"Story hour" Is a new featuro f li brary work among children which has luid marked success at tho Carnegie Li brary of Pittsburg. Children couin to tho building at stated times and listen to stories told by a skilled narrator. In Ilostou tho centennial of tho birth of Hans Christian Anderson was relit brnted last year by a gathering of a largo and Interested audlonce of chil dren at tho Public Library, to whom a lady t(ld Andersen stories. It Is an expedient for providing wholesome en tortajument for chlldron which might well bo adopted by all cities and largo towns. Iceland Is now connected with Europo by cable, and tho King of Denmark is In direct ounmunlcntlcyi with his sub jects on tho northern Isle. Cables are built so fast that It Is dllllcult to keep track of them. There aro alout two hundred and fifty thousand miles of me tallic connection under tho seas of the world, the average cost of which ha been atxuit n thousand dollars a mils A quarter if a billion Is a great sum of money, yet It Is a small price to pay for communication betweon continent which send to each other nn estimated total of six million messages n year. Young men who are wondering what opportunity the world holds out t. them when they leave col lego may !) Interested In aonie figures given In the latest iuhllhed report of the United States Commissioner of Education. The cruuiiilaHloner any that since 181X) there havo tteen created an average of altout u thoiiHaud new college professorship overy year, and more than thirteen hundred new positions In the high schools and ncmleinlea. Thus about twonty.threo hundred new teachers have to lw found annually, without making any allowance for tho retire ment of many hundreds of others on ac count of ago or other disability. It Is apparent that the man who wnhes to Jive the Hoholarly life has ample opjor. tunlty In these days of popular educ.t. tton. lly thoso who havo watched tho rapid growth of tho colleges and universities feara are often expressed that pergonal contact between president and students, Mwccn professors and pupils, will bo lost, If it has not been lost already-; and that so tho best part of a college edu cation will bo forfeited. Tho donulte charge, by a writer In a rocent number of tho Outlook, that In ono college at least this condition has already come to pass, brought out some Interesting cor respondent. Ono woman mentions a professor who not only know all "his boys" while they were under his ln structlou nnd helped them by personal udvlco and friendly social Intercourse, but has kept In touch with overy ono of theui sluco they ' wcro graduated. Ones a year he sends them all a letter, and nearly all of them reply. The at mospbero Is almost llko that of one great family. Tho misfortune of ono Is tho concern of all, and all help to repair It. Other correspondents clto other colleges and other men to show that Intercourse between faculty and students Is growing more Intlmato In stead of more remote; nnd no ono has considered It necessary to cite for overy one knows tho definite system which most of the colleges have for bringing all tho students under the di rect personal Influenco of some of tho professors or other Instructors. Candid graduates of forty or fifty years ago, If they are familiar with present col lege conditions, nearly always admit that the relations to-day aro simpler and more familiar. Tho old-tlmo pro fessor, however beneficent his Influ ence, was too often a man of nustero dignity, which mado him unapproach able. His modern representative may be regarded with less awo, but not with less affection. Ono thing must be remembered : It takes two to form n friendship as well as to mako a quar rel. Tho student must meet advances half-way. If be does, thcro Is llttlo danger In any college, largo or small, that ho will go through tho course friendless or without tho helpful Influ enco of closo contact and acquaintance with "praeses et professorcs." At Intervals of a few years we hear that England Is scraping tho bottom of her coal mines and that In a relatively shyt time her fuel supply will bo ex hausted nnd sho will havo to go out of tho manufacturing business. Still, Ku ffinnil continues to mtno coal In suffi cient quantity for her needs. Lately however, tho nronhots havo been In sistent In their auguries of woe, and they have asserted that this time thore can bo no mistake. Tho exhaustion of tho English coal supply Is In sight. Provldenco appears still to temper the wind to tho shtvn lamb, however, for coincident with thoso gloomy outgiving comes tho statement Hint new coul beds havo been discovered noar Dovir whoso valun Is money Is estimated at $5,000,000,000. leading geologists ay that tho discovery la tho most Import ant slnco tho Norman conquest Thin England Is granted a rosplto. Her man ufactures will not beenmo extinct for lack of fuel not for a while, at least Still, tho prophets of evil continue to prophesy. They calculate that not only tho coal supply of England but of the wholo world must within a certain time bo exhausted and they demand to know what will becomo f humanity then. The question Is interesting, but hardly of contemporary Importance. The anx loua ones concede that thore will be yoars to come and wo may Justly as sumo that we shall not be personally Interested In occurrences that far In the future. Hut even If wo expected t'i live until all tho coal and wood hid boon burned wo should still decline to bo alarmed at tho prospoct Wo have great faith In tho resources of the hu man Intellect. Poo said that tho In genuity of man could not devise a cipher or cryptograph which tho In genuity of man could not solve. We hold the samo opinion with respect to any emergency that may confront tlw human race. Man rises to the neces sities of tits existence. Wbon the fuel that we now havo Is exhausted substi tutes will be found for It The resources of nature are Infinite and they ure at tho disposal of men acute enough to utlllzo them. The harnessing of tho tides alouo would produce enough kiv. er trausformublo Into heat to supply all humanity ten times over. That Is only ono resource; there aro a dozen others. Millionaire lief. Mouammer lley, eon of tho richest man In all Turkey, who will Iki heir to more millions than any other person In tho Ottoman Kmplre, aavo the heir of the sultan, Is In Itostou on business, and before he leaves tho buHlneas men will have something like a cool half million of hla money, while ho will have tous of Iloston's moat Improved shoo and cotton machlnory. There Is nothing about this sleek appearing man of 33 years, with IiIh rotund figure, to Indicate that he Is to be at some time In the future the rich est man In his native land. Ho Is Just as democratic as any of this country's wealthy men, and one wouldn't have to mako a very big stretch of imagination to pick him out aa an American. Mouammer Hey, unlike most of hla fellow countrymen, Is highly educated, and Instead of wasting his father's vast wealth by riotous living he has mas tered the many great Industries that hla father controls, and Is adding to tho fortune. Those who havo come In contact with him say that he Is as keeu as the proverbial Yaukoo busi ness man. Boston Post, Identity Harlu. They were riding through Indiana.
