OVING PICTURES of the burial of the battleship Maine, which took place off the Island of Cuba Saturday, March 16, have arrived in this city and are already developed and teady to he shown to the public. Wonderful vividness the moving picture promises to lend to History! The preservation of films of special public interest begins to be already a matter for the Government to consider. There is no reason why our grandchildren and great-grandchildren a hundred years hence should not see faithful reproductions of Mr. Taft signing the Statehood Bill for Arizona and New Mexico, the Durbar of King George the V., this series of views showing the last chapter in the story of the Maine, and even more important events. ‘ What would we not give to-day for a moving picture of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? Or of Washington taking leave of his officers? Or of Lincoln at Gettyeburg? Is it not, after all, our duty carefully to record and preserve as archives such moving pictures of contemporary scenes and public persons es may have first rate interest for postority? The opening of the Panama Canal, for example, will be one of the great world events of all time. Thanks to the moving picture camera, with what vivacity and life-like completeness may we not hand on the scenes of that great inauguration to future generations! Will not cities, libraries and schools all over the world desire such records? The making of films of this class should be made an organized official undertaking and their preservation a public charge. —— a AD INFINITUM. FTER thirty years of work the astronomers of Harvard Uni- A versity announce that they have finished a photographic 4 map of the entire heavens. So careful and minute has been their task that the sections of the chart put together would cover * more than five acres, About 1,500,000 stars have been “taken.” Three thousand seven hundred and ninety-six separate negatives were * made during the lest year alone. The job has cost altogether $1,000,000. "The patience and conscientiousness with which these men of “science plan and carry out gigantic compilations are the more mar- vellous when one realizes that they know all the time the discovery + of some new instrament or the enlargement of an old one may sud- + denly open up new fields requiring # complete revision of their work. ‘ Something of the sort happens in thie case. ‘The largest re- \ flecting telescope—the beat type for photography—hes been up {to odthis time at Mount Wilson, California. It has a diameter of sixty Sinches. Now a telescope of one hundred inches is announced. How goon must the etar-gazers add millions of new suns to their charts? ay Sa } - A NATION'S POCKETS. ee A FRENCH state railroad loan amounting to $12,000,000 just aaec offered in Paris was subscribed thirty-two times over in four hours! ‘This means thet people ceme forward with $432,- 000,000 to invest!

In AL £1671 Germany loaded Franco with a war indemnity of $1,000,000,000. in September, 1873, France had paid every cent of it. At the presert “moment the French national debt is stupendous, Tho funded debt “amounts to $5,780,000,000 and the floating debt to $317,000,000—the sheaviest debt ever yet run up by any nation in the world! a This eager, natural rush of small savings from the pockets of a _fareful people at the invitation of the National Government goes far to show why the credit of the French natign is so unassailable. ; adi aanen tare ¥ HOW IT’S DONE. dS Ae TO LIVE ON NOTHING A YEAR’—that fascinating art which Thackeray discusses so exhaustively in “Vanity Fair”—needs footnotes to bring it up to date. A woman | in Minneapolis who has mado a specialty of coatless living adds a! new wrinkle. With her four children she quietly moves into a vacani house without bothering owner or agent. She modestly retires to tho | back rooms. If the honse bears a “For Rent” sign, she replaces it with one reading “For Salo,” so that she may have fewer callers. | When the owner finds out about it sho refuses to pay rent and us all kinds of technicalities to delay ouster proceedings until she can make a mysterious flitting to another place. She has occupied three houses in this way. ) ‘ This is neither more nor less than the same art and instinct | thet animate our brood of CUCKOOS who lodge their advertising in| the pages of The World.
