 Various newly discovered rays of sur. prising properties have been disclosed in the N rays recently discovered by M. BlondIot. They have been found capable of raising the luminosity of a glowing solid or gas without raising the tempera- ture thereof. More light without more heat may be regarded as something of a paradox. An article in the Electrician, commenting on this says there seems to be, under the influence of the N rays some modification of the atomic virbrations which, while leaving their energy unalter- ed, increases their frequency. Tn any case, the fact itself is of great importance and interest. Anything tending to increase the luminosity of body at the expense of its temperature brings us nearer to a solution of the great problem of the economical production of light.

MARSHALL FIELD IN LONDON.
Chicago Millionaire Merchant Talks
 About America's Future.

From the London Mail
 Marshall Field, the well-known Chicago merchant and millionaire, arrived in Eng land recently. He was in an optimistic frame of mind.
 If we have a good harvest" he said, there is likely to be continuance of prosperity in America. With us much de- bends on the harvest, and at the present there Is every sign of it being very good one. But by a continuance of pros perity do not mean the high level of re- turns on capital obtained year or two ago. That was abnormal. That pace was too rapid to last, and 1t was by no means desirable that it should last. But there will be ample and adequate earnings for railways and other great commercial in- vestments.
 q regard the worst of the threatened labor troubles as over, and now sus- tained conflict between employers and workmen Is improbable. Things have been improving during the past month. The men have come to see that 1t would not be to their interest to rush into trouble. They are taking a saner view of the situation, and you must remember that labor nj America is the best paid of any in the world. The American work man generally has very little to grum- ble about
 '.Even the coming presidential election Is not likely to disturb business condi- tions. Fifty years ago, maybe, a pres idential election meant great upset for the whole country. That is no longer true. Steam and electricity have brought us together. Each part of the land Is in instant touch with the others. and the strain of the old contests is largely removed. All the signs point to Pres dent Roosevelt being the republican can- didate The suggestion that MT. Cleve- land should be the democratic candidate I regard as unlikely"
 MT. Field declined to discuss the atti- tude of the moneyed class toward Pres ident Roosevelt's nomination. Some of the more conservative members of his party wish he would sometimes adopt a more cautions policy was all he would oox

President Roosevelt on Lynchlna.

President Roosevelt Is a little abber- rant when he handles Indianola incl dents, but when he discusses lynching he goes to the heart of the matter, and his well-known force and literary skill do not go astray a particle. Vivid as the picture is 1t is not a bit overdrawn. His letter Is addressed to Governor Durham of Indiana, a state recently outraged by lynchers.
 In the Presidents communication there is no attempt to draw sectional lines, or color lines, or any lines at all except the one line between an archy and law. The question is dis cussed in all It's scope and bearings, and yet there is not line in 1t that will not commend itself to every friend of law and order The Presidential pen is ever ready, but it has given no subject more salutary and wholesome shaking than it gave lynching in the letter addressed to Governor Durbin
 MT. Roosevelt's picture of a lynch ing frolic of the torture or cremation sort upon the spectators or pa-- ticipants is strikingly real, and it must certainly have an excellent effect. "Whoever," he says, "in any part of our country has ever taken part in iawlessly putting to death criminal by dreadful torture of fire must ever after have an awful spectacle of his own handiwork scared into his brain and soul He can never again be the same man.
 The letter deserves the widest pos sible ciroqlatidn, because it is broad but fair proclamation of the form of 4 anarchy made manifest in lynching bees There is not line in it that should be changed. It is the truth, the wholel truth, and nothing but the truth. The -&ge-Herald rarely finds much to commend in President Roosevelt and his school of Dingleyites, but it does desire to express it's unqualified ap- proval of his Durbin letter. It is time Nv and just, and it will be strange in deed if 1t does not sink deep in the

 -TroiIus and cressids.
Over in Mississippi.

All will be glad to hear that in our sister state Prosperity is to fight the battle out with Prejudice in a second primary to be held on August 27 The long-haired Aardaman did not carry the state. His vote was 30,984, while the joint vote of the two conservative candidates for governor, Critz and Noel was 43,935. MT. Critz received 27,14S votes and Mir Noel, 16, ,792. Un- der the regulations of the primary law MT. Noel drops out, and the next race will be confined to MT. Critz and Mr. Vardaman.
 If Mississippi has any respect for herself-if she desires to retain a full labor supply in her fertile f1elds-if sEe hopes to attract capital and inn migration, the result of the voting on August 27 will not be doubtful. It is a straightout fight between an upbuild- HE COlSSiNdIlSn duu plOotl dtlh5 radicalism, and the intelligence of prosperous and progressive state will prove equal to the occasion. Tn the first primary the conservative vote was divided Between two excellent men, but in the coming race there will be no distracting features It will be a square stand-up fight between Prog ress and Passion, and Progress will win, The reactionists and mossbacks will be sent to the rear where in these days of factories and development they belong.
 Mississippi's educational system is the best in the south-the most ad- vanced and effective, and the state will not vote on August 27 to cripple it and to break it down. Judge Critz is known as a friend of public education. Ee believes that all should be taught to read, write and cipher, while MT, Vsrdaman says over half of the state should be kept in the densest ignor- ance. His play to the galleries will ue rejected, and Mississippi will come out of her great popular contest as sound as dollar, and her prosperity will go on unchecked.

ALABAMA AND FEE GRABBING
 JUSTICES.

From the Chattanooga Times.
 The fee-grabbing justices of Knox and Hamilton counties, Tennessee, may thank their blessed stars that they are officials in Tennessee and not in Alabama. Gov. Jelks of that state has just announced that he will summarily remove from office any justice of the peace or notary public caught doing any 'dirty work Fortunately he has the authority and his reputation for performing his promises guarantees that he will do exactly what he says he will. That Is the kind of authority we like to see lodged in the hands of the governor instead of the power to build up personal political ma chimes through the appointment of elec- ton officers. Put the responsibility for the honesty of state officials squarely upon the states chief executive and we have an idea that we will get good re- suits. But it would require very violent stretch of the imagination to hope for the passage of any laws by Tennessee legislature inteferring with the rights of the justice of the peace to do just as he pleases. In this connection 1t would be interesting to know just what effect the Peak law passed by the last legislature prohibiting justices from collecting fees in cases not originating in their own districts, has in this county It has been nullified we understand, by the chief fec grabber of Knox county. Judge McRey- holds and Attorney-General Whitaker, 1t is understood, are keeping their eyes on this regulation, and the justice at- tempting to evade or break the law will probably have his fees disallowed or file a bill to test the constitutionality of the act The Alabama way is the best, how avar

MORGAN IS NO BoeY.
"only Hooley on Big scale," the
 English Say.

Copyright, 1903, by the Press Publishing
 company. New York World) Special Cable Despatch to The World.)
 London, August 9.-"Morganeering, only lately a frightful bogy to English men, has become a gibe.
 It is a long time since any event has caused such universal qualification throughout England as the depreciation dergone as result of the current trust troubles
 MT. Morgan had become a veritable bugbear to Englishmen. It was feared that the International Shipping Trust was only an introduction for schemes for controlling Great Britains chief in- dustries. Their self-respect was touched, too by the suggestion underlying MT. Morgan's plans that he was setting about teaching them how really to utilize their industrial opportunities.
 Although by all rules of finance the Ship Trust was known to be grossly overcapitalized, still MT. Morgan had succeeded in creating such a scare that it was believed that by some mysterious agency of his own he would be able to reverse arithmetical laws and make 1t paying concern, ultimately getting control of the entire British shipping trade.
 It is a commoE thing now to sum up Morgan by saying that he is "only q Hooley on a big scale" In city circles it would be impossible for him to carry out any big scheme the distrust of his methods is so profound.

DEATH, THE LEvELER.

By James Shirley. [This poem is said to have made Oliver Cromwell tremble.l The glories of our blood and state Are shadows. not substantial things; There Is no armor against fate: Death lays his icy hand on kings:
 Scepter and crown
 Must tumble down, And in the dust be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade. Some men with swords may reap the field, And plant fresh laurels where they kill; But their strong nerves at last must yield; They tame but one another still
 Early or late
 They stoop to fate, And must give up their murmuring breath When they, pale captives. creep to
 death. The garlands wither on your brow; Then boast no more your mighty deedss Upon deaths purple altar now See. where the vietor-victim bleedF-
 Your heads must come
 To the cold tomb; Only the actions of the just Smell sweet and blossom in their dust
