Oliver Lodge,
The eeleibition bee been omanizee by
the Sheffield Federated Heelth Moeit.

snsaller organizetioue repreeenting the
cliurehes, the teaching profession alia

to be the tint exhibitien of its kind in
the Provincee.
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

such a state of things at home could
be altered. 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.

PARENTOF PROGRESS
The Part imagination Plays in the
History of the World.
Imagination, says Charles Frauds
Read in the. 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.

HOME DUTIES.
In an address delivered in Grace
Church, Winnipeg, T. M. 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.

SNOWBALLED AN EMPEROR,
Hit His Nose, But Only Made Him
Laughs,
One winter's day, years ego, wheu
the suety had covered tho grounds in
Berlin to a good thickness, the Emperor
and his wife, the Empress, vent out into
tbe streets for a ride in e sleigh, which,
as you know, glides over the snow with-
out wheels and is pulled by horses.
They were going through one of the
streets when they came times a merry
party of schoolboys, and the boys were
so busy snowballiug each other that
they did not at all notice wbo was near,
The result was that one of the snowballs
hit the Emperor on his nose!
What a commotion there was when
the boys saw what had been done, /or
they knew the Emperor quite well by
sight, as they frequently saw him rid-
ing and, driving.
Thl little boy who had thrown the
snowball, however: did nob run away.
Ire went toward the Emperor and said:
"Did I herb you, Herr Kaiser?"
This was said in so anxious a tone
that both the Emperor and the Emprese
burst out laugbing, but the little boy

"You can hit me back, aud we'll call
it square!" said he. The Emperor and
Empress now laughed more than ever,
and before driving away they asked the
boy for his name and address.
The boy told them, and next day he
received the prettiest little present you
ever saw,
