SHAW URGES ENGINEERING Conservation of the Natural Resources Could Thus Be Accomplished. EXPLAINS GREAT ANNUAL LOSS Bill for Government Aid is Now Pending Before Congress. WHAT THE EXPERIMENT STATIONS WOULD DO Investigate sanitation, drainage, river control. load and pavement construction. Watch river control, light, heat and power supply. Check habit of waste arising from neglect or ignorance. DEAN HOWARD BURTON SHAW of the Department of Engineer ing in the University of Missouri lkdieve- engineering experiment stations oiler the solution for the problems of con-erving forests and other natural re sources. He thinks such a station should be established at the University here. When, in answer to the invitation of President Roosevelt, the Governors of the states, members of Congress, and many prominent educators met in Washington last May to discuss the question of the conservation of the nat ural resources of the United States, Dean Snaw read a paper on ''The Pres ervation of Our Natural Resources." in which he made a plea for economy in the consumption of lumber, coal, and water. In an interview with a reporter for the University Missourian he gave his reasons for the suggestion as to engineering stations as follows: Americans Are Wasteful. '"We Americans are a patriotic and rather boastful people, and oftentimes we parade our patriotism rather than justify it. The truth is that it is our unparalleled resources rather than our resourcefulness that makes us, in many respects, the greatest nation the world has ever seen. Although we have de veloped wonderfully, we have been wasteful and have been drawing on our natural resources until our supply is nearly exhausted. "For example, our forests are nearly gone, and the price of lumber is soar ing. It is true that, 'Scarcity leads to an advance in price, and the demand may Ihj lessened accordingly.' Owing to the greater strength, convenience, and sometimes lower cost, steel, stone, brick, and concrete have faken the place of wood to a large extent, but not enough to prevent the steady in crease in the price of lumber. How Forests Are Destroyed. "Another reason for this scarcity is wastefulness. This nation has literally giown tip in luxury. Out of the very abundance of these resources we have developed indifference to economy and the habit of waste. We have destroyed our forests for a mere pittance of the lumber they would yield, and we have allowed forest fires to burn more lum ber than we have used in the building of our homes or in the industries; but if this is continued we will suffer. 'Meanwhile, through the destruction of the forests about the sources of important streams and the improper cultivation of these sloping lands, the fertile soil is washed away from the fields where it is needed and deposited in the streams and harbors from which their continued removal will cost an enormous sum. We are thus grad ually but surely destroying the value of our great water resources for power, for irrigation, and for navigation pur poses. This fertile soil and genial cli mate have fumi-hed food enough for the nation and to spare, and so lux urious are the habits developed by this overproduction that it is sometimes said that we waste food enough to sup ply another nation as large as our own. "Criminal Waste of Water." "But it is not with regard to onr forests alone that we should be alarmed. The criminal waste of coal and water, which furnish us with heat, light, pow er, and irrigation, is appalling. "Water, the most vauable of all our mineral resources as a source of power, i- being wasted day after day and year after year to the extent of millions of horse-power. As the essential factor in all irrigation work, it is Wing wasted by use to excess in many instances; but on a much larger scale and to the value of hundreds of millions of dollars it is being allowed to go to waste year after year by not being used at all; (Continued on Third Pate.) STATIONS TO SOLVE WASTE PROBLEMS STAR TUNG FA CTS WHICH SHOW I NEED FOR ENGINEERS' WORK Forests are nearly depleted, and prices of lumber are soaring. Waste of forests and improper cultivation of sloping hinds is destroying vilue of water resources for power, irrigation and navigation. Forest fires burn more lumber than is Used in building or industries. More than 30,000,000 horse-power of water is wasted annuallv. Supply of antraeite coal will be exhausted at present rate in 00 years. In developing electric lights, 994-5 per cent of coal is usually wasted. MRS. VANTINE WINS SUIT AGAINST BUTLER HEIRS Witnesses Identify "Child of Mystery" in Will Case Victory for Her When Evidence of Mother's Death is Given. Mrs. Lizzie Vantine established her identity as a daughter of John Butler, "King of Blackfoot," and her right to one-sixth of his .$73,000 estate, under a decision by .ludge Bradley in the cir cuit court here at noon today. Not a witness was introduced in be half of the defense. The decision was greeted by a demonstration in the courtroom, friends of Mrs. Vantine hug ging and kissing her. An appeal mayq be taken. "I'm so happy I can hardly talk," Mrs. Vantine told a reporter for the University Missourian after the decis ion. "The greatest joy is in having a legal record to show who I really am." After all the witnesses for Mrs. Van tine had testified Judge Bradey said his opinion had been reached, and gave it with the consent of lawyers on both sides. First Wife Proved Dead. The plaintiff this morning gained a strong point by getting proof before the court that the first wife of John Butler is dead. Mrs. John D. Roland, of Co lumbia, testified that in her presence John Butler, while joking with her mother about marrying again, said his first wife was dead and that he did not know what had become of the child. This proof of Mrs. Butler's death al lows all the testimony in regard to what Mrs. Butler said about herself to lie admitted as evidence. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Wetmore, the fos ter parents of Mrs. Vantine, were placed on the stand this morning and told of the early life of Mrs. Vantine and how they came to adopt her. The Wetmore family Bible was brought into court but it is not known whether it will be admitted as evidence. Mrs. Vantine Weeps. During the testimony of her foster father Mrs. Vantine left the court room and wept in the corridor. Among the witnesses who knew the facts of the early life of Lizzie Wet more, now Mrs. Vantine, were Eliza $40,000 WAGED ON ELECTION RESULT Bets in St. Louis Have Broken All Records, Politicians Say. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21. While you can not be disfranchised if you bet on the result of the general election Nov. 3. you may be prosecuted and required to pay a line of $50, according to Secretary Ells permann of the Board of Election Com missioners. Ellspermann said Monday that the election board had found that, contrary to popular impression, a clause of the election law disfranchising voters on ac count of election bets was repealed by the State Legislature at the time of the enactment of the Nesbit law in 1809. The Law Against Betting. Section 2211 of the Revised Statutes, fixing a penalty for election bets, is as follows: "Every person who shall bet or w-ager any money or other valuable thing on the result of any election authorized by the constitution and laws of the United States or of this state or on any vote to be given at such election, or who shall know ingly become stakeholder of any such bet or wager shall be punished by a fine not exceeding ?50." Miller, who testified to having known the mother and child and seen the scar on the mother's arm; S. S. Bassett. Barnett Farthing and Robert Farthing, who rode with a woman who told them she was the wife of John Butler be tween Paris and Mexico in a hack. She told them she was going to the Wet more home to visit her child. The last named witness is the man who gave the clue to the lawyers which connected Mrs. Vantine with this supposed child of John Butler. Many other witnesses testified to having known Mrs. Vantine in Paris. Testimony as to Scar. Evidence was introduced yesterday afternoon to prove that John Butler in a fit of temper shoved his first wife into the fire, from which her arm and face were burned in such a way that the leaders of the arm were drawn. A scar was left on the side of her face. Several witnesses testified to this, among whom were Mrs. Frankic Martin, who said she had helped dress the arm. Green Forbes, Mrs. L. Booth and Miss Sally Pendleton testified to having seen the scar on Mrs. Butler's arm. Isaac Stone testified that John Butler had told him of this burn. Other witnesses said that Mrs. Butler was driven from home before her child was born. Mrs. John Butler testified that she knew nothing of any other children of Mr. Butler's save those mentioned in the will. All the testimony of persons who knew Mrs. John Butler in Boone was bi ought in yesterday and depositions of some absent witnesses were filed. Not Related to McGrath. In the account of Mrs. Lizzie Van tine's coming suit, printed Oct. 15 in the University Missourian, it was said that Jane Gordon, John Butler's first wife, was a cousin of Michael McGrath, for mer secretary of state. Mr. McGrath writes that this is an error. There was no relationship nor kinship, he says. Mr. McGrath is now a St. Louis lawver. This law, however, has never been enforced and political leaders, who are laying heavy wagers on their Demo cratic and Republican favorites regard it as a dead letter. At all the downtown clubs and cafes betting on the state, national and St. Louis city election is general. The amount of the wagers, too, are reported to le much larger than were made on any preceding election. Taft continues to be a four-to-one fa vorite. A well-known turf expert says that .$40,000 is at stake in St. Louis on the presidential contest. Two to One on Cowherd. Those who favor Bryan prefer to bet on the outcome of the Missouri elec tion. Even-money wagers are being made that Bryan carries Missouri over Taft by 30,000 plurality, while odds of two to one that Cowherd, Democrat, will defeat Hadley, Republican, for gov ernor, are going lagging. This is regarded by the sporting fra ternity as a sign of weakness in the Republican state ticket, but the Repub lican leaders answer that they exhaust ed all their letting funds 10 days ago. They prefer, they say, to put their spare cash in the campaign. At Republican headquarters these bets were made by outsiders Monday: Twenty-live dollars even that Bryan polls 20,000 more votes than Taft in this state at the general election. Twenty-five to fifty dollars that Taft and Hadley carry the election Nov. 3. Chris Brockmiller, who will handle probably more election bets than any other sporting expert, still regards the Stone-Folk senatorial contest as the best even-money bet of the day. Brockmil ler, however, is asking for the Stone end of the proposition. COUNCIL IN DARK ON WABASH DELAY City Lights Go Out and Railroad Crossings Are Not Mentioned. DR. WATERS PRESENTS PETITION University Dean Requests Water Main in Southeast Part of Town. What impressed the City Council most at its meeting in the city hall last night was not the failure of the Wa-ba-h to build erodings in Machir place, but the imperfection of the municipal electric light service. Just as Mayor Clinkscales was about to call the meet ing to order, the lights went out. They remained out for several minutes. A small group gathered in the corner and transacted business by the flicker ing light of a match, while others sat and smoked and discussed the advisa bility of sending out after candles. When the lights finally came on, the Mayor announced an open meeting and called for anyone who had business to lay before the council. No mention was made during the meeting of the Machir place crossings or any other railroad matters. Citizens Oppose Street Paving. A remonstrance was presented from citizens living on Sexton road for re lief from macadamizing that road. Ac tion was taken favorable to the re monstrance. Dr. II. J. Waters, dean of the College of Agriculture, presented a petition for a six-inch water main from the corner of University and College avenues south to Hudson avenue, and west to Hitt street. The citizens living within this territory who signed the petition agree to pay one year's water and light bill in advance in order to furnish the city with ready money, thereby enabling it to begin work at once. If the main is laid, it will greatly in crease the fire protection afforded the Rothwell gymnasium and the buildings on the Universitv farm. Mavor Clink- scales assured Dr. Waters that the pe tition would receive consideration, and said he thought the main would be put in as soon as possible. Telephone Franchise Asked. Application was made for a franchise for the use of the streets of the city by a mutual telephone company. A com mittee was appointed from the council to meet a committee from the tele phone company and di-eilss the condi tions. A bill for $15,200.58 for paving which has recently been completed was or dered paid. Regular bills were allowed and action was taken on small side walk improvements. 200 ARE KILLED EOREST Relief Train is Wrecked in Michigan Loss Will Be $1,000,000. Br United Press. DETROIT. Mich., Oct. 21. Heavy o-s of life has resulted from terrible forest tire- which are sweeping four counties in northeastern Michigan. The numlMT of dead is reported to have reached 200. A relief train carrying people away from Metz was wrecked and burned. The conductor and engi neer are the only known survivors. The towns of Millersburg, Bolton and Pula-ki are destroyed. Cheybogan, Athen and half a dozen other towns are in great danger. The whole copper forest district has been destroyed. The loss will reach a million dollars. RAILROAD IN HOLY CITY Electricity in Mahomet's Tomb Another Eastern Surprise. Of all the surprises which the East has sprung upon the West of late, none seems more incredible than that the Holy City of Medina has been invaded b the railroad, and that the Tomb of Mahomet is now illuminated by electri city. Such, however, is the case. The Medina section of the HcJjaz Railway was opened recently and on the same occasion the lighting of the sanc tuary by electricity was inaugurated.

S. E. Kiser. SOCIETY Prospective Guests for D. A. R. Conference and Hostesses. THE Ames. Wash- Z. T. AM) THE MISSOURI. Mr. Taft probably hit the sentiment of the majority of the people of the middle west, when he declared, before the Deep Waterway Conference at Chi cago that we want a "complete system of inland waterways."' Yet President Kavanaugh's statement: '"Let us begin with the Mississippi and let other rivers and other sections follow as soon as pos sible" undoubtedly found support among the 3,000 delegates. This fake notion of economy, Mis- sourians will not be long in setting to rest. The commercial value of such a cross-state highway precludes the idea of leaving the Missouri out of the first great plan of river improvement. If it comes to states paying part of the cost, Missouri would be fully compensated in lands reclaimed from frequent inunda tions. Now we have it that engineers be lieve if the Mississippi alone is improv ed, its channel will have to be dredged constantly for Missouri silt and be guarded by a line of tugs against Mis souri snags. There can be but little doubt that this would bo the true state of affairs. The proper course is to im prove the Missouri. Kansas, Nebraska and the other states of the Northwest would welcome the move and could be counted upon to do their part further up. The cost of confining the Missouri mile for mile would not be much greater than that of controlling the Mississippi; and there is 110 reason why penny-wis dom should obtain in matters -o inti mately connected with public welfare. Let the old road across Missouri be lebuilt! Not even the railroad men object. They realize that it is time for good canals. Already the railroads are crowded almost to the limit. They are complaining of lowered dividends, when there are some clashes of freight that ought to have still cheaper rate. Grain, for instance, must have less handling if it is longer to compete in the mar kets of other countries Far-seeing railroad men see in the future a state of congestion we are likely to overlook. How is the question of transportation to le met Since the railroads con fess their inability we shall have to turn to canals, a Europe ha- done. The time for waterways is at hand, and let the ditch from the lake to the Gulf K- 14 feet or 24. The Missouri, the real Father of the Waters must share in the improvement. Consigned to the verbal inferno by the Bookman are the following popular phrases "Along these lines." "Automobile." "Brainy." Clubman." "Dandy" (as an adjective). "Exclusive" (as a social term). "Gentlemanly." "He (she, it) struck a new note." "In touch with" (except as a techni cal term in military or naval discourse). "Locate" (as an intransitive verb). "Lunch." "Nom dc plume." "Phone," for telephone, cither as noun or verb. "Pleased to meet you." "Social standing." "Stylish." "Sur le tapis." "The four hundred." "Up to date." The Bookman's lessons in etiquette are to continue. They have, somehow, a tinge of snobbishness. A pupil of one of the public schools in Chicago sends this communication: Dear Sir: In our school this morning an amusing dialogue took place. A primary teacher of Chicago, wishing to impress on her pupils the necessity of greater quiet, said: "I am a great deal larger than any of you, yet I don't make any noise when I walk around the room." "Perhaps,'' remarked little seven-vear- old Kenneth, "you don't wear shoes." "Oh, yes I do," quicklv replied the teacher; just look. Did you ever see any larger than mine?" Kenneth surveyed them carefully. "Yes," he replied slowly, "once in a show." A French lady living in America en gaged a carpenter to do some work for her at a stipulated price. She was sur prised later to find that he charged more than the price agreed upon. When she attempted to remonstrate with him, however, her English failed her and she said: "You arc dearer to me now than when we were first engaged." Success "I saw the major's wife at her win dow early this morning. She looked 40 years old!" "You must Iks mistaken, your high ness; no woman is as old as she looks in the morning!" Fliegende Blaettcr. Beer vs. Water. The remark of our distinguished ex mayor, foreign tourist and commenta tor on thing abroad ("Dearo" Fitzger ald) that he found the price of a glass of beer ia Germany to le only two cents, while water is ten cents, deserves elucidation. No doubt Itottled mineral water is as cheap and as pure in Ger many as it is anywhere. In German hotels, where foreign tourists most do congregate, the managers have a habit of making water as expensive and as difficult to get as possible. It helps their wine and beer business.

TOLD ACROSS THE BREAKFAST TABLE "The Ashland editor who said after the fire that wiped out the business section of his town, 'We intend to put Ashland back on the map,' hit the Mis souri spirit squarely on the head," be gan the man who reads the University Missourian. "It's the spirit the men who crossed the Mississippi and built Missouri out of the wilderness carried with them. That spirit has made it a great state." "We had an exhibition of it here on Rol lins Field not so very long ago, don't you forget," reminded the red-headed Soph with the wart on his nose. The solicitor for the Oven nodded. "I'll admit for one cheering didn't come so easy to me when Iowa made that touchdown. That 21-to-G score of last year kept bobbing up in my mind, and the words sort o' stuck in my throat, but 1 did the best I could." "Sort o' stunned those JIawkeyes, too; they found they had more things to buck than that Tiger line," the Freshman finished. "Well, winter is on the way," re marked the Junior Medic, glancing at the raindrops trickling down the window pane. "Good thing, too, for these warm nights weren't made for study." "Talking about studying," cut in the football man, "the Scientific Association had a discussion on scientific grading in t.ie Universities. Our system came in for a good deal of attention." "Wait until next June when we begin to give it some attention," the Soph added. "We'll be able to advance a few original pointers ourselves." "At last it has happened," the man who reads the University Missourian said after a pause. "What has J" someone queried. "The Wabash has discovered Colum bia." "Balloon pr airship?" inquired the wag. "Neither. It happened per letter," the reader of the Missourian went on. "Well," the Junior Medic concluded, pushing his chair back, "with a new station promised, two railroads break ing their necks to serve us, the theat rical season finally on and a winning football team, Coumbia can't exactly be called the lost citv anv longer." j?

If one stands upon the stone floor directly beneath the apex of the dome and speaks in an ordinary tone he will hear it repeated and echoed from point to point above his head and the echo sounds loud in the hollow of the dome. In the Courthouse in Minneapolis, Minn., is a similar echo, but more won derful, according to the following ac count of it written by a correspondent from that city: "Minneapolis has the eighth or at least the ninth wonder of the world. Lurking somewhere in the rotunda of its Courthouse is an echo which de fies all the laws of phonetics and ac- coustics by working backward. A series of syllables addressed to this echo wih be returned clearly and distinctly, but reversed in their order. "So far as the public is concerned this phenomenon has only just been discovered, and its discovery was an accident. A man who recently came to .Minneapolis to live was engaged in showing a party of friends through the Courthouse several days ago, when it was suggested that one of the women in the party, a noted vocalist, should sing a few notes to test the accoustic conditions of the rotunda. The sinner was standing then about twelve feet to the west of the statue of the Father of Waters and she sounded four notes of the scale in full tones "do, me, sol, do." Almost immediately the sounds were repeated, and so like in tone that the singer and all of her friends supposed for a moment that some person was imitating her. Other tests showed that the repeti tion of sounds really was caused by an echo, and then it was noticed that the echo was reversed. Instead of coming back in the original order, the syllable uttered last would 1h echoed first, and when the young woman would sing "do, me, sol, do," the echo would reply, "do, sol, me, do." St. Louis Post -Dispatch. Shopping in Columbia. To the Editor of the University MIsour!n- I have wondered whether other womea encounter the difficulties in shopping here that I have? I have shopped in much smaller town and in large cities but I have never encountered saleswomen so irritating u in Columbia dry goods stores. I wonder that the employers do not notice and adjust tfiese things. Such experience make one long to avoid these unpleaa antnesses by shopping out-of-town. I have been shouted at from across the store and from the rear to the middle of the store by saleswomen too indolent or too thoughtless to come any closer or to remain silent until I was within rea sonable speaking distance. In one case in particular I was challenged with "Did you get what you wanted the length of the store after I had made my pur chases and was passing out. Not less irritating is the other ex treme. I have stood and waited at a counter while a saleswoman unconcern edly rolled up dress goods and replaced it on the shelf. Another saleswoman I encountered lolled on the pattern coun ter and did not change position when I asked to see a style book. "It's down there," she vouchsafed me, with an in different side movement of her head toward the right. Another saleswoman and her customer were covering the book with some dress trimmings and I stood helpless. Finally I left without being waited on. Saleswomen can make friends for their business house if they know how to be courteous and tactful. MRS. X. A Reflection. "The late Senator Allison," said a Dubuque lawyer, "was a stickler for personal cleanliness, even for personal elegance. There was no quicker way for a man to get on his black books than to be unshaven, to have the trous ers impressed, the boots unpolished. "We used to have here in Dubuque a decidedly slovenly lawyer. This law yer appeared one afternoon at a meet ing with a rose in his buttonhole. The sight of a rose in the buttonhole of such a sloven excited a good deal of com ment. "I wonder where on earth he got it!" said I. Senator Allison smiled. "'Probably,' said he, 'it grew there.'" Minneapolis Journal. Carnival-Week in the Cities. To the Editor of the University Mlssourlin: Far along in the night the street cleaners are at work so that when Sun day comes no evidence will remain to tell the tale of the reign of carnival which has endured from Tuesday till Sunday of last week in St. Louis," Kan sas City and many other of the larger ciues 01 tne United States. The con fetti is swept up and burned, discarded horns, broken "feather ticklers," false faces, masks, all signs of the "revelry by night" are carried away and made the funeral pyre of an era the like of which comes but one a year and that once is "carnival week." That week ia the circus day of a large city, but on a grander scale in proportion as the city is larger. Strange, isn't it, that some people do not approve of carnival week? Some people, however, do not approve of cir- I cus day. It interferes with business. Oh, that almighty dollar again! Our pity is with that unfortunate individual whose life is entomlied within the four walls which enclose his business; whose eye can see none of the things in life which are really worth while, whose ear can hear no sound save the elusive jingle of money. Most persons arc glad when carnival 4 week comes.

VIRTUE TRIUMPHANT IN END Deep-Dyed Hypnotist-Villain Falls Before Woman With a Past. Of coiiix: Bessie Mason wasn't buried alive at the Columbia Theater last night, but she had a narrow escape and the audience wai properly thrilled. "To lie lturied Alive" was the tit lo of the play and the audience wasn't quite sure just how it was going to turn out until the deep-dyed villain fell before the re olver of the woman-with-a-past in the Iat act. Then the curtain also fell. Richard Gorton was the name of the il!ain. That wasn't his real name, for he wai all sort-? of a scoundrel and had found it convenient to use several namps. Gorton hypnotized the fair Bc-sie, because Bessie had seen him throw the switch of a train to wreck it, in order that he might rob the dead and wounded, in order that 0, well, he was foiled by Bessie, so it doesn't mat ter what he intended to do. "Unhand Her, Wretch!" To e-capc due punishment for his dire deeds, Gorton threw a hypnotic spell about the heroine and she was about to be buried alive. So the title is ac curate after all. She is about to be buried, when in dashes the sterling young lover, who exposes the past of the xillaiii and compels him to bring Bessie back from the dead, as the pro gram so aptly puts it. Bessie conies back; also there comes in about this time the woman with the past and a revolver and she puts on the finishing touch. Fred C. Stein, who played the part of the village postmaster, was the hit of the evening. ''Lena Rivers'' is the bill for tonight. THE REV.

THE literary market has been flooded during the last few years with de tective stories, and with tales of mystery. There have been so many of these tales that a great number of them have been very similar in nature and construction, and have followed the conventional line of the detective story. Some, however, have been out of the or dinary in plot and construction, as those of Anna Katherine Green, A. Conan Doyle, and others. "The Circu lar Staircase," by Mary Roberts Rine hart, an author comparatively unknown, is of the latter type. This book is highly entertaining. Mot of the action takes place at a large summer estate called Sunnysidc; a small circular staircase in one wing of the house being the principal seat of the mystery. Although the plot in places becomes rather complicated and the author resorts to the conventional secret chamber to clear up the mystery, the story is cleverly worked out, and the mystery is not cleared tip until the last page. The story is narrated in an exceedingly easy and attractive style being told by a rather garrulous spin ster. The characters are well drawn, especially that of Jamieson, the detec tive. The death list is unusually large, five lives being sacrificed in the carrying out of the grim Ponspiracy of Mr. Paul Armstrong, the defaulting banker; but in the modern talc of mystery the higher the death list the more interesting the book. Taking all in all the story is one that will interest the many lovers of detec tive stories. Even the most hardened reader of this class of fiction will find his interest sustained, and himself deep ly interested in the ghostly proceedings at the house at Sunnyside. The illus trations in the book by Lester Ralph arc well done. "The Circular Staircase," by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Illustrations by Les ter Ralph.

WALDO TRENT and Others" is a group of rather clever short stories of life in the American colonies in Italian cities. The reader who cuts the leaves need not read un controlled ravings 'on Italian picture galleries. Waldo Trent is more interest ing than what he sees. He is a breezy, taxable young American delving for the first time into the mysteries of the an cient. He progresses with breathless rapidity from Van Dyke through Dante, the Pelasgians, and the Etruscans; and emerges with Bessie, xvho is a xvide eyed, intense young thing. But Mrs. Madeline K. Pritchard holds the story together by her intense personality. She cares more for the babies rolling on the streets than for any number of Pitti Palaces. She ridicules and shocks Bes sie but at the same time finds a suitable husband for her. "A Coal From The Embers" presents several delicately sketched scandals of one dead poet. The characters of the women are strikingly drawn, but they are placed in the most unfavorable light.

"More important still is the coal ques tion. During the last year the country used considerably more than 400,000.000 tons of coal; during the ten years pre ceding this, the consumption was near ly 3,000,000,000 tons, xvhich approxi mates the aggregate consumption of the seventy years preceding.

B.HART, of Harvard Uni-xcr-ity has contributed the txventy sixth volume of the' twenty-sex-cn xvhich are to constitute the historical series-. The American Nation, noxv be ing published under his editorship. Dr. Hart has chosen for his volume the ad mirable title, "National Ideals Histori cally Traced." In the xx-ork he has considered the events of American history in the light of the achievements and ideals that hax-e caused those ex-ents and that hax-e resulted from them. In each chapter he has shoxvn the ideals at xvork in the making of our history and the ideals that have groxx-n out of our historical experiences. As he puts it in the preface to his volume, he has restated "the ideals and achiex-ements of the American people, illustrated from by-gone extents xvhich shoxv the meaning and extent of national progression." Prof. Hart has made six dix'isions of his book. The first division, including the first and (second chapters, deals xxith the factors of geographic environ ment. He traces in these chapters the conquest of natural barriers, shoxving that the ideals of the American with relation to nature arc his lox'c for a big thing, his general interest in scenery, and his rejoicing spirit of conquest, and the contests of our territorial ex pansion, showing hoxv land is so much a subject of speculation and hoxv ideals of military and nax-al interests hax-e influenced and groxvn out of our terri torial history. The second division takes up the racial and social conditions and includes the next four chapters. The author takes up in these the history of immigra tion and emigration; the dependent races the Indian, the negro and the recently acquired set of Spanish, Haxx-ai-ian and Malay races; the practice of self-government; and the theories of gox-ernment xvhich have influenced and groxvn out of American history. He shows how the free immigation and emi gration has affected American institu used the largest part of its coal supply In the last United States Geological Survey it is estimated that at the pres ent rate of consumption, the supply of anthracite coal xvill be exhausted in t!0 or 70 years, and the supply of bi tuminous coal xvill last about 700 years Waste in Electric Lighting. "To show hoxv coal is often xvas.ed, take for example its use for lighting purposes. Of the coal used in the de Vftapment of electric lights, usually le-s than one-fifth of 1 per cent is actually converted into light, the remaining 01I4-5 per cent licing consumed in the x-arious preliminary formations of en ergy. This waste is appalling, and ev ery possible means should le adopted for reducing it to a minimum, in order that our fuel resources may suffice for the future as xvell as for the present needs of the nation. "With such a question to face, the most plausible plan to undertake is that of the location of engineering ex periment stations ox-er the country and especially where there are already engi neering schools. For instance, a sta tion of this sort xvould be of great im portance to the University of Missouri. We have been making considerable progress towards the establishment of such a station here. Bill Now Pending. "There was introduced into Congress last xvinter a bill extending gox-ernment aid to such stations, but it was laid ox'cr until the next session.

He makes an analy sis of the effect on our ideals of the dependent races, the Indian, straining free government and brutalizing our frontier; the negro, exasperating or alarming the whites; the Filipino, creat ing nexv problems and overturning old ideals. He concludes this division with a treatment of the history of American self-government and ideals of democracy and our theories of government. One of the most interesting divi'Mon of the book is the third. In this, Prof. Hart deals with the history and ideaU of local goxernment, the art of living and the American church. lie attempts to bring out our ideals xxith relation to the organization and results of the xari ous forms of American goxernment. He lays special emphasis upon the ideal of equality in local government; the ideal of a strong federal government, xvhich does not sacrifice local self -government, or a strong national unity; the groxvth and complexity of political parties; the ideals of living, such a- th(w of physical comfort, of luxury, of pleasure and society, and of responsi bility for the weak; the chinch ideals of common purpose, toleration, separa tion of church and state, and the union of science and religion. Beginning xxith the txxelfth chapter. Prof. Hart turns to a consideration of some of the social and economic ac tivities of the American race. He dis cusses the ideals and history of our in tellectual life, of our business life, in xvhich "a square deal" is the ideal of our transportation. In the fifth division, including the seventeenth and eighteenth chapters, the author considers the history and ideals of our external relations our policy of public diplomacy, influence in Asia, lack of consideration of weaker nations, and general ideal of interna tional peace and our history of xvar and order the power of our army and navy and the greater poxver of public opinion. The author ends the volume xxith a pertinent chapter on the future of Amer ican democracy. He shoxvs hoxv the ideals xxiiich founded the democracy and which liax-e grown out of our experiences are sufficiently poxverful to perpetuate it. He considers the fundamental ideals groxving out of man's poxver over nature, the sameness of institutions, social and economic equality of xx-omen, lack of class distinction and the fundamental right of the individual. He shoxx-s some of the failures of democracy, as the tol eration of mediocre men in public life, national lox-e for excitement, and occas ional corruption. But stronger and more lasting than these weaknesses are those ideals xxiiich will make our democracy permanent, the ideals of faith, national rex'erence, public interest, common sense, imagination, and love for an honest man.

While the question of the conserx-ation of our natural re sources would be the most important just at present, other topics of almost equal importance could be taken up.
