Tho first number of tho Columbian
Magnxliie was Issued In l'hlladolphln
la 1784. In It the editor, having a
vision of the news of the country In
1850, prophesied tho following news
dispatch: "Boston, April 30 At length
the canal across tho isthmus of Dnrlcu
Is completed. It Is nbout sixty miles
long ami half a inllo broad. First
rate vessels of war can with ease sail
through. Tho cost hns been about live
hundred thousand dollars. Two ves
sels sailed through on tho twentieth of
January Inst, boiiua for Canton, in
China." Will nny ono dnro to proph

' Tliero Is essentially no difference be

And no better than this chief clerk lire

accepted gifts of stock In various com

When In Provence, a new French
steamship, was about half-way across
tho ocean on Its maiden trip, tho wlro
leas telegraph operator nt Poldhu,
Cornwall, was sending to It the latest
news of the Han Frnnclsco earthquake.
The message was Interrupted by news
about the explosion of gasoline lu the
sewers of New York. Tho oiverntor on
board ship was surprised when he
lour net 1 that tho New York nows came
from the wireless station on Capo Cod.
This Is Interesting lu two ways. It
shows the stute of perfection of wire
less telegraphy, and also the kind of
news which Is sent by It to tho ships
at sea. One would think that passen
gers on the great deep would prefer
Hews about anything elso than disas

Tho new world language, Esperanto,
seems to have already won more advo

ufactured language, however, seems to

purees would be touched would bare
maintained a discreet silence and the
general public would not have been
stirred to action. There would bare
been no factory or child labor legisla
tion If it had not been clamored for.
The packers are Improving conditions
lu their houses. They object to tho
clnmor that has been raised, and say
that If they had been told quietly of
evils that ought to be remedied they
would hnvo attended to tho matter.
Perhaps they might have dnuo so, hut
gcnernlly tho persons who gently sug

expensive Improvements are told to
mind their own business. Tliero nro
somn desirable reforms which aro un
attainable merely becauso sevcral'men
with strong lungs nro not shouting for
them and giving highly colored ac
counts of dreadful conditions which
would disappear If tho reforms were
Introduced. Attention was called twen
ty years ago to many of the Ilfo Insur
ance abuses which hare recently been
exposed. The statements wcro not
lusdc vociferously enough to catch tho
'public ear, and the house cleaning In
the companies was left for the "ago of
clamor." It Is true that crnnka, vis
ionaries, pseudo reformers, and mis
chief makers nro clamoring for unwlso
or vicious legislation as loudly as gen
uine reformers aro nsklng for nocdod
legislation. They attack Imaginary
evils as strenuously as tho others do
real evils. Hut tho false reformers nro
no more noisy In this ago than they
have been lu preceding ages. The pub
lic Is not lu tho habit of taking for
gospel all thnt It hears from Irresponsi
ble Individuals. It usually remains un
moved by their clamor and heeds only
that of persons whom It looks on as
measurably responsible. Society can
not get nlong without clnmor. It Is
the great agent for tho removal of
abuses. Those who complain tho most
of Its strident, discordant voice aro tho
oiuw who are directly or Indirectly In
terested lu tho continuance of the bad
conditions against which 'clamor Is rais
ed. Thus railroad men think there has
been nil unnecessary clnmor against
railroad management. Deep seated evils
cannot be cured by whispering against
them.

Old Stone Well MoTed.
The residents of Hnlubrldgo are much
excited over a reiuarkoblo landslide
which has taken place on the south sldo
of that vlllago during tho last few days,
for sections of tho hill continue to slide
away nt Intervals. To slide Is on what
Is known as Iltgglns hltr, where n stone
quarry has been operated for many
years.
The hill was over forty feet high, and
a great deal of vnlunhlo rock had Ihmmi
removed from It during the last few
years, but tho greater part of the
broken stone and earth has Ih-cii dump
ed on tho hillside. The recent wet
weather cnused this to loosen and a
portion of tho hill counuenced to slide
on Thursday night nnd has been going
down ever since,
A mud roadway, which was used by
teams to bring down tho stone, was en
tirely obliterated, but tho remarkable
part of tho slide Is that nu old stone
well which, was on tbo top of tho hill
slid down the embankment for a dis
tance of twenty-two feet and was uot
destroyed.
Tho well, which Is sixteen feet deep,
hns alwnys had from twelve to fifteen
feet of water In It and there Is an old
windlass on the top. As has tuvn
stated, that well slid down tho sldo of
tho hill, windlass, stono and water, and
It did not even cause turbldness of tho
water. Tho windlass, which Is nearly
worn out, appears ns good to-day as It
was before the well moved. Chllllcotho

An accident which Is described as
without precedent In the history of
diving opcrutlons has been tho subject
of magisterial' Inquiry at Bluioustown.
l'wo divers, Krumlug and Macphull,
were at work nt some levels on the now
dockyard works at Slmonstown. They
wero working nt a depth of about fifty
feet, nnd, though they did uot go down
together, they met under water, nnd
were, It appeared (roin tho evidence,
discussing by signs the position In re
jnrd to tho levels on which they were
working.
According to tho statement of tho
turvlvor, Mncphall, ho saw his com
panion's helmet suddenly tly off. In
this despcrato position tho drowning
man clung to Macphull, who gave tho
ilgnal to tho boat overhead to haul In,
ind tho two men wero drawn up to
ivlthln ten feet of tho surface. At this
point the 'hauling ceased, tho men "In
tho boat being unablo to raise the
henry weight further, and Mucphntl
ivns compelled to loose his hold of his
drowning comrade, who sank to the
bottom. Tho other uiati reached the
boat, and Immediately went down
again, but Krnmlng was lying faco
downward on tho bottom, and wns dead
when they Anally got him to the sur
face. No explanation was forthcoming of
bow It was possible for the man's hel
met to conio unfastened. It was stated
to have been adjusted properly when
ho entered tho wnter, nnd tho two
divers wero said to hare been on per
fectly good terms, no qtiHtlon nn to
tho possibility of foul play being
raised. The verdict was simply thnt
tho man was drowned, but the magis
trate confessed that tho manner In
which tho helmet became unfastened re
mained n mystery. Capo Town Corre

COOL BREEZES
ON HOT DAYS
No matter how sultry or uncomfort
able the day, an ELECTRIC FAN will
insure comfort for the business man at
his desk for his employes at their
workfor the customers in his store
and for the entire household at his
home.
The cost of all this SUMMER COM
FORT is a mere trifle. A 16-inch fan
can be operated at a cost not to ex
ceed one cent an hour, and a 12-inch
fan can be run for even less. Think
fo ten hours of solid comfort for less
than ten cents.
Keep your store cool and breezy and
your customers will find shopping a
pleasure, and your store an inviting
place in which to linger. ELECTRIC
FANS will increase your business,
whether it be a restaurant, an ice
cream parlor, a dry goods emporium
or an iron foundry.
