Paris. Dec. S.—America lias starled
a new current of civilization in Hu-
world. according to (Tugliclmo E. m-ro.
the Roman historian. Prof Ferrero in
a levturc Iwftro the Soeiete Des Confer-
cnees Etrangeres in Paris emit nisi d
America and Europe and declared that
new standards of judgment mist In
formed if Europe is to undestand Am
erica at its true value.
“W»* are accustomed "said lie. "to re
Hard tilings solely in terms of quality.
Me look upon the riches of America
for instance; wilh a kind of disdain.
‘ **e\ are often regarded :n Korop'- b.
the Maine light as the riches of a bar-
barous p ople which to acquire them
has forsaken man's superior spiritual
activities. It is not necessary to spend
lunch time in America to sec that Am
ericans arc very far from being deeoted
solely to Hi - pursuit of wealth
“I have also heard it said that Am
ericans are without taste for arl: Dial
their cities art* hideous. They are pie
lured as paying large prices for any
tiling that is antique or passes as such
without distinguishing Hi - beautiful and
the authentic from the mediocre and
tin* false. It is unjust to say that the
American is indifferent to beauty. More
over who would dare (o affirm that the
progr. ss of (he ai ls letters and seienc
cs is at this moment the principal pre
occupation of the old world? Listen to
what is said about us. \Ve hear nothing
but talk of perfecting economic equip
incut the exploitation of iron and coal
mines industrial d.vc’opmcnt and how
to increase trade. If all iliis is Amoi
can. then Europe must be undergoing
Americanization at an auiiziuglv rap
id pace."
M. I'orrora sees in this now spirit
which has developed since tin- discov
ory of America an immense historical
movement which threatens to overthrow
the very foundations of the present ei\
ilization. It is founded on the idea ol
progress which horn at tin* end of the
seventeenth or the beginning of tin
eighteenth e utiiry. now dominates uiii
civilization.
“The idea of this progress is as vague
jiimI indefinite in its meaning.*' said M.
Kerrero “as it is popular and powerful
in action. Hut it is a strange plienoni
ena that just in this e nlury of so>-n led
progress everyone seems to he complain
ing of the decadence of things. Are we
progressing <rr are wv not? Can it he
that this progress for which we sacri-
tiee onr repose our Irnaquilfitx md
sometimes even our lives i-. onh an il
lusion? This is the suprem • problem
which presented itself to me as the re-
sult of all T :!iw and learnt diirh!r on
travels in North and South \nrri< t.
“In former times qunliix was mor
important than quantity. We have now
reversed the world in which onr ances-
tors lived piling up riches has become
our aim. We have won liberty destroyed
almost all !ite limitations of tin- past
but we have had in I he process to nhnn
ilou almost all the ideals of artistic
moral or religions perfection held in
yen rat oil by our ancestors. Nowadays
we must everywhere sacrifice quality to
quantity.
“Thus there arc two standards In
which we may judge Civilization the
standard ol quality. One is typifi d by
the civilization of America and the ot!i
er by the past civilization of Kurope.
Kit her. judged by the other's standard
will appear deliei lit. Von cannot re
proach a presidential candidate in the
United States who is compelled to main*
half a dozen speeehes during the day
if his style is not so polished u**r his
phrases so nicely turned as those of i
eero. Nor would you expect sirelt gems
of oratory from Cicero if he had Y-en
called upon to conilpi with the same de-
mands as aiv made upon the modern >r
ator.
A'tlin rrmlitets. Some very pretty
beads made of ebony and .Mexican cor
;il beans were shown here this week by
ills. M. T. Hughes of Nopalita. who
was in town on business. The beads
were worked into long strings the oik*
of small jet black balls the other of ir
regularly shaped red beads first soak
ing the beans in carbon Id-sulphide to
render them immune to weevils then
polishing them and piercing each with
a coarse needle. They taken high polish
and the result well repays the effort.
As a sample of the use of native pro-
ducts for making souvenirs these beads
are quite effective. Californians worked
up their uhtivc abalone shells into sou
venirs. and other countries utilize var
ions products similarly. It i' probabl
lde that quite a nice trade in these eb
onv and Mexican coral In-ads could be
developed.

One or tin* factors to be considered in
tile heating id a dwel ing during cold
weather is ih amount ot moisture eon
tained in the air. This fador is perhaps
as important as the temperature in <le

and 1 he r suiting eomfort to tIn* occii
units. Cod air Will not hold as much
moisture as warm air. and when air be
