Everything contributed to the magnitude of the disaster. Iéna had just been overhauled and put in condition for a cruise, her magazines had been filled, and she had on board her full crew of 630 men, with Rear-Admiral Manceron and 24 officers. The Admiral was wounded and Captain Vertier was penned in his cabin by débris and burnt to death. The explosions wrecked the neighboring buildings of the dockyard, and they were continuing in unremitting fury when an attempt was made to stop them by flooding the ship. The sluice gates of the drydock could not be opened, and while a party of sailors was bravely struggling with them in the midst of flying projectiles, a shell took off the head of the leader, Midshipman Rousse. Finally the battleship Patrie was ordered to fire at the gate, and succeeded in bursting it open just in time to prevent the terrific consequences of the explosion of the melinite torpedoes in the central and forward magazines. The Iéna, although not in the same class with the new battleships designed to match the Dreadnought, was one of the most powerful of the earlier types; ranking with our Maine, Missouri, and Ohio. HE imposing record of giant benefactions, by which these days in America have been honorably distinguished, has been swelled by the gift of ten million dollars by Mrs. Russell Sage, to establish the "Sage Foundation" for philanthropic work. The income of this fund, which will amount to about $450,000 a year, is to be used for "the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States." That object, of course, is broad enough to cover almost anything. It will include, according to the authorized statement, "research, publication, education, the establishment and maintenance of charitable and beneficial activities, agencies, and institutions, and the aid of any such activities, agencies, and institutions already established." Mr. This is the greatest gift ever devoted to such a purpose-the most important earthly matter with which the human mind can concern itself. Carnegie has given more for libraries, technical schools, scientific research, and pensions for professors, Mr. Rockefeller has given more for colleges and universities, but nobody has devoted such a sum to the broad work of human betterment. The scope of Mrs. Sage's foundation is wide enough "to investigate and study the causes of adverse social conditions, including ignorance, poverty, and vice, to suggest how these conditions can be remedied or ameliorated, For that purand to put in operation any appropriate means to that end." pose any new agency may be established or existing agencies may be helped. The endowment is to be administered by a corporation which is to have power to accept other gifts and bequests, so that in time it may grow to enormous proportions. The possibilities of usefulness under it are limitless. Scores of millions of dollars have been spent in charity, but they have left just as much as ever to be done; because they have dealt with consequences, not with causes. Mrs. Sage's gift goes to the roots of things. promise of usefulness far beyond any mere charity, for if wisely administered it may help to make charity unnecessary. a OR the present, at least, California has ceased to be a source of discord between the United States and Japan. Notwithstanding the treaty of concord and amity concluded between President Roosevelt and Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco, the Legislature of California proceeded on merry bout of Japanese-baiting as if those Powers had never held the historical Conference of Washington. The State Senate blithely passed a bill providing for the segregation of aliens in the public schools, with a proviso that would have enabled school superintendents to let in Europeans and keep out Japanese at their discretion, another calling for the submission of the question of Japanese exclusion at the next general election as a means of testing the public sentiment of California, and a resolution protesting against the admission of Japanese to the State, as well as their naturalization. At this stage President Roosevelt intervened with a telegram to Governor Gillett, informing him that such proceedings were most unfortunate in their effect upon his efforts to secure the exclusion of Japanese laborers by friendly agreement, and if continued would probably render the recent legislation of Congress for that purpose ineffective. The Governor promptly sent a special message to the Assembly, transmitting the President's despatch and urging caution; and that body immediately voted to suspend action on all Japanese measures. The San Francisco Board of Education supplemented this proceeding by rescinding its order requiring all Japanese pupils to attend the Oriental school. This rule will be applied hereafter only to Japanese over sixteen years old and to those under that age who are not familiar with the English language. All the rest will be allowed to attend the ordinary schools, as formerly. As soon as the Board took this action, the suits to enforce the alleged rights of Japanese children were dismissed by direction of President Roosevelt, and the President issued an order under the new Immigration act forbidding Japanese and Korean laborers holding passports for Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii to enter the continental territory of the United States. 50 YEARS' SUPREMACY The supremacy of Borden's products is due to 50 years' scientific education of dairymen and employes with a fixed purpose to supply only the BEST.

Probably there is no function that is so hard to start but so enjoyable when really started as the average party. Really, you cannot give a party without an Edison Phonograph. It is the best thing in the world to get over the first half-hour before people limber up and use their own wits. The Edison Phonograph introduces the wits of others at the right time, to make people talk and be sociable, but even for the gathering where all are congenial and well acquainted the Edison Phonograph will introduce a new note of amusement. It is peculiarly fitting that the originators of the piano-player and the genius and skill responsible for its continuous development and improvement, should crown those accomplishments by the creation of the MELODANT to be an exclusive ANGELUS feature of the In every composition there runs a vein of melody called the "air," frequently lying wholly in the treble, often interwoven with the accompaniment or wholly hidden by ornamentation. It is the province of the MELODANT automatically to pick out and accent this melody, giving to each note its proper value as previously determined in an authentic interpretation. The musical value of this new device is inestimable and when coupled with personal manipulation of the Melody Buttons, permitting individual accentuation of notes or runs at will, and with the Phrasing Lever, mastering time, and the Diaphragm Pneumatics, giving the Human Touch of the ANGELUS, you have supremely under your own control every known device contributing to a musically correct performance. features are exclusive with the Great ANGELUS, and thus is it made indispensable that in the selection of a pianoYet these player by every person of discriminating musical taste first consideration must be given the ANGELUS.

That is what people say the first time they see the round, all-metal Crystal Refrigerator. It does seem strange-but think how many years everybody used candles.
