TOPICS OF
I THE TIMES.
Tbo greatest book of the century, anys
an exchange, Is the check book.
Now that even telephoning without
wires Is spoken of, there's certainly
something In the nlr.
It must be quite unhealthful to live
over 100 years, Judging from the wuy
pcrions above the age are dying off.
The general Impression seems to bo
that the world's nineteenth-century
run was n very fair accomplishment.
A vaudeville trust has been organ
ized, but thero Is little reason to bopu
that It will throw out any of the old
jokes.
Does Ignatius Donnelly know abso
lutely now whether there really wn a
Iliiconliin cipher In Mr. Bhnkspcnro'u
plays or not?
Instead of giving the expression a
bicycle llavor by remarking a man has
wheels, the up-to-diito terms Is he's off
ou his automobile. '
The man who Invented the photo
graphic lllm died the other day in Now
Jersey. To the uninitiated this may
ceni like a thin excuse for fame.
Pcoplo are so Impressed with the
woudrous possibilities of the new
century they are asking whero will they
end. About the only answer nt hand Is
they'll end In precisely u hundred years
from date.
It conveys a rather striking Idea of
tho growth of the country In imputa
tion to consider thnt the two States of
Iowa and Minnesota contain together
more Inhabitants than did tho country
over which Washington beenmo rreI
dent In 1781).
With a man deatl from being hanged
In a Joke and n woman killed by sit
ting down nt n chair that was pulled
away, wo do not need a dltln't-know-lt-wos-loaded
case to remind us that some
folk are getting Just too funny for any
thing but the penitentiary.
Tho llrst American deep-sea cable
was laid liutt summer neroH one of the
broad Alaskan buys, aud the work of
continuing the connecting land line up
tho Yukon valley Is now going forward.
Iron masts are used lu place of timber.
A hole la chopped In the eternal Ice,
nd tho polo soon llrmly set by pouring
a little water arouud It Into tho hole.
This rapidly congeals, and unless dis
turbed lu some other way will remain
frozen forever. Evidently, "unstable a
water, (lion nhalt wot excel," was not
.poKvn of Alniknl
Heredity does not determine courage,
or Its opposite, but the constitutional
tendency may bo dourly marked
through generations. A recent rescue
of shipwrecked persons off (Irnnd Ma
tutu U the subject of a report from our
consul at St. John, New llrunwlck.
During n period of more than seventy
ttvo ycarH, grandfather, father aud sous
of n certain family have repeatedly
saved life or piloted vessels out of dan
ger. It Is said that the Canadian gov
ernment Is to give the rescuers suitable
testimonial. Tho whole world Is a
debtor to Its heroes of peace. To
strengthen tho courageous purpose of
others by bruvo doing or endurliig Is
to fultlll one purkite of living.
It cannot possibly "mnko n mnn" of
a boy to pour a peppery sauce down his
throat; to pour hut greasu ou his feet;
to pull him at night out of bed Into tho
dirt and mlro of tho utreet; to compel
him to persist lu n gesture or movement
till ho faints from agony; to make him
stand on his head lu a bathtub, or rldo
logs ami slug hcusclcss verses; to goad
him Into offensive replies nnd then
challenge him to tight a higher-class
man of more experience, with tho re
mit of being knocked out by a blow
In tho stomach and dlsllgurcd with cuts
about tho face; to bedevil him night
and day so that his nerves shall be un
strung and study and success In exam
inations will become Impossible, cutis
lug him to bo expelled finally.
Au Illustration of the present eager
ttetts of practically all nations for
oceanic Islands Is furnished by Franco
In Its attempt at Introducing sheep-ruls-lug
ou Kergueleu Island, about half
way between Africa and Australia.
These new sheepruleis will bu uearer
tho south pole than any other l'ucltlc
Islanders and the most southerly people
on an oceanic Inland. Tho Island of
Kergueleu for many years was claimed
by both Hrltlsh and French geogra
phers, but as It was not supposed to bo
of any special value no steps wore
taken by either government for the for
mal occupation of the lonely Isle. In
I Mill Franco formally annexed tho Isl
and, owing to accounts from the
Trench Island of Ueuulou, Inhabitants
of tho hitter found that Kergueleu had
mi abundance of llttli, that It was a re
port for sea lions, valuable on account
of their oil; that there were n number
of good harbors, that lignite for fuel
had been found. Moreover, us the Isl
and lies near the sailing route between
Australia, tho Kast Indies aud Chinese
waters, It would bo n good place for a
tpply station. Although the annual
temperature Is only 10 or 1" degrees
nbove the freezing point thero Is n strip
or zone of grass on the Island, and
' now the attempt will be made to begin
the sheep-ralslug Industry. If this can
bo combined with the other advantages
there will nt least bo a chance forhnrdy
colonists to nmko a living on this other
wise de.solatc Isle.
A novel case has been decided by a
New York court. A passeiger brought
suit against the New York Central
Itallroud for being deprived of his seat
In the car. The question Involved was
whether a mnn, when he puts his valise
or any hand baggage Into a seat, there-
by reserving t for his own occupancy,
Is legally and morally entitled to It.
The court decided that when a passen
ger buys a ticket he presumes that he
Is to got a seat, and unless there Is
some unusual condition he Is legally en
tilled to It. If he enters an ordinary
coach where no seats are reserved and
there Is no trainman to usher him to a
seat, It Is the custom of railway com
panies to allow the passenger to choose
his own seat. This practically amounts
to n regulation of the company. There
fore, the court ruled, If a person occu
pied a sent and then for any reason
left It without In some way marking
It as reserved by himself nnd returned
to And It occupied by nnother passen
ger, bo has no right to ask that passen
ger to give up the sent. If, however,
ho leaves his cane, umbrella or hand
bag In IiIh seat when he goes to the
platform to buy a paper, or for any
purpose, and flnds his baggage moved
nnd tbo sent occupied by another, he
has a legal right as well as moral right
to that scat. The court further held
that a passenger was entitled to but
one sent, and could not reserve one
scat In an ordlnnry coach while occu
pying another scat In a smoking car.
This decides a point which has been
raised thousands of times ou railway
trains.
In Its broadest statement tho prob
lem of tho world's economy Is to de
velop nnd give scope of Individual orig
inality, tho benefits of whose exercise
are registered In Individual character
as well as In objective results. Tho
English economist, Marshall, however,
declares that one-half of tho power of
human Initiative Is suppressed by the
irresent social order, and It Is not dllll
cult to nccept tho statement. The hap
py Instances where Individuals manipu
late circumstances so us to bring out
striking recutita are rendered the more
conspicuous by tho number of other In
dividuals who entirely rail not only of
such achievement but of anything com-
parablo thereto. And yet It Is known
thnt these others gratlc only somewhat
below tho llrst In capacity. Of all tho
stupendous wnsto exhibited In the
physical aud moral world this Is per
hnp the most tragic lu character and
consequences. Vet It Is enacted unob
trusively nnd with Utile dramatic ef
fect It Is typllled by tho circum
scribed career of tho working class boy
who, nt 14 years, passes from tho Influ
ence of tho 'graded" system of educa
tion to 'tend a machine" for ten hours n
day. Tho lot, of tho few who enjoy
mora clastic and extended educational
opportunities and a more adeqtmto Held
of action thereafter Is more In tho pub
lic eye. Theirs, however, Is not the lot
of "tho great majority." Among the
latter there Is no Inconsiderable pro
portion whoso power of Individual Ini
tiative Is but meagcrly developed nnd
whose potential contribution to the
world's enterprise Is nover realized.
Thero can be no doubt that the domi
nant aim of the century which has Just
closed has been commercial rather than
humanistic. It has been the century
of wealth-mnklug. It has launched an
entire series of world's fairs. It has
established free puhiy schools aud
abolished slavery, both of which acts
mean accelerated material develop,
incut. It has built great cities with
their lack of art. It has gone haltingly
forward with Its newly demanded fac
tory laws. It has neglected perso s us
conscious objects. It has trusted for
salvation to the Instinct of gain. It has
perhairs with some twinges of conscience-assured
all men that the cur
rent waste of tlesli and brain was In
ovltnblo aud that there could bo no bet
ter way. The problem of this century
Is to work out that higher economy lu
which there shnll not only be n still
better directed effort to effect material
saving but In which tho emphasis shall
Iks shifted from tho material product to
tho huiunn agent In which social ad
vance rather than the Instinct of profit
making or even of vast organization
shall more effectually dictate action.
This doea not mean the retarding of
material progress. Quite tho contrary.
Tho better the mnn the hotter his prod
uct. And a century whose conscious
effort shall be to make all existing prog
tvss converge upon tho development of
Its pcoplo nnd upon Insuring scope to
their capucltles will realize n peculiar
iiuullty tin profusion of productive ex
precision. llrltisli War unioo Methods.
