The following from the New York
Times is of interest to pharmacists and
the general public and presents condi-
ton of affairs that cries aloud for vigor-
Gus remedial legislation:
Keen pain is felt by the manufacturing
chemists of the United States, and 1t is
a pain which none of their own merchan-
disc can assuage. The cause of their
agony is the peculiar nature of our patent
laws, the result Of which, they as
sert with loud walings, is that American
invalids are forced to pay enormous
prices for certain drugs. People familiar
with the habits Of medicine-makers and
dealers may utter cynical exclamation
or two at just this point, and, therefore,
must we hasten to explain that the woe
of the chemists is personal as well as
altruistic and that it is the emptiness
OF their own pockets about which they
complain. rather than about the empty
ing Of the publics pockets. Under our
laws. anybody. a foreigner as well as a
citizen of this country. can take out here
a patent on new food or a new medi-
cine. And the patent covers both pro-
duct and prOcessi In most other lands
IL covers only the process. and whoever
is able TO produce the desired result in
different way is allowed TO do 1t. Now.

Cash Versus Glory.

An ordinary service to mankind is
usually paid for at current rates in legal
tender. An extraordinary service, not
involving the element of heroism, is re-
warded by both legal tender and more
or less fame. The highest of all services,
rendered at the risk of life is supposed
to receive its full compensation in glory,
unaccompanied by more sordid consid-
erations. If, however, the hero of the
service last mentioned should not be
contented with his need of glory, but
should demand more substantial reward,
he may receive it indeed. hut at large

Unlike the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker, who receive
their quid pro quo without thought
of humiliation, either in their own
minds or yours, the man who saves
your life at the risk of his own is looked
upon as almost if not quite disgracing
himself by accepting your proffered pc
cuniary reward, although he may, in
fact, be i'll far sorer need than any one

The GlOwwOrm's Y Ray.

The glowworm light is said to have
been shown to be due to the emission of
rays similar to Roentgens. Three hun
dred glowworms were caught near
Kioto and placed before Photographic
plates screened from the light by sew
eral thicknesses of black paper, together
with plates of BRASS copper and alumni
ium. A piece of cardboard with hole
in it was placed between the metal and
the Photographic plate, and for two
days the arrangement was kept in a
dark chamber, sheltered from all foreign
lights On developing the plate it
was found to be blackened, except the
part opposite the hole in the cardboard.
The rays Of the glowworm would appear
therefore to penetrate metal and excite
luminosity in cardboard. When there is
nothing between the sensitive plate and
the glowworm, the rays are said to be-
have like ordinary light, but in travers-
ing some metals and cardboard they
seem to acquire properties like that of
X rays, or it may be that the ordinary
glowworm emits X as we'll as ordinary
rays.-Revue Scientitique.

THE COFFEE INDUSTRY.

The ADVERTISER remarks on the COT
fee industry, and the Bulletins rather
savage rejoinder, indicate that the
spectators in coffee lands have been
touched. Whenever any person or pa
per advises caution in new enterprises,
the boomers" instantly yell out pes
sfmism."
We have regarded and do regard the
coffee industry as one OF the most i'm
portant agencies in securing good civ
ilization here. Indeed it seems at
times, as if it was the last ditch of the
AngIo-Saxon on these Islands. We have
believed in the Governments promo
ton Of the industry, as a political
measure, without any limit whatever
as to cost, and in such wise manner
as TO prevent the arrest Of the flourish
ing growth Of Hawaii and the town OF
HiIo.
The deadliest of all the enemies OF
the coffee, or other industries, is the
crank and boomer. The highways Of
America, from Florida to California
are white with the bones of those whit
have persisted with the boom" disease
We have been repeatedly told that tht
majority OF the fruit ranches of Cali
fornia are mortgaged beyond redemp
ton. Their owners have been cruel!
misled by cranks and boomers who ar
honest enough, but have no time 70
bottom facts.
Our coffee industry is too supremel
valuable to be exposed to the ravage
Of the boom" pest, which we motto
has been spreading rapidly.
Regarding the value Of our coffee
we believe in coming down out of tn
clouds, and doing some practical worl
