ATOMIC WEIGHTS.
International Commission Deadlocked on
Selection of standard.


Selection of standard.
The International Commission on
Atomic weights seems to be deadlock
ed on the chief point at issue. namely.
the selection Of a standard for atomic
weights 1t appears that the commits
sion, with the exception OF six Ger
mans and one American professor
MalleD had pronounced unanimously
in favor of o equals 16, and the point
was thought to be settled until it was
found that in the last number Of the
Chemical News the German minority
had reopened the question by calling
upon all teachers of chemistry to take
a positive position regarding the mat
ter in favor of H equals l. The Ger
man contention is summed up in the
following extract: For the teacher
simplicity and clearness of the foun-
dation seem specially important; in
struction must suffer no harm with
regard to the enlightening construc-
ton of the law Of volumes, no shadow
Of doubt must penetrate the doctrine
Of valency. Regard for the under
standing of prospective chemistry will
compel us therefore, under all Cir
cumstances, in teaching an in our
text books, to retain Daltons numbers
and Professor F. w. Clarke, the
worthy editor of the Annual Atomic
Weight tables of the American Chem
ical Society, authorizes us to say that
he recommends the retaining OF the
standard H equals l. For II numbers
We're used in practice which were I'M
suitable to use in teaching. confusion
would be She natural consequence, in
stead of the unanimity desired by all.
In opposition to this the equals 16
party assert that all teachers are not
troubled by using o equals 16 as the
standard. and that a large body OF
chemists who are not teachers favor
it for the reason that with it large
proportion of the more commonly
used atomic weights approximate
very closely to whole numbers.

to train them to be gentle when they
have the cripples to think Of, and they
are eager to help them and to make
things pleasant for them.
If comfortable conveyance could
be provided to take the children to
and from school it would be a boon to
them and great help to the work.
The jolting stage is none too easy for
well folk, and for little ones suffering
from diseases of hip, spine and other
sensitive parts OF the body it often en-
tails extreme pain. Five hundred dol
lars would buy a rubber-tired vehicle
built purposely for ease and comfort
of transportation. and would aid
greatly IN the work being done to lift
these crippled children from a state
Of degradation to condition Of en-

he simply would have more of such

But he was coaXed out of his shell,
and, to his surprise, he met with moth

his size. except once or twice when a
teacher remarked that he was grow

was getting to be. These were the
pleasantest words he had ever heard
and his hard little heart softened I'M

The moral nature of some of the
crippled children seemed to be per-

Most of them think that every one
hates them. They are keenly fearful

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

The last Grand Jury recommended
that Judge Gober appoint competent
person to examine the books of the
Ordinary and Clerk of Court and County
Treasurer, as the grand jures found
that they didn' thave the adequate time
for thorough examination. AS new
officers are to succeed the present ones
in January, Judge Gober has, in ac-
cordance with this recommendation
appointed Mr.. L. A. Baker, who lives
at Oakhurst in this county, about two
miles from Marietta on the Canton
road. Mr.. Baker has lived in this
county some eight or ten years, and has
farm, orchard and dairy He came
here from Elmira, New York, is a DEM
ocrat and former law partner of David
b. Hill. Mr.. Baker was for several
years in the clerks office in Elmira, and
is an expert accountant and thorough
bookkeeper. He is patron of our city
public schools, and gentleman of in
tegrity and sterling character. Belong
ing to none of the political factions in
this county, the appointment is very
hit and proper one. He will do his duty
conscientieusly and when his investi-
CATION is over the facts will speak for
themselves. The present officers are
gentlemen of honesty and integrity
who have nothing to fear from investi-
cation. 1t is due them, the incoming
officers and the county that state
ment is made, giving all information,
when the books are turned over. These
periodical examinations ought to be
made. They are made in banks and
other business concerns, and it is no
reflection on those who conduct those
institutions, but purely matter of
sound business principles. The appoint
ment made by Judge Gober is good
one.and will give satisfaction.

hence, booted and spurred for the fray.

Just so. Then you will hear the cry
that the Republican party will have to
be 'reorganized." The excesses of the
Republican party during the next four
years in extravaganza, corruption. mil
itarism, colonial policies and trusts will
wreck it and it will go down in defeat.
The Democratic party is the party of
the people and will live as long as the
republic exists.
