S-54, CHICAGO Why Lighthouses Use Acetylene Gas-Light It then takes care of the thousands of Lives dependent upon its rays, for another six months. "Lighted by Acetylene" Now, what do you think of that for an "article of faith" in Acetylene on the part of Lighting experts and Coast Pilots ? Reliability comes first, of course, in such Lighthouses where Acetylene is used. tre But, after that there is another and mendously significant feature which commends this White Light to Mariners as it should to Householders. That feature is the splendid long-distance carrying power of Acetylene light rays. This quality is known as spreading of the light uniformly over a very wide area. "diffusion Mariners say they can see Acetylene Light nearly twice as far as they can see the same candle-power of any other light. They say it penetrates Fog farther, and all "thick" conditions of weather. It does this because it is such a Clear, Pure, White Light, free from the large percentage of useless Color which weakens and fogs Kerosene, Gasoline or Coal-gas Light. It is also an absolutely steady Light, free from the wavering flicker, the rise and fall, of Electric Light, which is so hard upon the Eyes because It gives a rich, white Sparkle to every polished thing it falls upon, brings out every shade of Color, even pale pink and pale blue, at its correct value, and diffuses (spreads) all around a room like daylight. More than this, it now costs a third less (when once installed) than the same candlepower from Kerosene Lamps, without needing a tenth of the care. And it costs only half. as much, per candle-power, as Incandescent Electric Light. A complete 35-Light installation including labor and everything ready to light up the jets with need not exceed $200. Fewer lights cost less money of course.

At a dinner in honor of the Ambassador at Ottawa on April 1 Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that Mr. Bryce had done something unprecedented in the history of America. He had visited Canada. "This is the first time in my memory, he added, "that His Majesty's Ambassador to the United States has visited Sir Wilfrid disclaimed any warm desire on the part of Canadians for reciprocity and declared that Canada could grant no concessions to the United States unless she received an equivalent. Mr. Bryce in his response told how the feeling of friendship and esteem for Canada was growing in the United States, and assured the Canadians that throughout the negotiations the very fullest attention would be paid to their wishes. The diners joined heartily in a toast to "Teddy Roosevelt. ANARCHY IN RUMANIA The pillars of society shaken by a rising of oppressed peasants RUMAN, A, then tot Por some weeks by an anarchy, w of the Balkan States, has been torn for some weeks by an anarchy, which, beginning as an anti-Jewish outbreak, has grown into a general social revolution. Although Rumania, with a population little less than that of the State of New York, has not more than a third the number of Jews now living in that Commonwealth, it has long been notorious for the bitterness of its antiSemitic feeling. Its intolerance has been carried so far that Rumanian Jews have been denied the most elementary civil rights, and have been treated as aliens in their native land. Moreover, the centres of anti-Semitism in Russia have been in those districts, such as that of Kishineff, inhabited chiefly by a Rumanian population. The Rumanian hostility to the Jews springs from economic causes. The impoverished peasants have been bled by local merchants and money-lenders, and by absentee landlords. The merchants and money-lenders are mostly Jews; the landlords, when they are not Jews themselves, very commonly have Jewish agents, who bear the brunt of the tenants' hatred. The troubles began in Moldavia, the more primitive of the two ancient principalities from which the present kingdom was formed. The peasants sacked hundreds of estates and swarmed into the towns, where they carried a trail of blood, fire, and pillage through the Jewish quarters. The rising spread into Wallachia, and soon the whole kingdom was wrapped in civil war. An international Anarchist organization took advantage of the peasants' discontent to push its propaganda.. Pitched battles were fought, and the peasants and soldiers competed in exhibitions of barbarity. The Government, while exerting its military power to the utmost for the suppression of the rebellion, has planned reforms to remove the grievances of the people, especially in the matter of the unbearable monopoly of the land by a class of worthless parasites. PEAKER CANNON and the members of the Congressional party that visited the Isthmus under the chaperonage of Representative McKinley of Illinois were agreeably surprised at the progress of the work on the canal. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, the chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, said that the undertaking was far more simple than the American people had been led to believe. In his view it was merely a matter of digging and handling the material. That is a rather optimistic way of describing the process of building the greatest earth dam in the world on a doubtful foundation, but fortunately the work is in the hands of men who know how to do whatever is required. The Congressmen learned that the canal would be finished in eight years, and it was even suggested that it might cost less than the $150,000,000 that had been counted upon. McKinley thought it would do any American good to see the progress of the work and the enterprise of his countrymen, and Speaker Cannon remarked: "We'll dig the ditch or bust. thought it would be a case of "bust," and that was why they were so willing Some statesmen at Washington last winter to leave the entire credit and responsibility for the work to President Roosevelt. Mr. Colonel Goethals, the new Chief Engineer, has announced his intention of following the lines laid down by Mr. Stevens, whose organization he declares to be perfect.

Lo public, asking him whether he thought that there was any danger that railroad regulation would be carried to the point of preventing a reasonable return on the money invested, and whether, in case of the adoption of Government ownership, the stockholders could expect to receive a price equal to the value of the physical properties of the companies. Mr. Bryan returned what was meant to be a reassuring reply. He said that there was no danger whatever that regulation would be carried to the point of preventing a reasonable return on money invested in railroads, and that if public ownership should be adopted the stockholders could expect to receive a price at least equal to the value of their physical properties. In fixing rates he thought the value to be recognized should be the cost of reproduction, at present prices, not the money actually spent on the lines. This is a principle that might have some consequences which perhaps Mr. For instance, the New York Central's terminal Bryan has not fully weighed. in New York could not now be reproduced by any other road at any price. All terminal facilities in great cities have gone up so enormously in value that the cost of reproduction has become almost, and in many cases entirely, prohibitory. There is reason enough here, on Mr. Bryan's principle, for any amount of swollen capitalization. BY Y an order issued on March 29 President Roosevelt fulfilled the promise of partial self-government for the Philippines. The first popular Assembly ever granted by a white Power to an Asiatic dependency will be elected on July 30. The Act of Congress of July 1, 1902, provided that when the President should be satisfied that complete peace had been established in the islands he should cause a census to be taken, and that if peace still prevailed two years later he should order the election of a legislative body to be known as the Philippine Assembly. All the people of the islands except the Moros and the non-Christian tribes are to be represented in this gathering. The new Assembly will form the lower and the present Philippine Commission the upper, house of a legislature, which will exercise in the Christian parts of the archipelago all the law-making powers now possessed by the Commission. With the organization of this body the Philippines will be equipped with just such a system of government as England had worked out for her royal There will be an appointed provinces in America before our Revolution. Governor, reigning as well as governing; an appointed Council, or upper All the materials will be at hand for such house, and an elected Assembly. a clash as that between Governor Hutchinson and the General Court of Massachusetts. Whether it will come or not depends upon the amount of tact and reasonableness possessed by both sides. The Stamp Act and the tea duty already have their abundant parallels in the legislation of Congress. If the desire for absolute independence be as strong among the Filipinos as it has been said to be, and if that desire find expression through the Philippine Assembly, the question will assume a new position in American politics. HE Census Bureau has issued an estimate of the population of the United States in 1906. With admirable precision it puts the figures for the continental Union at 83,941,510, and for the whole American Empire at 93, 182,200. The word "census" carries a presumption of authority that will cause this to be widely accepted as an accurate count. The actual The truth is that it is only a guess, and a very poor guess. population of the continental United States last year was probably nearer 88,000,000 than 84,000,000. These The Census Bureau's guess of the population of the State of New York last year was 8,226,990, and of the city of New York 4,113,043. figures are not very far from the mark, for in this case there was a State There is a similar advantage in census in the preceding year to build on. the case of Boston, which is credited with 602,278 inhabitants in 1906, the population by the State census of 1905 having been 595,380. Chicago is put down at 2,049, 185, Philadelphia at 1,441,735, and Baltimore at 553,669. These guesses are near enough the truth to make it safe to say that the United States is the only country in the world that possesses two cities of St. Louis over two million people each and three with over one million. protests that she has over 700,000 inhabitants instead of the 649,320 the census oracles concede to her, Kansas City shrieks that she has 225,000 instead of 182,376, and Seattle tearfully accuses the Washington mathematicians of ciphering her down to 100,000 less than her real population. To these complaints Director North humorously responds that the Bureau can not revise its estimates "at the whim of this or that city," although he admits that "in individual cases the computations of the Census Bureau may be wide of the truth.' The Census Bureau allows Pennsylvania 6,928,575 inhabitants in 1906, Illinois 5,418,670, and Ohio 4,448,677. These estimates certainly do not err on the side of exaggeration, so that it may be said with confidence that one member of the American Union has at the present moment over eight million inhabitants, another over seven, and a third over five. have now a population of over twenty-five millions, which is more than the whole North had at the time of the Civil War.
