O. THE WASHINGTON LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY. By ANDREW PARKER. Vice President, Jal8-d&d?.eSu Trustee. The End of Man. From the New York Times. It is reassuring: that both Prof. Cham berlfn, sponsor of the planetesimal theory of the creation, and Prof. Percival Low ell. who scouts it. agree that the ex pected collision of this planet with some otheT star will not occur within about a billion of years. But Dr. lx>well thinks the globe is gradually shrinking and freezing, while Dr. Chamber] In is not yet persuaded that the human race will be extinguished in this frigid way. lie admits, in the latest issue of Science, that Greenland, Spllzbergeu and the oth er arctic iples must once have been sub tropically warm. But some millions of years ago mantles of ice covered tropical India, Australia, southern Africa and South America, close to the present tor rid, zone. This was only half way back in the record of life on the planet, which leads Dr. Chamberlin to conclude that the earth has not gradually cooled dur ing the agos, but has, rather, submitted to "merely temporary localized intensifi cations of climate," which life lias re peatedly survived. Besides, in all quar ters of . the. globe there have been fewer epochs of glaciation than of aridity. From such profound climatic alterna tions Dr. Chamberlin infers that there have been concurrent variations in the earth's atmosphere. By volcanic; action and otherwise the earth adds to tiie constituents of the air. while the ocean keeps its gases in equilibrium: but the principal changes come, probably, from the interchanging "molecular activities of the terrestrial and solttr atmospheres." These are usually well balanced, never theless geologic history shows that in past aeons they have shifted over vast areas, destroying races tnough not de stroying life. Thus doomsday loses its boisterous terrors.

Better than London, better than Paris, better than Berlin, better than any other large city in the world, New York looks well after its s?ick poor. There are free hospitals and dispensaries by the score. Even in the luxurious private hospitals there are free beds. There are free in stitutions for the care (bf contagious dis eases, free vaccination, free diphtheria serum. There are funds for the care of tuberculous patients without means. Yet with all this public and private charity, the hospitals and dispensaries are constantly taxed to their capacity. A large proportion of the metropolitan population, self-respecting and self-sup-, porting. Is able to carp for Itself in times of health. With illness, however, with the stoppage of wages that gen erally ensues, it often becomes entirely impossible to supply medical care and attention. It is for such persons as these that the city's dispensaries are intended. An investigation at Bellevue has shown that frequently persons of means go there for treatment. Undoubtedly this is true at many other institutions. Dr. Brannan has asked the board of estimate to pay an investigator to detect such cases. His request should be granted. Persons with means to pay for medical care who patronize dispensaries are rob bing the sick. They should by all means be exposed. There Were No Others. Frum the Chicago News.

Twist or Two Makes String Hold as Securely as If Tied. A cord fastener that holds as securely as a knot, but can be opened and tied with a twist or two of the wrist, has been devised by a Washington man. One end of the cord is fastened to a plate, which lias^a button loosely riveted to it. The button is just close enough to the plate to allow a cord to be squeezed under it. The cord may be wrapped around a parcel of envelopes, cards or any other parcel in the ordinary way, but when It comes to making the free end fast it can be pulled under the button and wound around it. In this way there is no knot to untie when the parcel is to b? opened, but the cord can quickly be unwound, and will answer to tie up the package another time. Such a device is particularly useful to lawyers, agents or any persons who have large bundles of papers to carry which they find It necessary - to consult often. In their cases it would prove betli a nuisance and a waste of time to tie and untie knots each time, and the fastener here de scribed is just the thing they need. Little Japanese Girls. Corr. of Lafcadio Hearn. in the Atlantic. The other night we had a singular fes tival next door. A teacher of dancing? an old woman of our neighborhood?died last year; and on the anniversary of her death her thai were placed on a platform erected for the occasion next door, and offerings set before it. Then all the little girls she had taught?from four years up. were brought to dance before the iliai to please her spirit. The dainty little fairy darlings! I went behind the scenes and saw all the dressing. The children were all faultless till the dance was over?but then being tired they would cry a Mttle; and their mothers would carry them home?looking like wonderful dolls in their tiny gorgeous Kagura dresses. Sure ly a Japanese baby-girl is the sweetest thing in all this world. Beyond the other side of the -garden I hear and see something much less pleas ing?the training of a little geisha. The child is very young; but ?he is obliged to sing nearly seven hours every day. I can tell what time it is by the tone of weari ness in her voice. Sometimes she breaks down and' cries to be let alone in vain. They do not beat her?but she must sing. Some day she will revenge herself on the world for this?and "sarve it light:" The Old Almanac.

The almanacs' of today are books, encyclope dias of information on every topic that an almanac buyer doesn't care for.

But where is the almanac which used to hang by a red and white string from a nail in the kitchen; the o!d almanac with the bilious cover and the illustra tion showing how a man tooks after he has committed hari-kari;' the almanac with the marginal notes and the signs of Gemini.

Comforts oMtea Travel Today Com pared With Conditions of Fifty Years Ago. from the N>? York Tim.s Nowhere has there been a more re markable ad van.v in the luxury, safetv and volume of travel tlian on the Atlan tic highway. Today we cross the ocean in floating hotels at ihe speed of an ex press train, and enjoy every conceivable refinement of equipment and servii e One may live in a private suite or enjoy a bewildering variety ,?f public parlor* lounging rooms and sun parlors, and e.it in any one of half a dozen dining rooms breakfast rooms, grills, or palm gardens. I?ast year H4.40H first cabin passengers and 117.2.". 1 second cabin passengers land ed in New York, together with .1il> '.*?? iu the steerage, a total of Ml.tRS. The gre?t transatlantic steamer* seem today so much a matter of course tha: the conditions in the ocean carrying trad* fifty years ago seem almost in 'redible. In IWy the sailing of an ocean steamship was an event. Guns were fired by ?h\ o:" salute as she passed down the harbor, which occurred not more than once a week. I^ast year l.oiw regular passenger steamers entered New York harbor, an average of three arrivals a day. The steerages of our modern ocean steamers compare favorably with most of the first cabin accommodations of half a century ago. Nevertheless the steamers of that day were considered marvels, and were as much talked about as are the four-day boats of our times. The ftorus sia of the Hamburg-American Line wa* the crack boat of her day. She had a. registered horse power of ,T7."? and carried a crew of sixty-seven in all. Her speed helped out with sails, was twelve knots. She carried fifty-four first rabln pa.-sen gers, 13H second cabin and rUO in the steerage. To the astonishment of the world she reduced the time l?etweeu the two continents to sixteen days. Velvet Seats and Mirrors. It is interesting to turn from the lux uries of our modern floating palaces to the meager accommodation of halt a century sin^e, and jet the cabins of t!;<*?*> liners made a great sensation on both sides of the Atlantic. There were red velvet seats and gilded frames and mir rors. according to the old advertisements, and even landscape paintings Iiuiik in the saloons. One of the boasts of the best of the liners was that every passenger would be provided with a bed ttr bunk for his exclusive use throughout the voyage. Many passengers had heretofore slept in | relays. The crowning luxury of the I equipment. howe\err was the fact that a steamer was equipped#with two bath rooms. In this decade the time of cross ing was further reduced to twelve day* and six hours, a speed at which many shook their heads with misgivings. It vas not until nearly ten years later that the last of the sailing vessels carrying regular passengers was replaced by steamships. The vessels of this day were built with flu?h decks, the upper deck extending over the entire length and breadth of the ship. The older ships had open companion ways and high hulwarks on both sides. At this time the prin cipal lines announced regular monthly sailings. The cabin rates fifty y>ears aco in transatlantic travel have varied less 1n half a eenturyr than might be Imagined. A first cabin passage in the old days <-osf. from $90 to $100 and upward. There wn? but one cabin, the first, and then came the steerage. Twenty-five years ago the first cabin rate was about $.V> to $<*? anO upward. The second cabin minimum was $4o. The minimum first cabin ratr today ie about $ft0, and the second cabir. $00. A comparison between the rates <n the raat and those of the slower boa':* today will show a surprising similarity. Incidentally the coat of feeding the.pas sengers today, due to hlfcher prices and more elaiborate tables, is six times as great as It wan fifty years ago. Eight Knots an Hour. Tbe contract in the condition* la 18ft* and 1900 Is strikingly Illustrated In tbe two Cunard steamships of both periods The crack English boat of her day ?u the Britannia, a wooden paddle steajneat She had' a speed of 8.5 knots an hour, 740 horsepower and consumed 38 tons of coal per day, which was considered & re markable faot Contrast with this the Mauretanla, with a# speed of more than 25 knots, thirty times the tonnage and ninety times the power of the Britannia, and with more than 1,000 tons of coal consumed a day. The transatlantic passenger has today a choice of any one of thirty-three regu lar lines of steamships in crossing the At lantic with an average of three sailings every day in the w-eek. A ."hip may be said to sail for Europe every eight hour Fifty years ago there were but three regular lines, and these oflferod only monthly sailings. Twenty-five yea-'t ago It was possible to cross by upward of a ?core of lines, and the time had been r< - ^uc.ed to seven days. The crack ships of *hat period are still In many cases iu Commission today, as for example tl ? Umbria. Tlve five-day boaT appeared a trifle more than ten years ago, while the four-day boat is one of the achievements of today. The advance in the appliances for safe guarding travel has kept up with the de velopment In speed and luxury. Fittv years ago the division bulkhead was in the most primitive fashion. Today power ful fire pumps force water to every pari of the great ships, and an entire steel compartment may be flooded in a few 1 moments without endangering the ship The steel bulkhead may be closed from the bridge by simply touching a lever. A ! modern ocean liner could be practically cut In two, but <ts steel compartments would keep It afloat. A half century ago electricity ua.- un known. Today a complicated series of electric signals connects every part ot' the ship and the captain on the bridge is in instant control of his ship. 'Hie mar velous safety devices are a development for the most part of the past ten years. The wireless telegraph and the submarine signal are of even more recent date SPELLING BEES. North Dakota Flans to Get Children Into County Contests. From tho Boston Herald. North Dakota Is going to learn to speti l if the plans worked out by the educators of the state for a revival of interest In I correct spelling w ork out. Arrangements have been completed for a series of old-fashioned spelling l>ecs. to be inaugurated in the district t-choo s all over the state under the auspices of the department of education, and it is proposed to continue the new departure for some years to come if sufficient inter est can be maintained. Just what attra< - tlons will be used with this end In view have not fully matured, but the pro moters of the scheme believe ways w i be found of making the spelling match. ? as popular as they were in many sections of the country half a century ?go. be fore the spelling "reforms" of various brands "broke out. The county superintendents in nearly every county in the state are already mapping out the preliminary matches |:i their respective counties. These will take the form of oounty contests between rei? resentatives of the different schools, to )>? held as soon as the different schools shall have had an opportunity throuRh spelling bees to enthuse the boys and girls and t ? pick out their best spellers. Official lis'.> of words will be sent out In" order that all contestants may have an equal chance. Business men. professional men and farmers will be asked to offer prizes tor the first, second and third best county spellers. The county champions will par ticipate in a final state championship contest, when prizes aggregating at least $100 will be offered. Any pupils of the eighth and lower grades will lie eligible in the preliminary contests. If you want work read the waut.Mt unans of lue Star. ? .
