My eer ou necting, oss fom mertag ot Supply, Ges and Electricity, told a joint meeting of the ing Society and the Municipal Art Society that if the artists and the engineers meet each other half way in considera- tion of lighting probleme we can make New York “the best and most beantifally lighted city in the world.” Just why the half way meeting of the two eocictics should be mesessary to 8 consummation eo devoutly to be wished is not apparent. Seme parts of New York are already the best lighted in the world; no part of it as yet is beautifully lighted. The worst ie that the parte that are best lighted with respect to brilliance are about the ugliost from an aesthetic point of view. One of the suggestions in the way of combining brightness with beauty is that of having lamps euspended high above the streets in some way #0 that the glare would not be in the eyes of the passers and there would be no cumbersome supporting poste to mar the view. As the proponent of the plan snid: “What we want is more light, leas bronse, less of personal dieplay of idens and more effort to conceal the source from which the light is obtained.” This sounds fantastical, Itke a project for lighting a stage rather than a street. Compared with other cities New York is fairly well lighted. Im- provement is, of course, always possible and always desirable. But just now we suffer more from dirt than darkness and need active brooms rather than suspended lights. _—— THE KAISER AND HIS FARM. KK‘ WILHELM'’S talk about his experiences aq a farmer on his estate at Kadinen is interesting and full of brave Teutonic ; cheer. Germany, quoth he, can grow its own food supply, not only now but when the pepulation increases. In proof, he says, he increased the arable land of the estate from 503 acres in 1907 to 632 last year. Also he took 306 acres of meadow reclaimed from waste and made it produce 450 tons of hay besides pasturing 120 cattle and 90 horses. He introduced a new kind of rye that stands “erect like the lances of my uhlans” and grew crop of 1,400 loads where but 700 loads grew before. Finally he crossed the zebu with German cattle and bred oxen that “will get home the harvest wagons in quicker time.” That this is good talk goes withont exying—all farm talk is geod, even when it comes from agriculturista, professional men or amateurs. When Mayor Gaynor talks “farm” he has lucid intervals. It is pleasing, therefore, to have the Kaiser take to it instead of} preaching sermons, since he has been silenced in diplomacy. If he can induce Germany to grow more grain instead of more ublans, bweed zebus instead of building dreadnoughts, he will serve his coun- ‘ tay weil.

The roported measure promises a fair fulfil ment of public expectation, and both the Board of Aldermen and the Mayor have announced a determination to hasten the enactment. In a epecial measure The Evening World has been the advocate anf champion of the rights of the public in the issue. It has gath- ered data relating to the taxicab service both here and abroad.

T THE conference of the National Association of Merchan: | A Tailors in Cleveland resolutions were adopted favoring tie removal of the duty on raw wool and the enactment of a “pure cloth law” requiring manufacturers to label their goods with clear statements of the material of which they are made, Why not? We have laws for pure foods, pure medicines and pure drinks These are precedents for a like law regulating the cloth trade, and uch a law is needed to protect consumers against frauds that are about as common in that trade as in any other. In her book on “The Tariff in Our Times” Miss Ida Tarbo!) cites « letter from a clothier read before the Ways and Means C mittee when considering the Payne tariff bill, saying: “T nev handled cloth of so inferior a quality as I do now. Lal r3, mecha” fea and farmers, who use ready made clothing, are receiving pra tically no value for their money.” Mise Tarbell’s own investigations showed many an article of dothing sold to the poor as “all wool” had “not a throad of woo ig it.” The swindle is the meaner because it is nearly always upo Poorest and most needy that it falls heaviest.

The “lean old maid” whose appear- ance he describes was Sarah Margaret Fuller, a woman of whom in later years Carlyle was destined to write in affectionate reverence. Here wae & soul of fire, prisoned in the ugly body of a New Eugland spinster, and her life story is dramatic and tragic. Her father, a Massachusetts Congressman, died bankrupt, leaving Margaret with seven younger brothers and sisters to support. She had begun life as a “child prodigy,” reading Latin fluently at six. Now she hitches her education to the plough. Throwing aside all her dreams of fame, the girl became a school teacher, also giving private lessons in spare hours, and at night toiling as hack writer and magazine ediior. Thus she slaved through her early womanhood until her sisters and brothers could eupport themselves.
