Protecting the Insured.
WHATHVKH legislation
tends to FafcRtmrd the
l'Rltlm.iti? Intel Of t of
holders of lnsuinnee of
any form Is of obvious public value;
and one of the ineauies enarted by
the lan and unjustly abused leplslat
vr has foi Its purpose the closer and
better regulation and superlslon of
Insurance entporatloni Inmrpointert
for the purpose of Insuring upon the
mutual pilnolple against poi.onaj In
Jury, disablement or death, testiltlnfr
from traveling or peneral accidents
on Und and water or fiom accidents
resulting from the pursuit of any trade
or employment, and against Injuries
of any natuie wlmtsoewr. causing loss,
damage or l!ablllt.
In oidor to give the Insured greater
guarantees than they have had under
existing laws, which ery often prosed
entlrl worthless the new act com
pels Insurance agents and btokeis and
foreign ltiMiraiue companies, except
mutual companies, doing only a purely
personal accident and health business,
to accumulate and maintain a re
Insuiame re.-eive or emergency fund
eo.ua! to one-half the ptemlums on all
unexplicd llsks that hae less than
one year lo inn, and a pio lata propoi
tlnn on all piemlutno tecelved on llsks
that huve moie than one ear to run
according to the time of expiration of
surh llsks, and said fund shall be
known as the "reln.Mir.tnie teserve."
The bill provides that It shall be un
lawful for such lnsuiance corporation
to Ifsuo any policy or lenewal receipt
upon which said corpotatlon may be
liable In excels of the sum of $10,nnfi
or any one accident, and It a-hnll be
distinctly stated and expressed In nil
policies that the entire liability theie
under of said coiporatlon Is by the
terms of the act lestilcted to $10,onn
on any one accident.
The provisions of the act do not ap
ply to relief associations organized or
formed by coiporatlons for the exclu
sive benefit of their employes, nor to
any frateinal association or order that
does business under a iltuallstlc or
lodge system and does not employ said
agents.
Mr. Conger desires to he governor
of Iowa or minister at Pekln. t'on
Mderlng the distance between Iowa
and Pekln, It cannot be nsseited that
Mr. Conger's ambition Is not tar teach
ing. Americans Alust Control Their
Ocean Shipping.
T"T T IIILK there has been no
detailed dlsclosuie of the
plans which Plerpont
M'oiHiii liad In mind
w'hen he recently purchased the Led
yard line of bteameis, yet the genenil
teajons for that purchase are familiar
and significant. Mi. Moigan himself
mentions them when he sajs that the
British and the (ieimans, who now
contiol our ocean unfile, might take
advantage, of our helplessness on the
ocean and divert the great Industtlal
revolution that Is now going on. The
failure of the shipping bill in congress
Um winter has lett us nt their meicy,
and as all the Hermans and most of
the British steameis are under control
of their governments, they might be
withdrawn at any moment and our
commerce would be Instantly paialyz
ed. Thl?,as "W. K. Curtis points out In
one ofi his infnimlng letteis to the
Chicago, Recoid-Herald, Is the serious
point pj thf ttade pioblem now con
fronting the American people. We ate
the only great pioduclng nation that
ever existed without Its own means
of trittspouatlon. AVe supply the
markets of the world with biead and
butter and beef, and our manufactuted
merchandise Is finding Its way Into
every clmimunlty, but the ships that
carry .them ate controlled by our
commercial competitors, whose tlval
ry Is growing more hostile every year.
This phenomenon Is not teallzed by
the people. Im fact, it has not been
fully brought to their attention. Wo
have htord and read again and again
of the magnitude of our exports and
their rlpld Incvense, but wc do not
seem to appteclate the peril by which
our trad,e a surrounded, and unless we
build and. sail our own ship we must
alwnyaibe dependent upon our rivals
to carry) our produce to the people who
buy It.
Some figures that Mr. Curtis gives
emphaslzo his meaning. In 1900 the
United rotates went to the head of the
list of commeicial nations, our ex
ports fcurpasslrg those of Knglund by
$35,000,000 and those of Germany by
$403,000,000. No other country ap
proached us by $500,000,000., The fig.
urea are utupendttouK. Since 1."5 we
have gained $1,000,000,000 In our ex
port, yhlle England has gained only
$350,000,000 and Germany $440,000,000.

You will notice that Oerinany Is
gradually gaining on Knglattd, but the
trade of no nation In tho hlitory of
the world has ever developed m lttpld
ly or renched such a volume as that
of the United States, nnd at the r-nino
time the ctcdlt of no nation haH ever,
been so hfgh. The bonda of no gov
ernment ever commanded such n
premium In the stock inntket. No
government ever bonowed money nt
so low a rate of Intetest, nnd the
confidence In the nation Is extended
to the people by the money lendem of
the world. These exttaoidlnaty con
ditions have caused a change In the
world's trade, u readjustment of tho
equilibrium, an political economist!
say, which, like the center of popula
tion In our own country, Is gtadtially
moving westwntd, nnd sooner or later
will be transferred fiom London to
New York.
These commercial revolutions have
usually followed wain, limine was
the center of commerce and wealth
until the war with (Scummy, In which
she was defeated, and had to pay nn
Indemnity of Jl.OOO.Oftn.noo, eveiy penny
of which came from the savings of her
peanants. (Since then -he has been
going down. She has lost her torn
meiclal Independence mid has al
lowed her wealth to be dlveited from
the restoiatlon and development of her
own Industries to those of llii-la.
Those nations have nmalgamnted
financially ns well as politically.
France has loaned Hu.la moie than
fJ.non.onn.OOO within the last ten years,
nnd the most of It has been expended
to vitalize noithern Asia. The French
men loaned the HuMnn government
$400,000,000 to build the Siberian t nil
way and make that vast atea of the
czat's dominions accessible. Mills and
woikshops ate .springing up all over
Russia. Poland Is becoming n manu
facturing province. The railway sys
tem Is extending oatunl. Just as ours
has been extending westwntd since
the CU11 war, and has opened to
setitlemenf. vast ngilcultural legions
which will pioduce wheat and cattle
like the prairies of our West and meet
them In our own maikets. Russia now
controls Manchuria and CIiIitm, and
will soon extend the aiea of her In
fluence as far .otith us the Yang-Tze
river, including the Province of Shan
Sl, which Is said to lune the richest
Iron and coal deposits In the world.
These aie facts worth the attention
of the Ameilcan people, who should
realize their significance and see the
Impoitance of devising measuies to
meet them. AVIth the appioachlng
rivalry of Russia In the food m.iiketfl
of the world and the existing competi
tion of (ipimany and Kngland In manu
factured merchandise. It is moie than
dangerous to let our tianspoi Nation
facilities remain under their contiol.

Artificial Stone.
AN i:N(;USU ciWl engineer,
Mr, Owen, Is trlng to In
. teiest Canadian capital In a
proposition which, ns outlined
In a tecent consular leport, ceitainly
pie.sents points of attnictiu ncss. He
wants to establish In Montieal a plant
for the manufacture of at title In! .-.tune
according to a fotmula of which he Is
the dlsceivoior and piopiletor. This is
how the substanc? Is made:
Quartzose sand Is Hist diled 1 being
heated; It Is then thoroughly mixed
with hydtaullu lime In the ptoportlon of
about 12 per cent, of the latter to 8S
per cent, of the foime-. This mlxtuie,
still in a dry condition. Is packed Into
veiy strong nioid of any deslied shape,
tho tilled molds being subsequently
built up In u steel fiame or box. The
latter Is convejed by tramway to nn
Immense steel cylinder. Inside of which
It Is placed, tho cylinder now being
clo-ed anil the door strongly bolted.
Water near the boiling point Is then
admitted until the cylinder Is lull, nnd
an Indicated piessuie of liom CO to TO
pounds maintained. The watei Is kept
In a highly heated condition by htcam
colls running along the lenth of the
cylinder hisidc.
On the admission of the boiling
water, the hjelinullc lime in the molds
commences to slake, nnd the piessuie
maintnlncel assists In foiclng the water
into the sund and lime mlxtuie so ns to
bring nbout complete ,nklng through
out the mass. The mlxtuie being con
fined In stiong mords, it follows that
the; expansion of the mateil.il conse
quent on slaking Is not allowed ftee
pla, so thnt Immense piossure is set
up within the mnterinl Itself, which
tends to render it much moie compact
than might otherwse be the case. Jt is
Important that as little air as possible
should be admitted into the cylinder
during the slaking; this Is why the
water Is admitted at bolllnR point nnd
the teiiiperattue kept up by steam colls
Instead of live steam being Injected
dliect Into the- water.
When tho lime Is thoroughly slaked,
the piessuie nnd temperntuie arc grad
ually lessened and the material Is al
lowed to cool sluwly. When tho cylin
der Is opened, the mixture Is found to
be eonveited Into solid stone. The lat
ter Is In u wot condition and becomes
hatder In the course of twenty-four
hours. The wholo opetation, fiom tho
packing of the cylinder to the with
drawal of the molds, occupies about
fifty hours. The manufactuied intone
nnd bricks may be molded Into any
fotm and are of n handsome gtny color.
Mr. Owen says that a huge demand
exists for this artificial stone In Lon
don nnd In other largo cities. It can,
he asserts, be manufactuied much more
cheaply than nr.tural stone can be fur
nished from the quarry.
A number of Jersey City telegraph
operators have been arrested on the
chaige of (shielding giecn goods men,
and good tesults may follow. Without
the aid of the telegraph tho green
goods sharks would find It dlfllcult to
operate successfully. Tho telegiuph
operator who refuses to aid officers of
the law In running down the swindlers
should he given a taxta of tiia Uus
that are provided for the regulation of
the Individuals who exist by operating
upon "come onf."
In order to get even w It li some one

opinion from tho rural districts and
the dignified title of "Midway" will no
doubt, 'hetcafler be dropped by the
fraternity In describing the side shows

Police nnd fire ofTlclals nt Philadel

the cause of the recent explosion that

of vigilance on the patt of ofllclals to

In Wellsvllle, Ohio, nn ordinance has
been passed Imposing a penalty of from
$10 to $30 upon motoimen who pass
people on tho street ready to get nn

Scranton there are several motormen
who would be obliged to mend their
ways or lose about n month's salaty
each week.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PROFITS.
Kugene Wood, In Alnnlee'a.
Mrs. Kddy is reported to be a mlllloonaire
now. In l-v7 she was trapesing about, lecturing
In town halls in Main on "Christian Mind
healing as exemplified by the late P. 1. Quim
bj." Eveiy publication of christian .Science
coits from twice to three times as much as
better made books tell for. When she was run
nine that Metaphjsical College in boaton "Prov
idence Impelled" her to charge 3H0 for a courre
of twelve half-daji" Instruction In "Mind-heal.
Ing." The couue lasted barely three weeks,
at the end of which time persons with no other
training than reading the Bible and Selene and
Health were let loose on Hit community with
diploma showing that they were "doctors."
Afterward, when 300 pupllj were "clamoring for
admission," she closed the college, Why did she
rrfue tu. take $90,000 every three weeks? He
aue she hid "conventions scruple concerning
diplomas." It la probably a mere coincidence
that the lawachuetta authorities began to
have the same icruple about the same time,
Tho fact that for years Mrs. Kddy has been
careful not lo set foot In that state extepl on
a Sunday I probably also a mere coincidence.
It I quite In line with the wonderful lead
ing of "Providence" fo charge S300 for tlnee
weeks' Instruction; that she should lay down
this principle of practice! "Christian Silence
demonstrate that the patient who pay what
ever he I able to piv for being heiled I
more apt tit recover than he who withhold
a slight equivalent for health," Thit U to
say, the cure depend upon the slie of the
fee whit the traflic will bear. It wa lelt,
not to Tom Paine or Voltaire, certainly not to
the late Colonel lngeroll, but to the repre
sentatives of the fnhcllitant Science that calls
Itself Christian to give u this picture! "Prom
the fact that Judas carried the bag we are led
to betleve that a regular clnrge wa made from
those who had benefited from miracles."
A ROYAL TRAGEDY.

Tne caieei of the I.topiess I'rederlck, which
closed jestc'cli.v. ii en! a striking lllustrathn
of the falsity of the idea that happiness ii de

The daughter of a quern, the sister of .1 King,
the wife of one emperor and the mother of
another, the woman whoe paln-strlckcn life end
ed o gloomllj' tfnjnjrd fir less real contentment
thin the average American wife and mother. To
seat her husband In the throne she was. foicid
to indulge in a hitter battlo of intrigue ssvirit
the colossal Intellect and iron will of Bismarck;
and the success of her ambition was pitifully
brief, for the husbind 'n whose behalf she
fought so persistently wielded the imperial
authority for lev than a hundred daj-s during
every hour of which he auffered Intensely from
an agonising and incurable nialadv.
Tho same disease, which medical science is
as j-et unable to cure carried off hi wile, alter
many years, In which her phjslclal sufieilng
must have been Intensified by her practical
alienation from her son, the Kaiser, and from
the flrrman court and people, who looked
upon her to the last a a foreign Intruder. The
history of monarchy Is full of vagedle. but few

DOG SWIMS TWENTY MILES.
Denton Harbor, Mich , Dispatch In the Sun.
An Englih setter dog belonging to W. C.
Hovey waa stolen on Wednesday evening and
taken on a boat bound for Chicago. V hen in
mldlake he gnawed tlu ropes attached to him
and jumped into the water. After swimming
at least twenty miles, and probably more, the
dog arrived home. He wis very hutigrj-, but did
not appear exhausted.
THE HEALTH-FOOD MAN.
Hi ejes are halls of polished steel;
His lungs are sponges dried;
His blood I boiillion-concentrato
In veins of leather hide.
Hi muscles creak like pulley rope?
hen hurried into plaj ;
Ilia hair is like piano chords
Some chords arc lost, they say.
His heart's a little globe of punk
A houe of constant gloom,
Tor love can never burn within,
Because there isn't room.
HI appetite his dwindled down
To fit his little food,
Till fruit is "water in a poke"
And bread Is "so much wood.
Hot apple tirts and pumpkin pies
He reads of them aghast.
And waffles brown and chicken stew
Are "terrors of the past."
And, smiling, form his irjt h slips
A tinv box of tin.
With capsules brown and pellets pint
All rattling within.
Then, with a gulp, be sn-allnws dowt
His dinner from the can
This product of the health-food school
The concentrated man!
