OUR DAILY PAPERS.
An Institution Upon Which Modern
Life Is Dependent.

An Institution Upon Which Modern
Life Is Dependent.
The INTERPOLATION Of journalism and
home life has undergone a complete
revolution with our modern conditions.
Half century ago journalism was lit
tie more than political pamphleteering,
with a few scraps of general news.
When Horace Greeley began the New
Yorker, when Thurlow Weed was the
great whig editor, when Edwin Cros-
well spoke for the Albany regency,
politics was the altogether dominant
note. A little crime, a small budget OF
foreign news when the fortnightly
steamer arrived, sometimes a letter Of
travel, a Presidents message, a speech
Of Clay or Webster things filed
up the columns.
How vastly different, how allen
bracing the newspapers Of our day!
The great modern paper has become
not only the daily mirror Of the world,
but the complete expression, Of our
business and home life. We are de-
pendent on 1t In almost all relations.
The merchant must have it not merely
for the general news, but for it's accu-
rate reflection Of the currents Of bust
ness. The housewife must have it for
its indispensable report of what enters
50 largely into home life. The edu-
Gator must have 1t for It's daily sugges-
ton and material.
Indeed. whether we acknowledge 1t
or not, the newspaper has become the
controlling influence in determining our
standards of living, education, fashion
and almost everything else. The spirit
and strength with which the best pa
perY have broadened themselves to the
largest requirements Of our modern
life are worthy Of all admiration. They
offer rich sources Of suggestiveness and
culture for all. They have their daily
lessons in history. They not only sat
isfy the boy with their sports, but they
stimulate him with their incentives to
broader knowledge. They not only meet
the demands of the women and the
girls for the fashions, but quicken
their interest in the larger relations
and prizes Of life. The breadth Of In
formation and the range OF inquiry
covered by the best newspapers are
marvellous, and their value as an edu-
cative and holding force Is incalcula-

Those Intelligent Flies.

During a hot summer campaign IN
Illinois, Congressman Cannon sought
temporary rest in a hammock stretched
under the trees In the yard Of a coun-
try hotel. From his window the shade
looked inviting, but on the spot he
found the lawn strewn with tomato
cans, potato Feelings and other debris.
On many Of these more or less unsan-
itary mounds were myriads Of flies.
II had no sooner stretched myself
In the hammock" said Mr.. Cannon,
than these flies attacked me, seem

able, md in no pleasant frame Of mind

WHY "Can Not" Is Popular.

by the prevalence of the latter express
sion that 1 took pains to inquire into
the cause Of it.
81 find that many people have adopt
ed the double term because, having
been brought up in a locality where
the short sound of "a prevailed, they
find it impossible to twist their tongues

off radiations, but which emits them
spontaneously all the time, night and
day. Following the lead of Becquerel,
Nine and M. Curie made an exhaustive
examination of the pitchblende, Which
was radioactive. 1t was a task of
endless separations, of continual divid-
ings, of constant assayings, until at
last nothing was left but the salt that
is now known as radium salt.
The material possibilities of radium
are enorn ous Among many sugges-
lions as to the outcome are: The trans
mutation of metals the making of gold
no less), solving the problem of light
without heat, the perfection of wire
less communication the cure of GER
tain phases of blindness, new sources
of heat, and, since it would now seem
that there is, after all, but one sub
stance in the world (Which appears to
our untutored sense to assume various
forms merely because each form con-
tains a special number of particles TIC
the atom, chemistry may undergo such
q regeneration as will result in the
most unheard-of discoveries.
Already a hypothesis has been work
ed out to the effect that the emanations
from radium and kindred substances
are on a par with the rays which go to
make up the aurora borealis. 1t is, in
fact, thought quite possible that the
aurora is merely cathode or Roentgen
rays on a gigantic scale, and the phe-
nomenon Of Roentgen rays Is analo-
gous to that Of radium rays. Out of
this has come the suggestion that we
may soon be able to predict weather
changes with greater accuracy than
heretofore The bearing of the dis
covery on astronomical speculation also
is important.

IN OLD DAYS OF THE BUSES.
A Philadelphia Mans Collection of
the First Tickets.

A Philadelphia Mans Collection of
the First Tickets.
1t is odd to think Of a common ex-
change ticket having greater COM
mercial value than one trolley fare,
and yet E. III. D. Fraley, of this city,
has q collection of somewhat similar
coupons that he would not sell for very
nearly the cost of an entire line OF
street cars. For they are none other
than genuine tickets for the first line
Of omnibuses ever operated in Phila-
delphia.
When Mary Deschamp inaugurated,
i'll the early '3Os, the first Philadelphia
bus line, she stood supreme i'll a vast
and unlimited field. She was French,
as her name indicates, and when still
young in her business career linked
both her financial and matrimonial for
tunes with an enterprising fellow coun-
tryman, Joseph Glenats. The bust
ness prospered amazingly, and was ex-
tended so frequently that Glenats be-
came universally known as the Ma
poleon Of omnibuses."
The Napoleon and has wife soon had
over 200 buses in operation on most OIL
the principal streets of the city. The
starting point for all the routes was
the old Merchants Exchange. now the
reconstructed Stock Exchange, at
Third, Dock and Walnut streets. All
the business life of Philadelphia CEN
tered at that place, and from there
all the buses started, at half-hour in
teryals, their trips northward on Sec
ond, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
streets. The upper end Of the route
was usually Poplar street, and the
stable was located at Beach and Pop
lar streets.
The Deschamp-G lenats alliance, how
ever, was not always allowed to tread
it's primrose path" unchecked. After
some years Of prosperity formidable
competitor arose in shrewd Jacob Pc
ters. whose new Tenth street line
thrived amazingly. It is said to have
prospered largely on account of the
penurious methods of it's proprietor
It is even asserted that in squarlng
accounts with a certain driver one
evening the employe Incorporated
5 cents belonging to the bus magnate
and was discharged on the spot.-Phil-
