How Cold Metals Sometimes Mix,

Professor Roberts-Austen's discov-
cries on the subject of the j~nterdiffusi-
bility of metals is most interesting
reading. The facts have been to some
extent known to savants before the
meeting of the Royal society, at which
more public attention was drawn, but
on that occasion the results were made
more clear. 1t was then shown that
solid metals may be made to mix them
selves as if the atoms were living crea-
lures.
Professor Roberts-Austen has, in fact
discovered pieces of metal engaged in
the very act of mixing themselves up
one with the other. OF course the inter
est of this is that the interdiffusion of
which we speak has been found to take
place when the metals were cold, and,
though this property in metals, to be
capable of attaching themselves one to
the other when cold, has been talked
about before, nothing SO clearly proved
has hitherto been at the service of
metallurgists and chemists as the facts
adduced by Professor Roberts-Austen.
He shows that when clean surfaces of
lead and gold are held together in the
absence of air at a temperature of 40
degrees for four days they unite firmly
and can only be separated by a force
equal to one third of the breaking
strain of the lead The professor has
also proved that if a plate of gold be
laid under one of lead about three
tenths of an inch thick IN three days
gold will have risen and diffused itself
to the top of the other metal in very
appreciable quantity .-ColIiery Guar

There is some fear that through the

There is some fear that through the
Indifference of the people the Constitu-
tional amendments to be voted IN at the
special election to be held or Tuesday,
Sept, 265b, will fail, but with such vital
interests at stake as are involved in these
amendments to the well-being of the
State, such fears ought to be g%roundless.
However, it is well enough to seek to
for there is no doubt but what the i'm
moral and meTcenary elements are or
ganized for determined opposition against
the amendments at the polls. 1t is not a
question of party supremacy, but all
parties ought to concentrate their efforts
in carrying the amendments to the end
that they may forever be rid of any
danger of being involved or embroiled in
the policy or movements of the race track
! fraternity and the consequent demorali-
cation of State politics. The ratification
of the amendments is the final step in the
agitation to wipe out the most corrupt
ing influence that ever dominated the
! State. AMI having gone so far in the
| right direction it will not be safe to turn
back now and leave it possible for the
return to power of these Influences. 1t
NAV be true that there are statute laws
which guard against the evil, but it is
| also true that these laws are subject to
repeal. If the prohibition is placed in
the Constitution it cannot be eliminated
without more deliberate actor. The
proposed amendment is in the right
direction and in the line of decency and
order. Past race track experience and
race track influence in this State has not
been of the kind to make the people
banker for more. They can we'll afford
to indorse and vote for this amendment,
and upon this question party preferences
| should not enter. This question, clinched,
by Constitutional strength, will give the
| State of New Jersey a better name and
will command greater respect from other
| commonwealth.

burly, sinking with a groan to the
ground, and Dillon, blind and helpless,
lying YEARLY on his couch. In later
times Captain Carter of elephant fame
had to flee from the house as from a
house infected, and but a few days ago
his Scotch assistant and two Belgians

A Tribute to Lillian Whiting.

We have no writer in America at
present who deals with the latest
scientific phases of %psyohical questions 50
ably as does Lillian Whiting, the accom-
plished journalist and later the successful
author of 1.-THE World Beautiful" (frst
and seoond series). Miss Whiting is we'll
known by her delightful Letter from
Boston," duplicated by the metropolitan
press, and she has been for many years
conversant with. whatever is finest and
best in the life of Americas most Guilt
waited city. Miss Writings latest book,
after Her DEATH" is written with all
the tender grace and spiritual uplift that
have caused her books on THE World
Beautiful" to be 8 highly appreciated
both in England and America; indeed it
goes a step beyond any of her previous
work in its correlation of the very latest
syllable of science with the most cherished
hopes of the Christian saint. We have
hardly had a revelation of the world
unseen at once so we'll reasoned, so in
accord with common sense, aud at the
same time 80 informed by the rarest
beauty of the most tender love. 1t is
equally removed from superstition and
credulity aud is altogether consistent
with the ''hope set before us in the
gospel" Miss Whiting has long beea a
communicate of Trinity church in
Boston, which will always be best
known as "Phillips Brooks church." and
is still a devoted ~Episcopaliap. She her.
self says that the one great thing that she
wishes to make her work so far as
possible stand for is: The utmost union
of knowledge into existing spiritual laws,
not the %antagonism between Churches"
and ''s%piritualists." These laws nave
always existed, and if we are finding
them out, it is the same as astronomers
finding out a larger knowledge of the
heavenly bodies. 1t must come as
e~volution-not as revolution. The church
is large enough for all spiritual
knowledge.-Unaon Signal.

A minister who kept race horses
and had at his command Il good store of
very blunt yernacular, who could not
be got to admit that he understood an
abstract thought, who always knew
what he wanted and was determined to
carry it out regardless of the opinions
of others, who conceived his own ideas
to be superior to those of other people,
who never looked farther than tomorrow
and much preferred not to think beyond
this evening, but who at the same time
was determined to establish the priVi-
lege of an Englishman to the sidewalk
all over the world, while men of other
nations might step into the gutter
this minister represented aspirations
which had long ago sickened under the
rounded periods intended to convince
humanity that bread and calico summed
up their total requirements and were
more sufficient for rational happiness.

Clean Shirts In Germanx.

The Berlin Boersen-C Courier tells
about a Germans invention of a paper
shirt front which is intended to ap-
peal to the large number of continental
Germans who wear dickies. The shirt
front has a paper collar polish and is in
seven layers. As each layer is torn off
it reveals another white, glistening
front. Thus from one paper dicky the
wearer may evolve a clean paper shirt
front for every day in the week. The
dicky is made to button to any kind of
shirt. 1t costs but 80 pfennig, or about
2 cents; consequently the expense of a
clean front is but a cent a day. In view
Of the prevalence of the dicky habit in
Germany the inventor has taken steps
to manufacture his compound shirt
fronts in large quantities.

Earths' Blacklist Insult to Heaven.
REV. DIR. L. B. WILSON.

ANpOEF
After defending creeds as the bach bone
OF moral org aDizations, when lived up to,
Or. Wilson, who is first Vice president of
the American Anti Saloon League, said:
ut makes a vast difference what a man
believes, and especially on this issue.
which, to my mind, is the greatest of the
century. l believe that the licensed
dram shop is the most glazing evil of our
modern civilization. l believe that the
saloon is mans deadliest foe, and the
blacklist insult earth offers to heaven.
And this saloon is hedged by all the
amenities of the law, and is held up by all
our armies and navies. When you plant
a saloon to day, you will reap your re-
ward in widowhood and orphanee.
Don't write a creed with the idea that
some one else will bring the good thipt
to pass. Be sure you write in your creed
L believe that l must have a hand in th.
reforming of the worlds doings.' Th.
most demoralizing thing l know of in the
world is to have an angel creed and to
live a serpent life. To believe as angels
of God must believe, and live a shilly-
shally life is the disgrace of the universe.
Greed and conduct ought to harmonize
in the human life. The creed is easy, but
look out for the conduct"

THE FUNCTION OF ETHER.
Without 1t There Would Be No Light,
Radiant Heat or Magnetism,

Without 1t There Would Be No Light,
Radiant Heat or Magnetism.
Whatever difficulties we may have
in forming a consistent idea of the con-
s%titution of the ether, there can be no
doubt that the i~nterplanetary and inter-
stellar spaces are not empty, but are oo-
cupied by ii material substance or body
which is certainly the largest and prob
ably the most uniform body of which
we have any knowledge"
Such was the verdict pronounced
some 20 years ago by James Clerk
Maxwell, one of the very greatest of
nineteenth century physicists, regard
ing the existence of an all pervading
plenum in the universe in which every
particle of tangible matter is immersed.
And this verdict may be said to express
the attitude of the entire philosophical
world Of cur day. without exception
the authoritative physicists of our time
accept this plenum as a verify and rea-
son about it with something of the same
confidence they manifest in speaking of
"ponderable" matter or Of energy. 1t is
true there are those among them who
are disposed to deny that this all per-
vading plenum merits the name of mat
ter, but that it is a something, and a
vastly important something at that, all
are agreed. Without it, they allege, we
should know nothing of light, of radiant
heat, of electricity or magnetism. With
it there would probably be no such
thing as gravitation-nay, they even
hint that without this strange some
thing, ether, there would be no such
thing as matter in the universe. If these
contentious Of the modern physicist are
justified, then this intangible ether is
incomparably the most important as
well as the Largest and most uniform
substance or body in the universe. Its
discovery may we'll be looked upon as
the most important feat of our century.
