lutely convincing proof of the greater
moral degeneracy produced by to-
baccO, as compared to that which al
cohol engenders. l have known per-
sons unable to supply the necessaries
of life to their families who, never
theless, went about the streets puff
ing well-filled pipes of tobacco.
As long as doctors and clergymen
are seen smoking, the poor newsboy
finds an illustrious example for in
dulging some form of the tobacco
habit.
The question of mental responsible
ity naturally arises in considering
the thralldom of any drug habit. Can
person fall a victim to a disgusting
habit without subordinating the will
power? Is it not evidence of mental
weakness to yield to the desire for
any sort of toxic drug? Is it not the
judgment of those most experienced
in treating the various forms of in
ebriety that some sort of mental
weakness, amounting at least to NOR
al responsibility, must necessarily
be present as a basis for the habit?
Criminal possibility is just de-
gree of mental weakness which is
characterized by loss of the power to
resist an impulse to crime. 1t differs
from civil or moral responsibility in
kind rather than degree.
1t seems every person who feels the
necessity of assisting the weak to be
stronger, and who feels the proper
share of esponsibility of citizenship,
should feel equally bound to recog-
nize and assist in suppressing the to-
bacco habit, as well as the whisky
and opium habits.
foxic drugs of any kind arrest and
pervert the growth of the young;
they degrade the sons of our best
families; they so weaken the mind as
to permit the formation of other hab-
! its degrading to the whole social fab
ric; they threaten the foundations of
our civilization.
Let us all turn upon the worst of the
drug habits and stamp it out, for, if
tobacco does not directly degrade the
boys and young men, it, at the very
least. brings them into association
with degenerates and perverts who
frequent the smoking rooms and club
houses in all our towns and cities.
and all our railways and steamboats,.

WHAT ELECTRICITY IS.
The Result of Splitting the Atoms of
Elementary Substances Into
Yet Smaller Units.

What is electricity? This question
is now answered by many scientific
men in way that would have aston
:-hed the most advanced thinkers of
a score of years ago; and yet their
conclusions seem to be supported by
the latest experiments, explains the
Peoples Magazine. According to
them, electricity is PURELY material,
and is the result of splitting the
atoms of elementary substances into
yet smaller units. An atomic chip,
or electron, is the unit of socalled
negative electricity" and what is
left of the atom is positively
charged" as we used to describe it.
The socalled cathode rays" are jets
of electrons, and where these strike
solid they produce the explosive
ether waves that we know as Roent-
gen rays. In certain atoms, as those of
iron, the free electrons circle about
the remainder of the atom, and this
constitutes the phenomenon of mag
netism. Those who hold these views
assert that they have thus discov-
cred, isolated and even weighed the
, electric substance, which may in
deed, prove to be the primordial SUBJ
stance-the ''protyle"-of the phil

The Girl He

There is much of action, of pathos, of

poverty, the tests of early manhood, Gown
Through a career as an officer in the fed

at Washington. With it is a pretty ro-

Int ernnI Parts in Action.

Internal parts of the living body in
action have been photographed by
DR.. p. IL. Eykman. In Investigate
ing the motion of the tongue, pharynx
and larynx in swallowing, he fixes
an electric contact on the Adams APP
pie, the movement of which closes
the current feeding the X-ray tube
at perfectly definite moment dur
ing the motion. To get a distinct
photograph it is necessary to repeat
the motion 100 or 100 times. The po-
sition of the contact is altered for
obtaining pictures of other phases
of the swallowing. Despite the diff
culties of this curious experiment,
fairly good photographs have been
made, and they throw new light on
the working of the organs of the
throat.

strips are connected alternately to
the positive and negative wires of an
electric circuit and it is obvious that
an insect alighting on the strips
must come in contact with both the
positive and negative strips at the
same instant, when the passage of
the current through its body accom-
plishes the desired end.
Arrangement is made to suspend
the flying killer from the ceiling or
to place it on a table or counter and
as it carries no poison there is no
