Justus Won Liebig.

Won Liebig was skillful in correcting
popular decisions on scientific subjects.
A notable example of this may be
found in the overthrow of the once
much discussed theory of "spontane-
GUS combustion" comparatively mod
ern error, dating, it seems, only from
the wear 1925, but which persisted long
after Lavoisier had explained the real
nature of fire, which was from time to
time put forward with success In the
defense Of persons on trial for murder
and received its last support from
Charles Dickens. His success In this
direction throws a pleasant light on
the progress of civilization. One won
ders what would have been the fate OF
Won Liebig had he opposed himself to
such an error in the sixteenth century
when Kepler could only save his moth
err from going to the stake for Witch
craft by satisfying her judges that she
possessed none of the signs essential
to witch. In those days Kepler did
not dare to say that there were no
such things as witches.-W. A. Shen-
stone in COrnhill Magazine.

PAYING 1ELLERS' ERRORS.
Those officials Are Usually Ready to
Recfffy Mistakes.

Those officials Are Usually Ready to
Rectify Mistakes.
A bank officer. referring in recent
address to the responsibility of paying
tellers, declares that the idea that such
officials were rarely willing to rectify
mistakes had little basis In fact. He
added: "IIow Is it that there exists In
the minds of many the idea that pay
ing tcllers are inclined to resent even
the suggestion that they make errors
in counting money? l have never
known one who made the slightest
claim to infallibillty. Who has not
heard the ancient and oft told story OF
teller who was asked by person for
whom he has cashed n check If he had
not made a mistake? AS the narrative
usually runs the self satisfied money
counter behind the desk is inclined to
become indignant and replies in a
pompous and abrupt manner that he
never makes mistakes. The consider
ate party then states that the amount
paid him exceeded that named In the
check, but the teller still maintains
that there can be no error either way,
as he never makes mistakes.
"Where is the teller who upon being
told he had made an error would fall
to politely inquire as to the nature OF
the same? The inference is that tell
ers are possessed Of so much vanity
and conceit that they lose the amount
said to be overpaid rather than ac-
knowledge an error. How unlikely
and ridicuousw-New York Post.

On their retHrn Norwood was found
hanging to the bar of a window
dead. He used a pair of suspen-

bar of the window and the other
around his neck.
The coroner held an inquest and

and other untortunates should be
free from politics and beyond the
cupidlty of avaricious grafters, bent
on their own enrichment.
The laws should be made strong
er against the spoils system,
against uepotism, against all forms
OF bribery, against the misuse of
public funds by borrowing or mis-
appropriating, against padding
costs with fees for alleged special
services when the legal fees have
been definitely fixed aud above all
against tampering with the sacred
ness of the jury system. Not only
of office, but, if need be.
disfranchisement should be the
FIRST step towards stopping these

went out on strike the 6rst day of
May. About 80 of them are en-
ployes of the Forbes Manufactur-
ing Co., and about 2Oof the Dage
Planning Mill Co., and the Benton
Contracting Co
The formal demand of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners was for an increase of SO
cents a day in the wages Of carpen-
tcrs and Z recognition of the union.
The strike is the outcome of a
movement that has been on hand
for some time. Formal notice was
served a month ago naming May /
as the time to go out if the demands
were not accededito.
Mr.. NJ. c. Forbes, President OF
the Forbes Manufacturing Co., is
the heaviest sNfferer from the
strike, as his business is seriously
crippled by the smallness, of the
force left him to ran with.
