guessed at or listened to what had
passed between her and Captain Meri-

She says that you are deceiving

Tho most awful firt, and she can prove
it."
Her first charge may be dismissed
on that score, at any rate" Janetta
said. little bitterly 1.-The man I
sent away just now-who, it is true,
had had more than enough to drink
was my only brother"
Janetta's head dropped with shame
q she made the confession.
"Oh, you poor darling!" cried Clar-
Ice. trying to possess herself of one of
1anetta's hands; but the girl held them
tolded In front Of her.
MOT yet" she said sadly-"not until
you know everything Go on"
She said that you are deliberately
setting your cap at Doctor Drake; that
you made an appointment to meet him
the day Harry left"
TITS 1ie!" said Janetta desperately.
I met Doctor Drake that day by pure
chance and stopped to ask him If he
could advise any method OF treatment
that would hasten your recovery. ANY,
thing else?"

&C.," Clarice said, leaning back on her
J pillows. II don't think will even hint
at her last charge; it is altogether too
impossible"
II must hear it," said Janetta hoarse-
".
she said you tried to make Harry
false to me. Oh; dear. it's too shame
full and wicked even to mention such
an accusation to one so true as you
xre."
There was long pause; then Janet
Ia lifted her head and looked full into
Clarlce's eyes.
IN all my intercourse with Captain
Merlvale I never said one word to him
that would have been ashamed for
you to hear"
Cldrice gave little sigh Of relief

NE, tell me straight out that you did

Only to please me, not because I doubt

A shiver shook Janetta from head to
foot. She tried to speak, but though
ner lips moved no sound passed them;
chen she threw herself sobbing ct Clar-
.ce's feet.

words came fltfully between her sobs.
She could hear Clarice's breath COM

And he?" she asked at last. HAS

Radio Active Substances.

Different solid bodies-copper plati-
Nun. lead. glass. wax. paper. etc.-be-
come radio active when they are placed
in "A closed vessel along with one of the
rsidio active salts of barium or. still
better. immersed in a luton of such
a salt. The induced radiation is of the
same char; cter as that of the original
salt-its rays are deviated in the mag
netic field. If a tube containing a gas
under low pressure has current of
electricity passed through it. the gas
becomes luminous when the pressure is
low enough. as is well known. Air at
33 millimeters pressure becomes lu-
niinous when so treated. for example.
When a radio active substance is held
near to such tube. the luminosity be-
gins at higher pressure. which for
air is A nillimeters- The color Of the
light varies in the two cases.

Our attention has been called to
the fact that the men at work on the

every Saturday night in a oack room
of Kennepohl's saloon. We learn
from the superintendent of the work
that this is so. aud that he alone is

1t is related of the late DIR. Robert
son that on one occasion he was in
the company of some theological stu
dents. They. fresh from the study of
church history. were laughing together
over the old scholastic question. How
many angels are supported on the
point of a needle2 They were surpris-
ed when DIR. Robertson turned to them
and said. We'll. how many do you
think AS no one answered he went
on, with decision. We'll. I'll tell you
five" And he justified his answer with
the following story:
One very stormy night he was COM
ing home late and noticed light in the
window of a room where he knew q
poor woman lived whose husband was
at sea. He wondered what kept her UP
so late and went to see. He found her
hard at work sewing by her lamp.
while her five rosy children were sound
asleep beside her. There" said DIR.
Robertson, was a needle supporting
five angels"

On ore OF the news slips that are left
Internationally during the day AT almost
all of the offices of bankers aud broker;
In New York there appeared the other
afternoon a paragraph substantially a.
follows. writes Holland. the regular
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. under the date of Jan. 2::s: 1T is
the understanding that one New York
banking house earned during the year
1901 profits aggregating S1I.ooo.ooo ex
elusive of the profit that may come TO

writing syndicate"
This little paragraph is an echo of n
report which is quite generally believed
to be accurate and which has been i'll
circulation in the Wall street district
for some ten days or two weeks. The
only difference between the imprinted
rumor and the brief news paragraph
circulated the other day is that the re-
port that circulated from mouth TO
mouth was more definite as to figures
and as to the identity of the banking
house which compassed this unparal-
leled achievement.
The earlier raport put the figure rep
resenting the profits at ST. 100000 and
mentioned the name of the banking
house which had experienced this I'M
LII. fA.t.r fFfraf tod
slip did no more than to hint at the
partnership name of this banking com
pany. Yet every one associated the re-
port with the pre-eminently active and
organizing banking institution in New
York city. whose chief and Junior part
ners have had conspicuous part in vari-
Gus organizations and reorga niZations
in the past ten or twelve years
The exclusion of the earnings of the
United States Steel Underwriting syn
dictate from this estimate is probably
due to the fact that. while this syndi-
cate has been practically liquidated.
the po i disbanded and probably a lar
ger part if not all of the profits have
been received. nevertheless the syndi-
cate has not been formally disbanGed
and its affairs permanently closed.
OF course the report has been the
main subject of discussion and of com
parison with other great achievements
in the way of rich earnings all through
the financial district. 1t is said that
these figures represent reasonable in
come upon capitalization of S30o.0oo,-

this point of view. this banking institu-
ton stands relatively second to the
United States Steel corporation itself.
at least so far as capitalization is con-
cerned. if the partnership We're to be
capitalized upon the basis of 6 per cent

The report asserts that Of these co
lossal earnings the senior partner re-
ceived 40 per cent. one of his associates

ates or junior partners S3.OOO.OOO is TO
