Except for brief periods, immigration will not increase the population above the figure it will reach without immigration. The influences that determine population are inexorable; and if we admit those from other lands we shall decrease by a like number those who will be born of those now here. The question for cold-blooded consideration by the American today is this: Do you want the soil inherited by your son or by the son of one who now toils in a foreign land? -Conclusions reached by the Commonwealth Club of California in a study of the effect of immigration on the population of the United States. Of all the dangers that beset the modern civilized world, none are greater because none are more subtle than that of the growth of the cities at the expense of the country and the consquent over-urbanization and under-ruralization of the people.

He once set out to purchase a Granville's Calculus. Why, we don't know. After some searching he discovered a bookshop with a shelf full of technical works, but no Granville. As he was leaving, the shop keeper asked, insinuatingly, "Vell, couldn't you use a nice trigonometry?" Charlie Sutter passed by the other day and displayed a ripe mango, asking if anybody knew what it was. The inquiry resulted in suggestions ranging from pomegranates to kumquats. Jerry Sheehan, the irrepressible, opined the fruit was a capon. At Last! A vocation securing to its devotees a less meager compensation than the engineering profession has been discovered. The St. Louis Garbage Wagon Drivers are demanding an increase in emolument from $100 to $125 per month. Roach: "I can't see anything in these crepe de chine dresses." As far as we have been able to ascertain, not a single member of the Associated Societies has had a shot in the arm since "Anti-Narcotic Week." Bowen stood recently by the side of the Falls of Minnehaha in Minneapolis. His guide indicated the statue of a warrior carrying an Indian maiden across the stream and said, "That statue marks the exact spot at which Hiawatha carried Pocahontas across the Falls." Being of the name of Rolfe, the editor is reminded by this story of a news dispatch published some time ago, conveying the information. that a certain British army officer named Smith was a direct descendant of John Smith and Pocahontas.

The following extract is from a letter to us by Enoch Ohnstrand, Chief Engineer, LIBRARY BUREAU, Ilion, N. Y. "We figure that this repair on this machine showed a sufficient saving to pay for the installation of our electric equipment, as the machine which was broken down was a special machine made years ago for this Company, and even if it had been an up-to-date machine, we could not have purchased this part for anywhere near the price of the electric welder which we pur chased from you and which we used for doing this work. I am pleased to advise you that we got splendid results from the job and in a very short time. The repairs, so far as welding was concerned, were made in about three hours actual time." The line of G-E Electric Arc Welders includes types of stationary and portable sets for hand welding-and automatic and semi-automatic machines.
