60N ell this, Ye! he felt it hie duty to
keep bis country out of the struggle.
Tne President saw the Lusitauia, with
American teen,. women and chiliren,
ruthlessly and eruelle sent to the
bottom of tee sea, and yet he tem-
porized and reanoned mid wrote notes,
/le wished to keep his countrytout of
war. We do not blame hien for this.
Ilis was a great responsibility, and if
he could botiorably keep the nation
out of the awful struggle it was his
right and hie duty to do so,
But themore the President hesi-
tated and the more notes he wrote to
Germany, the more emboldened she
became, Seeing defeat facing her, thr
'German Government went one step
farther, and declared •war against
neutrulity. It proposed to killiar:1 vie -
tory from defeat by waging eulnnarine
war against. the whole world. It
wurnod all neutral nations, the United
States included, to keep- off the waters
that were declared closed seas to
everything but German submarines.
To disobey this order meant that all
Mapping found within the barred zone
would be sent to the bottom of the
deep without warning, and the Cert
mans lost no Um in putting their
threat, into operatioa, American ves•
sole being torpedoed without warning.
and Amerieen citizens allowed to
drown itt midocean.
lep 'to thle time President Type
had borne with infinite patieeen the
attacks of Germany upon the lives ane
property of the people of the United
States. But he could no longer ignore
the faet that a "state a war" existed
between Germany and the' thitted
States. What must have nerved him
at the decisive moment was the Ger-
man Chancellor's aiyogaut statement
that, no matter what happened, Ger-
many would continue to sink and
ttrown American citizens if caught
within the barred zone. It was a
dramatia and historic occasion when
President Wilson appeared before
Congress evening, and after recit-
ing the wrongs his country bad sule
fered at the hands of Germany,
advised "that the Congress declare the
recent course of the Imperial German
Government to be. in fact nothing less
than war against the Government and
formally accept the status of belliger.
people of the United States, that it
ent which has thus been thrust upon
it, and tthat it take immediate steps
not only to put. the country in a more
thorough state of defence, but also to
exert all its power and employ all et
resources to bring the Government of
the German Empire to terms and end
the war."
This statement, which is tantamount
to a declaration of war, although the
President was careful not to ask for
such a declaration, was received with
cheers by the Congressmen and others
present. The President followed this
up by stating the determination of the
Government to co-operate with the
Allies in their prosecution of the war.
He said: "What thIs will involve is
clear. it will involve the utmost prac-
ticable co-operation in counsel an
action with the Governnients .noeeeat
war with Germany, and, as incident
to that, the extension to those Gov-
ernments of the most liberal financial
credits in order that our resources
may, so far as possible, be added to
theirs." We have here it grim deter-
mination to prosecute the war with
the whole force and strength of the
United States. She will not confine
herself merely to a defensive war. Site
will fight for a speedy overthrow ot
the German military octopus, and an
early termination of the war. We
expressed the belief a dIty or two ago
that that hebuld be the course mapped
out by the President.
President Wilson and Mr. Asquith
are agreed on what they are fighting
for, The President declared; "We
shall fight for the things which we
have always carried nearest our
hearts -for democracy -for the right
of those who submit to authority to
have a voice in their own govern-
ment; for the rights and liberties of
email nations; for a universal d0-
minicet of right by such a concert of
free peoples as shall bring peace and
hafety to all nations and make the
world itself at last free." Mr, AsqUith'e
declaration stilt stands': "We shall
never sheathe the sword until Belgium
recovers in full Measure all, and inore
than all, that site has sacrificed, until
'Prance is adequately secured against
the menace of aggression, until the
rights of the smaller nationalities of
Europe are placed upon an pnassall.

domination of Prussia is whelly and
finally deetroyed."
It will lake perhaps; a day or two
before the Senate passes the. necessary
mien:tures to carry out the Preeident's
request, bet in the meantime no time
Is being lost. All the departments are
busy preparing for whatever may be
the eventitetities. The Arneriean
people, with their known patriotism
and thoreughness, will give the Gov.
ernment every enceut•agenient, and we
itnagine that the action of the Ameri-

They go' back to the ballroom, and
Signe, determined that he shall do his
duty, slips her hand from bis' arm
and joins the group at the further end
of the room.
Her -reappearance creates a sensa-
tion, and it would amuse a philoso-
pher, given to weighing the motives
of humanity, to observe the charged
manner with which she ts greeted.
She is no longer Sigma Grenville, en-
gaged to plain Hector Warren, but

with a smite, and sweeps her own

with a word and a smile, and seats
heraelf beside Signe for a moment or
two.
"Tell ine, my dear, candidly, did

Signe blushes and shakes her bead.
"No -if you mean that Hector War-

It is not a very brilliant conversa-

Signa'a success, the duke's expressed
approval would supply it, Every one
in the room is now prepared to go in-
to ecstaeles over her. From a little
distance, where he is making himself
pleasant and doing leis duty as the
hest, Lord Delamere sees the little
ducal ineldene and snaties with pride
and satisfaction.
"My darling" -he thiuks-"not fit
to be a conntess. There is no one here
who is half as fit!"
• No sooner has the duke assigned his
partner than half a dozen men come
forward eager to inscribe their names
on her-balprogramme, and Signa is
soon whirling round the room with a
young marquis who Isfortunate en-
ougleto find a dance disengaged.
Laura Derwent looks on •with a
smile. •
"She deserves it all!" she says, ale
meet to herself. "I never aaw a girl
take her homers more quietly! Ninety-
nine women Out of a hundred would
lieve their heads turned."
"Signe is the hundredth!" says Lady
Rookwell, with a smile which for once
la not sarcastic. "Think of it! She has

CANADA'S NATURAL
RESOURCES
An Important survey of tbe natural
resources of Canada is being uneer-
taken in =eaten with. the •Cane•
Man Pacific Railway, whieh has for
iLs purpoee the co-ordination of the
work whice ham been so svell deep by
many government acmartments ited
with it oteer data whieh the govern
meta has not collected, thereby malt
ing easily accessible to those qualifitel
to utilize the information as much
data as possible relative to the nat-
ural resources of Canada. Great care
will be taken not to do work that
has already been well done, and the
effort is one which distinctly cane
for cc -operation. Arthur D. Little,
,LimIted, the Canadian branch of 1,
Boston organization et auttlyalcal
eliemists, ere the direttors of tbe
work mid will do their part of the
work with the seine altruistic epirit
they hope to rina aMolla those wile-
aselst The information now available
is to be collected on standard forme,
is to be transferred to cards in a
manner to make it possible to quickly
separate the 'cards according to re
quired classification at the motneut.
Thus if one desires to know all the
places in Canada where depositor
iron are to be found in proxiinity with
limestone, water power, or eume other
resource, the list of localities can be
supplied very quickly. To accomplieh
this work, which is in the interest
of the whole Dominion, it will he
necessary to have part time aesistanee
from a great many people who will be
willing to devote a very small fraction
01 their spare time to the work be-
cause or self interest, patriotism, local
pride, ane in some cases nomindl re-
muneration. Those to whom the plan
!!as been explained have offered their
co•operation, and have been enthusias-
tic over the possibilities of the work

THE STORY OF GL.ASS.
dor.,
How Made and What Used for in
. Electrical Industry.
•
Glass is older than the arts. Volcanic
glass was in use la the stone ago. The
cave man made from it arrow points,
spears, knives, etc., because it could bo
chipped to a razor eutting edge. Ob-
sidian, or volcanic glass, was exten-
sively used by the Aztecs ot Mexico
and the Rictus of -Peru for the same
purpose, Many a doughty Spaniard
fell beneath the great two-handed
woodeut swords, withseriated teeth of
volcanio glass, in the hands of Miente-
Anna's warriors. It is to be inferred
thitt the earlier civilization evottld act
on this suggestion from nature and
endeavor to make, glass by the fusion
of certain recite and sands. Glass is
very old. Its manufacture was com-
mon in ancient times.
Chemically, any vitreous compound
ealled glass. Commercially, glass
is a fused mixture of two or more sit-
icateg and is often nanted front the
predominant base, as "soda glass,"
"potash glass," "lime glass" and "lead
glass." *ft is usually transparent, or
at least translucent, and is brittle at
ordinary temperatures. Sand is now
genertdly used for obtaining the sili-
cates which form the base of glass.
Tho sand for the finer qualities of the
glass is quarried. The principal de-
posits of rand for glass -making in the
'United States are in ltiassachttectts, Il-
linois, Ohlo, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Indiana, MIs -
part of the country.
There are innumerable kinds of
glass. Some are named for their uses
as battle glats, mirror gem, opeleal
glass, window glass. Others, accord-
ing to the process of mautteeeture, as
blown glass, pressed glees, cast glee%
cut glass, ground stage, Other are
named .according to the localities from
which they are obtatued, as are Blar,
Bohemkan, Murano, Venetian _of Ven-
ice and Giebain glass. Still other
names are given to glass, according to
finish aud form, as kinkled, corrug-
peed, tluted and spun glass, Then
there is agate, marbleized, rose argen-
tine, aveuturino, favrile, bronzed, sil-
vered and platinized glass. The cesma
inonest kind of glass, however, ie flint
glaze, and thie includes all the myriad
forms of giant and bottle glass, Be -
stiles all thee% there ere stained,
painted, colored and mosaic glass.
The principal bases used for malting
all gimes, are sodimn, potassium, cal-
cium and lead. A host of other In-
gredients are usedin making glass, for
coloring, etc., but these vary greatly
with the many,. different Wails corn-
pamieS and no definite informe.tioa
can be given as to their use, Very
often colored glass is made ordinarily
like any other gimes, the coloring being
accomplished by the addition of dyes
(generally metal oxides) to the molten
charge, The same metal produces
several different colors at various
temperatures. Niore estten, however,
colored glass is stained, painted or en-
ameled, and when joined by ..stri9s of
lead to form a pattern, is called mo-
saic,
Probably the largest use for glass in
the electrical trade is in connection
with the lighting fixture business, Per
this class of trade the glass that le
most used is milky white opaque glee
called bone, milk, opal, alabaster or
rich stone glass. Colored or stained
'glass, cut glass and glass that is green
on one side and white on the other,
are often used Tor lighting tixtures.,
Colored glass is principally used for
domes, cut -glass for flowers and chan-
deliers, and the white and green glass
principally for hell shades and para-
bola reflectors. Mirror glass, too, la
used to a large extent for reflectors.
While It is impossible to state defin-
itely the kind of glass tbat is used
