A curious failure of the gold used in British
coinage has been brought to notice by DR.. T. X.
Rose. This metal is an alloy of 91.6 per cent. of
gold and S.3 per cent of copper, and it is made
so brittle as to be unfit for use by the presence
of minute traces of such impurities as tellur-
ium, lead, bismuth, etc., although considerably
larger quantities of the same elements, except
bismuth, do not affect the ducility of fine gold,
the effect of the impurities is counteracted by
adding copper oxide.

Seeds of the castor-oil plant are surprisingly
common in Egyptian tombs. Prof. Larit,
cent French investigator, finds that some seeds
from Theoes must be at least 5000 years old and
from an ancient papyrus concludes that the oil
was used for much the same purposes as now.

Unpatriotic Political Shirks.
[Boston Transcript


Patriotism, like charity begins at home,
provided it begins at all, and il does not lie
in protcstation, but in service. The man
who neglects his political duties on cleo
ton day is merely so much social lumber.
He is OF little value, even for ballast.
Patriotism works from the center toward
the periphery 1t has its beginning in the
home. II normal and healthy in its
growth. it gradually embraces larger in-
terests. the good name and general well
fare OF the community, the town. the city,
the state and the nation. Patriotism can
not be developed along any other lines
and be natural and genuine. The political
shirl< may be moved out OF his apathy by
events accompanied by great public excite
ment, but he is like the man swept into a
general macstrom OF contention by some
strong revival, but who usually recovers III
a few weeks or months. to be farther away
from the instrumcntalities of grace than
he was before.

DRESSING FOR "PARslFAL." !"
Strange Effect of the Impressive Per
formance Upon New York Culture.
New York Times.


The question how the man who wishes
TO be in strictly good form shall dress
for "Parsifal' is profoundly agitating the
community. The Panama imbroglo, the
grave problems OF the Orient, the munich
pal slate. the open shop-eyerything, in
deed, which claims public attention as of
cngrossing interest, is for the moment
subordinatcd to the question, How should
a gentleman dress for this two-part opera
Of indeterminate length, which begins an
hour before the proper time for evening
dress and may continue until evening
dress will become as incongruous rs il.
usually appears at breakfast? Those who
are willing TO forego food during the in
tcryal, and will devote the time to run
ming home and changing their clothes,
may dismiss the matter from mind. For
them it is not a problem at all. They can
come in the afternoon in frock coats, and
reappear after recess in the sombre glory
Of the expansive shirt front and the regu-
lation swallow tail. But for the average
man this is scarcely possible He must
elect day or evening dress. If he chooses
the former, he will realize before the
night is over that his indiscrction is ex-
pressed in crescndo until, somewhere
about midnight. it will attain to what the
musician will recognize as fff. On the
other hand, IL he prematurely assumes
evening dress, he will have the satsfac-
ton of knowing that his offense is ex-
pressed in the dimnuendo and that within
an hour OF the opening Of the opera it will
have ceased to be, leaving him in perfect
form Probably most of the fashionable
men will choose the latter alternative. In
the artificial light OF the opera house even
critical people will forget (during the first
hour at lcast) to look at their watches,
and when this occurs to them the dress
coat will be all right.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1r 1903.
THE CALAMITY IN CHICAGO

An audience OF / 200 people, almost ex-
elusively women aud children, is gathered
in the newest and most modern thcater
in America for an afternoon OF amuse-
ment. The tawdry stage trappinss OF
spectacular performance are ignitcd by
electric wire. The fire proof curtain
Under pressure OF the draft caused by
the flames cannot be lowered more than
hali way, there is panic, an explosion
OF oyer-heatcd gas, the burlesque perform
ance is transformed into the most terrible
scenes Of agonizing death, and the count
OF victims exceeds half thousand.
Language Is inadequate 10 picture such
calamity The most commonplace de-
tails are OF character to appall the mind
and make the heart sick. For each OF the
minutes OF struggle and suffering Tor the
hundreds thus called to die there are
hours OF suspense and days OF anguish
and years OF sorrow for thousands OF rcla-
tives and friends. The shadow of
great grief which may fall upon any OF us
without warning is across the thrcsh=
hold OF the new year.
Wise men. with new guide lines from
experience, may seek to locate the cause
from the consequences. Ignorant crti-
cisn and camor may add TO the misfor-
tunes of those Who failed in their best
endcavors. With the facts thus far known
as reasons, one might as properly hold
the architects OF Lisbon responsible for
tie dead beneath the earthquake debris as
to charge the owners and builders Of
the lroduois thcater with contribution to
the awful events OF yesterday. The
building was not constructed in disregard
OF approved rules and in contempt OF
the safety OF patrons. II was the latest
production OF the best skill and material
which experience and knowledge could
suggest and which lavish expenditure Of
money could secure with especial care 10
insure safety. The results furnish last
ing object lesson in illustration OF the
inefdecncy OF human knowledge and
modern invention TO safeguard human life
but ii such structure as this is described
10 have been. and still existing with ever
the plush furnishings unscorchel in man,
parts OF the house, then every playhouse
in the world may be properly CONDEMNED
and prohibited Tor public use.

FOR A STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Perhaps as valuable a suggestion as any
yet made at the meeting OF the Montana
Academy of Science. Art and Letters ut
Anaconda, is that which came from the
lips Of President llrod OH the first day Of
the session. That was for effort TO Sc
cure a state geological and biological sur
vcy OF Montana, Acting on the suggestion
the academy has authorized The president
10 appoint committee Of five 10 present
the subject TO the public.
While the federal government geological
survey is doing a splendid work through
out the country il cannot be expected that
il will give Montana all the attention that
the state requires. So far. the federal SUR
yey has mapped comparatively few quad
ranges in Montana. II Is working all the
time, but the field it must cover is so large
and It's force and resources 50 small that
the completion OF its work i'll Montana is
yet many years distant.
The value Of geological as well as a
biological survey OF the state will be in
estir1ble. As a means OF attracting in
yestment, making more widely known the
undspulcd and immense resources Mon
tana contains and exploiting the possibili-
ties in development, such surveys will do
inestimable good. The experience of other
states proves this. 1t is no new or revo-
lutionary thing which President Elrod sug-
gests, but something the praciicability and
value of which is already proven. 1t is
hoped that the agitation to be begun by the
academy will be successful.
