Another instance in which Mayor Diehl shows good perception is in his ability to distinguish between personal and professional relations.
There are men, even lawyers, in this city who would readily declare that although lawyer was retained to prosecute against a man it did not at all follow he had any personal animus against that man. But these same men will immediately conclude that, since, through politice or some other cause. a newspaper writer takes a position adverse to another man, It must be because the writer has some personal desire to embarrass or annoy him. But the Mayor, although he some time becomes offended for a short time, is pretty tree from this narrow way looking at things.

Vice President Has Secured Commodious Quarters for His Family, Owners of windows along the line of march of the inaugural parade on March are alowly awakening to the fact-that their prices are so steep that purchasers of the privilege of seeing the parade are being frightened away, BOyh Washington Dispatch. Prices for windows on avenue have mounted upward with alarming rapidity, and. though some excessively high rates, have been paid by men who can afford to do no, the vast majority of these windows are still unrented.
Two hundred dollars is the price for the use of one small room with one or two windows, while the rooms with one or two windows and a balcony cannote be had for less then $500. One choice location brought $1000 cash for the 4th of March. This room In a large, spacious parlor over a drug store, directly opposite the Treasury Department, and in such a position that an entire view of the court of honor in front of the White House can be had. Vice-President-elect Theodore Roosevelt gave up $1000 to this druggist for the use of this room and balcony. He has taken the room for his family and his sister, and will also have a few invited guests.
Dinner will be served in the room while the parade passes. Some curious opinions have been expressed about his leasing this room. It has been generally supposed that the President and the Vice-President would have unlimited accommodation on the President's reviewing stand, and in tact, Roosevelt's family and his sister's family and his friends could all be accommodated there if he so desired.

His discovery established the fact that in the Silurian period there were insects, though, as the only plece of his remains found was a wing. there has been room for dispute as to the exact species. Mr.
Goss In his preface to the second edition of his book says that what is probably a still older insect has been found in the lower Silurian, in Sweden. This was not a co*ckroach, but apparently something worse. If the Latin name, Protocimex Silurius, be literally translated. it means the original Silurlan bug. The Spectator.

In recommending the establishment of an endowed theater Richard Mansfield advances a proposition that has been presented many times before, but which in at the present juncture especially timely, Mr. Mansfeld's theory la that the theater in an educational influence. It should be, no doubt. and in some instances It is. But the forcem which at present control the theater are such that the opportunities for developing it as an educational factor are reduced to a minImum.
It was inevitable that sooner or later the management of houses of amusem*nt should have become primarily business matter, and as in all other lines of business the financial considerations control. Most ambitious managers would prefer to produce plays which should be successes of art as well as successes of the box office, but the combination of the two elements is not usual. As between art and money, art too often has to take a back seat. The object of the management In great number of cases is to produce plays which shall insure the maximum of profit with the minimum of expense necessary to attract the public. In short, the manager "gives what the public and he naturally feels that It would be futile as well as costly to give It what It obviously doesn't want.
At the same time this condition of affairs constitutes an obstacle to Improvement along original lines. The it has been found, is satisfied with plays not of the highest quality and with plays made over by adaptation from French or German productions. There la no need for the native playwright, and, what is quite as bad, there 18. no need for the original or unconventional dramatist of any country, the managers disliking to depart from lines in which they are sure of success. In recent years the organization of strong syndicate for the complete control of American plays, players and playhouses has added to the forces tendIng to discourage a drama which would be truly An endowed theater seems to afford the one way out of the difficulty.
Placed in the hands of men of high purpose and ability, It would afford a testing place for the new dramas of the best sort. and It would tend to raise the standards throughout the theatrical calling. It would not be hampered by considerations of money, and though it might occasionally produce plays at 8 loss, it seems not unlikely that It would often enlist popular interest and patronage to a remarkable degree. One such success for a drama of the highest literary qualIty would have Its obvious effect in stimulating public Interest and forcing the production of similar works in other theaters. The Independent theater is to be welcomed.
Chicago Record. COPPER IS THE AMERICAN METAL. This Country Produces Half the World's Supply -Export 1,000,000 Lbs. a Day. Copper is the American metal par excellence.
We shall mine 600,000,000 pounds of it in 1901, and will sell to foreign consumers over 1,000,000 pounds per day. In fact, we produce considerably more than one-half the world's total supply of copper, Copper mining has a very picturesque interest, for more reasons than one. In point of beauty the metal is hardly surpassed even by gold, rivaling the latter in the briliancy of its yellow glitter when new and unoxidized. So far as usefulness goes, iron is its only superior, and within the last few years there has been an enormous increase in its production, owing chiefly to the development of electrical industries. Immense quantities of copper are required by the telegraph, telephone and the electric railway, as well as for wires used in the transmission of electric power.
The great "boom" in copper production came at the end of the eighties, when there was much speculation in the metal, and since then the increased price has led to an eager seeking for fresh deposits. There has been a feverIsh development of new mines in various parts of the world, but, notwithstanding the anxiety of the search, no great properties have been discovered. Improved processes have made it possible to extract the copper profitably from very low-grade ores, some of them containing as little as -half of 1 per while 2 per cent. is considered rich, and it is mainly to this cause that the wonderful growth of the output may be attributed. Though we are by far the largest users of the metal, we are able, while supplying our own wants, to export immense quantities) In fact, we sell to foreign purchasers as much as we util1ze ourselves, Great Britain, France and Germany taking pretty nearly all of the copper ingots and plates that we send abroad.
Those countries- excepting Germany, which has only a small output--are not producers of copper. During the year 1900 we sold to foreign consumers about 381,000,000 pounds of copper. Full statistics of production for that twelvemonth have not yet been gathered by the United States geological survey, but the output of this country in 1899 was 567,500,000 pounds. In the same year the rest of -North America contributed 95,594,000 pounds; South America yielded 73,315,000 pounds; Europe sent to market 204,075,000 pounds; Asia furnished 61.734.000 pounds; Australla supplied 40,096,000 pounds, and Africa added for her share 14,537,000 pounds, the output of the entire world being thus somewhat over 1,000,000,000 pounds of the metal. The bulk of the copper output of this country comes from three States Michigan, Montana and Arizona.
