tuberculosis. The decline OF this rate
to any notable extent began in 1886
and has been very rapid since that
time. From 1876 to 1886 the rate was
81 per 10000 In 1887 the drop began
and continued down to 1900, the date
of the statistical report. when 1t had
fallen to 81 per 10000, In England
in the same period, the drop was from
81 to 10. The rapid fall in the Prus

Stevenson declared in his rather fin

Francis E. Leupp says that probably

Congress was made by Ben" Butler,

had fallen afoul of him one day, and
poured upon him torrent of abuse
which would have excited general in
dignation but for an uncOnsciously
ridiculous gesture with which the ora
tor accompanied almost every alter
nate sentence; this tempered the dis
gust of his hearers with mirth. He
would raise his arms just as high
above his head as possible, and then
wiring his hands as if he were making
delirious attempt to wiring them off.
Butler sat through the speech with his
eyes half closed, not moving muscle.
He rose when his assailant finished,
and stood calmly in the aisle. After
perhaps minute of silence he began:
"Mr. Speaker" Another impressive
pause, and expectancy reached nearly
the bursting point. Suddenly raising
his arms, Butler reproduced exactly
the awful gesture of the Ohio con.
gresham. Then his arms fell to his
sides. and for another minute he stood
silent "That is all, Mr. Speaker" he
said finally and sat down; Il just
wanted to answer the gentleman from

Atom" means something indivisible
but the chemical atom has belied its
name. The atom Of hydrogen, the
smallest and lightest OF them all, Is
now believed to be made up Of about
seven hundred "electrons"-a name
given to the ultimate particles of mat
ter, each of which is charged with cleo
trlcity. There is, perhaps, no grander
conception Of the constitution of mat
ter than is that set forth in q recent
| lecture by Sir oliver Lodge, one Of the
| foremost men Of science Of our time
He asks us to consider an atom Of any
element as an Infinitely little solar.
system. If the electron be conceived
Of as having the size Of the full stop

an atom of hydrogen will be that of Il
church one hundred and sixty feet
long, eighty feet broad and forty feet
high Less than a thousand electrons
occupy the atom, in the sense that an
army occupies country. They pre-
vent anything else from entering; they
make the atom impenetrable, although
they do not fill trillionth part of the
space with their actual substance. The
electrons are In violent motion among
themselves, having a speed probably
one-tenth that Of llght-thousands Of
miles second. Yet there Is little dan
ger of collision, for the electrons are
much farther apart in proportion to
their size than are the planets Of our
| system. Thus, says Sir Oliver, we
have come to an atomic astronomy
and he suggests the amazing thought
that there is no such thing as absolute
size, and that even solar and star sys-
tens may be the atoms Of a larger
universe. 1t seems a contradiction in
terms to speak of the study of an atom
as a means Of broadening the mind;
