chipelago will be "syndicated,
trust being formed to establish the
monopoly. This time it is an inter
national trust, composed of cunning
financiers in England and America,
who propose to obtain financial and
commercial control of the islands.
That the syndicate will govern
through its agent, the American gov
eminent, hardly admits of a doubt.
The syndicaters will take the profits,
while the people of the United States
and the Philippines will pay the
freight. The story is inherently
probable and an English newspaper
of high character declares it has the
best authority for it. The American
people are pulling bushel of chest
nuts out of the fire for gang of mo-
nopolists. This is the contamination
of patriotism and nationa' fervor. 1t
accounts for the development" of
the presidents foreign policy, and,
for aught anybody knows, it accounts
for much British enthusiasm for our
new colonial schemes. The Wash
ington government is not the only
one which feels the power of syndi-
cate politicians.

UuIoaded Guns.

"Unloaded guns are the deadlie5s
weapons in Ehe world" remarked Sc
clerk in a Royal street curio shop.
"They are always going off and killing
somebody. Yesterday fellow brought
an old horse pistol into the shop. 1t was
one of the dragon model; loads with
powder and ball, you know, and uses a
percussion cap. The thing was as big
as a small cannon and hadn't been
fired, 1 suppose, since the year l. The
owner assured me it wasn't loaded,
and, as there was no cap on the nipple,
/ handled it a little more carelessly
than otherwise would have done. We
were standing at the back door, and
raised the hammer to see whether the
lock was still in working order.
when l pulled the trigger, there
was an explosion that shook the house
and scared us both half out Of our wits,
while the bullet hit packing case over
there in the corner and knocked it into
smitbereens. How the COMPOUNDED ma
chine happened to go off was "a mystery
until ! closely examined the lock. Then
/ saw that an old cap had evidently
corroded and attached itself to the ham
mer, which was slightly cup shaped at
the end, and when ] cooked the weapon
it simply lifted of the nipple and came
up too. 1t was only one Of the little
tricks of unloaded weapons. They are
mighty good things TO let alone. -

Don't let that backache run on I'M

trouble. Do you know what the good
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are doing here
in this city for backache? Have you
noticed the statements of home peo-
pie that have been published in the
city papers? We don't have to go
out of this city to have people say
that Kid-ne-oids cured them of back
ache, nervousness and sleeplessness.
They are right here and are very
grateful people. though we do give
you the evidence of some outside peo-
pie TO show you how much they, too,
value Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. They
praise Kid-ne-oids all over the land.
Do you suppose that people living
here for 10 or ID Years would tell you
that Morrow's kid-ne-oids are beyond
doubt the best remedy to be found for
kidney complaint if it were not sol?
They have said this, too, after they
have used kidney pills and kidney
cures. There is nothing like Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids: the ingredients are
the best the market can afford. They
are prepared in yellow tablets in the
most scientific manner: they are easy
to take and quick to act. Women at
a critical stage of life will find Kid-ne
oids very valuable in quieting the
nerves and producing sleep. Kid-ne-
oids are not nerve dullers. either: no,
indeed: they simply restore the sys-
TEN to its normal condition and this
condition brings on natural results.
For children with weak kidneys
and who are often scolded and
whipped for things they cannot help,
like Peevishness, bed wetting and lack
of energy, Kid-ne-oids will be found
most valuable.

REV. DIR. THEODORE y. MORRISON,
OF Chicago. bishop-elect of the Episco-
pal diocese of Iowa, and who defeated
Rev. L. f. Green, of Cedar Rapids.
yesterday. is one of the best known
and most loved priests of the church
in Chicago. Today it is p years
since he became rector of the Church
of the Epiphany, and each year of
that time he has come closer to the
hearts Of the members of his congre-
CATION. What his executive abilities
are and how well he is fitted for the
work before him. if he accepts the
cali. can best be seen from his record
in his present parish. When he came
10 ii N 1876 the church was 4 small
one. with building on which was n
heavy debt. BY 1882 the debt had
been cleared away The next year
the present site of the church was
purchased. and in 1855 the new edi-
fee was erected. Now the church
property is worth over $50. 600 and
the debt is Il small affair. which can
easily be provided for. In the affairs
of the diocese DR. Morrison has been
especially prominent. Or. Morrison's
father before him was an Episcopalian
rector in Illinois. The son was born
in 1880 and graduated at the Illinois
college. Jacksonville, in 1870. Three
years later he graduated from the
General Theological seminary, in New
York. His first charge was at Pekin,
H., where he remained three years.
From there he went to Chicago.

The HEAVIEST Thing In the World.

The heaviest thing in the world is tie
metal osmium, the blush white metal
with violet Iuster which Mr.. SmithsOn
Remnant discovered 90 years ago in the
residue from dissolved platinum ores.
This metal has a specific gravity Of az
Az; that of gold being 1926; lead.
I1.367; iron, 7.79, and lithium, the
lightest, only o. 594.
The French chemist, Jolly, determined
that oslnium is likewise the most in
fusibIe of metals. 1t could never be
made to yield TO the oxyhydrogen fame
which makes platinum and iridium
run like water, but Jolly has been sub
jecting osmium to the exclusively high
temperature of the electric arc which
Moissan has of late employed successful
IL in the manufacture Of diamonds.
Under this fierce heat tho rare metal,
ruthenium, which used to- be deemed all
but infusible, readily melts, but osmium
remains refractory, there being apparent
" only the faintesJ traces of fusion. On
this account osmium cannot be prepared
in sufficient quantities to make il very
useful IN the arts, but its alloy with IT
iridium, which defies the acids, is of
some value, nothing better having been
found wberewith to tip gold pens. Be-
ing nonmagnetiC. its employment for
