government land a magnificent contribution to the wealth
of the nation could thus be made with but small outlay.
Development and reclamation of the arid West , to bt
of permanent value , must have its foundations laid in a
system of forests for protecting the sources of water sup
ply which will be forever protected by the Government
from destruction. Chicago Record-Herald.
What Fast Train Operation Means.
HEN the "Twentieth Century Limited" train
recently made a run on the Lake Shore Rail
road of 133.4 milcn , from Toledo to Elkhart in
114 minutes , probably none of the passengers
gave a thought to the
real meaning of such a
magnificent speed performance. In order to
accomplish the fe-at a speed of fully 85 miles
per hour had to be maintained for considerable portions of
the distance. With a modern passenger train such speed
can be attained with safety only when roadbed , track ,
equipment , discipline of employes and other operating con
ditions are about as perfect as human skill can make them.
The train consisted of six Pullmans , each weighing 55
tons , or a total of 330 tons , one combiration baggage car
weighing 30 tons and a locomotive 133 tons. To hurl a
mass weighing a total of 495 tons , or 990,000 pounds , along
steel rails weighing only 85 pounds to "lie yard means a
sustained shock of tremendous force , and a strain to track
and roadbed which would search out the slightest weakness
or defect
One revolution of the engine drivers , which were 84
inches in diameter , curried the train forward about seven
yards. In running one mile the piston rod must go back
ward and forward 247 times.
A speed of 85 miles per
hour means 1 % milts per minute , so that the piston rod
would have to go back and forth , and the large drivers
revolve six times each second , which is almost too rapid
for the eye to follow. Experiments have shown that a
train weighing as many tons as the 'Twentieth Century
Limited , " when running at the rate of 85 miles per hour ,
cannot be brought to a stop within 3.000 feet.
An "emergency" stop would be very likely , therefore ,
to mean disaster to such train
a , and only perfectly opera
ted signals and the highest art in train dispatching can
insure the train against such stops. When it is realized
also that a slight defect in any portion of the equipment
or imperfect inspection of the same is almost certain to be
followed by dire results , the wonder grows over the degree
of perfection attained In the various arts and in discipline
which have united in making modern train operation possi
ble. Chicago Record-Herald.
What Constitutes Riches ?
HE New York Times has been printing the
ideas of many contributors given as answers to
the question : When may a man in New York
City be considered rich ? The notion of ricaes
is always a variable one. The question related
: o the amount of money one must have to be
/eckoued a rich man according to New York
standards. Well , New York standards are various. To
some $100,000 , to others $500,000 , to others a million or
fen millions seems necessary. One's idea of riches de
pends largely on his ideas of luxury ; that is , of what
would seem luxury to him , the power to satisfy all his
wants. But wants grow with the ability to supply them.
There is always something beyond the present power of
acquisition that seems desirable. Most men refuse to
admit that they are so rich that they desire no more.
Riches might be defined as. something more than one has.
As might be expected , there are the usual philosophical an
swers , as , for example , "good health , freedom from debt
and anxiety , and tastes corresponding to one's income. "
This is a definition of happiness rather than of riches.

sea-level and several hundred feet
above the surrounJiug plain. A tunnel
eleven hundred feet in length is being
driven thiough the side of the hill at
a level of about seventy feet below the
surface of the water. A vertical shaft
is being sunk from a point near the
edge to meet the tunnel , which is
driven from both ends.
When the tunnel and shaft are com
pleted , an open cut will be made from
the shaft toward the center of the lake ,
and the water will be siphoned off
through the shaft and runnel as the
works proceed , both to avoid any un
due rush , and to enable the men work
ing in It to keep dry. The mud and
ailt in the bed of the lake will then
be treated for the recovery of the gold
and precious stones they are believed
to contain.
In the course of the operations many
curious articles of gold and pottery
have been found on the margin of the
lake and about its shores. These ob-
'ects are net only of great antiquity ,
but they appear to be Imitations of
the products of a still earlier age.
Some of the vases and ornaments re
covered are very similar to objects
found In the tombs of the Incas in
Peru and Ecuador ; others have a sug
gestion of Egyptian craft or teaching.
The finding of these empty vases
which are believed to have held
treasure leads to the supposition that
many treasure-seekers have l.een there
already ; but what has been got out
can only have been by dredging , and
as the appliances available for work of
that kind must have been very ineffi
cient , the London treasure-hunters ex
pect a rich reward for their own labors.

WIT IN TOASTS TO WOMEN.
Some Examples that Are Famous Be-
cauas of llieir Point.
A banquet with a list of toasts as a r
part of its program almost necessar s
ily includes one "To Lovely Woman. "
To omit such would be lese-majeste of
t
the most ungallant sort Many of these
toasts have become famous for their
wit or sentiment or sarcasm , and
'
among them may be recalled the following -
lowing :
"Woman , the fairest work hi ell cre
ation. The edition is large and no man
should be without a copy. " v
This is fairly seconded by a youth
2J
who , giving his distant sweetheart , 2Jh
said : "Delectable dear , so sweet that
honey would blush in her presence Qn Qk
and.treacle stand appalled. ' k
Further , in regard to the fair sex ,
p
we have :

"Woman , she needs no eulogy ; she
speaks for herself. " "Woman * the bit
ter half of man. "
In regard to matrimony some bache
lor once gave : "Marriage , the gate
through which the happy lover leaves
his enchanted ground and returns to
earth. "
At the marriage of a deaf and dumb
couple some , wit wished them "un
speakable bliss. "
At a supper given to a writer of
comedies a wag said : "The writer's
very good health. May he live to be
as old as his jokes. "
From a lay critic : "The bench and as
bar. If it were not for the bar there
would be little use for the bench. "
A celebrated statesman while dining
with a duchess on her SOth birthday ,
in proposing her health , said :

HEADGEAR IN MEXICO.
Silk Hata Now Worn by Officials In-
lead of Sombreros.
Among all well-bred people great at
tention is paid to the hat of the mascu
line visitor , says Modern Mexico. Tha
emblem of graudeeship , as Ilichaic
ford called it , Is taken at once am
'jarefully placed on a chair quite as it
It were a person. It must be treated
with respect A table is also a proper
place for it , but a chair is better.
Especially is the top hat distinguish
ed in etiquette ; it Implies that the
wearer is a real senor , a true cabellero
and it is honored with careful treat
ment See that it Is allowed to repose
on a chair safe from casual knocks or
jars. In common parlance , the top hat
Is "una chistera , " a facetious woid
and , speaking seriously , It is "un som
brero de copa , " or , "de copa alta. " It
is an emblem of social rank and lawyers -
yers often wear it from morning till
night
The sombrero de paja , or straw hat
may be of many degrees of fineness.
Sometimes it has a gold or silver cord
and is worn by well-to-do rancheros or
great haciendados on proper occasions.
Women on horseback in the count 1-3
and formerly In the city wore hand
some sombreros. The sombrero of felt ,
with , its ornaments , may cost any
where from $10 to $1,000. It is the
gala hat for horseback on days of
fiestas and in the countiy regions is
affected by the prosperous. Remembei
that the hat , in any form , is somethinj.
to respect It is taken off as a sign
of regard and deference or of mere
courtesy.
The sombrero calanes is the Andalu
sian hat of low crown and broad brim ,
the hat of the bullfighter on the street ,
where he receives the homage of the
admiring populace , especially of tht
small boy. It has its epochs of coming
into quite general use , and it is far
more picturesque than the staid and
prim derby. The latter hat is much af
fecled by the city youth of Mexico , but
it is foreign , alien and an exotic. It is
ridiculous when worn on horseback
under the ardent sun of Mexico or An
dalusia.
In old times Mexicans , as well as
Spaniards of social rank , wore tht
cocked hat , immortalized in Alarcon's
story of the "Sombrero de Tres Picos. '
The three-cornered hat , properly speak
ing. affected by the people in times
agone. was called the "sombrero detres
caudiles. "
Boys of the lower classes wear cheap
straw sombreros to school , and tht
marvel is that they ever distinguish
them , for they are as much alike a $
peas in a pod.
But to return to our muttons , so tc
say , the hat as a symbol of grandee
ship. It is nowadays the tall hat , th <
"topper , " the silk hat , stovepipe , 01
what you will. "Goberuadoers" weai
it'sena'ors and deputies and lawyers
of course , though in Mexican cities the
young lawyers affect jaunty straw hati
in warm weather , and often derbies.
The grandees of the first class ol
Spain have the privilege of remaining
covered in the presence of their sovereign
eign , and the other day the young Kina
Alfonso , receiving a party of noblemen
of high degree , who approached him
uncovered , said , after a moment. "Cov
er yours'lves senores , " which is the an
cient etiquette. Thus the hat plays in
Spanish tradition and actual life a cer
emonial part differing from usage in
Anglo-Saxon countries.

fvention A
The using of electric light in bath
rooms , either public or private , so it
is asserted by an English engineer. Is
dangerous in many cases. Writing to
the Government Gazette , he says that
the electric light switches most usu
ally employed have brass covers and
brass knobs , and it is quite possible
that this metal work may be in un
suspected contact with the electric
supply wires. In such a case a person
standing on a dry wooden floor , and
using the switch , would not notice
any defect , but anyone in the act of
taking : i bath , or standing with bare
feet on a wet or metallic floor , and at
tempting to turn on the light , would
receive a very severe shock which
would probably prove fatal even at
the comparatively low pressure of20
volts. "
Some twenty-five years ago mon
gooses were imported into Barbados to
drive away the rats which ate the
sugar canes. Now the sugar planters
have petitioned the governor to au
thorize the destruction of the mon
gooses because the latter , instead of
confining their attention to the rats ,
have driven out many useful animals ,
including lizards , which were the enemies -
omies of the moth-borer caterpillars.
The caterpillars are now left free to
penetrate the sugar canes , thereby af
fording holes for the lodgment of de
structive funguses. Thus in the con
tinual struggle for existence nature
herself Is often found to have estib-
lished the best system of equilibrium ,
interference with which always brings
more ills than it drives away.
lias radium any practical uses apart
from its value to pure science ? It has
been reported that cancer has been
cured , or at least that the patient was
benefited , and that partial sight has
been restored to the blind through the
agency of radium. But these alleged
uses for the wonderful substance have
not yet been finally demonstrated.
There is another direction , however , in
which it is regarded as possible that
radium may prove useful , and that is
in the production of light Prof. Oliver
Lodge has pithily said that a knowl
edge of the firefly's secret would en
able us to produce light without heat
The source of the energy which the
firefly uses , like the source of the en
ergy of radium , is unknown. Through
the study of radium , it has been sug
gested , we may discover a cheaper
and better method of illumination than
any we now possess.
Last summer Dr. Horace C. Hovey
conceived and tested a new method of
measuring the height of some of the
great dome-shaped chambers in the
Mammoth Cave. He called to his as
sistance the toy balloon , and after
some preliminary experiments had his
balloons made of a special pattern ,
with thinner and more elastic rubber
than that usually employed. Then ,
with five balloons tied in a cluster , and
each Inflated with hydrogen to a di
ameter of ten inches , he began his at
tempts at measurement in the cave.
An acetylene light furnished illumina
tion in the great chambers sufficient
to reveal the balloons when they
touched the ceiling. The measuring
tape was a light silk thread. The
Rotunda was found to be just 40 feet
high , and the Mammoth Dome 119 feet
inches. But in the vast temple called
Gorin's Dome wandering air currents
rendered the balloons unmanageable
when about two-thirds of the way to
the ceiling.
How to Read.
Edward Everett Hale , in his exceU

cusses the matter of reading. The sub
stance of what he says may be given
in the form of the following ten rules :
1. Don't try to read everything.
2. Read two books on the same sub
ject , one solid , one for pleasure.
3. Don't read a book for the sake
of saying , I have read it.
4. Review what you read.
5. Read with a pencil in hand.
G. Use a blank book.
7. Condense whatever you copy.
8. Read less and remember it.
9. One hour for light reading should
have one hour of solid reading.
10. Whatever reading you do , do it
regularly.

STORY OF A CHILD BANK.
When Father Lame to X < eave He Ha *
Mo Money.
The tank belonged to the child , and
it had all the interest of a ne-w toy.
In an effort to show the child how
-worked and the object of it , the
mother had sacrificed all her available
change , after which the child had
picked up a few pennies that had becc
carelessly left on a table , and these
had followed the rest Then she had
waited to make a financial assault oa
her father.
"Money , " she said to him as soon as
he was settled in his favorite chair.
"Say ! she's beginning early. " he
commented , laughingly.
"Oh , I've got a savings bank for bar.
and she's been crazy to put money to
it all day , " his wife explained.
"Well , as long as she puts it in tfc
bank it's safe , " he remarked , as ke
gave her a nickel.
Her eyes sparkled and she laughed
sp joyously that he was enraptured.
She was a happy , graceful child , with
very pretty and captivating ways of
expressing her pleasure. J
"That was worth more than &
nickel , " he laughed , as lie gave her
a dime.
"But you mustn't humor her too
much. " his wife cautioned.
"Oh. this is in a good cause , " h
urged , with the blind indulgence of a
particularly proud father. "It's teach
ing her lo save money , and that's
something every child should learn. It
isn't like spending it. you know , which
would be wasteful. "
So he gave her a quarter , and in two
minutes he was laughing as joyously
as she was and getting as much run
out of her as she was out of the bank.
But after dinner it was different.
"By George : " he exclaimed , "the
bank's got all my money , and I've got
to go uptown. I'll have to 'oorrow some
change from you. "
"What little I had , " she explained ,
"was used in showing Tottie what the
bank was for. "
"Well , a bill , then. "
"Haven't one. I told you this morn
ing you'd have to bring home some
money to-night. Did you forget it ? "
His blank look showed that he had.
"We'll have to open the bank , then. "
he said. "I've got to have some
money. "
"The only way thit : bank can be
opened , " she told him , "is by taking
it to the savings bank that issued it ,
and then they'll i lace the money it
contains to the credit of Tottie. "
He swore ; not th re in the house ,
but later , while he was taking a nice ,
brisk , three-mile walk to keep his ap
pointment for that evening. And it
was a week before he could be In
duced to look at the little bank again ,
which he has classified as a sort of aa

INDIAN AS FOOTBALL PLAYER. ,
He Is Unsurpassed in Kimjiinsr and
Tackling -F"nd of Game.
As a matte * or prosaic fact , these
hard-working and well-behaved wards
of the nation at Carlisle have been
from the start models of disciplined
and educated conduct on the football
field us well as off , and only their
shocks of black hair and their
swarthy faces mark them as unusuai
or odd when they line up against the
"palefaces , " says a writer in the Il
lustrated Sporting News.
These lads are intensely fond of
football , and they have left in them
an inherited indifference to hurts and
a toughness of fiber that are their
strongest qurlities whin added to
swiftness and agility of movement I
have seen them 'play through a hard
game without one call for "time out ; "
because of injury , and nearly everyone
who has seen them play must have
noticed the fierceness of their tackling
and their fashion of breaking out of a
scrimmage on the rebound like so
many rubber balls. In running , tack
ling and aggressive line-breaking the
Indians are unsurpassed.
Their weakness is an argument to
favor of the claim that football in
a question of tLt trained mind as much
as the powerful body. It is mental
alertness and adaptability that the Car
lisle players find themselves lacking
when they meet the first-class teams.
To analyze and meet the unexpected ,
and to solve the problems of a sclem-
tific attack and defense of a style to
which they are not accustomed puzzles
the slower and less effectively trained
mind of the Indian , and he cannot
make as quick a change of mental
base as the white youth. This is to be
expected , and the astonishing feature
of it is that the Indian player is able
to make the showing he does. Ha
comes to Carlisle from the reserva
tion a little savage and in perhaps a.
half dozen years he is fashioned ini
the clean , alert , self-respecting young
man who delights those who know
good football , played with ardor , yet
with self-control
and intelligence of a
high order.
While his opponents shout
and rave in moments of great stress
he plays the game In silence , without a
show of emotion , whether he wins or
loses the type of the true sportsman.
He is a vindication both of the whole
some training of football in the development -
opment of young manhood and of the
magnificent work
accomplished
by the
policy and life work of Col. Pratt at
Carlisle.
