scandal and that separations eMain,-! be

whims are the natural cen'-nnn-nics of the
hn'ty marriage that leads te leisurely re
pentance as well ns nn i.-nceui.igenient te th
casual experience in matrimony which cm
premise nothing geed for the future of
society.
What the ladles of the federation seem le"

The elections proved, if they proved any
thing, a genernl dissatisfaction with cen
tralized authority nnd the theory under
which Congress was compelled te appear
us a sort of morals police for the whole
country. Therefore, the Federation of
Women's (Tubs will be wiser if it confine

Divorce in the I'nlted States is, In fact,
becoming something of a nat.enal si-andal.
The dignltj of the institution of marriage
will Miff' r grievously In the end if divorces
may be had for the asking in States like
Nevada, and the pieple who are leust fitted
by temperament or character for marriage
will be married eftenest.
There Is some ground for the belief '.hat
marriage should b" made mer" dllHcult.
Thi't ii a dangereii question, however, and

roadside. The night was still.
"A man whom I recegnised as the clergy
man went Inte the house and he was ac
companied by Mrs. Mills. I continued te
sit there. Then, all of a suddn, I beard
the sounds of gentle music, which grew
louder and louder. I looked down the read
and saw a beautiful, large beat, what you
might call an Kgyptlan barge, coming to
ward me. It was filled with beautiful
blendes, who were playing mandolins, and
It was rowed by royal slaves, and In the
front en glorious cushions sat a young Sheik
who looked llke Hodelph Valentine, only
handsomer. lie was dressed In cloth of
geld and silver, nnd he seemed very n"let
and stern. The blendes looked like Mary
Plckferd. They were prettier than Mary,
though, and their curls were mere golden.
They played and played en the mnndelln
nnd sang n sad song, 1 knew that there
was supposed te be a read there, but there
was a sort of lake, because I saw It.
"When the Kgyptlan barge get te the
deer of the Phillip farm!keue it stepped
nnd the young Sheik get out waving his
scimitar. Guard In armor followed him.
There were Jewels of various colors in bis
turban, for I saw them shining In the light
of the small moon that was then In the sky.
He teemed terribly disturbed nnd went
right te the front deer and opened It nnd
went In, and In a little while I snw him
come out with his guards. They had the
man and the women with them nil tied in
rope. They put them in the Egyptian barge
and called sharply te the royal slaves, and
were rowed nway toward De Hussey's lane.
The mnndelln were playing again, but I
could hear crle and scuflles In the barge.
The young Khelk sat en the cushions with
1:1 arms folded- nnd a tragic leek en bis
face. I went home and thought nothing
nbeut the matter until I rend in the news
papers nbeut the bodies found under the
crnbnpple tree."
The authorities at New Hrunswick will
announce the discovery of new and very Im
portant clue. Indictments will be premised

glad that the mystery was solved at last.
QUAKE AND ASTROLOGY
rr IS about as reasonable te nsume that
sun spots of planetary conjunctions enuscd
the latest terrible earthquake In Chile as
that these celestial manifestations had any
thing te de with the elections a week iige.
Peubtles It Is because upheavals of the
land and -bea nre sometimes se tragically
stupendous that appalled human'ty has a
distinct nverslnn te ascribing te such cata
clysms origins local and In a "ni- prsnie.
Stnggescd mortal, such as these who es
caped death nt Coquimbo en Saturdav when
the, whole Pacific Ocean seemed te recede
for what appeared almost te be a leap
across the continent, cannot be expected te
view the shamble. nbeut them in a mood of
passionless scientific detachment. Hence
the revival of an old, and In responsible
quartern, discredited version of the sun-spot-influence
yarn end the ensening of
astrology, with Mars, Mercur.v and Neptune
pictured ns conspirators of the zodiac
The Chilean earthquake, however, does
net need te be tricked with medievalism te
win the resrect of fear for lt fury. One
thousand or mere person- have hi en killed.
Towns are laid In ruins and there is anln
mourning nnd desolation along one of the
me'st unstable and awe -inspiring ceasra of
the glebe.
Knrthqunkes are most prevalent in re
gions where the descent of mountains nnd
highlands te the sea Is steepest. Japan is,
therefore, ominously within the danger aene
nnd virtunlly the entire Pacific seaboard of
America from Alaska te the Magellan
Straits.
The proximate cause of earthquakes In
tlie'e areas Is the fracture and sudden
movement of underground roe!: mast.
These disturbances are eimnci ted with the
preeiss of the folding and faulting of the
earth's crust. Huge rock masses, such as)
the Andes, impose an eneriunii- strain upon
such cnihtal movements. It is assumed that
certain accumulations of stres promote
conditions giving rise te violent ruptures,
in centrnst te the slew geologic changes
always in progress.
When the strain Is particularly severe
and the resistance of the underlying masses
relatively vyeak, the sudden shock produces
ngltatleti of the earth's surface, or the bed of
the sea. These were almost certainly the
conditions creating the earthquake at Mes
sina, the most devnstntlni;, hi far as less of
life Is concerned, of any in recidnl times.
The tidal waves which sv.-i pt ever the Sicil
ian ilty are estimated te have reached a
height of eleven meters. Imaginative wit
nesses of the convulsion at Coquimbo fix the
height of the rushing mass of water nt fifty
meters, 164 feet.
If this estimate Is proved te be exces
sive, the tragedy of a calamitous event will
net be lessened. A strip of Chilean coast
has been visited by the effect of a miscalcu
lation In Nature, which forfeits nothing of
its claims te awe and wonderment when
regnrded apart from niUd'hy astrology and
theatric "pertentH,"

LarfNt In World,
Br GEORGE NOX McCAIN
rTlHE last wooden dining car en the Perm-
sylrania Railroad system has been re
tired, It was the veteran of one of the eldest
alnlng-car services in the country.
All the original -dining cars were et weed.
They had stove heat and oil lights and
seated only twenty-four persons.
The kitchen' bad inadeipiate range, re
frigerator and storage service.
Such n thing as an electric fan was un
known, and in summer these kitchens were
rivals of the het room of a Turkish bath.
In these days the dining service was a
source of heavy less te the company.
The revenue was increased, however, by
the sole of wines and liquors, and this
hejPjd te reduce the permanent liability.
Then the steward of the car was the bar
keeper. '
Everybody tn the service rejoiced when
the rum sales, were stepped.
T AROEST in the world" Is the title
,. ., given te the Pennsylvania system for
Its dining-car service.
Its fleet of these restaurant cars new
numbers 12.1.
Of these approximately fifty-three are tn
operation en Ua lines west of Pittsburgh.
Bech car represents an outlay of mers
than 80,000. of which about one-fifth Is
included in furniture, sllvcrwnre, linen,
utensils and kitchen outfit.
If all the Pennsylvania's dining cars were
placed end te end en a single track they
would form a dining corridor two .miles in
length.
All cars are new equipped with from
thirty te thirty-six seating capacity.
A force of approximately loot) person's are
required te epernte these cars.
In the course of a year the colored
waiters served S,G"5,0)0 meals te travelers
en its flying trains.
OTRIKING changes have taken place In
p the style of these dining cars since the
first one was set rolling.
Twenty-flte years age they were won
derful samples of the carpenters', weed en
gravers', designers', nnd painters' art.
Tbey were ornate in th beauty of their
finishing in metal and weed.
Steel cars were Introduced about 1003 or
1008.
With them was inaugurated the era of
plain but elegant finish.
Simplicity has sine-e been the keynote in
their Interior decoration.
Twenty-five Vear. age but sixteen of these
superb re-.tnurunt cars were operated west
of Pittsburgh.
New there mere than fifty.
0NB of the most interesting places en a
diner, nnd of which the traveling public
gets only a fleeting glimpse, is the kitchen.
Think of. n cook in a private home oper eper

Within this miniature kite-hen one chef,

Working, tee. with the train rushing like
n cannon ball around curves mid ever noisy
bwitciies.
It would he Impossible tn accomplish what
these men de were it net fur the perfection

WHEN It comes te feed consumed by

An average of 10,000 meals are served

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
JOSEF A. PASTERXACK
On Music for the Masses
MUSIC for the mns-es, which Is new one
of the watchword of cultural move
ments all ever the world, Is of comparatively
recent development, but is making up In
energy for what It lest in time In the matter
of getting started, says Jesef A. Paster
nnck, conductor of the Philharmonic Society
Orchestra of Philadelphia.
"In the olden days when music was
firt being recognized ns one of the really
serious fine arts," said Mr. Pasternnck. "it
was only for the few who could pay te main
tain their own orchestras and choruses, and
the public hud very little cham-e te hear
any music outside of the church. I nder
these circumstances, the nobles and the per
sons of high degree were the patrons of the
art, and musicians, even, ns late as the
time of Haydn nnd Me.nrt, were regardeel
as little mere than servants of a little
higher degree than the ordinary one in the
houses of titled personages.
When the Change Came
"The change came in about the time of
Mozart, and from thnt time en there was
a constantly increasing demand en the part
of the people for a share in the music of
the period. Compare this situation with
that of today, when everv one feels that
music is a necessity (and as the Government
of this cnuntrv se ruled during the late war),
and one will see what nn advance and what
a change of sentiment have taken place In
this regard in about n century nnd u half.
"The effect of geed music upon the moral
chnriu-ter of the people and its educational
intluence upon them cannot be tee highly
estimated. But te reach this result the
music must he placed where the greatest
number of persons can hear it nnd hear It
frequently ler this reason I am glnel te
see' thai the improvement in the music which
the moving-picture houses nre giving hns
been se great, although much of this music
is still very bad. The movies unquestion
ably exercise a vast influence upon the peo pee
ple: nnd, while the matter of music Is en
tirely a secondary one se far ns most of the
audience is concerned, still the repeuted
henring of the better kind of music ennnet
help doing n let of valuable missionary work.
"The lnei-hanlciil music-making appara
tuses, such as the talking machine nnd the
player-pinne. also linve clone imicii re edu
cate the taste of tlie people ill the right di
rection. These things have brought home
te n vast number of persons music of which
they would otherwise hnve remained In
Ignorance nnd have familiarized them with
many masterpieces of the world's best com
positions through repeated hearings.
Growth of Orchestras
"But perhaps the greatest nnd most sig
nificant of all has been the immense growth
of orchestras, especially In this country.
The oversold comlltlen of the Philadelphia
Orchestra year after year is proof of this
fact, as Bre also the crowds which attend
the series of concerts of the Philharmonic.
"There is great need for mere orchestral
music, and the people, net only of Phil
adelphia, but of the country at large, have
shown i hat they will eagerly absorb mere
than they are getting new. This has been
the experience of the Bosten Symphony, the
New Yerk Phllhnrmnnle, the New Yerk
Symphony Society (Mr. Datnresch's orches
tra) and practically all of the ethers. This
is further shown by the large number et
new erches,rns, perhaps net se great us
these which I have mentioned, which have
been started in ether cities of the United
States.
"Personally I want te play for the masses
end se does every artist worthy of the name.
He would rather appear before a large anil
enthusiastic audience, eveu though net se
highly cultivated from the technical musical
standpoint, than before an audience of
critical and highly educated musicians who
leek te the form rather than te the musical
substance of what thev are hearing,
"Ne man Is ever se happy, no matter what
remuneration he receives, ns when he is
singing or playing te a house tilled te the
deem. It ia the artist's greatest joy.

any but mulc of the best kind. He should
never Vtoep' te the average listener, but
should endeavor te bring the musically un
educated person up a ktep at a time, by
giving him only the best music. It i.s
surprising hew quickly the public, which
se many persons deem te be musically un
eeluented, will respond te this kind of music.
"If a symphony Is played It should be all
played, net merely a movement or two.
because it is a complete picture nnd it will
net de from the nrtlstlc standpoint te tenr
It apart ; but It Is net always necessary te
play a symphony except en regular
bjmphenlc program.
"Then- ia plenty of geed melodious mush'
of a lighter tjpe which is admirably adapted
for lifthter concerts, all of which is well
worth a hearing, but much of which is nut
often h",ird in public. I nean the lighter
overtures, of which there hrc n great num
ber, the waltzes of .lelianu Strauss and
mii.sle of this kind generally. I would fur
rather hear a tine Straus. waltz than a
mediocre symphony which will be dead In n
day se far as the concert Ktage Js concerned.
Works .Finely Scored
"This lighter music is beuutiftilly scored.
Contrary te n wielespread impression in this
country, it is net written for n -mail or
chestra, but was originally-composed for the
complete sjinpheny orchestra, perhaps with
out the 'extra instruments, but for the
regular symphonic complement.
"This music should be heard with this
complete instrumentation te he fully appre
ciated, and if technically trained musicians
would enl.v take the time te leek ever the
scores of these lighter works they would
be amazi-d te find hew much con be learned
from them.
"The summer concerts In the Pari; Inst
season en-,, n wonderful opportunity te show
what response the peeple made te music of
the hen,.,, kind, which was made eusllv
accessible tei them. It is certainly n spW
elid thing fnr the city te give its citizens a
chance 10 hem- this fine orchestral music
free and under such excellent auspices ih
was the case at I.emnn Hill. I hope Hint
he series for next season will be augmented ;
't ill surely prenu te be popular. Itadie
offers greater things in possibilities than in
perteriuani-e ihus far, but when eer (tin
mech.inicnl difficulties nre overcome, ns thev
will be befein very long, il tee will afford
a line means of RettiiiK the best ,sk. t
the people dliectly.
MaKIng Music Themselves
"The constant hearing of geed music will
lead tn the making of music by thousand
of persons who will desire te learn te sing
or te play some instrument after thev have
Heard what can be done and realize the
2Svntn "iJVWent they can give te them
