A CATHEDRAL
Operations are actively In progress
for saving Winchester Cathedral, one of
tho most fnrnous uf England's ancient
fanes. Lecturing before the Royal so
ciety In London the other day, Francis
Fox. a noted engineer, described tllto
work that Is being carried on.
It has been ascertained that almost
tho whole cathedral stands on a bed of
reat, which Is In some parts eight feet
hick. Owing to the compression of this
substance settlements of the most seri

me venerable edlrloe Is to lie preserved
j it will be necessary to excavate the
poat and provide in Its place a solid
sub-foundation. Tho south transept, for
example, is more than four feet out of
the perpendicular, and ominous cracks
are apparent.
To quote Mr. Fox, "thff cathedral Is
doomed unless It Is underpinned, and
that without ilolay."

the Mexican drawn work of the south
very little attempt is made by Amer
cans to produce high grade lace. On
the other hand, many cities on the
continent, such as Nottingham, Calais
and Plauen, depend largely upon tho
manufacture of lace for their employ
ment. The city of Plauen last year pro
duced embroidery lace to an estimated
value of 70,000,000 marks (a mark
equals 2S.8 cents). Of this only about
one- fifth Is retained In Germany and
tho rest Is exported to other countries,
especially the United States and Eng
land. The modern work may bo said to date
from 1857, when the first hand machine
for making embroidery was iniroaucea
from Switzerland, but It was not until
1881, when Herr Blckel. at Plauen,
originated tho Idea of embroidering on
tulle, that the specialty was started
that has since made Plauen famous. The
idea of embroidering on net was later
followed by that of embroidering on a
material to be chemically removed so
as to leave only the emDroiderea lace
Itnalf
In considering lace work In the
Plauen district it may be noted that
lace can be made by three separate
methods, being known as needle, pillow
and machine.
Neodle-laco Is made with the needle
by hand, and lace so made was called
in am times "needle" or -"DOint" lace.
Pillow laco is made by Interweaving by
hand tho various threads arouna pins
stuck In a pillow. Machine made laco
Is a quite recent development, but em
braces u good many systems.
Hand embroidery Is still employed in
upper Vogtland, nnd Is made with either
a regular sewing needle or with the
tambour needle. It Is made on a cotton
or linen ground, yoth needle ana pmoW
lace are occasionally to ho found also
though only to a limited extent. The
manufacture of hand embroidered
blouses and robes, also of the so-called
Battenberg" articles little tapes

flourishes In this section.

of various colors and spangle made
made from a mixture of gelatine and

The Swiss operative is more skilled i

wages In this lino are smaller. From
figures obtained at both centers in re
garu to this industry It would seem
that the German worker receives the
sifme number of marks that the Swiss
worker does francs (a franc equals 19 3

HOW MANY JAWSTERS

(Ilert New by Longest Lensed Wire.)
New York, Aug. 8. How many Taft
Sherman spellbinders phall be em
ployed, what they shall say and what
they shall be called, wre the themes
of a long conference between Chairman
Hitchcock and Chief Iivpont of the He
publican national commute speakers to
day. It was agreed mat within the next
fm-re ;iro wlnole universities that
have a lesser scope than these leading
colleges of agrioul ture. These institu
tions mean not one lota less than tho re
directing of the practices and ideals
of country life, and they are today mak
ing the greatest slnele contribution to
constructive pedagogical policies, an 1
for tho very good reason that they deal
with the commonplace and fundamental
facts and necessities of life.
Aside from teaching the technical
farts of farming, the leading ones of
these Institutions have departments In
such subjects as rural engineering,
landscape gardening, rural economy,
rural educntlon; and the fundamental
sciences and arts must be added. In
other words, the colleges of agriculture
are aiming not only to send persons
bacjt to farms but to train leaders for
tho entire public service so far as it
directly affects the open country.
It is strange that the species of criti
cism to which I refer speaks only of
graduates. "How many. If any," the
editorial asks "of the graduates of
these Institutions ever return to the
farm, and to what extent, if any, do
we perceive the effect or influence of
their education upon the agricultural
conditions of the section?"
Every one knows that the graduates
aro a small part of the entire student
body of any institution. Those who do
not complete the course are none the
loss members of the Institution and
carry Its influence abroad. From the
agricultural colleges they are likely to
go back to the land, for tho public ser
vice positions usually are not open to
them. Most of these colleges nave
short courses, from which the students
go Into farming, and they also con
duct many kinds of extensive work on
the farms.

prizes If they came in his way.
The statement that "not one of them
returns to the farm" is not worth
much consideration. There aro as many
graduates of the leading agricultural
colleges going Into agriculture as there
are graduates of colleges of law going
Into law, or of colleges of medicine be
coming physicians. It Is Important that
there be a laity educated In law and
medicine, and equally In agriculture.
The editorial seems to eonvey the Idea
that these colleges are to carry most of
the responsibility of tho whole agricul
tural condition of the south. The condi
tion of agriculture Is the result of a
long line of social and economic causes.
It has come about slowly. The phe
nomena of it are worldwide. To expect
thnt a few colleges one In each state
within the period of some 40 years can
arrest an 1 change these conditions Is a
marvlous example of faith.
These colleges are putting forth great
efforts In the Interest of the common
people. Thev are trying to meet great
nitmberB of very difficult questions, and
thev have been doing It In the face of
opposition and misunderstanding. This
opposition no longer comes from farm
ers, in my experience. These Institu
tions are meeting a great issue cour
ageously, and what they need and de
serve from all the people Is help.
