The stone age , bronze age and Iron .ape so overlap one another it is ; m- poFsible to say just when one begins or ends. Men began to use both bronze and iron long before stone had ceased to be usod. In fact , America was in the st'ine age so late as its discovery , by Columbus 400 years ago. It is safe to say that history proper and the iron age were born together anywhere from S,0 ( . > to ] < M 00 years ago. It is more than likely that men gained their first Informal ! m concerning the properties .of iron through experiments with the .pieces of it that had fillen from the sky in the shape of meteors.

Mr. Clay's declaration in favor of the issuance of paper money by the government provoked a controversy between him and Republi can Senators. Senators Lodge and Teller both gave their views on the policy of issuing paper money by the government. At 2 r.'JO p. in. the Senate adjourned until .Monday. Oratory in the House gave way to legislation , with the result that mate rial jiro ns was made in the executive. legislative awl judicial bill. It met with comparatively smooth sailing until on points of order by Mr. Mncon of Arkan sas the proposed increases in salaries of the assistant socrotaru s of the several de partments were stricken out. Mr. Macon explained his action by saying that an ap propriation bill was not the place for such legislation. With nearly two-thirda of the bill disposed of , the House ad journed. The Senate was not in session Satur day. Discussion in the House dwelt mainly on amendments providing for in- cren es in the salaries of the surveyors general of the several States , in each case the amendment was rejected. But little progress with Hie bill had been made , when the House adjourned until Monday. " After a brief executive session Monday the Sennte rdored the doors closed and for several hours diseu ed the Wether- spoon nomination. An agreement was reached to consider the ocean mail sub sidy bill on Wednesday. The legislative , executive and judicial appropriation bill , one of the h\rre. supply measures of the government , was passed by the House. The amount carried by it is practically as reported by the committee ? oU- In the Senate Tuesday the Aldrieh bill was opposed by Mr. Stone of Missouri. lie argued in advocacy of the plan foi government guarantee of deposits in na tional banks , and Senator Uncoil ol ( JeorgSa tonic occasion to oppose that prop osition. Mr. r.acon declared that if such a plan were put into effect State hanks \\ould be put out of business , as their deposits would find their way into na tional banks. The bill to revise the crim inal tode was considered during a couple of hours. Speaker t'annon's presidential ) > oem was given a boost in the lIeu s when Mr. I'ontoll of Illinois brought the subject to the fore as the climax of a hall hour's speed' . His remarks were based on tlio fact that Tuesday was the thirty- fourth anniversary of Mr. Cannon's first speech in the House. Most of the day was taken up by a discussion of the bill to provide for taking the next census. A speech by Senator Johnston of Ala bama on th" Aldrieh currency bill and a statement by Senator Hale , chairman of the committee on naval affairs , concern ing the proposed investigation of charges of defects in construction of battle ships , were the chief subjects of interest before the Senate Wednesday. The. bill pro viding for the taking of rhe thirteenth census occupied mo = ; t of the rime of the House. 1'rogre s with it was slow be cause of numerous amendments offered. The bill wa > amended in one important particular , however , and that was limit ing the census to the mainland of the T'uitod States. Alaska. Hawaii and Porto llico. Mr. Henry of Texas urged the Ke- pnblican * to bring in an employers' lia bility bill and a bill requiring notice be fore the issiiii'ico of federal injunction . The Senate adjourned a few minutes after convening Thursday morning out of respect to Senator Latimer of South Car olina. whoso death was announced. Most of the time the House was in session was consumed by the reading of impeachment charges offered by Mr. Waldo of Now York against Federal Judge Lobbins It. Wilfley of the Tinted States Court at Shanghai. China , which wore referred to the committee o the judiciary. The House adjourned early as a mark of re spect to Senator l.alinior. Diamond Formula. Discussion still continues in European papers concerning the case of Mr. Lo- iroine. the alleged diamond maker of Paris , who Sir Julius Wernhcr of the De I leers Minincr Company recently prose cuted on the charge of swindling him out of $ ' > 2(10 ( ) ( in connection with the financ ing of a company to exploit Lomoino's artificial diamond formula.

Stupendous Scheme of Senator New- lands , of Nevada. Congress at its present session will face the greatest scheme for th < * ag grandizement of the commerce of the country that was ever presented. It will have before it the bill of Senator Newlands of X.-- vada , creati- ! ! -i first fund of $ . " > " . - ( tM.UGO for au in- ; ; ind waterwa\ par alleling the sho'.vs , f the Atlantic a'i.1 i.

But It may not piss at this - that it mu < t p-s-s. : or that some meas ure of commensurate magnitude must speedily be adopted , every man in Amer ican public life , from minor politician to far-seeing statesman , has already conceded. There is no choice , no alter native , unless it be the choice of pur blind'folly. Senator Newlands , who introduced the bill , is one of the experts selected by the President as specially qualified for membership in tie Inland Water ways Commission the Nevada auth. r- ity whose broad knowledge of the sub ject ranks him with Frederick II. New ell , the director of the reclamation ser vice : Dr. W. J. MKJee. the distinguish ed expert of the geological bureau ; Gifford. Pinclior , Hie government for ester : Senator Warner of Missouri , who has been one of the mo' t thorough ly versed students of the plan , and Representative Burton , long acknowl edged as the Congressman qualified to peak the last word of wisdom upon the needs of the country's rivers and harbors. "In the next ten years , " declares Senator Newlands , "the United States should spend at leaf f $ oOO.OOOUOO in the improvement of inland waters. The government should enter into this work in every section of the country , on the Pacific coast , the Atlantic coast , the Gulf coast , and along the Mississippi river and its tributaries. " The proposal is to cut a channel at the northern end of the intercoastal canal , from Barnstable bay , north of ' 'ape Cod. to Buzzard's Bay , giving ac cess to the comparatively smooth wat ers of Buzzard's bay and an inner pas sage down Long Island sound to the Delaware and Raritan . canal , at Perth Amboy. The Delaware and Raritan. deepen ed , is to give access to the Delaware river at Trenton. N. J. . whence there will be the route of natural water courses to the Chesapeake and Dela ware canal , which extends across the narrow neck of Delaware and ( he east ern shore of Maryland. This will pro vide a ship route from the Delaware river to the Chesapeake bay. Down the Chesapeake bay the route proceeds to Norfolk and down the south branch of the Elizabeth river. It is likely to cut across Currituck sound , through Coanjock bay , across North Carolina , into Albemarlo sound and on through Croatan sound into Pamlieo sound. Cutting through the Beaufort , it has access , by means of various cuttings , to an inland route paralleling the whole Atlantic coa > t line down to Florida , and then on. skirting the Gulf of Mexico ice and admitting the enormous traffic of the Mississippi , to Texas and to the motif7i of the Rio Grande. . - ! j j i ' The University of Wisconsin will havr four coaches to make its football eleven for next seas n.

FRESH AIR SCHOOL. Hot Soapstones Furnished Pupils with Cold Feet. A fresh air school , unique among ed ucational institutions in this country , has just been opened in Providence , R. I. The school will be conducted in doors , in that it is held inside a build ing , but great swinging windows on three sides of each room , extending the length and width of each , and an ex tensive system of ventilation afford an atmosphere of cold , pure air , making the room easily adaptable to the con ditions necessary to comfortable and hygienic study by every student. The idea of establishing the school was first biiggested by the Rhode Isl and League for the Suppression of Tuberculosis , which had heard of the s.uisfactory results attained by many S'-hools of the kind in European coun tries. The system in operation in the German schools , which is almost uni versal throughout Europe , has been adopted for the Providence school with but few variations. The usual custom of removing the outer wraps while in the class rooms will not be followed in the "fresh air school. " except when the weather com pels tiie closing of the large windows. Students subject to cold extremities will have their feet and legs encased in woolen bag < . made for the purpose , and wear gloves or mittens when their studies and play permit. The chairs and desks and other paraphernalia in the class rooms have been constructed on portable platforms , so that it will be possible at all times to keep within the rays of the sun. The school is a part of the city's regular school sys tem. A MODERN UTOPIA. Millionaire's Plan for a Model Village in Ohio. Jamea W. Ellsworth , a coal operator , whose home is in New York , has taken under his protection the village o Hudson , in northern Ohio , which was for more than half a century the seat of Western Reserve University , and intends to make it the most beautiful spot in Ohio , as well as a seat of learning. He has already made one gift of $100,000 to the village , and within the next few months he will spend many additional thousands in beautifying the little town and carry ing out his plan of making it an edu cational center. Perhaps the most novel part of the program in beautifying the village ia \he destruction of unsightly buildings and everything in fact that does not suit his taste His agents have been busy buying np property all over the j village on which are located buildings which he thinks are a detriment to his plans. These structures will be torn down and flue new buildings erected in \heir place. Ellsworth is over GO years of age Mnd was born on a small farm near a ] splendid estate he owns not far from , Hudson. "His father conducted a gen eral store in the village. As a young man the son moved to Chicago. lie obtained employment there in the oflice of a big coal firm. After several years' hard work he starred in the coal busi ness * * for himself. In a few years he became one of the largest independent coal operators in the country. ' " " Cabinetmakers' Union , of St. Paid , and Minneapolis , Minn. , have formed a district , council. Minneapolis. Minn. . Trades Assembly represents about 13.000 momoors of labo/ unions in Minneapolis. In Germany the strongest trajjb union affiliated with the general f"tJcra .5on is that of the metal workers , which at the close of 190G had a membership of 3'.j , - 075. IJfTorts are being made TO organize a branch of the independent labor party in Torono. Canada. Foes aal applications from several hundred labo" nit-n nave al ready been received , and H ' . > expected to have at least .1,000 names before the end of the year. The new Alabama child labor law re cently went into effect. It forbids the employment of children , under twelve years of ago in cotton mills and other in dustries , and children between the ages of twelve and fourteen are not allowed to work full time. In the Clyde shipyards the shadow of the threatened strike has been removed , the men having accepted a reduction of 5 per cent on piece rates , the masters having on their side agreed to forego the proposed reduction of one farthing per hour on time rates. The eleventh annual convention of the Tennessee Federation of Labor , hold re cently , took practical steps looking toward obtaining favorable legislation for labor in Tennessee , and a campaign will bo in stituted to obtain more thorough organ ization of the laboring people. Industrial conditions are greatly im proved in Bridgeport. Conn. Every fac tory has resumed operations some in full force and others to perhaps 7o per cent of their capacity , and some which wore running on short time will increase the number of working hours each week. Plans are being made by the Structural Building Trades Alliance and the Central Labor Union of Spokane. Wash. , to erect a labor temple in that city to cost $7u- 0110. Then * are 7,00. ) union men in Spo kane , and by 40 per cent of thorn taking $2. > worth of stock the amount can bo raised. PREDICTE Dr. J. W. Spencer Says Power Plants Will Change Looks of Niagara Falls. GBEAT SHRINKAGE PROBABLE. Lower Level of "Whole Lake System May Come from Tapping Stream. Effect of Chicago Canal. Dr. J. W. Spencer , the British scient ist , who was commissioned by the co- logical survey of Cnnada to make an investigation of the Niagara Falls pn > l > - lein. discussed in an interesting manner the effect of the utilization of its water by power plants upon the scenic beauty of that natural wonder. At the in stance of the American Civic Associa tion Dr. Spencer appeared before- the House rivers and harbors committee and presented facts and figures to show what effect the request of tlje Ontario Power Company for a franchise to use -IU,000 cubic feet of water per second would have on the falls. It was contended by Dr. Spencer that this is from 20 to 2. > per cent of the discharge of Niagara river and it would greatly impair the characteris tics of the whirlpool rapids ; lower the river bed up to the falls , break up the. surface rock at the foot of the Ameri can falls and Goat island and thereby cause a more rapid recession of the L-orseshii ! . "As the beginning of these rapids is marked by a rim over which the Howe o * water is already thin upon the east ern halt' , " said Dr. Spencer , "the di version of the water will drain that portion of the upper rapids with the ef fect of destroying about N > o feet of the eastern side of the great horseshoe and breaking up the American falls into separate streams. By this shrink age of the water the total length of ' " . " - ' , } * , " h'S/ * " > * y * < * Jt4i > ? - V v : ft ; - 4 g ? > V " ' ' ' 'i ' > /v i > .

This diversion of the water will produce a shrinkage of the horse shoe , so that what remains will be en tirely on the Caadian side of the boun dary lino. "On account of the lowering of the water in the basin above the upper rapids it will increase the slope of the river so that the surface of Luke Erie will be lowered by thre feet. Again , the lowering of Lake Erie will in the same manner lower Lakes Huron and Michigan. Already with a partial use Lake Erie has been lowered ten inches , but this is not apparent to the superfi cial observer owing to tha high water which 'has prevailed during the last four years and especially the last two years. "But this condition cannot be expect ed to continue. This amount of lower ing is partly due to the Chicago canal , which at present is taking 5,000 cubic- feet a second , or about half wliat it is allowed. In connection with the calcu lations for repairing the 'harbors ' and canals damaged the United States en gineers calculated that to increase the depth even one foot would cost over ? 12.000,000.
