Vital?'ant of the ModernIng.
The point of view of the demo-
n ern ocraey (ratio literary man is expressed by
Dr. Max Nordau as follows:
"It's amazing how few people
seem to be able to draw logical con-
clusions from patent facts. Every-
body agrees that the evolution of
civilization tends towards demo-
cracy. Everywhere the number
rules. Everywhere the masses out-
weigh the classes. How is it that
it does not strike everybody as a
truism that advertising is the un-
avoidable out•eunee of democracy,
its obligatory corollary? In an au-
tocratic, and even an .aristocratic,
society- you only need to impose
yourself to the attention of one man
or of a few men whose authority
enforces its rules on the whole com-
munity, 'The eye of Louis XIV.
engenders masterworks,' as the
French flatterer said. There, ad-
vertising would' be of no. use, It is
necessary and sufficient to please
the King. His .patronage carries
with it that of the nation. But, in
a democracy, .a single, 'however ex-
alted, person, or a small circle's fa-
vor, would do very little for you.
You must impress direct the hind
of the million. And to effect this
there is only one means, Advertis-
ing. Of course, those who indulge
fu .tole mad theory of the superman
may condemn advertising as vulgar.
Bub, then, leb them be consistent.
Then they must eond•emn also the
chiming of church bells, which is
the advertisement of Divine ser-
vice, They must condemn the Paris
salons and all art exhibitions, for
they are the advertisements of art-
ists and their works. Ib would bo
much more aristocratic not •to ring
:bells, but to wait nobly that the
faithful arrive on their own im-
ipn'lse; not to exhibib creations of
genius to the crowd, but to reveal
them in the artist's studio to some
individual co:enoisseur, • But who
dares to reoommeud that haughty
method nowadays?"

LICITY 1S NECESSARY.
-Dr. Max Norden Describes It :As a
The value of advertising has long
-ceased to be a subject of contro-
versy. Men in all walks of life now
admit that publicity is a tremend-
ous factor in success. It [night he
described as absolutely necessary to
healthy life of business, whether it
•be the business of a nation or an
individual. As long ago es 1877,
1Ir. Glladslone said, "Corruption
there roust be wherever there is not
the utmost publicity. Putblieity,
that is the great advantage, the
.great security of English ,public
life." A number of the outstand-
ing men of England were recently
asked to express their opinions re-
garding the value ' of advertising,
and the pithy remarks of some of
• them are ,worthy of attention, says
an English paper.
The statement of his Majesty
King George is very concise and
straight 10 the point. He said :—
"Experience has shown that, even
in the case of firms having an es-
tablished reputation and world-
wide connections, attempts to dis-
oontinue advertising have been us-
ually followed by a diminution in
the sales effected, and it is net un-
reasonable to assume that the neg-
boob by Great Britain of one of the
most important .forms of national
advertisement would be equally de-
trimental to her interests as a
manufacturing country."
The weld -known British organizer,
John Morgan Richards, has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject;
"'What is advertising?' I have
often been asked. 2 venture to say
that a complete and exhaustive re-
ply to that question cannot be giv-
en by any. human (being., I know
people who shudder at the word,
Otthers'associate it with nothing:but
vulgar acclaim, For my part, I
say it is the live wire' o.E all com-
merce, all enterprise, all progress
in every department of 'the 'world's
work. It is the 'live wire' of
thrones, of parliaments, of repab-
lies and congresses, iho 'live wine'
of the bench, the bar, and the pul-
pit; of statesmen, preachers, heroes
and ,poets. It• is the 'live wire' of
the army and navy. 14 is the all -in -
elusive form of communication he -
tweet cations, tribes and peoples.
There may 'be other names for it,
but it is advertising just the same,"
Voice of the Church,
One famous preacher, Bishop
Wol'ldon, had the following to say :
"The value of advertisement lea's
been amply proved by experience.
Whether it is in 16,solf a good thing
or not, ib is .indiepensalbls to ef-
ficiency •in business. For any own
part 1.:cannot but approve it, as it
is the only means of bringing useful
new inventions or improvements.

OUR AMAZING PRONE.
Some of Its Wonders As Set Forth
by Britisher.
The electric current ,which oper-
ates the telephone is perhaps the
gentlest and swiftest thing in the
world. Any description of it must
seem ,to be hopeless exaggeration.
It is about ono five -millionth part
of the ourrent required to light a
single ele•etric Lamp. To use a pic-
turesque illustration of Mr. 11, N,
Casson's, i.f you cool a spoonful of
hob water one degree you will have
released sufficient energy to run a
telephone .for ten thousand years.
If you catoh the falling tear of a
child you will have enough water
power to ,carry your voice from Lon_
don to Paris.
For an idea of what .the telephone
system •can do, we have to look to
America. In spite of the fact that
it was built up largely by English -
:men, the telephone stands as the
one characteristic product of Am-
erican civilization.
"In America they -had to face and
subdue natural obstacles of the
most formidable 'kind. They had to
braverse great forests where their
poles looked like toothpicks beside
the enormous trees. They had to
cla'ive off Indians who coveted the
bright wire for earrings and brace-
lets, and the •bears who mistookthe
humming of the wires for the 'buzz-
ing of ,bees, and persisted in gnaw-
ing down the poles,"
• The above is an extract from a
pa,m1phleb in "What is _Wrong With
the Telephone 1" recently issued by
Mr. C. S. Goldman, chairman of
the British Parliamentary Tele-
phone 'Committee, in which the
writer complains of the "hopelessly
unbusin:escalike" methods of tele-
phone arrangements in'Great Brit-
ain, and gives their history at
length.

At Least 50 Years Lost.
"The Emperor William once said
.that Germany would emerge from
even a successful war set back at
least 50 years in her economic de-
velopment. 'Kaiserworte are not,
soon forgotten by the Germans.
When they recall the famous diotum
above quoted, and contemplate the
eventualities of this atru.ggle, they
'cannot 'be .blamed, I .thought, for
gazing into the future :witih troubled
eyes."

New Dyeing Process.
The shortage of German aniline
dyes has• led to experiments being
made at Huddersfield Technical
College in England that have re-
sulted in the patenting of a .now
proeees in which sulphur dyes are
used. Sulphur dyes aro the cheap-
est series in the market and it has
been found that by the new process
wool and silk, artificial sill( and
hemp can be dyed, either ;separl'tte-
ly o'e, in any combination, •nr best
material, topes, 301115 or pieces, :At
present sulphur (lyes are exelnsivc-
ly'used for rotten fabrics. Prc'sc:nt

process with little alteration, ex-
cept that veinier fitt.itige cannot be
used, .and it is stated that the pro -

A('ClDENTAL DISCOVERY.
Aeetyleiae Gats From Carbide Found
to a Peculiar Way.
The immense production at
Niagara Falls of carbide of calcium,
the curious artificial stone which,
when 'bathed in water, gives off
acetylene gas, recalls that this sub-
stance was first manufactured in
America by .accident, through the
metallurgical operations of T. L.
Wilson, who now lives in Ottawa,
near a small stream in North Caro-
lina, While using limestone and
salt in smelting, he noticed among
the melted slag which day by day
ran nearer to the brink of the little
stream, a greyish -'white su'bstane.e
new in his experience, bat thought
little of it until one day the molten
slag overhung the water and began
to flow, into it. Tlten suddenly a
bright white flame 'burst out of the
molten mass :and enveloped it for
some time. He drew from the dry
slag .some of the Strange mat:erial
and touched a match to it, but with-
out result. Then he poured' souse
water upon it, and at the. next triad
the liberated acetylene gas, broke
into flame. Thus in 1891) accident
disoovercd a practicable way of pro -
:Inc -Mg that acetylene gas, first dis•
covered in England in 1836 by Ed-
mund Day while experimenting
with potassium tartrate and char-
coal. It remained, however, for the
intense heat of the hydro-eleotric
furnaces of Niagara to turn out this
wonderful stone in almost ,perfect
purity and immense quantities.

The i'hlltti's Lance,
Unlike ordinary lances, the Ger-
man lance is not made of wood, but
is u steel tube, between .11 and 12
feet lung. Being made of 4001, it .
is naturally very heavy, and at :
first sight seems clumsy and hard to
handle. There is a knack in .]told-
ing it, :however. .Just about two-
thirds of the Wily down from. the
head of tote lance, a length of thick ''
twine is hound around it, to form
a grip, When the lance is held by,
that "handle" it is so •perfectlylbal-
