ducTion OF Light without heat-we may
as confidently say is only a question of
properly handling the electric current.
Nature presents us with beautiful
examples of both solutions, but guards
jealousy the key to her method of OPP
Grafton, by which we'll known forces
are made TO do the apparently i'm
possible thing. and it is equally be
yond our science to-day to explain how
the bird scars a2oft on mouonleSS
wings and how the glow worm emits
gleam Of light without a ray of heat.
But they do it, and the many imitators
Of the bird will soon be equaled in
number by those who are chasing the
frefys secret.
What nature does with natures
forces man should and doubtless will
be able to do with a full knowledge
Of those forces and a better compre-
henSion OF the methods by which
nature applies them. Who shall say
which is the more difficult accomplish
ment, the production of an artificial
ruby or the production of an artificial
light without heat? There is no GER
ua1nTy, indeed, that the latter viii
not come from the hand of the chem
| ist first. We are only too prone to
| hastily write that down as the i'm
possible which is simply not yet done
and our last achievement as the most
difficult of all our accomplishments j..
Let us not, however, forget that the
| chemist has striven for more than a
| century to make the artificial stone
with commendable success, and the
mechanic has striven a century to ma
vigate the air, while the electrical
engineer has wrestled but a compar-
itively short time with the problem of
light without heat, and has already
shown that the solution. far from be-
ing impossible on the lines of his at
tack, is, indeed, a reasonable eXpecta-
ton of another decade Of electrical
advance

HOW TO ESCAPE CONTRACTION.
Strength of Disease Lies in it's Powel
to Attack One Unawares.

The sad case OF DR.. Stebbins, Of the
Boston city hospital, who died recently
from diptheria, contracted while pur-
S1ling his professional duties as admit
ting physician to the hospital, may
have brought to the minds Of many the
often repeated inquiry as to the man
ner in which immunity from contagiOn
is secured by doctors, nurses and
others, whose business brings them so
often in direct contact with infectious
diseases, says the Youths Companion.
The answer must be somewhat gen
eral, as we'll as a repetition of what
has many times been given, but it is
not the less worth needing on that ac-
count.
The two greatest safeguards against
infection are a strong vitality and care
fully selecting hygenic surroundings.
The perfected human organism, con-
st2ntIy and properly nourished, and
with plenty Of fresh air, is almost in
vincible against the invasion of disease.
It is simply q question of the survival
Of the superior. Disease, which is the
weaker, is put to rout by good health
just as darkness yanishes at the ap-
proach Of light.
The strength of disease lies in taking
its victim off his guard. In fact, it's
attacks are mostly made in ambush, as
it We're, insidiously and against the
weakest spot in the armor of it's vic
TN.
Let a person, in no matter how good
health, contract a slight cold or get
overfatgued, and Immediately his
very strength becomes source Of
weakness. The stronger and more viz
ulent types Of disease find a vantage
ground, and fight begins which lasts
the longer, and is the harder, as the
opposing forces are more equally
matched in strength.
1t is easy to see that even a physi-
clan OvertaXed with work and suffer
ing somewhat from a consequent neg
lect OF hygienic laws may finally sue
cumb to the disease amid which he
fingers.

GUILTY OF MURDER.

Walber favorably considers the motlon

POLICE TAKE 4 HAND
OFFICIAL. PROTECTION NEEDED
AT A LONDON FUNERAL.
Anarchists Try to Make Political
Capital Out of a Brothers Burial
But Get Badly Fooled.

London, Feb. 23.-This was the day
fixed for the funeral of Bourdina, the
anarchist who was fatally injured by
the explosion OF his own bomb, Feb. Is.
A riotouS demonstration was an
ticipated and the police made prepare
tons to prevent it.
The shops in the neighbOrho0d of
the undertaker's establishment in
Chapel street, where the remains lay,
were shut aud balricaded. Crowds Of
excited spectators, including many
anarchists, gathered in the neighbOr-
hood in the early morning hours, and
were watched by q strong force Of Pc
lice and detectives.
When the anarchists attempted to re-
move the body to one of their meeting
places, where their leaders were to de-
liver orations over the remains, the p0-
lice forbade and directed that the body
be conveye ed to the cemetery by an
other route than that intended.
The police allowed only one coach to
follow the hearse and it was sur
, rounded by a body Of mounted police.
The anarchists who wished to follow
the body We're compelled to go to the
cemetery by a different route from
that taken by the hearse or follow
very far behind. Before starting the
anarchists displayed red flag.
The police made a charge and
captured it after a brief struggle; and
enc shown shortly afterward met the
same fate. The police had large re-
serves close at hand in case of need.
The anarchists laughed at the precau-
tons against bomb throwing, saying
they were not fools enough to blow
themselves out of the only country
where anarchists could live in peace.
Among the crowd could be heard
strong expressions of condemnation Of
anarchists Others pronounced them
selves in favor of hanging all anar-
chists to the nearest lamp post and
one man who shouted "Vive rAnarchie"
as the hearSe was moving away was
so roughly handled that he was a mass
of rags and bruises before he sue
ceeded in escaping.
Mourning DdtS6S ana Geu ueChIlSS
could be seen, but in the main the
crowds We're composed of people only
anxious not to miss seeing the antici~
pated cOmmotion between the police
and friends of the dead anarchist.
Eventually the police mustered in such
strong force that the crowds were
brought to a stand still and finally the
hearse proceeded on its way without
any following, the sensation seekers
being slowly but firmly driven back
and almost dispersed.
Owing to the display of the police
force, only about 500 persons We're
present at the ceremony when the body
reached the grave. AS the remains
were being lowered into the earth an
anarchist leader named Quinn made
an attempt to address the crowd. He
was hoisted upon the shoulders of some
friends and had begun with:
Men and brothers: the remains OF
a martyr have just" This was all
of the grafton heard, for Quinn and his
friends were roughly charged upon by
the police and the orator was seized
and removed from the cemetery by
two policemen. With the exception OF
this incident the proceedings at the
cemetery were without startling in
cidentS.

LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT.
This is Found in Nature, But the Sec
cret is Undiscovered.

To the speculative mind none Of
the possible future applications of cleo
tricity is more attractive and none
SO full Of immediate interest, as the
possibility that seems almost within
our grasp of obtaining light without
the heat waves that have thus far
always been at the same time the
companion and the burden OF all arti-
fetal light. The time is ripe. and the
exact science of the day seems ali but
ready and willing to give the analy-
sis of two great problems, the answer
to either of which would stand the
browning achievement Of a century OF
progress in the application of natures
secrets to the requirements of daily
life. One of these-the navigation OF
the air-seemS to be a mechanical
problem only, while the other-the pro

THE REAL AND UNREAL.
Harper'S Weekly.

We watch the ships sail forth and sink
Where sea and sky shut out the track.
And with a whispered prayer, we think
That some bright day will they come
back.
We note the days as swift they fly,
And when one day of love has fed
We breathe a last. 4 fond good-by,
And count it numbered with the dead
Yet sometimes ships come not again,
And no return the great sea gives,
While like the sunshine after rain
In dreams that day of beauty lives.

IN recent interview, Robt. G. In
gersoll said of immortality. Il have
never said that perhaps before l die
l will say in public that 1 believe in
Immortality l have nothing to con-
ceal on that question. 1 have always
been perfectly frank and have given
the transcript of my heart and brain.
T do not say that death ends all,
neither do / say that man is immortal:
say that I do not know To know is
one thing, to believe is another, and
to hope is still another. 1 hope for all
good, for al joy, for the children of
men. All 1 can say about immortality
is this: There was time when l was

it may be that it is no more wonderful
that l shall continue forever now that
