Nor does he dread 1t without reason.
The denial of the suffrage Is not the
only grievance of the uitlander. He
complains of unjust and oppressive
taxation, Of the misuse of the proceeds
in corruption of the civil service. The
Boer has little reason to complain Of
either abuse. The taxes by which the
treasury is filed are not levied upon
him He consumes his own untaxed
products. He has few wants which
force him to contribute to the duties
levied on imports. So long rs 1t is not
his money that Is wasted he cares lit
tie what becomes of 1t.
Monopolies have been imposed upon
everything from mining machinery to
mineral waters, and after enriching
their own Golfers to the bursting point
the shrewd minded Beers have ex-
pended a goodly fraction of the re-
naming revenue to arm and equip
their countrymen with the most mod
ern munitions Of war in anticipation of
coming unrest.
According to the malcontents, 1t has
become habit with the Boer to hold
one hand on the throat OF the uitlander
and the other on his family Bible.

MERGE; they fought in the wars against
the savage native tribes. who. despite
all the courage and fortitude of the
Beers, must finally have triumphed
over them If they had been left single
handed.
And they paid and have paid and are
paying practically all the taxes. 1t is
estimated that 95 per cent of all the
magnificent revenues that flow yearly
into the Golfers of the Boer government
is contributed by uitlanders. The state
which they found nearly bankrupt has
now an accumulated surplus of some
$15,OOO,OO0.
They are not mere birds of passage
fitting through the land, accommodating
wealth and returning to spend it In
their own country. The uitlander, so
far as the laws allow him, has made
his home in the Transvaal. His chill
dren have been born there. The mag
nificent climate and the wealth Of the
soil, neglected by the Boer, give every
guarantee Of the permanent settlement
Of generations.

average charge for freight in the Unit

der. Shut In on all sides by mountain
ranges, the Boer could not be safer II
he had Chinese wall all around his
republic. Each entrance to the Trans
vaal, except from the north, Is through
a mountain pass. and the Beers hold
these passes.
On the other hand, the Beers are
practically surrounded by British ter
ritory. Beyond the mountains wait the
redcoats. Germany Is far away. The
only friends upon whom the Beers can
count are their brothers in the Orange
Free State, just across the Vaal. But
to the southeast, to the west and to the
north extends British Africa. The
Beers only path to the sea is blocked
by Portuguese East Africa, and the
Portuguese are under British influence.
These, then, are the causes, this the
situation. Now we can watch the
making of history.

The Atomic Theory.

Prof. Henry Lehman took for spe-

At the Wagner Institute THE Atomic
Theory" says the Philadelphia Times.
Most scientists, he said. regard all
matter as made up OF minute inde-
structible particles. to which the term
atom" is applied. Any combination
OF atoms is called "molecule." This
view Is very old. being set forth in
some Of the Greek writings more than
two thousand years ago, but 1t has
been elaborated and investigated with
in this century. John Dalton l766-
1S44) was the founder of the modern
phase. Within the last fifty years the
view that the particles of matter, es-
pecially in gases, are in constant, rap
Id motion, has been generally accepted
This, known as the "kinetic theory"
was also foreshadowed in the earliest
speculations. The approximate size of
atoms has been indicated by several
investigators, but Of the shape or ap-
pearance nothing is known. Many
bodies are much changed by being
finely divided.

Taxpayer. squeezed by Austria.

The taxpayers of Galicia have many
grievances against the Austrian gov
ernment, says Michael Henry DIE
wicki in the Chicago Record. The
chief complaint is that the assessors
of taxes will not admit the declaration
of income drawn up by the taxpayer
as what he really gets. but substitute
a sum which they say he ought to get.
This is flagrantly unfair and contrary
to law. and makes the taxpayer liable
to rates for what does not exist. When
challenged as to this arbitrary pro-
ceeding the assessors answered that
they had merely raised the taxes, and
maintained that in order to raise an
action against them the complainant
would require to prove a false state
ment. This deprives the taxpayer of
any legal remedy, except going before
the commission of complaints; but,
as the commission is supposed to deal
with $4,000 appeals within few weeks
it can be readily seen that 1t cannot
possibly go into the details of any
case.

CHAPTER 1N.

It was with conflicting feelings that
MollIe brushed out her sunny hair be-
fore luncheon, staring absently the
while into the glass with perplexed
frown.
They were strange people. these Du-
bois, and she uneasily felt that she
could not fathom them.
HenrPs cynical tone she considered
unfeeling, for Leonard Barlowe had
been his uncle after all; while madame
never showed the least respect for her
dead brother, though any allusion to
him would visibly upset her self-con-
troll. And Mollie shrewdly guessed that
the extravagant affection she heaped on
Kate was but on the surface.
Evidently madame had sent for her
son, and there was she" in the case
did they mean Kate?
Already Mollie had not very high
idea of their probity. and wondered
how much power they had over the
child's fortune
But she did not think of herself at
the moment, except to be glad that she
was no relation of theirs. And then
her thoughts drifted off to Reggie, and
there was n smile on her face as she
flung open the door, nearly running
over Kate. who was advancing conse-
quentially down the corridor, huge
box of distinctly Partisan bonbons in
her arms.
81 shall not give you one because
you would not take me to get moss"
she said, with solemn spitefulness, as
she displayed them.
You should have gone with pleas
ure had you asked nicely" returned
Mollie, unrufled. But will not take
you anywhere when you are unpleas-
ant"
And before the irate mistress Of the
house could find anything bitter
enough for her poor little tongue to
utter, the elder girl had passed her
and, descending the stairs. entered the
dining room, where Madame Dubois
and her son were standing by the fire
There they stood. these aliens and
strangers, giving themselves all the
airs of proprietorship in the house
that ought to have been quite as much
hers as Kate's. Standing, too, right
