What silver is really worth in gold
may be settled in startling way. Many
scientific men incline to the theory that
all the different material substances are
in their ultimate particles one and the
same, and that at the foundation of them
all is universal substance. The differ
ence comes from the various arrange
ments Of the ultimate particles. This
being the case, if it were possible to
discover what the arrangement of these
ultimate particles is in metals and
other things it would be possible to
change one substance into another. DR..
Emmens, a metallurgist, has created a
sensation by declaring that he has found
the secret of changing silver into gold
by working on the ultimate particles.
The gold he made from silver stands
every test and is perfect, he declares.
And it takes six ounces Of silver to
make four of gold If Dr. Emmens will
quickly get a patent on his process and
give the use OF it to the public, he will
greatly relieve distressed world.

The best incidental use to which the
bicycle idea has been applied is Perhaps
that Of the pedal hospital ambulance. At
one stroke horses, harness and hostler are
thus dispensed with. Two bicycles are
rugged with small ambulance between
them, perfect in all it's appliances. When
a call is received, the hospital surgeon
mounts the wheel on one side, his as
sistant that on the other, and they pedal
with all speed to the spot where they.
are wanted. Then the patient is put into
the box, and they all ride noiselessly and
without any jolting back to the hospital.

College Greek and Latin.

The Norwegian parliament has taken
a radical step, all out of it's own head,
so to speak. It has by vote abolished the
study Of Greek and Latin in the high
schools Of Norway. Norwegians are
proved by statistics to be the most intel
ligent people, so far as common school
education goes, in the world. Their par
lament may therefore be supposed to
have sound reason for doing away with
the study of the dead languages and
substituting French, English and Ger
man in their place.
Norway has done what in the course
of time all ordinary colleges and schools
will do. There is really no reason why
the average business man should be able
to read Homer and Virgil in the origi-
nal Greek and Latin any more than that
he should be able to read the Bible in
the original Hebrew. Living languages
will be Of practical service in his every
day task Of earning his bread. Greek
and Latin will not.
For those who have time to acquire
it knowledge of the Greek and Latin
grammars sufficient to enable one to
find the derivation of words and to
translate sentences with the aid of
dictionary is all that is needed by even
the we'll educated man in our time. The
modern languages and natural and me-
chanica1 Scianca ara what tho e+uIarH

American Apples For England

The cost OF shipping American apples
from our eastern ports to England is
about 81 barrel. The apple crop is
short in Europe 1t is immense III the
United States. There is a prospect that
hundreds of thousands Of barrels of our
apples can be marketed at good prices
in Europe this fall and winter if they
are properly packed and labeled for lust
what they are. Formerly the English
market for our Newtown pippins was a
famous one. But some pernicious Amer
lean scoundrels labeled inferior varieties
with the name Of the favorite and en-
deavored to palm them off on the Brit
ish for the genuine. Result Eng iish
dealers will not touch apples labeled
Newtown pippins. just so American
knaves and scoundrels ruined the mar
ket for United States cheese in Great
Britain.
The apples our British cousins most
like are big red ones. a member of the
staff Of The Rural New Yorker finds
that the Olden burgh, the Baldwin, the
Northern Spy, the Tompkins County
Kings and the Spitzenberg, in the order
named. are the varieties that go.off the
best. The barrels should be evenly
packed, apple by apple, stem end up,
and the name Of the grower and of the
apple stenciled on the head. The fruit
should be packed before it is quite ripe.
But if any villain undertakes to put
small, rotten or knotty apples in the.
middle Of the barrels, shoot him on the
spot!

YAN IN NEW YORK.

The man and the hour seem
to have met at the Madison
Square garden in New York
last Wednesday night. Twenty
thousand people formed the i'm
mediate audience. Forty thous-
and more were outside clamor
ing for admittance. The char
acter of Bryan's audience was
significant. Not many great in
professional or business life
were in evidence, but the COM
mon people were there. Labor
with it's horny hands was pres.
ent. The common people heard
him gladly.
The speech was no mere
pyrotechnic display. 1t dealt

by the most extreme gold
men that the subject of free sill
yer never bad ADLER handling
than it received at Bryan's
hands. He absolutely exhaust
ed the subject. He put the
gold men on the defensive.
There will be a vast amount OF
talk and ink wasted over
Bryan's speech. He struck the
key note. and there is a re-
Spouse IN millions of honest
hearts to his utterances. The
gauge of battle has been thrown
down. Let the Canton major
take it up.
From now on, the campaign
will wax warmer and warmer,
and there is not a remote corn
er of the land where the contest
will not be felt.

Easy WORK.

It is the easiest thing in the
world for a Jim Crow editor to
write editorials. All be has to
do is to pitch into somebody.
A fruitful opportunity for that
sort Of literature is presented
this year. Every little whipper
snapper who is able to shove
a pencil across a piece of paper,
provided he can differ from the
democratic candidate for the
presidency, wades into the fray
in the Don Quixote style: 1t is
unfortunately true also that
some badly balanced newspa-
pers, which claim to be demo
cratic, are not above reproaoh
in this particular. For instance,
THE HERALD received today a
marked copy of a newspapers

demanding that Hon. Rudolph
Kleberg withdraw as a candi
date for congress and give place
to a pronounced free silver man.
Kleberg has done all that an
honest democrat can do. He
has accepted the verdict of the
majority at Chicago and pro-
poses to carry out, so far as he
is able, the expressed will Of
that majority as thousands of
other sound money democrats
will do. Isn't it enough that
sound money men should yield
to what they considered party
duty, without having to suffer
the insults of the professional
mud-sliugera There is not much
danger OF KIeberg's yielding to
the whim of the pencil pusher
who demands his withdrawal.

BELTON GOLD

Bolton, Tex, August 49,
The gold mine excitement is

an expert here. He remained
about a week collecting ore,
which he took with him to as
say. He stated that the indi-
cations were that there was
both gold and silver here. His
assays are awaited with much
interest.

$r4o per acre for a tract. On
Mr.. Boles' land is an old Mex
lean mine and smelter. There
are a number of old Mexican
mines and smelters in that part
of the county.
The fact that Cripple Creek
capitalists would send an ex-
pert here based on two small
quantities of ore sent there,
gives mucn COINCIDENCE in the
matter.

Mrs. Root will not patrol a

desired the appointment to aid

Galveston, Tex, August II.
AS announced some time
ago, Col. George w. Brack-

donated a large sum of money
for the purpose Of erecting an
adjunct to the medical depart
ment Of the State University
in this city. Col. Breckenridge
has had it in mind for some
time to provide for the COM
fort of the women attending
the medical school, and two
months ago it was rumored
that he would make the dona-
ton mentioned. The fund
was deposited in Ball, Hut
chings & Co.'S bank, in the
name of local women, to whom
the arrangements of the build
ing are left. The first story
of the building is to be used
by both male and female stud
ents of the medical school as a
hall, the same to be self-sup-
porting. The second and
third floors are to be devoted
to dormitories for the female
medical students.
