It has been a lifetim» since “Under the Greenwood Tree” and “Far from Madding Crowd” were best sellers and made known that England had another novelist of the first magnitude. It been score years since “Tess of the D'Ubervilles lowed in 1805 by “Jude the Obscube,” cease comparing Hardy with George Eliot and to place him in a ¢ by himself among English writers. His fame lost none of its Justre from subsequent novels and other writing. Hardy was a master of* virile English and he was unexcelled as a story teller. The char- acters were introduced quickly and effectively. Interest in them began immediately and was not permitted to lag—not even after the final “finis" with nearly two| " fol-| ed has “had been read. ~more. this wonderful Like hig It was a wonderful life that little Englishman quit in his 88th year. books, it became interesting early and he was interesting to the end. He lived as he wrote, logically and forcefully, throughout more than three score years of ripe maturity. Unlike many before and younger than him- self, Hardy did not overdo his product. He did not write himself dry. In fa¢t his admirers have often thought he should haye written For one who was a very live liying author for more than sixty years his lm::ks were not many, but everything that he wrote was read _ with avidity by those who love good literature. It is not prophecy to say that he will go down ~in history as one of the great lights of, all time. the immortals of literature His position among _ was long ago firmly established. The publisher who first offers to the publie " an authorized complete edition of Hardy's writ- ings should profit from an inevitable revival of the famous author. 'y “] DO NOT CHOOSE.” It has bheen discovered that John Jay, first Chief Justice of the United States and one of the negotiators of the much criticised Adams-Jay _ treaty, was the first American to make the word choose” famous. 1t was during the afterward Chief Justice Jay's last year at college that some of the student became peeved and (no professor present, of course) some of them smashed a chair, Hearing the loud noises the prexy rushed into he room. He asked each studemt in turn the uestions, “Did you break that chair?” and, be- ing answered in th negative, “Do you know who did?” He was answered “No" to each question until John Jay was reached when this dialogue © occurred: m on his use of ‘‘choose” “Did you break that chair?” “No, sir.” 3 “Do you know who did?” “I do not choose to tell you, sir.” Ynung Jay was suspended from school, but ‘ in the year he was permitted to return get his degree. But the future Jjurist stood and proved that the He never told. word is one with teeth.

This tax item, says Mr. Vickers, is nearly twice as great as the amount of dividends paid by the companies, and is equal to about half of all the interest charges. bt And street-car riders pay the bill, in the last analysis. Put a sufficient extortionate tax on these utilities and the most of us would walk. Reason should rule in taxation formulas as in all things else. g Opportunity for Copper in 'England. (Engineering and Mining Journal.) Though the German demand for copper has recently expanded greatly, and though large plans for electrical development in France and Italy have received considerable publicity, Great Britain remains one of the most important potential markets for copper in electrical manufactures. Censuses carried out in 1924 and 1925 show that industries were only 48 per cent. electrified in Great Britain, compared with 66 per cent. in Germany, and 73 per cent. in the United States. The total primary power installed was found to be 16,500,000 h.p. in Great Britain, 17,657,000 in Germany,. and 35,773,000 h.p. in the United States, so that, to electrify the in- dustries in Great Britain to the extent that ob- tains in the United States, about 5,500,000 h.p. of primary power engines would have to be re- placed by electric motors. Particularly backward in electrification is the textile industry in Eng- land, which is only 26 per cent electrified, com- pared with 68 per cent. in the United Staes. To generate and utilize five million horse- power - will require much copper, depending in amount upon the distance the power i8 to be transmitted, the form of equipment used and the eapacity of individual units, World competition will no doubt force British indui to modernize its power equipment, but the change is' likely to come slowly. Opposition to change of any sort, characteristic of the Old World, must be over- come. Comparatively rapid progress is being made, however. Large eclectrlc power statlons, utilizing up-to-date methods of coal treatment an@d combustion, are being bullt; and co-ordina- tion of sources of electrical supply will in time be an accomplished fact.
