If Senator Tillman franked a typewrite! through the malls he showed as strange an ig' noranceofthe true nature of the iranking privilege as the bucolic visitor to the city whc blows out the gas. In either case tue very nature of the act rebuts the presumption 01 an attempted fraud, lor It would be as absurd to suppose that the blowing out of the gas was a fraud npon the hotel a6 to assume that the (ranking of a large box of merchandise whs with the,purpose of defrauding the public revenue. The very Dature of the parcel thus deposited In the malls would clearly indicate that it was not correspondence. Theodore Roosevelt Is In any event in no position to attack Senator Tillman lor tbe use of public properly for private purposes. No President since the foundation of tbtGovernment ever used public property lor his private benefit In a more open and audacious manner than the present President. Mr. Roosevelt hp.s made the United StHtes Navy the plaything of bis children. With him a public trust has always been a family picnic. Nearly every (college boat race at New London has witnessed the use of a Government ship by the President for the ubo ui uio Jttuuo ?uu jjikdub hi iqo expetree of tbe Treasury of the United States. A considerable portion of tbe American Navy batby President al order paraded at tbe expense of tbe taxpayer in front of the Presidents' summer cottage in order that be and bU frlends can vary tbe monotony of midsummer by a parade of warships and the welcome sound of the Presidential salute. Until Congress provided for bis unofficial travels Mr. Roosevelt. In the same spirit of economy com pelled railroads lo furnish blm and bit friends with .free transportation, notwltb standing tbe rigid prohibition by the interstate commerce laws or any preference to any citizen. Tbe unprecedented use of tbe American embassies In Europe to glorify tbe Roost veit family, while exciting the hilarity of tbe European ;royal families, shocked tbooe Americans at home and abroad wbo, knowing tbe facts, beheld tbe dignity of American [character .lowered by tbe insufferable snobbery .of laping tbe etiquette of royal -v, courts. . When Mr. Roosevelt went to Panama dne vessel would not suffice for his glorification, but It must needs be escorted by a convoy of two other warships, that his nppearance in Panama (might ;be jregal in character. Tbe very medals which have been struck off b> the Panama Commission as a reward for faithful services bear Mr. Roosevelt's face in relief. When before did any American President ever use public lunds to execute a medal primarily for bis own glorification? The "i and my people," which for the first time 1l American diplomacy was used by blm in a diplomatic communication, was more than a Jest for Mr. Roosevelt has made the chief servant Of tne State its rulpr nnti hnn al. tbe perquisites which attach to royal power. Four more years of this counterlelt royalty and tbe republic would bave been, In form and method, a bastard monarchy. It is possible that tbe very nature of the _ Presidential office justifies tbe free use of publio property fori private purposes. The Sun Is not at present maintaining that It Is unwlst for thlB Government to place at tbe service 01 tbe President one of its ships for bis hours 01 recreation, but sucb a dedication of public property to private use should be by act ol Congress and not by the act of the President or his subordinates: and as ,Mr. Roosevelt's misuse of public property has been without tbe justification of any law, bis attach upoD Mr. Tillman for the?use of a frank In the transmission of a typewriter comes wrtb very poor grace. Tbe;transmlsslon of tbe typewriter bad at least the justification thai it was In use in tbe discharge of official duty. The use of a naval vessel to witness a regatta at New London was an unwarranted waste ol public money. As Mr. Roosevelt by bis vindictive attach upon Senator Tillman in the matter of the typewriter has ^brought before Congress tbe whole question of the misuse of public proper ty lor private purposes, we shall be surprised it Senator Tillman or some other member ot Congreja does not offer a resolution to investigate .thetuse by :Mr. .Roosevelt of public property lor private purposes.

Lah?e la "Famous Sinarera of Today," "she we# informed of the existence of a plot to hln her off the stage. Having ascertained tha names of her detractors and where they were to be fonnd, she donned male attire, to whioh her short hair and robust Agar* helped to oomplete her disguise, and went to the cafe at whioh the oonsplrators met Here she found them in full consultation, and taking a seat at a table she listened to their conversation for a time. After awhile she addressed the leader, saying: "I hear that you Intend to play a trick upon some one. I am Tory fond of a little practical joke myself and should b? glad If you would allow me to join you on this occasion." " 'With pleasure,' was the reply. 'We ! intend to hiss an opera singer oft the stags this evening.' " 'Indeed! And of jvhat is she guilty?' " 'Oh, nothing, exoept that, being an Italian, she has sung in Munich and Vienna to German audiences, and we think she ought tjo receive some oastdgation for her unpatriotio conduct.' " 'I agree with yon, and now please tell me what I am to do.' " 'Take this whistle,' said the leader. 'At a signal to be given at the conclusion | >f the air sung by Rosina the noise will Begin, and you will have to join in.' "'I shall be very glad to do so,'said die singer and put the whistle in he* pocket. "In the evening the house was paoked ?every eeafc was occupied?and the audience warmly applauded the opening numbers of the opera. In due course Mme. Albonl appeared, and at the point at which she was about to address he* tutor a few of the conspirators began ta toake a disturbance, not waiting for th? signal. "Without showing any conoenu, Mme. Alboni walked down to the footlights, And, holding up the whistle, which wu hung to her neck by a ribbon, she ex* claimed: 'Gentlemen, are you not a littls before your time? I thought we were no! to commence whittling until I had sung the air.' "For a mom^pt a deathly stillness pr? ailed; then suddenly tne house Drore into thunders of applause, which was lad fay the conspirators themselves." A 8EAMLESS TUBE. Tkm Arm Three OpcratUu bf s Whleh It May Be Made. Henry Souther said at a recent meeting of the National Association of Mechanica Engineers that the scientiflo and technical designation of a tube, whether seamed oft seamless, depended solely upon the tub? itself and not upon the process followed In its manufacture. Referring to the dictionary yon will find that the word'' seamlees" means without seam, which convey* no light upon the subject. Turning to tht word "aeam," It is found that it is defined as a joint, suture, or line of union, and her* in the last term we find the key. A tuba Jointed in any way cannot be seamless. If in the primary stages of its manufacture It be lap, butt or look jointed, It cannot by any subsequent operation be deprived of the seam and therefore cannot be considered when completed as being seamless. A strictly seamless tube may be mads by any one of three operations?first, a billet may be by successive steps punched into the form of a tube with extremely thick sides, and these may then by the or* dinary drawing processes be reduced to tube with thin walls; next, the billet may be bored or the blank mpy be cast with a hole In it and in either case then draws to the required dimensions; thirdly, thi tube may be made by the cupping pxooess, which consists in taking a disk of the metal, forming It into a cup shape, grad ually elongating the cup and reducing it in diameter and finally by this means producing a tube.' Each and all of these processes yield a tube which is absolutely seamless and about which there is and can be no dispute. In all tubes formed with a seam the edges have first been separated, then united, either by lap or butt weld or by some lock joint system, and in these tha joint cannot be eliminated by any after processes. The custom houses of th* United States recognize the difference b* tween a seam and a seamless tube. A seamless tube is one In which the walll have never boen separated from the time the metal was in a molten condition to tht time of the completion of the tube.?Iron Age. Iponklag Coavleta. When convicts in the Colorado state prison become unruly, Instead of belnj confined to bread and water solitary confinement they are spanked, the instrument used being a paddle a little mar* than 2 feet long, 8 Inches wide and weighing 153* ounces. According to the chiel of the institution, this method is entirely satisfactory and is free from the pernicloul effects that often follow the ordinary treatment. "During the spanking prooess," sayf the warden, "the prisoner has notlmato brood?to store away in his mind vloloul thoughts and grow mentally one sided at he grows physically weaker, for all of hll time and thoughts are concentrated into one spot for a minute or two, and when it Is over he goes back to his work none tha worse for the treatment"?San Prancisoc Argonaut Wax Figures. The beet wax figures in the world art made in New Tork. One firm here hal two to show in its 6tore. Each of these figures cost $200. They are made entirely of wax and are the exact counterparts of two famous New York models. The first figure was sculptured after a French girl. Almost the only difference between the little Frenoh model and the polite, dainty figure in wax is that the girl of flesh and blood bos dark Hair and cno nair 01 tn? wax figure ia yellow. The second figure in that of an American woman. Her figure and the 00ft pink flush of the skin seem almost perfect.

English spelling is the most unsystematic and therefore the most difficult of all systems to acquire, except the Chinese. The French has not a complete alphabet to represent all its sounds in a simple and systematic manner, but the French usa the incomplete and defective Roman alphabet much more consistently than we. The object of writing is to convey thought. An ideal otstem would allow of the con veyanoe or thought with the least expenditure of energy on the part of both writer and reader. The sounds of the spoken language Bhould be represented by the simplest, most complete and most logical system. There are in F.nglish 40 distinct sounds; 40 distinct letters are needed to represent them. With such a system the interminable difficulty of learning to spell would disappear, the time spent in printing and writing unnecessary letters would be saved and the learning of the language by children and foreigners would be greatly fa* | uilitated. There is no valid objection to J phonetic spelling except the difficulty of _ Introducing it. The etymological objeo- = fcion is unworthy of serious consideration. The etymology, for example, of "sophIsm" (which,,by the way, does not Import a wise saying) resides in the real word, not In its spelling. Any one who knows the history of the word would associate that history with it, however it might be Bpelled. The Philological association favors phonetio spelling. It is, of course, InirvnoalMo tn mftlrfl on n. oVin/nirn at once, but it does not follow that the benefits of phonetic spelling, the metric system or any other great improvement will coma to us in the surest and best way by simply leaving the matter to chance. There is a tendency to shorten spelling, but the benefits to be derived from improvement are so great that definite action should be taken to secure them early and to make ? the changes in the way that will be most beneficial. Changes for better and for worse will continue to come by chance as they have come in the past, but chance change in so important a matter aa the language of the most enlightened and most progressive people of the world ihonld not be satisfactory.?Self Culture. MAN A NONCLIMBER. H* Shows a Singular Repnjpuuiee to I Becoming "Arboreal." Climbing runs In families, for steepleJacks are often the sons of fathers who were In the business, but it Is somewhat odd that man, though he learns to swim 1 so well that armed only with a knife he I can encounter a shark in its native ele- I ment, and judged by the extent of his J mining operations in comparison with the _ size of his body surpasses by a thousand C timed all animals that work underground, h has never become a good climber or shown the slightest tendency to become "arboreal," as he has become aquatlo and subterranean. South sea babies that cannot^ walk will roll Into the sea and swim, collier boys at 14 will take pick and lamp and de- C scend Into the mine almost as naturally as voting moles, out we believe that In spite of the danger from wild beasto in forest regions and the fact that in suoh places there is ten times more life on the level of the tree tops than on the ground there is (nefomrtA a# a 1/tK nwtn/m. UU axjjgio XUOMUIVO VI a vnuv TT mvu) ly speaking, has become "arboreal" and learned to climb like monkeys. Though not a few make huts in trees they approach these by ladders, and except in the huts which they use as a refuge and sleeping place they spend their time on the ground. Even in fbrests where the upper levels of the trees are so closely laced together that a comparatively slight adaptation would enable the Indians to progress from tree to tree, and where nearly the whole of the fruit and the greater part of the birds and animals used for food are found only in this "upper story," man is not, and always refuses to become, a' 'climbing animal." Natural repugnance to this form of enterprise seems characteristic of savage men, and even of animals which run no risks whatever. African natives who have only lived in one storied huts show the greatest dislike to going up stairs and have been known to creep up on hands and knees, while large dogs when required to ascend stairs for the first time often refuse to do so except under strong persuasion and with evident reluctance.?
