The telCnefS OF ouSSeN county VIII
assemble at Milford the 18th 18th aud
20th of November. The time was
changed in the hopes that we would
bemorc assured ofgood weather, though
we have been especially blessed in that
respect for the past two years.
All the arrangements have heen COM
pleted and the program Of the work
and entertainments will soon he done.
The talent secured for the day work
presents a very attractive program
The teachers and patrons should be
greatly prolited by attending. This is
our means of keeping in touch with
the latest and best thought along the
line of teaching If we are in the work
it is policy for Us to do cur very hest to
secure the most beneficial results fer
the pupils under our care. The de-
mands along the various lines of in
dustry for better educated men and
women make it imperative on the part
of the student to fully equip himself
before he seeks employment. A good
business education is not such a rsrety
as it once was and it is a question of
being better prepared than your COM
petitor in order to secure the place.
There are just as many places as ever
for good men aud women, but the
standard of qualification is very mnch
higher. Let us, as teachers, strive to
assist the pupils under our care TO at
tain to as high a degree Of efficiency in
what ever vocation they may choose
as possible Then we should endeavor
to each them to live in the fullest sense
/ of the word.

is IT MYSTERY OR MIRACLE?

Scarcely have we begun to realize the posi-
bilites of electricity, when startled by an
other discovery which even the dreamy Marie
Corelli never wove into fiction. The discovery is
called "radum"-a word we find neither in die
tonary nor encyclopedia but is easily reconciled
with the word radiate when applied to heat.
If radium fulfs all that scientists predict,
then perpetual motion is not far off, although here
tofore deemed an impossibilty. How many brains
have grown weary burning the midnight oil in vain
attempts to solve it, will never be known, Keely,
it will be remembered induced capitalists to sink
vast sums in his proposed invention, rather idea
which he sought to evolve into unceasing motion
through mechanism; but he died and the
motor died with him. This idea of radium with its
power is akin to the power of electricity IN its
operations to succeed steam, only great deal moro
so if we put faith in the predictions of some
scientists.
One of the most interesting lectures delivered
at the meeting of the British association was by
Vernon Boys, the president of the mathematics and
physics section, relative to radiuin. We find
synopsis of the lecture in last Sundays daily
papers cabled from London. Boys thought that the
term mystery of radium" was inadequate and the
miracle of radium was the only expression that
could be employed.
"The discovery he said, '.of what seems to be
an everlasting production of heat in an easily
measurable quantity by Mute amount of radium
compound is so amazing that even that many
of us have had the opportunity of seeing with our
own eyes heated thermometer, we hardly are
able to believe what we see. This, which can barely
be distinguished from the discovery of perpetual
motion, which it is an axiom of science to call i'm

GERMANY READY FOR EMERGENCY.

Amazing as are the revelations contained III the
voluminous report just issued by the royal com
mission appointed by King Edward to inquire into
the conduct of the recent war in South Africa
LAYING bare as they do to the gaze of the peo-
pie both at home and abroad condition of af-
fairs at which not even the most savage critics
of the British war department had ventured to
hint. yet it is well to bear in mind that the scan
das-for it is impossible to describe them by any
other word-have many precedents, not alone in
England but likewise in foreign countries. Says
"An ex-Atache" in the Chicago Tribune
Indeed, it may safely be asserted that in all
the great wars that have taken place since the
overthrow of the first Napoleon at the battle of
Waterloo, no war department save that at Berlin,
no military administration save that of Prussia
has ever been found prepared for the conflict or
equal to the demands made upon it. In each cam
paign the soldiers in the field have been not mere
ly hampered in their military operations but like
wise subjected to needless hardship, suffering and
loss of life by the Incompetence and the negli
gence of the war department at home. Popular
have been instituted for the purpose of appeasng
the Indignation of the taxpayers, aroused by the
discovery that their pecuniary sacrifices had been
to no effect. Reports have been drawn up and is
sued. But it has all been of no avail. and it is
doubtful whether today any European power save
Germany would be ready for the emergency in the
event OF sudden outbreak Of war;"

possible has left every chemist and physicist III a
state of bewilderment Added to this, Sir William
Crookes has devised experiment III which
particle of radium keeps screen bombarded Tor
ever, so it seems each collision producing micro
scopic flash of light, the dancing and multitude
of which forcibly compel the imagination to toll
low reasoning faculties and realize the existence of
aomic tumult.
"Radium in some respects has behaved III
manner contrary to that of all proper chemicals
Thorim and uranium, which have acted III the
same kind of way as radium. but with far less
vigor, would last a million years before there was
nothing left, or, at least, before they were worn
out, while radium, preferring a short life and
merry one could not expect to exist for more than
few thousand years. In that time one gram OF
radium would evolve 100000 heat units, sutfi-
cent if converted into work to raise 800 tons mile
high whereas "a gram of hydrogen, our best fuel,
burned in oxygen, has only yielded $4,000 heat
units or one thirty-thousandth part of the output
of radium"

FEAST OF THE SEVEN DoLoRS.

Tomorrow Sunday is the feast of The Seven
Doors. The Church has consecrated two feasts
to the Sorrows of Mary. The first is the Friday
before Palm Sunday; the second is the third Sun
day of September.
Bishop Cotton, the new bishop of Buffalo, occu-
pies literary corner the editorial page of the
Union and Times of that city. In an article on de-
votion to Our Lady of Sorrows, he writes:
Great and bitter were the sorrows which af-
fcted the Heart of Mary during the Passion of her
Divine Son. We should be mindful of these sor-
rows, and honor them.
Our Lord once said to a Saint: The tears
which are shed at the remembrance of Ny sorrows
very agreeable to me; but account of the
great love have for Ny mother, / love still more
those who mediate on what she suffered. To those
who honor the sufferings of Ny mother | promise
before death sincere repentance for the sins they
have committed. | will entrust the care of their
souls in a special manner to my Divine Mother
that she may accompany them on the Day of judy
ment.'
We can say at least seven Half Marys every
day in honor of the seven Sorrows of Mary 1t is
pious custom to receive Holy Communion on the
feast days"

Some time ago this paper discredted the report
that III the Conclave of Cardinals to elect pope
Austria interposed an obsolete medieval privilege
by interfering with the election of Cardinal Ram
polla. The report was made the basis for an edi-
torial in the Deseret News. From no less au.
thority than the London Tablet we learn that
there was absolutely no foundation for the report
The Tablet says: "On the strength of communi-
cation received from preate who was present at
the concave and during the whole of its sittings,
we able to say that neither the cardinals named
(Austrians) ever said one word about veto on be-
half of Austria or any other power. If any attempt
had been made in any quarter to revive the veto,
it would assuredly have been rcpudiated in the
name OF the holy see

Nothing so impossible as an object lesson. The
Washington correspondents attending the irriga-
ton congress rode over the San Pedro, the train
stopping Just long enough near Provo to enable
the scribes to greet and shake hands with Mrs
Smoot-"the only Mrs Smoot," the senator ex-
planned, with smile that caught the boys. Of
the correspondents will recall this incident
when they return to Washington, or as soon as
the W. c. T. Z. petition against the seating of
Smoot turns up in the congress- Some folks here
abouts will doubtless maintain that the stop at
Provo was designed for the Junior senator's bene-
fit chiefy-one of the tricks Smoot concealed up
his sleeve. If so, it was trump card, and it was
played effectively.
