Under the old system of mailing out a daily com- merce report we reachcd not more than 5,000 persons.” Six million, Teaders, however, it was pointed out, is not the limit of the circulation of this news. Every paper in the country receives through its Washington correspondents or through news services the important or nationally interesting portions of the Department’s service. Every American consul, trade com- missioner and comercial attache, numberintg in all, slightly more than a thousand, report interesting hap- penings in their sections of the world for use in €Croghan’s service. Report come in by wireless, cablé and mail, depending upon their importance.

MACHINERY Engraving, Such as Was Common in the Earlier Ages, Has Practically Become Lost Art. The engraving of cameos has prac- tically ceaséd to be pursued as an art. Roman manufucturers cut stones in large quantities to be used as scarf studs ‘and a¥ settings in finger rings; and in Rome and Paris an extensive trade I8 carried on in the cutting of shell cameos, which are largely export- ed into England and mounted in brooches. . The principal’ shell uked is the large bull's mouth' shell, fourd fn East In- dian ‘seas, which has a sard-llke un- detldyer. The black helmet of Mada- gascar and the pinky queen’s conch of thé West Indles are also used. The famous potter, Joslah Wedg- wood, Introduced a method of making imitations of carieos in' pottery by prodiicing white figures on a colored ground, this_constituting the peculiar- ity of what is knowr as Wedgwood | ware. These cheap cameos are large: Iy machine made, or are turned out by rough workmen and touched up by the better type of artists. In some casés these cameos are made Of stone, such gs corneitan, sardonyx and cor- al, but none of them are of a high type of art. * Mullin’s. Meature.

The “long-standing libel that the Es- kimo objects to soap deserves to be corr@{cted in the interests of truth,” ac- cording to reports from Rev. William A. Thomas, Episcopal missionary among ' the Tigaras at Point Hope, Alaska. Point Hope is about 300 miles north of the Arctic circle. Mr: Thomas and his wife are the only white resi- dents of the settlement. k “The Eskimo must keep clean to stand the rigors of the climate,” Rev- erend Thomas says. “The application of anything that might close up the pores of the skin and prevent the free circulation of -the blood is the quick- est way to have the face frozen. If the Eskimo used seal oil or whale oil or any of the other lotions which he is charged with preferring to soap, he couldn’t stand the bitter cold of the Arctic: climate. i “As a matter of fact, the Eskimo uses a_whole lot of soap. Also, like the red Indian, they pull the hair from thelr faces by the roots that their faces may be kept clean. “I am Speaking of the Eskimo ‘at Homé, in his native igloo or hut. This igloo is not necessarily the unclean dugout of snow which it is sometimes depicted. The snow igloo is a tem- porary affair built for overnight shel- ter. The igloo in the native comruuni- ties is a neat, compact affair.” MUST PUBLISH THE “BANNS” Law of Great Britain Has Come Down From the Earliest His- tory of the Country. The word “bann” is derived from the early Saxon and’ means to “proclaim.” In the very edrly days a simple declar- ation of marriage,’either with or with- out witnesses: was considered valid; but this system led to so many abuses that in the year 1215 a council of tNe church laid it ‘down that a4 wedding notice had been given in the church for three successive Sundays. This was, of course, to' inform the church of the intentions of its members, and to guard against abuses. In Puritan days additional publicity, was often given to an Impending marriage by the crying of the banns in the public market place. It is now the law of -Great Britain—apart from church discipline ~—that banns must be piiblishied for all ‘marriages contracted in Church of England, altnough the archbishop may dispense banns by’ special licénse: * It 1s interesting to mote that the’Saxon word which gives wus 5" also’ gives us ban, banish and bandit, mean- Ing to “proclaim” an outlaw. The Ii- \censes iSsued by Canadian provincial authiorities are redlly dispensations from the publishing of the banns.— Montreal Family Herald. Hardy’s Emotional Art. Thomas Hardy is in the great tradi- tiofi, Mot of the romantic nor of any specific school, but of poétry per se, in that he gives us the causes of emo- tion rather than ‘his" individual emo- tlons_and- by that means makes us share thiem, In him, is the very soul of his verse, one feels a shyness, al- most an unwillingness - of €émotion, which cauges'hitn"to"dvéld the obvious beauties of verse, instinctively rather than on any conscious esthetic prin- ciple. - He' Nkes to” write about an’ incident which has caused him to' feel rather than about the feelings it -has aroused; and his effort is to draw the incident in’ its essenceé and particu- larity. Through long, intense and patient éffort he has become a master of such®drawing; he can give the chardcte¥ of an incident ‘s Rem- bra cin give the charadter of a person, In a’ few strokes of extreme precision and unforced emphasis, so that we have both the relish’ of fact dnd the beauty of art.—Current Opinion. ‘ Freshening’ Salt, Water. “Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink!” is Coleridge’s poetic phrasing of ‘a ¢ry that hds come from the lips’ of the vietims of 'a ship- wreck ever since the first navigation of the sea. If the water of the ocean were drinkable, not only would an enormous_outlay be spared ‘to. ship owners, but ore of the greatest hor- rors of shipwreck would be abolished. Not_long ago, It Is reported, a method was' discovered abroad whereby sea water ¢an be made fit to dridk. The water is forced under pressure through a filter consisting of the trunk of a tree about fifteén feet long. The wa- ter is driven lengthwise through the pores of the wood, and in three min- utes, at the longest, issues from the end of the trunk in thin streams, and {8 found to be free from salt and suitable for drinking. “Big Tree Seedlings. ’ The big trees, or gimit séquolas of Callforni grow in thé forests of the Slerrag at-varfious points in a range of about 250 miles. In the Tahoe forest, however, where the most rorthern grove' of big trees Is, there is almost no natural reproduction, and many per- sons ‘hiave predicted that when the present mature trees die, the speces will' disappenr from that region. Some time ago, thé forest service planted several aties af big tree sedd- lings fa' the Tahae national forest, ahd these grew so we)l that iater, the serv- ice planted anofliér latge tract.

PLAN FLOODLIGHTS ON TRAIN llumination of Route Said to Bs in Contemplation by a Leading Rail road System. T Brilllant night illumination of its picturesque transcontinental route is the plin contemplated by a large rail- road system in this country, says Pop- ular Mechanics Magazine. The idea, as’ concelved at present, Is to equip the observation coaches of its fast lim- ited trains with a battgry of powerful floodlights. These lights would be ar- ranged to cover a range of approxi- mately 160 degrees, with sufficient height and depth to illuminate the can- yons, rivers, lakes and mountains in the vicinity” of the right of way, as the train rushes on through the night. Power for operating the lamps would be furnished by the axle-driven gener- ators -with which railroad cars are now céommonly equipped, and which ordinarily are never used to thelr full capacity. 3 Although thus far the location of the floodlights has been confined to the observation car, certaln officlals have suggested the advisability of placing them along the full length of the train. Also, further to enhance the effect, it has been proposed to em- ploy lamps, or reflectors of various colors, which would undoubtedly yield fairyllke scenes, particularly when di- rected upon snow-covered _surfaces. Railroad men in authority have noth- while eagerly awaiting the completion of the initial floodlighting equipment, have peinted out the fact that there 4s an additional and practical value of the brilliant lights as a protection against rear-end collisions.
