Advertising in Berlin.
Billboards for advertising purposes
aix: prohibited in Berlin. Their place
Ih taken by pillars or columns erecte,
at street corners.
These columns, which are usually of
wood and iron, are about 12 feel high
and 3 feet in diameter. Built at the
edge of the sidewalk, they form a con-
spicuous feature of street life in that
city.
It Is Interesting to note, says the
Circle, that the matter displayed on
these columns is more in the nature
of reading notices than of pictures.
The privilege of erecting and using
these advertising columns is awarde.
by the city to the highest bidder. Ac-
cording to the terms of the lease now
in force, the city receives an annual
rental of about $95,200, but cannot
grant a similar privilege to any one
else. The life of the lease is ten
years.
The price which the successful bid-
der may charge for space is regulated
by the Berlin authorities. All posters
before they are put up must be ap-
proved by the police. Ex cept in spe-
cial cases, the advertising space is
awarded according to the order of ap-
plication. The city reserves the right
to demand the posting of its notices
free.

Why Not Protect Human Life?
The second coal mine slaughter in
a few weeks is a sharp reminder that
if it Is good on the part of the national
government to gather and publish
knowledge for tho protection of crops
the. resources of central power ought
to be applied to ihe preservation of
human life.
Valuable work lias been done by
the Washington bureau in learning the
adaptability ot cereals and trees aud
discovering the best way to overcome
plagues attacking important crops,
such as cotton. But the fight against
tuberculosis in human beings, for in-
stance, is left to the limitations of
private research aud private endow-
ment.
One of the finest and most useful
developments of the. United States
government has been building up bu-
reaus of experts to investigate and
report on the problems of agriculture.
These United Slates expert* have
told the farmers about the hardihood
aud productiveness ol' plants in wide-
spread climates, soils and moistures.
They have sent out immensely val-
uable knowledge about cereals, trees
and breeding domestic animals, and
ihe prevention of parasitic pests in
plant and beast. This work will grow.
It ought to grow. It should be gener-
ously supported by congressional ap-
propriations.
This activity of the national gov-
ernment (including the official inves-
tigation of the wholesomeness of
foods) is based on tho fact that pri-
vate research usually is lacking in
resource unless its investigations are
capable of money profit. Much wis-
dom has - been lost because wise
though money-incapable men had no
means of spending their wisdom.
What duty of central government
is more natural than supporting and
carrying on the researches of great
general value to mankind .but not in-
dividually money profitable? The
principle has been recognized in the
geological survey, the fisheries, the
department of agriculture, the fores-
try bureau, etc. And that is great!
But why not apply the same prin-
ciple to human life and health?
There is the white plague. There
are the ever-recurring tragedies of
deadly gases in the mines. And there
are our gory railway rails!—Now York
