Medi hes been written in the veers diving the past year in support a the elaires a the Cutlery ea.pital to the name of "Ititinny Shefie11,» seeing that ite record of bright sunsliine eutrivals that of other towns and eitiee of its kind, and yet the Pact rernaine that the city, its workmen and its neumfacturers glory in its reputation for smoke. 14'or, .tifter all, the dirt end grime and smoke hulustvial Sheffield are one Peeei et ite prosperity. Wbother it is desirable to live so much of it or not is quite an. either matter. Buthit its blackest the eity is not nearly so black as painted by some outside observers. Its people are fully alive to the erecessity and ad - 'vantages of applying science to mitigate the smoke and funie evil, and thereby ensure a more healthy etmosphere, more :particularly in the centres of aetivity, Chatting with our represeutative a eirontineet smoke authority spoke with pvide of the progressive spirit of Shef- field in this respect, and for the most part the loyal eo-operation of loeal man- ufacturers in euabling the authorities to overcome the smoke nuisance. Twen- ty yeare ago, he said, it was not un- etonnnon, to see black smoke emitted ' from the works chimney for 40 minutes In the hour, whereas now the average had been reduced to slightly over two :minutes per hour. Moreover, observa- tions during the last fifteen years, car- aied out at the rate of 600 per nionth, showed that the avenge of black smoke had been reduced from 12 minutes to the figure previously quoted. Instances were quoted in which firms had respond. - ad to statutory netices by replacing in- efficient smoke "prevention" plant at a cot of £600 and more. But, as he ;pointed out, the skill and care of the :stoker must necessarily count a lot if some of the raoke prevention contriv- ances are to be effective, OBJECePS OF THE EXHIBITION, The objects Of the Smoke Exhibition and conferences are: 1. To enable the public to see the 'ear - Imes appliances which are now on the market for economizing fuel, and pre - 'venting the pollution a town air by emoke. 2. To show the extent to which smoke- Uess power producers, such as electricity, and gas, can be employed for manufac- turing purposes. 3. To give manufacturers a chance of Reaming the industrial and economic ad - \vantages of smoke prevention, 4. To give householders an opportuni- ty of /earning how fuel and labor can be saved by the use of scientifically con- structed fireplam, li. To enable local authorities to com- pare notes, and discuss the 'best means of securing effective aetion in smoke pvevention. 8. To educate the public generally with regard to the injurious effects of emoke, in shutting out the sunlight, blackening the air, musing fogs, render- ing proper ventilation almost impossible, and compelling housewives to wage un- ceasing warfare aaginst dust and dirt. There was a large attendance at the opening ceremony, encl. Sir Oliver Lodge was given an enthusiastic reception. ;SIR OLIVER LODGE'S WISE WORDS. Sir Oliver Lodge said he stood as sub - Istituto for Sir William Richmond, whose absence through illness they all re - ;greeted, for he wee president and, indeed, .founder of theloridon Smoke Abatement :Society, and had devoted a surprising :amount of energy, interest and time to the subject which might have been given to his art. It nught seem surprising that an artist should specially interest )himself on the subject of the purification 'of the air, bat they remembered that artistic works were very.much dependent :upon- atmosphere, and that art itself anitst depend upon the condition of so- ts:Jay in which it tried to flourish. ((Hear, hear.) Arehiteeture, for instanee, would not be much superior to the pre- sent eormentus of opinion and stage of eulture 'which a society or city had 7eached. He expected that every city or elation had the architecture it deserved. (Laughter.) The present generation did not seem to deserve quite so highly in art, in oulpture, in architecture as, say, ties a'recks; and the reason, he was afraid, :must be sought in some defects in so- ciety and its mode of looking at things, and what they thought most worth while. tt svtie vas kind of feeling that had turnetl the attention of many artists to the a:mentiont of social life. It was this which so greatly influenced Mr. Ruskin -who was keenly interested in Sheffield -as they all knew. (Applause.) EL was this whieh turned Mr. Ruskin from his proper work to soda problems -(hean hear) -and led him to deal with nose problems in a revolutionary and n striking manner which excited ridicule and opeosition ut the time, but which had kid the foundation for a more whole- some, saner and morehumane politieal economy. (Applause.) When they eousidered life as it was, and life as it might be, they were sire& with the contrast, the speaker proceeded; they were struck with a. feeling -by no means of despair -of hope for the future hf the nee, for se many people were now realizing that life Its ie is lived to - (lay is not as it ought to be. They were realizing that all this squalor, this stream of poverty, dirt, And smoke, and other things, eniong witielt people were eontent tnore or leee to live, were not the conditions of the planet, so to speek;, were not eondtioon with Welt the lumen race ought to put rip.

People did not always real- ize what it was to be surrounded by uglieess. Referring to various toles of ugliness, including smoky chimneys, in which, he said, he was particularly interested from the technical side, he remarked that this kind of thing must be painful -and had been painful -and if it was not painful to people it was because to some extent they were los- ing their sensibility. WORTHY ONLY OP SAVAGES. Discussing the pros and cons of com- bustion from the technical side, Sir Oli- ver declared that ordinary coal fires were very imperfect things, indeed. They gave some radiation -the great factor in heating -but they also gave a great amount of trouble, and .some dirt, and the combustion was extremely imperfect. A coal fire, as a matter of fact, made gas and burned it, but a greet deal of unburned gas went up the chimney. It was a. gas fire in the first instance, but a very imperfect one. It made gas on the premises, and made it very imperfectlY. A savage could bum coal like that, and it was not quite appropriate to the 20th cere tury. A better method was to seper- ate the coke and the gas .purposely, knowing what was being done, and then, in the bouse'to burn the gas. He was convinced that gas would be laid on hi large quantities for heating and cooking purposes, and that there would be niuch more use of gas in the future. Electricity would be used. for nghting and gas for heating and cook- ing. Gas fires had greatly improved in the last ten yeers or so, but he sup- posed they would not be considered perfeeb even twenty years hence. Gas fires never ought to smell; they never ought to give trouble. They ought to give a great, amount of heat, and their convenienee was undeniable. If perified gas were burned universally the atmosphere woeld be very differ- ent. "THE TIMES ARB HOPEPUL," Sir Oliver amused his hearers with e newel proposal. ile only hoped that sonie day some totem or other in Eng, land would try the experiment of hav- ing the gas made at the coal pit and brought to the consumer in pipes, ins steed of in trueke and earts, in the same way that water and eleetricity Were now Wrought, and forbid the ins - parte -Hon of crude coal into the town at an. If one town woteld try thee experiment, and it steceeded, other towns wattle imitate it, He hoped to live to see that accomplished. (Are phiusea Two theme, he helieVoia were already thinking about it. The atmosphere in which the people of to -day lived was not the atinosphere in which English 'history was founded, and it seemed to hint that our history was getting smoky tied foggy now. *i11.0.404****t The Grippe.

April Smart Set, is the one great quality that lifts limekilnd above sordidness. Yet most men pride them- selves upon their matter-of-factness, and laugh at the pictures fancy paints. The trouble with many of us lies in this: that we laugh long before fancy 'has a fair chance to complete the enters tainment she prepares upon the spur of the moment to help no to forget, or to cheer us on our way. We even laugh be- fore the curtain rises, or Samson -like, we grasp the main pillars of the thea- tre's support and pull- the whole busi- ness down upon our heads with shouts of brutish glee. We bury ourselves in the ruins, to be euro, but we writ little of this, since the fabric is of so tenuous a nature that we feel no hurt at the time. We have vindicated the fat, pig - faced deity of "hard. sense," and are free thereafter to sweat and shiver unremit- tingly in sun and storm, without wast- ing further time in rendering homage at the thrine of the fair-spoken, illusion - breeding goddess of inveution.

Daiy, the city Police alagestrate, gave a little plain talk upon the subject of the behavior of girls upon the streets. He said that he "could couceive of nothing more disgusting than the sight of well dressed young girls, daughters of good families, chewing gam and striviug to attract the attention of men in street ears." These girls were not the product of the slums. They were children of people in good circumstances, daughters of Port Rouge mothers who thought more of dressing well and of being considered "smart" than they did of properly rearing their girls. The Magistrate expressed himself very strongly on the matteretteestid, in part: 1 wish thee Eaton's would import e carload of birch rods that these girls might be brought up in the way they should go. If yott knew what I have e gone through 2ng the last 30 dap, when I'vhad f11,ogti 20 to 25 girls, all be. tween 14 and 18 years of age, came be- fore Inc in my capacity as Magistrate, girls from good homes who have erred for want of properinstruction, you would. not wonder at what I say. You would look after your daughters if you knew the danger, you would reason with them and make them eealize that they are going wrong. Mr. Daly urged that the ministers of the city should, at lease once a month, proveli sermons on the duty owed bee parents to their children. The church had a work to do in that respeet "%Alia trftg very important. Whet it inight do for the children directly was little octets parad with what it neglie do for them by stimulating the panels to their duty in the homes. Sandrty sawn', and. -day schools, were good, but the home was the juvenile 'court. There the founda- tions of citizenship were laid. He ems phasized the duty of making home pleas- ant and attractive, aria he regretted that hundreds of clindren in the odes of Win- nipeg did not have homes in the tree sense of the, word, If the parents die- clarged their duty ill this reaped; the resulte would be b4eete.ficiel tothe city.
