THE "X" rays are to be used in the
detection of the adulteration of food.
Without entering into the subject fully,
it may be said that butter is the least
transparent of the fats, and margarine
the most transparent; that transpar-
ency In wines decreases with the in
crease in the amount Of sugar, and that
adulteration Of spices with earth,
ochre, ETC., or -four with chalk are
easily recognized.

the Albuquerque Citizen to the cause Of

the support of Bryan and Sewall. The
Citizen says:
Treat gold and silver alike at the mints
of the United States and the parity be-
tween them at the established legal ratio
will always be maintained. That is the
long and short Of the parity question.

Long -winded strangers who have new "isms" +"

humanity which they want to try on the Cen

they have to talk about before they per-
mtted to have the privilege of the floor In fu-

thinking that they are not always entertaining
angels unawares when a strange man or woman
is allowed TO speak. by courtesy, and they find
themselves let in for a long essay on some new

At yesterdays meeting 1t was proposed that
n delegate from the Boston branch OF the United

HexhgOn Labor Club said he objected

The delegates said they were getting tired of
letting strangers run the meetings.
The motion was put and lost, and the visitor
was barred from speaking.

He Thinks II Should Be Tighter" Many
:Mi.tnkes Should he Explnted," He Says.

Prof. Felix Adler lectured before the Socie-
ty for Ethical Culture in Carnegie Music Hall
yesterday on THE Strengthening of the Mar
riage Tie When Enfeebled.'
II undertake to say that marriage Is better
than celibncy," said Prof. Adler. II don't
wish to reflect on the motives of people who
lead a single life. Some of them are too con-
trmptible to consider. For instance, those
who are too lazy to make the change in their
life.
ut Is an excellent thing that many young
women are learning to be self-dependent and
self supporting. 1t is good, whether such a
woman marries or not.
There is new law of marriage recently
advocated by some woman. 1t is to substi.
tute the words. until love and respect shall
cease for until death do us part What
reign OF license would ensue il this plan were
adopted? Love may sink beneath the waves
and rise again and again. helping hand
may often save the love from drowning. But
you must he your own saviors. You cannot
expect some great Galilean to come to your as
sistance and work IA miracle.
Some people object to being bound in an
irrevocable tie. Such are anarchistic. You
anG saS tired of EI seo@d be rss
from the bond because they made n mistake.
There are many things in this life that are
irrevocable; many ties and relationships. Nery;
world can we undo. We must cxpiatc them.
If disappointed. 1t Is beyond our power to
dissolve many bonds of relationship. II
brother cannot withdraw from the tie of
brother. why should the fountain source OF
such ties he destroyed?
II recognize the dissolution of the marriage
tie if necessary. There are certain causes that
make divorce a necessity. Preparation OF
henous crimes is sufficient cause. The feloni.
Gus criminal is an abnormal being. Extreme
pcrvcrsion Of moral nature is II iustitiable
cause. Marriage Is contracted between two
human beings. and not between n human be-
ing and u tiend. The incuraby alienutcd in
mind are as good as dead judicial separation
might be more generally used than at present.
Many people have odd notions Of marriage.
They think it is thing Of pleasure. So it is:
but II is much more"
Prof. Adler said man and woman were not
merely beings susceptible of pleasure. but were
meant to promote the mental and moral de-
velopment OF each other. Marriage should
turn each ones defects into eNcellencies. for
marriage Is compact to look squarely at each
others faults. He said happy marriages were
much more frequent than the melancholy
stories of the divorce courts would lead one to
suppose. The happy people are silent.
Prof. Adler said he would speak about d.
vorce at some future time.
