digestive processes, for example, 1t is apparently leading toward the solution of many chemical mysteries that presented no tangible theories until it became possi- ble to reckon upon the presence of proper ties of the colloids. The presence of the small quantities of mineral material in- variably found by the chemist as a con- stituent of all naturally occurring vegeta- ble or animal matter-whether in the woody fibre of the tree or the sinew of the man,-is now in accord with the ex- pected. The growth of these materials takes place by deposition from a solu- tion, as sap or serum, and in that process a certain small quantity of the mineral matter is also deposited. In the ordinary digestion of food certain chemical phe- nomena are known to take place, such as the production of hydrochlorlc acid in the stomach, that have previously been unexplainable These reactions could never be obtained by combining apparent ly similar compounds-the chemical ele- ments supposed fully to represent the foods and those supposed fully to repre- sent the digestive products of the living organism-in the laboratory; but they are obtained when the colloidal substances are present, thus obviously suggesting that these little particles were the un- known factors in the equation.
 In the mamiliar phenomena produced by applying an electric current to the nerves of frogs leg it Is again not im- possible that the presence of these min- ute particles of matter, each of them highly electrified, may furnish a solution of the phenomena and thus eventually shed further light on the study of the

Boston, December 10.-1t has sometimes been figuratively said of great conquerors and of other heroic figures in history that they had iron in their blood'-a pretty figure which until within compara- lively recent years nobody imagined to be a practical possibility. But, as mat ter of fact, iron in the blood, held there as part of such minute particles of mat ter that no microscope is powerful enough to reveal them, is not the unique proper ty of heroes but belongs to all of us and simply constitutes one of the many so- called ''colloida substances" now under investigation by men of science on both sides of the water, and under examina- ton in this city as one of the important problems of the special research labora- tories of the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology. Very little has yet been heard, outside the laboratories, about these widely distributed collods, for their study is still largely in its experimental stage. Sufficient has been accomplished however, to open up a wide and inter esting field of future possibilities. It IS believed, indeed, that the presence or lneSe DllutTlO ullSuSptCitu liltiS PehA
 cles will throw new light upon many studies connected with the human body such, for example, as the various func- tions of the nervous system in living or gansms; with the growth of various forms of plant life; and with the further development of several commercial in- dustries. It has been discovered that the scientist, working in his laboratory, can produce very similar mineral and organ. ic colloidal solutions, which have, how ever, properties similar to those of the complex colloids of nature and it is through the comparatively simple study of their chemical reaction that the phen- omena involving natures colloids bid fair to be elucidated The colloids, whose ex- istence was first suspected some fifty years ago, reveal, therefore, condition
 that had before appeared impossible, namely, that such insoluble substances as gold, silver iron and other minerals may exist in liquids, in state analogous to that of an ordinary solution but with other distinct and remarkable properties; and also that they can thus constitute a part of almost every vegetable or animal organism. The further study of these minute particles of matter reaches there fore into nearly every form of life and matter.
 These colloids are infinitesimally small particles of substances that may be either mineral or non-mineral, organic or inor- ganic, standing in size somewhere below the highest magnifying power of the mi croscope Being invisible, they can be studied only by chemical actions and re- actions, although their presence may us- ually be detected by the color which they

impart to water or other fluids in which they are held in solution. In examining a solution of gold colloid-gold, in other words, so infinitely subdivided that each particle probably will be forever invisi- ble-the amount of gold may be roughly estimated by the depth of the red color which the colloidal substance has impart- ed to the water. Other colloidal suD- stances have other characteristic colors and although, under ordinary conditions the colloids would remain thus held In solution practically forever, there are cer- tain chemical agents-salts, which when dissolved, are capable of conducting an electric current-that not only causes them to settle in the form of fnsoluble masses, but appear indefinitely to prove that each of these Infinitely little bits of matter, beside which a microbe is a giant and a drop of water a world. Is charged is charged with electricity. This electrical condition is held to explain the fact that the individual particles would never voluntarily unite in visible mass es and so settle to the bottom of a vessel containing them. for each particle repels it's immediate neighbors in all directions and the whole mass is thus perpetually maintained in a state of suspension
 Roughly speaking. the condition is simi- lar to what might happen if each lump of coal in a coal bin separated itself by an inch or more from every neighboring lump-as one body charged with posi- tive or negative electricity repels another similarly charged-and the whole bin thus became filled with individual bits of coal held in suspension between floor and cell ing. ID the case of the colloids, they may be actually precipitated-and' this is held to be one proof of their electrified condition-only by the addition of the salts. known as electrolytes because of their power to carry electricity The presence of these salts immediately dis turbs the electrical conditions existing between the different particles, and by scientists working in his laboratory. can mits them to come together and form masses visible to the naked eye and each made up, it is believed, of millions and millions of particles. To return to the coal bin figure. the effect is the same as if the electricity in the individual coals were all at once diverted and absorbed by the woodwork of the bin itself and the coals left to fall to the bottom by force of gravity. It is one of the marvels of modern science that the invisible can not only be detected, but measured, and it has been estimated, in several ways. that the average diameter of these invisible particles is in some cases about tenth of the wave of light.
 It has been said the possible practical value of the investigation which, on its American side, Dr. w. R. Whitney Is now conducting in the research iaborator- les of the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology and DTS. Loeb and Matthews have been Investigating in Chicago reaches into many forms ot life.

COPPER WITH A HISTORY.
Cent That Determined the Name of the
 Oregon Metropolis.
From the Portland oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
 F. w. Pettygrove, son of F. w. Petty grove, one of the founders of Portland, and the man who named the city, has in his possession the copper cent with which his father won the right to select the name. He is commercial traveller for a San Francisco house, and naturally sees great store by this cent, which he has shown to many here on his visits to this city. Some of his friends have besought him to turn this cent over to the Oregon Historical society to be preserved. but he has not been able to make up his mind to do this. George H. Hines, secretary of the society, has been advised to wres- tie with Mir. Pettygrove, and it is not unlikely that he may succeed in securing this historical coin. Mir. Pettygrove has also in his possession the Bible used on the occasion of the first sermon ever preached in Portland, which, with the cent, was presented to him by his father as a keepsake.
 1t was in the summer of 1915 that A. l.. Lovejoy and F. w. Pettygrove, who own ed the claim on which Portland was To- cated employed Thomas A. Brown to survey their property and lay 1t off into streets, blocks and lots and when he had completed the plat the propretors under took to choose name for the newly born city. MT. Lovejoy desired that it be call ed Boston, in honor of the capital of his native state MT. Pettygrove contended that Portland was more appropriate, as 1t was at the head of navigation and the port where would land all the freight in- tended for the valley of the Willamette and all the southern produce of the terri tory. In order to decide the question 1t was proposed by MT, Pettygrove to toss a copper cent. which he had brought with him as a souvenir of his eastern home. This was agreed to by MT. Lovejoy. The cent was tossed, and MT. Pettygrove prov ing the winner. Portland was adopted as the name of the embryo city,

For the Man Who is Broke

of beer and free lunch, is luxury many addresses cannot afford
 It is optional with an addresser at what hour he begins in the morning and quits in the evening, and how much or how little he does during the day.
 Copy and envelopes, postal cards or whatever it may be that is to be ad- dressed, are handed out at the foreman's desk, usually from 100 to 800 at a time to each man. These are taken to a table and when completed returned to the fore man, who gives credit on his pay roll of the day for the work done. One may have to wait from seven minutes to seven hours. for any work to do.
 Copy is usually plain and easily read Three lines constitute the usual address. Four or five lines make slow work
 It Is to be observed in passing that de- spite the prevalence nowadays of labor saving devices and the substitution of machine for hand work, the writing of ad- dresses by hand seems apparently in no way to have diminished, and there is al- ways a job open for the plain rapid writer Typewriting addresses comes higher and, even in these times of i'm provement, has in no appreciable meas ure displaced the more laborious, but cheaper, addressing by hand.
 Perhaps this may be accounted for part ly by the unlimited labor market in this particular line of work. There are always enough would-be addressers to fill the demand, and more and still more to take their places when any drop out. And they are dropping out all the time.
 A few stay a week, fewer return the second week. and probably not one in twenty sticks to it for full month at a time. Few men are discharged, they don't have to be, for just as soon as an- other and better-paying job offers they throw up the addressing work with few regrets.
 Addressing is, in other words, purely a hard luck job, taken up as a makeshift by men who are willing to do almost any thing for work rather than steal, beg or starve It may be but one degree re- moved from starvation, but it is better than nothing.
 Consequently all kinds and conditions of men may be found in an Addressing es- tablishment From 16 to 60 the ages vary In one particular only are all addressers alike: not man of them but is broke.
 They are all has beens and up against if. Otherwise they would not be there

Of the occupations by which men make living in a great city, that of an ad- dresser offers apparently as easy an open ing as any, and pays as little It is adopt ed temporarily at least, by thousands of men in reduced circumstances, and, 1t may be added, abandoned almost as quickly as begun by nearly every one of them.
 Seated at long tables in a dingy loft at the top of some old building, men write for dear life to keep soul and body togeth- CT, by copying addresses at usually 7o cents thousand. A fair average Is l50 an hour, and the man who can do 200 an hour is rare: more often the average is 100 an hour than even 150. ... And, what is more, when the days work is done the average by the hour multi piled by the number of hours does not make the total by considerable. for there must be deducted all the minutes. ire nuently hours, during which no work was done, owing to delays in getting new copy after finishing a list, in waiting Tor more envelopes, perhaps, and rom many other causes unlocked for, but certain to occur As 1t is all piecework these de-
 
 ings of A writer, so that by the end of the week he finds his wages aggregate but a very small amount. The most he has probably averaged on six days work Is 1500 a day, and many days he will have done only from 250 to 1000 so if at the weeks end he has earned $6 he is more than lucky and the chances are that his earnings will be considerably less
 All work Is paid for on Saturday night, but owing to the needy condition of those who work at the business, it is customary in some establishments to relieve the needs of the moment by a system of loans to employees made by the manager at the close of work every evening. Not more than 25 cents is doed out to each man. and for the sum received he gives his I. O. U.
 It happens, therefore, most frequently that an addresser has little or practically nothing coming to him by the time Sat- urday gets around-perhaps s1.50, possi- ply s. sometimes even as low as cents. As a get rich quick occupation adress- ing is not a success.
 To become an addresser is simple. Ad- vertisements inserted almost daily in the newspapers show where the work Is to be had. Applicants are required merely to write their name and address on slip of paper, and if the penmanship is satisfactory the writer is immediately accepted No questions are asked; no references required.
 Work begins at 7:30 or o'clock in the morning and lasts generally until or much later, up to 10 o'clock, as a man is willing to work Frequently there is no stop even for luncheon at noon. A midday meal. other than possibly glass
