Let Us Do It Ourselves Once the philanthropist set up a drinking fountain Xow there is good city water laid on everywhere. In olden times kind-hearted people provid ed "ragged schools" for the waifs of the alleys. Xow there are public schools for all. Once the benevolent created funds to provide meals for indi gent prisoners in the jails, but John Howard induced the state to feed its prisoners. Time was when the defec tives were cared for by charitable groups. Xow the state provides for these unfortunates There will always be opportunity for private philanthropy to render signal services, but a demo cratic society with a proper epirit of independence will not alow itself to form the bad habit of leaning upon the large private donor, but will take as its maxim.

The Most Wonderful Railroad W hen all thv. great railroad trunk? of the world have been built, a decade or two hence, fo-ur of them will appear upon the map in heavy black, indicating that they surpass all others in impor tance. These will be the Pan-Ameri can. from the Arctic wastes of Canada to the Straits of Magellan: the Trar.i- Siberian, from the Atlantic to the Pa cifiv across northern Kurope and A«ia: the Trans-Persian, or some other line, from the southeast ot Europe to India and the Cape-to-Cairc. The Pan Amer ican and the Indo-European railways may surpass the Cane to-Cairo as com mercial arteries, and the Trans-Siberian will doubtless figure more potent|v as a strategic line; but for the sheer inter est of the country traversed—for the picturesque variety and romantic ap peal of the panoramas running like double cinematograph film* past the car windows—the great African trunk can never know a rival. Six thousand miles, across sixty-five degrees of latitude a. score of climates and the lands of a hundred different peoples or tribes, the second lougest of the world's rivers and two of its larg est lakes, the greatjst <}am ever built, conserving water foi the world's rich est lands: the most imposing and an cient of all temples, the greatest wa terfall and the most important gold and diamond mines and. finally, one of the last great expanses of real' wilderness, the only place in the world where the wild beasts of the jungle may be seen in their primitiv state from a train; all th«se seen, traversed, or experienced in twelve days! Surely there can never be another such railway ns»this.—Lew is R. Freeman in the World's Work for January.

THE COLOR OF GOLD Its Shade of Yellow Depends Upon the Metal Used in Alloy Gold that is used :» jewelry and coins is always allowed with copper or sometimes, as in the former, with sil ver Addition of copper makes the | color the popular "golden yellow," orange or reddish gold. Silver turns 1 pale yellow, \Ve seldom see pure gold. ■>ur it has that indescribable yellow that so often fascinates. The pure metal is so malleable that it can be beaten between strips of vel lum into sheets two-hundred and-fiftv thousandtks of'an inch in thickness, in this form it is transparvnt and trans- Mit« green light. When very finely divided gold is sus pended in a liquid by preeipitation trim a splat ion it transmits green light similar to that of the leaf gold. Yet in ordinary well-diffused light it seems purple, for this is the color it reflects. In other words, if a light is placed behind a jar containing a liquid with gold in fine suspension it looks green, whereas if the light is placed in front or at the side the color is purnie. The vapor from boiling molten gold is also purple. 'What, then, is the real color of gold® The color of a substance depends on its ability to reflect only liglit of that color, which in turn ; s due to the ar rangement of the n.olecules. It seems, then, even the simple mechanical which we mentioned before as altering the physical properties are ac companied by radical changes among the molecules as tar as their mutual re lationships art concerned.—New York World. 1* isn't onlv the worldly people who want the earth.
