ROMANCE IN VARIED GU1sE.
r% D.nrttton Of the Word In Susi
ceptible of q Wide Diver
sihcatiOn.

What is romance? Even the COLO
ouial use of the term is varied. When
we say you are romancing or eau
anything as romantic as distinguished
from what is real or what Is true, we
mean one thing, but quite another
when we apply the term romantic 70
natural scenery, says Harpers maya
zine. And in this application we must
distinguish between the effect upon US
of that which we call romantic because
of human associations with certain
sights or sounds and that witness Oh
nature which we call romantic because
of it's absolute dissertation from any
thing human.
Keeping out Of mind for the present
the use of the word in artistic and III
erary criticism, let us try to find wna9
element ACKNOWLEDGMENT there is IN the
diversities of colloquial usage.
In all that is generally called romantic
in the cases above mentioned there IS
the common element Of strangeness.
We easily revert to what must nave
been the original sense OF the word In
its connection with those medieval
notifications of the Latin tongue known
as the romance languages, The Saxon
or Celt would have found his native
tongue sufficient for all ordinary neeos

way, by travel or refinement OF taste
and habit, he would, to meet the newly
developed need, borrow the graces OF tne
Roman speech-that is. he would 70

ASTRONOMY OF ATOMS.
e a Eeyealed By Radium and Csnr
clss1vely Dennonstrates Many
b ~ Strange Things.

The new theory Of matter now being |
developed by Prof. Lodge and Others
may be called the astronomy Of atoms.
According to scientific contributor to
the Chicago American, 1t shows that
what has always heretofore been re-
garded as the smallest division OF mat
ter known to nature-the atom - ID
really composed Of multitude OF Inn"
nitely smaller things named electrons,
which revelye about one another within
the confines Of the atom in paths re-
sembling the orbits OF the earth and the
other planets composing the solar sys-
tam, and that instead OF being packed
closely the revolving electrons In an
atom have proportionately as much
free space about them as exists between
Mars, Jupiter. Saturn, and the other
members OF the solar system.
Thus, the body of man, composed OF
innumerable atoms, may be hkened 10
the universe, in that 1t Is made up OF q
vast number of systems almost Infinite
ly small In comparison with its own de
mansions. Moreover, the manner IN
which the electrons constituting an atom
reyolve about one another resembles
the manner in which the planets. COM
| cts, asteroids and meteors OF the solar
system travel in their concentrlc, and.
In some cases, interlacing orbits, ana
the principles of celestial mechanics
perfected by Newton, Laplace and otn-
er mathematicians to account for the
| motions of the heavenly bodies, AVIAN
| TO explain. also the movements OF the
infinitesimal electrons of which atoms
1 consist.
But these electrons, while they consti-
tute the, atoms OF which all material
Substances are made up. are not them
selves conceived as being form OF mat
ter. Experiment indicates that they
are purely electric In their nature. Yet
when combined In the shape OF atoms,
they furnish the basis OF what we know
as matter.
while only radium and few cognate
substances continually give on partis
. cles in sufficient abundance to reveal the
!, fact to us, yet the theory undei
consideration assumes that all ~
ems of all substances whatever
Rare slowly tending to ;dissipate them
selves in this manner. and that II

ENEMIES of Protection who adj
vocate reciprocity in competitive
products are constantly saying that
our manufacturing industries Ian
guish for lack of free raw materials
and also for lack of larger access to
foreign markets. This can hardly
be true. Why, for the calendar
year 1902 our manufacturers i'm
ported materials from abroad of
the value of $453,ooo,ooo. This
was $42, 900, 900 more than in 1901,
and $2o5,ooo,oo more than our
manufacturers bought of foreign
materials during 1896, a Free
Trade Tariff year when many So
called raw materials were on the
free list which are now dutiable.
We have nearly doubled our i'm
ports of manufacturers material
since then. This would indicate a
tremendous increase in manufac-
turing activity. There must be
some mistake in the contention
that a Protective Tariff stiles in
dustrial enterprise and places our
manufacturers at a disadvantage.

In view of the fact that farm la

In view of the fact that farm la
borers are liable to be just as scarce
in this section this year as last, 1t
might not be an unwise move tor
the farmers of this section to or
ganize some such thing as a Far
mers' League, of which all should
become members, and at the meet
ings of which the subject of labor
and wages could be considered.
Our farmers have to depend largely
upon Piute labor in the harvest
time, and frequently these laborers
go on strike and cause consider
able loss to the ranchers. With a
Farmers League in working order
the matter of wages and labor
could be fixed for the season at the
beginning, and if necessary out
side men could be brought in to
do the work if the Piutes failed to
work for reasonable price. Now
is the time to get action on in this
matter, so as to be organized for
what may transpire later on.
