Mahatnas and Microbes.

The fool lives in society only by the
Sufferance of the sane, the weak by the
altruism of the strong writes Presi-
dent Jordan in Appleton's Popular Sci
ence Monthly" That is strong which
endures. Might does not make right,
but that which is right win justify it
self by becoming might What We call
social virtues are the elements Of race
stability.
In the ordinary affairs of life it may
be as safe to believe in mahatmas and
magic, cobolds and norns, as to have
the vague notions of microbes and
molecules, atoms and protoplasm,
which form part Of the mental equip
ment of the average modern man. But
the difference appears when the knowl-
edge is to be turned into action. Mi
crobes and molecules become more real
the more nearly one comes to deal with
them. If one learns to use them they
become as real as rocks or dollars and
as capable of influencing human well
fare. But those conceptions which are
Pigments of ignorance and insanity be-
come less real as we try to deal with
them, and the action based on them is
not safe or effective.

The Many Bibles.

1t is estimated that at the beginning
of the present century not more than
five or six million copies of the Script
ureS We're in existence in the whole
world. l have seen no estimate as to
the number of copies probably in exist
ence at the present time; but in one
year, 1888, alone, the statistics
for which happen to be at hand, the
number of copies issued considerably
| exceeded the 100000 which We're pcs
sibly in existence in the whole world
in 1860 In the decade preceding this
year, 1S7S-1SSS, the number published
in various languages is given as having
been about 81, 600 000-some six times
the whole number in existence when the
century began.
1t is certain that the number of cop
les now existing must be numbered by
the hundred millions. From the rooms
of the British and Foreign Bible Soci-
ETY. in London alone are sent forth
daily from 5000 to 1890 copies, to
which must be added the copies issued
from all their subordinate depots IN
various lands, and the issues of the
American Bible Society, and of sew
eral other lesser bodies; so that the
recent statement is quite credible which
put the whole number of copies OF the
Scriptures issued since the century be-
gan as over 404, 000 000.-Church at
Home and Abroad.

w hats the matter with you?" asked
the head of the firm when he came in
and found the Junior partner pacing
the floor like a. Gagged lion.
Understand this is strictly between
ourselves came the answer in an
irritated voice. There are some things
that a man wants to endure without
any assistance or sympathy from 9TH
ers. 1 was sitting here an hour ago
looking through the mail. A well
dressed man with pleasing manners
came in and asked for you, stating that
there was an important matter of bust
ness about which he must talk with
you personally. We had a pleasant
little chat. when he looked at his watch,
said he seemed to have conflicting en-
gagements, and asked if he might use
the telephone. OF course I consented
and showed him through the next room
into the booth
In about ten minutes he came out
smiling, thanked me cordially and said
be would be back in half an hour to
transact his business with you. He
wasn't more than out of the building
when the telephone jingled and the
main office inquired whom that mes
sage to St. Louis should be charged to.
What MESSAGE yelled excitedly.
Why, the one that just went over
the long distance. of course
My knees quaked and my voice
quavered as I asked how much it was:
Just SO So came the maddening
reply.
Charge it to me. I shouted, and
then chased wildly around the block
looking for the fellow. That was an
other fool trick To think of a man
of my age and experience being such
an unmitigated and internal chump Til

almost better to see the Prince drive

The Englishman loves sports and
games, and in the great body of the
people the Prince seems a more engag-

Derby Day. They cheer him ON the
Downs and on Newmarket Heath. They
back his horse, not a few of them be-
cause it is his. They like to see his
name high among the winners of the
year, as it is now, after a long course
of i'll luck on the turf They like to
think Of him as the country gentleman
at Sandring ham, busy with the man
agem ent of his estate, receiving guests,
taking the lead in shooting, and other
amusements. They like to see him on
horseback in Hyde Park, where he
rides often. They like to see him at
theaters, where they always recognize
and often cheer him. In short they
like to think Of him as one Of them

Making Rubies,

They make rubies by the tons in
France nowadays. This is the latest
effort of French genius. It was brought
about by means of bauxite, a French
material, and the discoVerery has set
all the savants of Europe to talking.
For long time in certain industries
heated bauxite has been used to make
very hard substances for the fabrica-
ton of artificial millstones, to be util-
lied in manufactures of various sorts
The object of manufacture was to pro-
duce substance to take the place
of what is known as the emery of
Naxos, manufactured by the Greek
Government, and about which more
braggadocio has been INDUCED in than
about anything else. Naxos emery did
not come up to expectations, but so
great was the outcry of the Greek
manufacturers when this was suggest
their minds to find a substance. and in
bauxite they discovered it.
For a time no one thought of baux-
ite as other than useful for the pur-
pose for which it was originally intend
ed, but the idea finally occurred to
some one that instead of calcining the
bauXite it would be a good plan to melt
it. This is exactly what was done. and
in this manner was obtained a product
harder even than bauxite-diamantit
which is nothing less than alumina
melted in the electric furnace.
These We're the steps leading llp to
the grand climax, as it We're, which
was followed by the birth of the first
counterfeit of rare gems the world ever
knew, which even experts cannot de-
tect. A savant bearing the suggestive
name of Gin happened to have his at
tention attracted to the matter at this
time, and the idea occurred to him that
possibly there was an opportunity for
development upon which no one had
seized. He gave the matter very seri-
Gus thought, and finally it came to him
that the first step in the course of de-
velopment was to volatile the aiumina
This action was very easily accom-
plished in the electric furnace, the OPP
GRAFTON giving rise to thick reddish
brown clouds which are SO inconvenient
to those who experiment in matters
scientific. BY combining certain va
pors with those of alumina M Gin OBJ
tanned rubies by the ton. The amaze
ulGIl, even 10 the inventor OF the proc
ess, which this wonderful achievement
caused was promptly followed by ex-
pressions of disbelief, even among his
friends
After the scientist had perfected his
apparatus he set about protecting it.
and thus it is that, while few have
been aware of the existence of the
process, NJ Gin has been quietly max
ing it impossible for any one to reap
the benefit of his brain by limitations.
and has patented his process both in
Europe and the United States.
The effect of this discovery upon the
market for precious stones cannot at
present be definitely estimated. 1t is
a we'll known fact that a first-cIass
ruby is almost as valuable as a dia-
mond, according to present prices. Not
only that, but a fine ruby is really a.
rarity, and the demand, therefore is
so great that they are snapped up by
dealers as rapidly as their discovery
is announced.-New York Herald.

be a lawyer, but the war broke out and
he entered the service, spending
eighteen months in the army. He then
returned to his fathers farm and went
to breaking mules.
Joseph Baldwin induced him to take
