In Wurtemberg, under the law of March 22, 1895, those who have com pleted the common schools must at tend either a general or an industrial coniinuation school for the period of two years, unless they wish to attend some higher school or receive ade quate private instruction. The work in these schools must cover at least two hours a week throughout the year, or four hours a week during lha winter. The minister of commerce has re ceived an official report of the last census of France, begun in 1901. It shows the population to be 88,961,945, or a gain of only 444,613 in ten years. Comparative tables disclose that there is no other European country in which the population increases so slowly. The percentage of increases in Ger many, Great Britain and Russia is al most a third greater than in France for the same period. Critics of the modern "sky-scrapers," with their frowning steel frames, have predicted that these lofty buildings will be short-lived, and that they are nil destined to crumble away. The fiteel skeletons of these structures are mostly hidden from observation, and no one can tell whether they are in tact or rusting away, but experts con clude. from examination of the frame of one that, has recently been demol ished in New York, that such fears as those mentioned are groundless. In this building, which had stood four years, the only rust in the frame was that acquired during construction. A fan that, gives out, instead of a cooling breeze, a blast of hot air. has been invented by M.de Mare, a Bel gian. The blades are of mica, on which the arranged resistance coils that are electrically heated to a high tempeiature. M.de Mare finds that compressed air absorbs the heat from the coils with great rapidity, and he accordingly incloses his fans in a cas ing with an opening through which the hot blast issues. He is thus en abled to pass through the coils a cur rent which, when the fan is at rest, would melt the tin wire, but which, when it is in motion, does not even make it red-hot. According to estimates of an emi nent civil engineer, the water running from the present land surface of the globe to sea level would produce, if all utilized, 10,340 million horse power, day and night. On the other hand, the present output of coal for a whole years (225,000.000 tons) if so burned as to produce this horse power, could keep it up for only half a day. In oth er words, the world's water power is over 700 times its present available coal power, and can not be used up as the latter can, —a fact which may com fort those who are anticipating with fear the time when our coal supply will have been exhausted. Farmers throughout the United States, especially in regions traversed by swift-flowing streams, are begin ning lo realize that close lo their doors is an opportunity to apply elec tricity to the work on the farm. The old dams along neglected waterways which years ago supplied the small mills with power, are now being re built, and the old mill-races have been dredged and cleared of rubbish. Kach dam and race may yield several horse power; and the generating plants, poles, wires, etc., are simple and inex pensive. The longest and largest cableway is to be constructed on the Argentine side of the Andes mountains by the engineering firm of Adolf llleichert & Co., of Leipsic, Germany. This cable way is to extend from the Chilecito station of the Argentine Northern Railroad for a total distance of 32 miles. Its* termination at this end will be 14,933 feel above sea level, and the engine station that will be erected at this point of the cableway will bo the highest in the world. No less than 87 miles of rope will be required for the cableway. Scouting with the aid of the tele phone is a feature of warfare used by the Japs. Two scouts start from the lines toward the enemy,, one, the observer, is a skilled army offi cer who makes the observations, which are transmitted back to head quarters through a telephone line paid out from a reel carried by an elec trician of the signal corps. A ground return is used, the ground being made by thrusting a bayonet or hatchet into the earth and attaching one end of ihf! line of it The electrician carries a bat tery on his back. THE DEMOCRATIC LORELEI OF 1904. It QutfiJc 1 ~ -- FREE TRADE IN ENGLAND. It Has Brought Distress and Degra dation to Millions of Men Willing to Work. All students 112 economical systems and every man of affairs should con sider and reflect upon the terrible con dition of the English working classes, as shown in the recent investigations of Mr. Charles Booth, and published by the Macmillaus. The revelations of Mr. Booth show a condition of pov erty and wretchedness almost incredi ble, and yet no one questions Mr. Booth's figures or doubts that his pic tures are true in every particular. Al most one-third of the population of or. to be exact, 1,292,737 peo pie, are living in abject poverty. Think of it, disciples of Cobden! 11,279 fami lies, comprising four persons, living in a single room. Think of that, free traders! 99,151 families, consisting of two or three persons, living in two rooms. Think of that, American grumblers! Two-thirds of the total population 112 the British capital dwell in "homes" ot exceeding four rooms. Think of that, American pessimists! And in these "homes" of one, two and four rooms, was found dirt and tilth and degradation most appalling in character. No wonder the women are driven to the street and brothel and the men to dives of every sort. Im morality is rampant on every hand, and the marriage relations are ignored by thousands. What a school for the youth of London —a youth without parentage! What a future must be in store for such a people! Nearly fiO years ago Ricliard Cobden and his associates succeeded in having England repeal most of her duties on imports, and to-day England is reap ing the harvest. First her agriculture was destroyed, driving the people to the shops of London, and Liverpool, and Manchester, destroying a large market for manufactured products and cheapening wages and cheapening men. In the meantime, protected America and France and Germany and other continental countries have forged ahead, and England is no longer the workshop of the world —no, not even to the full extent of her own market. And so there is not work enough for half, and without work there can be no wages, but instead idleness an;l pov erty and licentiousness and despair and degradation and death. What a contrast to protected, pros ous, busy, happy America, where two fifths of the population are on the farms, getting good prices for their products, and themselves forming a market for manufactures greater than all Great Britain combined. Picture the British hovel and the one and two-room home, without furni ture or food, and then compare such to the well furnish-'d American houses owned by thousands and tens of thou sands of laborers in the United States, whose wives and children are well dressed, well fed, happy and eon tented. Some Bolters We Don't Want. A Memphis paper announces that young Jesse James has bolted Parker and will vote the republican ticket.

Gold Democrats Are Beginning to See That That Esopus Telegram Was a Fake. It was demonstrated beyond all ques tion at the St. Louis convention that no platform could be adopted which in any way recognized the gold standard. A plank which barely admitted that extraordinary and unforeseen produc tion of gold had made that metal toler able as a standard for the time being was voted down by the committee on resolutions. Such was the strength and temper of the Bryanit.es that no body ventured to offer that feeble reso lution or any other relating to the money question in open convention. When the famous message from Esopus was received, says the Chi cago Chronicle, it was not deemed safe to ask the convention to indorse even that Delphic deliverance. The most the convention could be brought to do was to say that in its opinion the standard question was out of the cam paign. It is just as certain that no man could have been nominated for presi dent by that convention who was sus petced by the Bryanites of favoring the gold standard. Judge Parker was nominated because it was known that he had voted for Bryan in 189G and 11)00 and had pointed to that record when anybody wanted to know where he stood on the standard question. When his message from Esopus was received in St. Louis the leading Bry anites were furious. Caught by the artful wording, as were Cleveland. Cockran and others of the gold con tingent, they were for pitching Parker overboard incontinently until the Parker managers who were in the secret pointed out to the excited sil verites that Parker had not committed himself to the gold standard at all. It was only then that thev con sented to confirm the nomination. If they had not been convinced that lie was a silver man playing a verbal trick to catch the votes of gold men they would have demonstrated very quickly that 110 gold man could be nominated and as completely as they had already demonstrated that no gold plank could be adopted. Those gold democrats who have not yet seen this will see it distinctly be fore election day. PICKED UP AT RANDOM. c 'Grover Cleveland finds the gov ernorship of New Jersey no temptation. Think what a chance this would be to wrestle with the trusts right where they live.—National Tribune. C 'Speaker Cannon and Congressman Grosvenor not only predict a good ma jority for the republican tichc.t. but both have taken the field to make it even greater than the prediction.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. CT"We've got a sure thing of win ning," shouts the sanguine Mr. Tag gart, "but we can use a few voluntary contributions in celebrating the victory. Make all checks payable to yours truly.'' —Chicago Chronicle. tcJudge Parker does not think it proper for a candidate for president to make speeches, and Grandpa Davis does not believe it proper for a vice presi dential candidate to put up money for campaign purposes.
