Soap Bubbles.

M. Izarn has communicated to the
Academy of Sciences new method for
obtaining soap bubbles lasting a much
longer time than those obtained from
the soap water generally used. He has
recourse to resinous soap made by the
following formula: Pulverize together
10 grams Of pure rosin and 10 parts
of carbonate of potash; add 100 parts Of
water and boil until complete solution.
We obtain in this way thick solution
which may be kept in stock to be diluted
for use with from four to five times its
volume Of water. It can be kept indefi-
nitely even when exposed to the air. The
bubbles produced are very persistent and
consequently can be made useful in the
study of phenomena relating to thin
lamine and in making photographs in
which soap bubbles play part.

Book Bound In Gold and Silver.

The only gold and silver bound, dia-
mond incrusted book in the world was
lately enshrined in the holy Mohamme-
dan city of Isnan-Ruza. Persia. The
book is of course a copy Of the Alkoran
and is a gift from Abd-ur- Rahman,
ameer Of Afghanistan. The covers of this
unique volume, the sides of which are
81 by inches, are of solid gold plates
one-eighth of an inch in thickness, lined
with silver sheets of the same thickness.
The centerpiece, as well as the cor
ners, is a symbolic design wrought in
diamonds, rubies and pearls. The center
figure is a crescent with star between
it's points, the whole design being COM
posed Of 100 small diamonds, l67 pearls
and 1872 rubies. The diamonds on each
corner, which are almost hidden in their
golden setting, and the orange colored
lacquer with which they are fastened,
are each worth about $4,000. The book
itself is on parchment, entirely written
by hand. It is valued at $125, 900. There
are said to have been over 100, 900 visit
ors present in Isnan-Ruza the day the
holy relic was enshrined. st. Louis

Mrs. Elizabeth e. Hutter.

Mrs. Elizabeth E. Hutter, who recent
~ died in Philadelphia, was widely
known as the pioneer in many philan-
thropic movements in Pennsylvania.
She was the widow Of the Rev. DR.. E.
W. Hutter, once editor Of the Lancaster
Intelligencer and afterward private sec
rotary of President Buchanan and as
sistant secretary Of state. During the
war Mrs. Hutter frequently went to the
front, rendering valuable service to the
wounded and suffering. She took con-
spicuous part in the great sanitary fair
held in Philadelphia in 1861, acting as
president of the committee of labor, in
come and revenue. She is credited with
having raised $3.50, 900 for the fair. She
was the first woman to cross the line
after the desperate three days. battle Of
Gettysburg. She went in a car provided
by President Scott Of the Pennsylvania
railroad and by special permission of
President Lincoln. New York Tribune.

CONSERVATIVE.
Ele First Use of the Word as an English
Political Term.


Canning, and not Croker, was the
first to use in English politics the word
conservative in its present sense, and
too long has Thackeray's Mr. Wen
ham" (Disraeli's "Mr. Rigby') had the
credit which belongs to far more bril-
liant man. The general assumption has
been that the term was earliest employ
ed in The Quarterly Review for January,
1880 ono. 83, page 276), in an article
which has been commonly said, but upon
no specified authority, to have been
written by Croker, but its true first use
was five years and a half previously.
On June 8, 1924, dinner was given
to George HILBERT, the chairman of the
West India Merchants of London, by the
members of that body, and several Of the
leading ministers then serving under
Lord Liverpool, the Tory premier, were
present. In the course Of the proceed
ings, says contemporary account, "an
observation which fell from Mr.. Can
ming was that the spirit of the present
government, as that of all governments
ought to be, was essentially conserva-
tive.
This appeared in John Bull Of June
1884 (page 1881 and the apt word was
so obviously remarked that it was itali-
cized. Years passed, and Canning had
died before the word is again to be met
in English poktics, but on March a,
1929, Charles Greville noted in his dia-
ry that ''Herries told Hyde Villiers that
their (the Tories policy was conserva-
tive, that Of the Wings subversive. and
that they never could act together. -
"The Greville Memoirs, volume l, part
4, page 1872.
The word, employed by both Canning
and Herries, was thus sin the air" be-
fore it was given in The Quarterly, and
this accords with a statement made in
the course Of correspondence on the
"Etymology Of the Word Conservative"
which appeared in The Standard at the
end of October, 1882, wherein it was
said to have been first used in 1929,
during the closing controversies upon
Roman Catholic emancipation. Notes

to KNOCK against star the intense heat
and fierce fire generated by the enor-
nous velocity and vast momentum Of
the two masses would be such as to pass
human conception.
1t may be that the sun was formed by
the collision Of two stars. The effect Of
two such bodies attracting each other
and meeting would be to reduce them
to violently agitated gaseous mass,
which would oscillate, first inward, pro-
ducing uncomfortable heat, and then out
ward again, ultimately assuming the
| condition Of the sun The general re-
suit would be that the two bodies would
| revolve around their common center of
gravity-that is to say, around each 9TH
er-creating a double star. Lord Kel-
win has calculated that if 100000
solid globes, each of the mass Of the
moon, should be scattered over spher-
lcal surface 100 times the radius of the
earth's orbit, they would come together
and be raised to temperature Of
| 1907 degrees. They would oscillate
outward and inward, reaching to less
distance each time, and ultimately set
thing down into a sphere
The nebulB we see around us may,
Professor Ledger suggests, have been
produced by the knocking together of
two great bodies rather than by the ag-
gregation of many smaller ones. The
collision of two huge suns would thus
lead to rejuvenescence and the formation
of new systems. Phenomena indicating
that something very much in the nature
of a collision had occurred are the out
| bursts OF temporary stars such as those
observed by Tycho Brahe in 1879, by
Kepler in 1904 and those of l848, 1865,
1876, 1885 and 1899, the last being the
new star Auriga, which declined through
ten magnitudes, or became 100, 900
times less bright in two months The
great increase in the light Of a comet as
it approaches the sun may be due to a
tidal disturbance in the bodies forming
it, causing them to knock against each
other, and thus generate heat and light.
In the same way the twinkling of the
stars may be caused by the knocks of
the molecules of the atmosphere on the
ether, whose undulations carry their
light to us. The excessively great and
the exceedingly small are all interde-
pendent, and the past, present and prob
able future of nebulous bodies all hinge
ON the relations they bear to the knocks
of the molecules of their gases, while
the knocks of immense bodies depend
ultimately on the knocks of their constit-
uent atoms.

INCAPABLE OF IMPERSONALlTY.
An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
Woman's Emancipation.

WOmanS Emancipation.
The bond of fellowship which exists
between man and man simply by virtue
of a common sex is entirely absent be-
tween woman and woman. 1t is, in
fact, replaced by a fundamental antago-
nism, a vague enmity which renders
the general attitude of feminine crea-
ture toward her kind essentially differ
ent from that of the male creature in
identical relations. In individual cases
this feeling is counteracted' by affection
or by sympathy, but apart from person
al sentiment it remains, severing every
living woman from the rest of her sex.
To great extent this arises from wom-
an S incapacity for impersonal feeling or
abstract emotion. In LIES fray she
fights either for her own hand or, more
often, for some one man or woman
whom she loves, but rarely for the vel
fare of her sex at large
Were it not for this strange lack of hui
mainly in her nature, the emancipation
of woman would not have been SO griev-
ously retarded. If the few women who
suffered aforetime under the restrictions
which hedged in their liberty had been
able to count on the sympathy and CO.
operation Of all women, the time Of
their subjugation would have been enor-
mously abbreviated. AS it was, the first
seekers after freedom met with more
opposition from their own sex than they
did from the other; nor, indeed, do they
fare better today. Enormous changes
in their social status were effected by
an inconsiderable minority of women
brave enough and logical enough to i'm
press the male powers that be with the
justice Of their demands. But for their
courage they received no sympathy and
for their success not one word Of thanks
nothing, in fact, but execration from
the huge inert feminine mass in whose
service their strength was spent. Sat
