Novel Exhibition Opened in the City of Sheffield, England. Much has been written in the press during the past year in support or the elaims of the cutlery capital to the name of "Sunny Shclfidd," seeing that its record of bright sunshine outrivals that of other towns and cities of its kind, and yet the fact remains that the «ity, its workmen and its manufacturers ylory in its reputation for smoke, For, =fter all, the dirt and grime and smoke ‘1 industrial Sheffield are one mOl of its prosperity,. Whether it is rable to have so much of it or not is quite anâ€" other matter. But at its blackest the wity is not nearly #so black as painted by some outside observers. Its people ure fully alive to the necessity and adâ€" vaniages of applying science to mitigate the smoke AH fume evil, and thereby ensure a more healthy ntmoo};hen, more particularly in the centres of activity. 2, To show the extent to which smo less power producers, such as electric and gas, can be employed for manw turing purposes, 3. To give manufacturers a chance learning the industrial and economic vantages of smoke prevention. (Skeffield Independent.) A novel and interesting Smoke Abateâ€" ment Exhibition was opened in the Corn kxchange, Sheffield, on Monday, by Sir (liver Lodge. Chatting with our representative a prominert smoke authority spoke with pride of the progressive spirit of Shefâ€" field in this respect, and for the most part the loyal ewomintion of local manâ€" ufacturers in enabling the authorities to overcome the smoke nuisance, Twenâ€" ty years ago, he said, it was not un: «ommon to see black smoke emitted from the works chimney for 40 minutes in the hour, whereas now the average had hbeen reduced to slightly over two minutes per hour, . Moreover, observaâ€" tions dnrfig the last fifteen years, car ried out at the rate of 500 per month, whowed that the average of black asmoke had been reduced from 12 minutes to the figure previously quoted. Instances were quoted in whle{ ?u'ms had respondâ€" ed to statutory nctices by replacing inâ€" »ffilcient smoke "prevention" plant at a cost of £500 and more. But, as he pointed out, the skill and care of the stoker must necessarily count a lot if some of the smoke prevention contrivâ€" unces are to be effective. OBJECTS OF THE EXHIBITION. ‘Lhe objects of the Smoke Exhibition and conferences are: 1. To entble the public to see the varâ€" iows appliances which are now on the market for economizing fuel, and preâ€" venting the pollution of town air by amoke. 4. To give householders an opportuniâ€" ty of Iearnini how fuel and hgor can he saved by the use of scientifically conâ€" P\l’leted fireplaces, 5. To enable loeal authorities to comâ€" pare notes, and discuss the best meaus of securing effective action in smoke prevention. E* mt 6. To educate the public generally with regard to the injurions effecia of *moke, in shutting out the . sunlight, blackening the air, causing fogs, renderâ€" ing proper ventilation almost impossible, and compelling housewives to wage unâ€" weasing warfare aaginst dust and dirt. There was a large attendance at the anvening ceremony, and Sir Oliver Lodge There was a large attendance at the opening ceremony, and Sir Oliver Lodge was given an enthusiastic reception. sIR OLVER LODGE‘s WISE WORDS. Sir Oliver Lodge said he stood as subâ€" stitute for Sir William Richmond, whose wbsence through illiness they all reâ€" gretted, for he was president and, indeed, founder of the London Smoke Abatement Society, and had devoted a lurrtining amount of energy, interest and time to the subject which might have been given to his art. _ It might seem surprising that an artist should specially interest himseli on the subject of the purification of the air, but they remembered that artistic works were very much dependent upon atmosphere, and that art itself must depend upon the condition of soâ€" ciety in which it tried to flourish. (Mear, hegr.) Architecture, for instance, eould not be much superior to the genâ€" eral concensus of opinion and stage of eulture which a society or city had reached. He expected that every city or nation had the architecture it deserved. (Laughter.) Sheffieldâ€"as they all knew. (Applause.) It was this which turned Mr. Ruskin from his proper work to social problems â€"â€"(hear, hear)â€"and led him to deal with those problems in a revolutionary and striking manner which excited ridicule and opposition ut the time, but which had laid the foundation for a more wholeâ€" some, saner and more humane political economy. (Applause.) When they considered lifs as it was, and life as it might be, they were struck with the contrast, the speaker proceeded ; they were struck with a feelingâ€"by no means of despairâ€"of hope for the future of the race, for so many people were now realizing that life as it is lived toâ€" day is not as it ought to be. They were realizing that all this squalor, this stream of poverty, dirt, and smoke, and other things, among which people were content more or less to live, were not the conditions of the planet, so to speak; were not condtions with which the human race ought to put up. Those conâ€" ditions were conditions which the race had brought about, and which only they themselves could mend. The earth was beautiful in the extreme in places where nobody livedâ€"(laughter and applause) â€" but in places where people lived together The present generation did not seem to deserve quite so highly in art, in seulpture, in architecture as, say, the CGreeks; and the reason, he was afraid, must be sought in some defects in soâ€" eiety and its mode of looking at things, and what they thought most worth while. It was this kind of feeling that had turned the attention of many artists to the condition of social life. It was this which so greatly influenced _ Mr. Ruskinâ€"who was keenly interested in Sheffieldâ€"as they all knew. (Applause.) It was this which turned Mr. Ruskin from his proper work to social problems â€"â€"(hear, hear)â€"and led him to deal with those problems in a revolutionary and striking manner which excited ridieule for social or business purposes, or conâ€" venience of all kinds, no precautions had been taken to keep it beautiful. They had made the earth ugly and #poilt its facs. One thing the speculative builder did when he was going to rig up houses for the people was to eut down trees and make the place a wildermessâ€"a atriking eontrast to what was done in Switzerâ€" land when chalets were built. SCIENCE AND sMOKE. It would make a a vast difference to Sir Oliver urged, i which smokeâ€" as electricity, for manufacâ€" such a state of things at home could be altered. People did not always realâ€" ize what it was to be surrounded . by ugliness. Referring to various forms oi 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 painfulâ€"and had been painfulâ€"and it it was not painful to people it was because to some extent they were losâ€" ing their sensibility. WORTHY ONLY OF SAVAGES. Discussing the pros and cons of comâ€" bustion from the technical side, Sir Oliâ€" ver declared that ordinary coal fires were very imperfect _ things, indeed. They gave some radiationâ€"the . great factor in heatingâ€"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 great deal oi unbursed 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 burn coal like that, and it was not quite appropriate to the 20th cenâ€" tury. _A better method was to separâ€" ate the coke and the gas . purposely, knowing _ what was being done, and then, in the house, to burn the gas. He was convinced that gas would be laid on in large quantities for heating and cooking purposes, and that there would be much more use of gas in the future. Electricity would be used for lighting and gas for heating and cookâ€" ing. Gas fires had greatly improved in the last ten years or so, but he supâ€" posed _ they would not be considered perfect even twenty years hence. Pnd dhcacnds id ie BWn cicns 206. 7e it Cni y CGas fires never ought to smell; they never ought to give â€"trouble,. _ They ought to give a great amount of hegt, and their convenience was undeniable. If purificd gas were burned universally the atmosphere would be very differâ€" ent. "THE TIMES ARE HOPEFUL." Bir Oliver amused his hearers with a novel proposal, _ He only hoped that some day some town or other in Engâ€" land would try the experiment of bayâ€" ing the gas made at the coal pit and brought to the consumer in pipes, inâ€" stead of in trucks and carts, in the same way that water and electricity were now brought, and forbid the im« portation of erude coal into the town at all. If one town would try that exâ€" periment, and it _ succeeded, _ other towns wrould imitate it. He hoped to live to _ see that accomplished. (Apâ€" plause.) Two towns, he believed, were already thinking about it, The atmosphere in which the people of toâ€"day lived was not the atmosphere in which English history was founded, and it seemed to him that our history was getting smoky and foggy now. ‘That‘s the grippe!

Imagination, says _ Charles _ Francis Read in the April Smart Sct, is the one great quality that lifts mankind .above sordidness. Yet most men pride themâ€" selves upon their matterâ€"ofâ€"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 enterâ€" tainment she prepares upon the spur of the moment to help us to forget, or to cheer us on our way. We even laugh beâ€" fore the curtain rises, or Samsonâ€"like, we grasp the main pillars of the theaâ€" tre‘s support and pull the whole busiâ€" ness down upon our heads with shouts of brutish gloe. We bury ourselves in the ruins, to be sure, but we wot little of this, since the fabric is of so tennous a nature that we feel no hurt at _ the time. We have vindicated the fat, pigâ€" faced deity of "hard sense," and are free thereafter to sweat and shiver unremitâ€" tingly in sun and storm, without wastâ€" ing further time in rendering homage at the ihrine of the fairâ€"spoken, illusionâ€" breeding goddess of invention.

Suppose you write to me and tell me just what shape the ceiling problem takes to you â€"ask me to resolve your doubts In an address delivered in Grace Church, Winsipeg, T. M. Daly, the city Police Magistrate, gave a little plain talk upon the subject of the behavior of girls upon the streets. He said that he "could conceive of nothing more disgusting than the sight of weli dressed young girls, daughters of good families, chewing gum and striving to attract the attentioa of men in sireet cars." These girls were not the product of the slums. They were ehildren of people in good cireumstances, daughters of Fort 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 matter, He said, in part: I wish that Eaton‘s would import a carload of birch rods that these girls might be brought ui in the way they should go. If you knew what I have gone through during the last 30 days, tell me just what shape the my output includes the larges and handsomest array of deâ€" signs in easy reading and that my ccilings are made with more perfect tools and in greater â€" perfection, by fl far. 1'hau any other kind 1 wish that Eaton‘s would import a carload of birch rods that these girls might be brought ug‘ in the way they should go.

The church had a work to do in that respect which was very in:f»ortant. What it might do for the ‘children directly was little comâ€" pired with what it might do for them by stimulating the parents to their duty in the homes. Sunday schools, and day schools, were good, but the home was the juvenile court. ‘There the foundaâ€" tions of citizenship were laid.

Something About the Imperial Press The programme of the Imperial press conference to be held in London in June is now nearing completion, The gatherâ€" ing will be not merely unique in the hisâ€" tory of English journalism, but an event of national importance. _ It is being treated as such by the Government and by the great political and social forces of the country. _ 6 4 2 High Old Time Awaiting Camadian Newspaper Men in Britain. For the first time nearly a thousand British journalists, representing every shade of cpinion and every part of the motherland will be gathered together to do honor to the press of the Empire. The other sixty are picked delegates from the three thousand newspaper ofâ€" fices of Greater Britain chosen by their colleagues, 8 At the inaugural banquet, in the Hall of Music at the Imperial International Exhibition on June 5, nearly one thousâ€" and British journalists and delegates are expected to be present. It is at this gathering thar Lord Rosebery will give his opening address. Canada will send a delegation which has been described by Lord Strathcona as men "worthy of representing not only the Canadian press, but the Canadian geople." Australia, and New Zealand ave chosen not only delegates from the splendid dailies of the older States, but othersâ€"pioneers typifying the romance of the press in a new land, men who started with their hand presses in goldâ€" field dugouts and "boom" town shacks, and saw their ventures grow into the powerful organs of mighty communities. India, the far east and other parts are all adequately voiced. HISTORIC SURROUNDINGS, The surroundings of the conference have been moulded on lines worthy of the occasion. The assemblies proper will be held in the conference room of the Foreign Office, the ouly official chamber large enough to hold the delegates, This has been lent by the Government, and marks the historical side and the Imperâ€" fal character of the assembly. The Australian and New _ Zealand guests will reach Vancouver on May 5, and will spend about sixteen dAva in Canada. Preparations are already in progress to give a welcome there worthy of the best Canadian traditions. This will culminate in an official recertion by Lord Grey, the Governorâ€"General, at Otâ€" tawa. The Canadian delegates will join the Australians enroute, and will travel on with them. Arriving in London, they will be housed at the Waldorf Hotel, TINAUGURAL BANQUET. The social side will be, as the Spectaâ€" tor has well put it, "the kind of welcome ambassadors could not expect to have offered to them." The Government, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Lord Mayor and Parliament will all in turn entertain the delegates, There will be a special military review at Aldershot and a naval display at Portsmouth in their honor. The great cities of the north are arranging for visits from them when the conference proper has concluded. Upon all sides it has been realized that this affords a great opportunity . of showing to the men who are the eyes and ears of Greater Britain what the power and resources of the motherland are. The conference meetings at the Forâ€" eign Office start on Monday morning, and last each day from 11 to 1. These meetings will be private. Some of the great statesmen of toâ€"day, Im erial as well as national, will join in lfiem, disâ€" cussing various aspects of the mission and work of the press throughout the Empire _ The list of receptions and entertain ments includes the following: _ 6 On Sunday, June 6, the visiting ediâ€" tors will be the guests of Lord Burnham at Hall Burn. On Monday, June 7, a luncheon will be given at the House of Commons by members of the Houses who are associâ€" ated with literature 0; joumulism'.'u?d Leading statesmen, Liberal and Unionâ€" ist alike, and great proâ€"consuls, such as Lord Cromer and Lord Milner, will parâ€" ticipate in this gathering.

They are the chicf cause of this unhappy war. They fan the flames of local hatred and keep alive those prejudices which have forced friends into opposing hostile ranks. At the north and south each radical class keeps its volaries filled with the most outrageous lies of the other.
