ADVERTISING DEFINED.
An Interesting: Lecture by John Lee Mahin
lSefore Chicago Students.
John Lee Mahin, President of the
Mahin Advertising Company, recently
addressed the students of the College
of Commerce and Administration at the
University of Chicago on the subject
of "The Commercial Value of Advertis
ing." Mr. Mahin's lecture was an expo
sition cf the science of commercial
publicity, touching upon the theories
and the technique of advertising.
Mr. Mahin detined advertising as fol
lows:
"Influencing the minds of people.
It is malting others think as you de
sire. It means utilizing all those forces
which produce impressions and crys
tallize opinions. It is the creating of
prestige—that quality which causes
others to accept a statement without
question.
"The merchant who, through his
idea of what will please the popular
taste, makes his calculations, giving
orders to manufacturers for six months
to a year in advance, requires great
foresight and intimate knowledge of
the fickleness of taste.
"Yet he does not yet possess the posi
tive force that advertising, when stud
ied and skilfully employed, will give
him in his business. He only deals
with conditions as he finds them.
There is no effort to create conditions,
but simply a shrewd adaptation to ex
isting circumstances.
"Advertising rests on the suprem
acy of commerce. It requires stable
business conditions for its existence
and development. It is, therefore, a
higher form cf mental activity than
the successful exercise of ordinary
commercial transactions because it
gcea farther, in demanding not only
the power to cope successfully with
commercial problems, but an added
ability to influence the human mind.
"Advertising wl'.l produce active de
sire where none, or, at least, enly that
of a latent kind, existed before. Adver
tising, by employing the powerful men
tal forces which psychologists call sug
gestion, can create well-defined habits
amccg the people which an alert com
mercial mind will utilize to build up
and foster a business."
Gtccl-Cuttlug by Electricity.
A Chicago electrician has invented
away of applying electricity to iron
and steel so as to burn the material
as easily as if it were the softest
wood. The invention wa3 tested a
few days ago and its success ac
knowledged. A big boiler foundation
was to bo removed from the basement
of a building, and tho inventor wa3
called upon to do the wcrlt, as it was
impossible to get the mass of metal out
as it lay, and cutting it under ordinary
methods would bo a long and tedious
task. Tho carbon point used burned
or cut away a wide space in the plate
at the rate of about a foot every Cvo
minutes and proved its value. The ap
paratus is simple. A carbon Is at
tached to a wooden handle by means
cf a metal clamp; to this clamp a
wire is attached, the other being con
nected to tho object to be operated
upon. After tho connection is made
this carbon is moved aloDg the ob
ject, cutting and burning its way
through, even though it may be Bes
semer or chrome steel that is attacked.
Tho heat aud light are intense, but
the eyes and face of the operator are
protected by having the carbon point
thrust through a small steel box lined
with asbestos. The apparatus can be
operated with a current of fifty volts.
Abyssinian Endurance.
Monsieur Hugue3 Le Roux, writing
of "New Trails in Ajyssinia," in the
April Century, says:
I have had occasion to observe the
great power of resignation and pa
tience under suffering common to tbe3o
primitive men. One night a soldier
who had retired with a loaded gun
by his sido made a sudden movement
which sent off the gun. It was a
Winchester of big calibre, charged
with Dumdum bullets used in hunting
largo game. The moment tho report
sounded the whole camp was cn the
lookout. Presumably it was caused by
r. raid of thieve? or the sudden appear
ance of a lien. In tho scni-cbscurity
I put out my hand, and felt the man
lying on the ground bathed in his own
Mood. Tho Lullct had shot off his
left thumb, and Lad fractured bis
right arm at the bleeps. I was obliged
to amputate, cn the spot, this pulp, I
had never seen an arm cut off nor a
bone sawed away. Nevertheless, the
binding of tho arteries and tLe opera
tion wro performed In tho elm lan
tern-light a3 best I know how. Net
only did tho man net complain, but
he ooemed perfectly inscU3.hlo to tho
pain. Ho recovered.
Ilcot and Branch.
A gentleman wishing some hushes
removed from Lis garden told Ll3 gar
dener to x>ull them up by tho roots.
Eomo tlmo after ho went into the gar
den and found tho gardener digging
trenches arcuttd the hushes.
"Why, George," ho said, "yn need
net ulg round theso small hushes In
that way. I am euro you aro strong
enough to pull them up by the roots."
"Oh, yes, sir," replied tho gardener,
"I am strong enough, hut I must dig a
Uttlo before I can catch hold of the
roots. If you hod told mo to pull thorn
up by the branches I could bavo re
movefl them."—London Answers.

A BANK FOR EACH HOUSE
NEW PLAN FOR UTILIZING SMALL
SAVINGS OF THE PUBLIC.
A Peripatetic Receiving Teller—"House
Accounts" Started on a 8!i.50 De
posit—Gain of 0000 New Depositors
in a Mouth.
It is a matter of record that in no
country In the world are the public's
cash savings and available capital so
consistently utilized for the service of
the money market as la America. It
ceeded the currency-hoarding panic of
1893 to show the American public what
a revolutionary change would be
brought upon our financial system by
a return of the plan of keeping cash
savings In old stockings and in chim
ney pieces—a practice still prevalent
iu many quarters of the European Con
tinent. The almost universal use of
chocks begins the saving in the circu
lating medium, and a highly developed
clearing-house system saves, in the pro
portion of 109 to 4, the necessity for
cash transfer in settlement of haiik
balances.
Where the cheek is little used or not
at all, the savings hank steps iu, aud by
its offer of three aud one-half to four
per cent, for use of a wage-earner's
surplus petty cash, diverts the circu
lating medium, to the extent of $2,500,-
COO,OOO, from the pockets of the citi
zen to the great money markets. There
still remained, however, a sum enor
mous iu the aggregate, though divided
into insignificant portions, which failed
to reach even the dinio-savings insti
tutions, because its owners were un
willing or too careless to undertake
frequent trips to the bank to deposit
it. If they kept it by tliem, it was
likely to bo spent. The securing of this
fund for productive uses has loug been
an object of ctudy with bank mauagers,
aud the interesting problem i 3 now in
a fair way to being solved.
"Family bauk3," sc-eallcd, have late
ly been introduced by several of tbo
large city savings banks. The theory
is that by sufficiently ingenious ar
rangements, petty savings which would
otherwise escape the money market
may be obtained by visits of agcnt3
of the bank at the house of the de
positor. It was estimated for the Even
ing Post, this week, that from 50C0 to
OCOO new depositors had been added in
that way in a few months. Its pro
jectors stated their belief that the plan
represents the best means yet devised
for encouraging thrift among wage
earners. Tlio scheme is very simple,
aud consists simply in giving out minia
ture safes on payment of $2.50 by a
new depositor. This represents the
vnluo cf'tbo safe, and is credited imme
diately to tbo person opening the ac
count.
The safes r.re distributed by means
of a liouse-to-housc canvass, and pass
books issued at the tirac that the initial
deposit is made. Then a collector who
holds the key calls once a month and
opens the safe, entering the value of it 3
contents on the pass-book of the de
positor. The collections range all tho
way from fifty cents to SIOO, and rep
resent perhaps the savings of two or
three members of a family. Tbc chief
advantage, of t'uo scheme lies in tho
fact that it permits the deposit of tho
smallest amounts, tho safe 3 being con
structed In sueb n way as to prevent
the withdrawal of funds once depos
ited. Banks that have adopted tbc
plan say that depositors thus secured
remain on their book 3 for years, and
prove profitable customers. Sine? sta
tistics shew that it costs savings banks
cn tlie average $1 for every new cus
tomer secured, tho new plan is ceo
r.omicai, notwithstanding tho original
outlay of S2IOO or S3CCO for safes.
Such a cystem cf auxiliary banks is
rapidly gaining favor with trust com
panies at tho West. A person familiar
with their use raid: "These little bnnkF
nrc accomplishing great things. Their
success is based on the theory that a
pcuny saved is a penuy made, and tho
way they are growing in favor in
dicates that they are filling a long-felt
want. I believe that the idea is thor
oughly legitimate, and adds to the use
fulness of a savings institution by pro
viding for the accumulation of chance
funds. That is what we most need
for the average person never realizes
that laying aside ten cents a day at
four per ceut. interest amounts to
sl7l iu five years. That Is computed
on tho bacis of 313 working days.
"Then, too, tho achcme is available
far all members of a family, and en
courages young people to save during
the formative year 3 when the habit of
thrift, once formed, remains generally
through life. If people wait to accu
mulate $5 or $lO before making a sav
lags hank deposit, there is danger thut
the sum will be frittered away. But
If the ehauee coins arc put away in a
strong box from which tlicy cannot
ho extracted tho same temptation to
Epcud does net exist."—Now York I'ost.

Many of the smaller and weaker
birds, like the Cy-catehers, virecs,

der to avoid tlielr enemies, tbe hawks,
make their long flights by night, stop
ping for rest and food In tbe day
time. Tlie larger and bolder ones,
like the liawks and crows, and those
of extremely rapid flight, like the
swallows and limnming-birds, migrate
fearlessly by day, and there are some,
like tbe Canada geese, which travel
just when tlicy choose, by day or
night. Migrating birds usually fly at
a height of from one to three miles,
and this enables tliem to see tlie rivers,
