Whon criticised, it is either perplexed or amused; whon challenged, apologetically boastful, and seemingly delights in misconception and misrepresentation. A striking Instance In-stance of this slngulnr trait is tho way Americans 'abroad oxaggerate thoir native mannerisms and become veritable caricatures of themselvos in good-natured mimicry of tho national nation-al type. In its extreme form tho ten-dency ten-dency might be characterized as living liv-ing upto a libel to save the trouble and expense of legal proceedings. -whether this bo due to a sort of nils-taken nils-taken chivalry or to mere childish Irresponsibility Ir-responsibility Is as hard to determine ns It Is unnecessary either is rep- i rehensible. There is in this dependence depend-ence upon foreign oplniop something H 'of a native shrewdness for judgin3 .Vi others by their opinion of oneself, M but much moro is to bo attributed to p ' an instinctive aversion from the f pangs or introspection and a childish capacity for using other people an mirrors. No other nation, perhaps, has played so sensational a rolo, but no other nation has stood so in need of its audience. The histrionic de- ' nioanor of Americans abroad, at times so very liko tho behavior of actors off tho stage, exacting calcium-light duty - of the sun, is a rea.1 clew to the na- i tloual temperament. If only by the re- j actions of others do wo nchlovo any dofinlto notion of what we ourselves 'tl are, it Is no small wonder that wo j have cultivated tho actor's mannor n and practice his arts, only It Is n strango art for an otherwise Innrtla- j tic nation, a curious dependence for a free people.

The pro- f joct would necessitate the building of ( a harbor at Ostla, near the Tiber's j estuary In 1907-7 Parliament sane- tioped two separate nets dealing with f the proposed work, but, although tho 1 technical details have been completely studied and mnpped, the necessary financial supplies have not as yet J H beon forthcoming, and the delay has . 1 recently encouraged the ventilation of j 1 another scheme advocated by the pro- I vinclal council, quite Independently of the one brought forward by tho v;I municipal board. The project of the ..SI council was prepared by Slgnor Cam- fll inada, who proposes tho building of U a harbor near a small village called i I Palidoro, about 21 miles from Rome, 1 at a cost of about $12,500,000, half of 1 which expenditure would be recoverable recover-able from the State, pursuant to the ' special act in force, by which certain j contributions are due for harbor lm- (' provemonts. In support of the latter j project It is stated that no financfnl I burdens would be thrown upon t'.o i-' Province of Rome, as the rest of tho f capital, which certain French flnan- (J ciers seem disposed to provide, would J he gradually recovered .out of harbor VJ dues as well as from the proceeds ') of traffic double railway line would connect rhf nrnnnsprl hnrhnr with Rome. A subsidiary company would I also be formed with Italian capital for the purchase and sale of the build- i Ing lands adjoining the harbor Which J of tho two projects will ultimately bo ;. adopted Is still to be decided; but It is felt that an outles to the sea Is in- j dispensable, and it is well that the ' provincial and municipal councils r have taken this Important matter In hand In tho Interest of national and Internatloal trade. Boats with sup- ) piles for Rome sometimes anchor at i. Fiumlcino, at the mouth of tho Tiber. in preference to Civitavecchia or oth- j or ports farther off. In 1910, 157 j steamers. 147 sailing vessels, and 135 barges were cleared, representing an M aggregate tonnage of 39.106 tons, 1 m showing an Increase of 1,460 tons j M over the preceding year. The goods ' m carried by these vessols were chiefly W coal, wine, oil, cheese, wood, pozzo- j fj lane, and carbide.

I " ' I "An Interesting test of the value of '. , the electric furnace In making pig I iron Is now in progress in Trollhattan ' if in Sweden.

"This m. test Is carried on under the direction K of experts, who have erected a blast JflBj furnace, the proportions of which rSR were based on tho most careful calcu- jff! lations.
