BARKEEPERs' BLUE BOOK.
Chicago's Notable Contribution to

Volume 1, No. 1, of the Chicago Bar

nfacal literature. The eminent special
lists whose names flavor it's pages rep
resent a profession which, in the minds
Of many foreigners, shares with the

Americas most American contribution
to civilized life. In the dark places of
Europe, where the Declaration of indie
pendence means no more than a Baby
lonian cuneiform inscription, and where
Abraham Lincoln approximates to a
solar myth, the American hog and the
American mixed drink are household
words.
The 25o mixed drinks dissected and
explained in the Bartenders' Blue Book
with admiration and with renewed am
bition. That Olympian Greek god
drink, the amaranth cocktail; that
ecclesiastical drink. the bishop: that
ominous and prophetic drink, blue
blazes; that glamorous boulevard drink,
brandy scaffa: that soothing lotion,
talcum powder drink. couperee cream;
that devastating drink, the Kansas
cyclone; who that observes these drinks
can fail to yield to their literary, if not
to their physical taste? And who will
not be glad to learn that 1t is not such
terrible thing after all TO be up
against a stone wall. at any rate when
the stone wall consists of teaSpOonful
tie of plain soda?
But an acquaintance with the ingre-
dents of mixed drinks is not all that

coct homemade Worcestershire sauce,

The presence of cholera morbus in large
letters on terms of equality with fur

sun AS HEALTH RESORT.
Sol Not Molten Sphere, but Shin
ing Sanatorium.

The western astronomer who an
nounces that the sun is not a molten
mass, but, on the contrary, delightful
place to inhabit, will receive more re-
spectful attention than would have been
possible ten years ago. That the sun
is the source of practically all the light
and heat we receive is undOubted, but
the nature of these two forces is not
only a mystery to US, but the theories
which have from time to time been
advanced concerning them have been
found untenable. Although we have
UNNECESSARILY increased our knowledge
concerning the universe and some of its
laws in the last four centuries, we are
not much nearer any appreciation OF
the causes underlying them.
The ignorant talk glibly about the
Subtle ether gravitation, light, heat
and electricity, but the wisest admit
that mighty little can be positively as
serted about any of them aside from
observed phenomena. No reasonable
explanation has ever been given that
explains the law of gravitation, which
alone of all these in the universe seems
to work exactly the same at all times
and under all conditions. No one can
explain how the rays of the sun pass
through the frigid space for 80 millions
of miles and yield us the warmth and
light without which life is impossible.
Very plausible theories have been ad-
vanced to explain how the sun main
tains it's volume of heat in spite OF the
constant loss through emanation, but
they are theories only.
The atomic theory was used for dec
AIDES to explain many things, but since
that has been destroyed or made doubt
full through the discoveries attendant
upon the Hertzian waves and the en-
anation of ions, scientists are at sea
where once they felt secure. Radium
exhibits phenomena that are thus far
inexplicab BILE. and it is probable that the
western astronomer has arranged his
theory of ali inhabitable sun largely
because of these recent discoveries
which have done much more to de-
stroy former views than to construct
new ones. He thinks that the sun is
the great dynamo of our system, and
that heat and light are mere effects OF
electricity as locally manifested when
in contact with matter. This sounds
well, but it means little. 1t does not
dispose of the difficulties attendant
upon the thory afforded by other
known conditions.
What can be said is that no one with
any intelligence will at once categor-
icalIy DISPUTE the theory. That period
has gone by. What Is demanded is
that he who DroDounds this or any
other hypothesis shall back it up with
reasonab BILE proof of a scientific nature.
We are unlearning many things just
now and are preparing to learn new
ones, and we must all approach any
subject with an open mind. devoid of
prejudice. The sun may or may not
be inha bitable. 1t is going to be diff
cult to estab lish either DroOosition.-

ALL A SHAM.
Fighting Bucket Shops on Moral
Grounds Denounced.
Moral

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Has the Chicago
board of trade made a total failure in
its efforts to suppress bucket shops?
w. S. Crosby, a member of the board
during thirty years, says it has. He
says further that the fight against
bucket shops was il-advised from the
start, that it has driven away business
and that the pretense that the cam
paign has been conducted for moral
motives is q sham.
AS to sthe assertion that the fight
against bucketshops is not commercial
but purely neral, Mr.. Crosby asks why
the board OF trade should enforce the
state law against bucketshopping any
more than the state laws against other
forms of gambling, or the factory laws
or a dozen others.
Mr.. Crosby has written a pamphlet
giving his views on the bueketshop
question, on trading in puts and calls,
and on corners, which are diametrical-
ly opposed to the present official pol
icies of the board, although they rep
resent the views of many of the mem
bers.
Referring to Corners which prae-
tically are sanctioned by board of
trade rules. although Illegal according
to a statute of this state, Mr.. Crosby
refers to the growing disposition to de-
eide cases of disputes between mem bers
arising from corners according to
principles of equity rather than to per-
NIT the board of trade itself to be the
final arbiter.

The effective force of the navy was
increased during the last fiscal year
by the addition of 25 neS4 vessels. These
vessels were the battleship Maine; the
four harbOr defense monitors, Arkansas,
Nevada, Florida, and Wyoming; u tor
pedo boat destroyers; one torpedo boat,
and seven submarine boats. Since the
close of the fiscal year, and therefore
not included in this enumeration, addi-
tional vessels have been accepted as
follows: One protected cruiser, the
Cleveland, October 20; one torpedo boat
destroyer, the Macdonough, July g..
Aside from the foregoing vessels which
were built for the navy, there were
transferred from the army the trans
ports Hancock and Lawton, which have
been fitted up for use as receiving
ships, and the hospital ship Relief; and
from the treasury department the
schooner Eagre. During the fiscal year
two vessels were dropped from the
navy, the iron tug Leyden, which was
wrecked. and the iron paddle wheel
gunboat Monocacy, condemned as un-
serviceable, and later sold
