COMPONENT Parts of an Atom.

The atomic theory has been aban-
doned by all; the atom is known posi-
lively to be decomposable. 1t is the
number of it's corpuscles,' or ions, that
determines the character of the atom.
An atom made up of 700 corpuscles
is a hydrogen atom; one of 11,2OO cor
puscles is oxygen, etc. But what are
the corpuscles? Sir William Crookes
points out that In 1875 that daring
spirit, William Kingdom Clifford, adj
vancing upon some vague specula-
tons of Faraday and Sir William
Thomson (now Lord Kelvin), wrote
definitely: There is great reason to
believe that every material atom car
ries upon it small electric current
il it does not wholly consist of this
current"

FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES,
Joker Has Natives ScrambIing for
Heated Coins,


Heated Coins.
While big crowd of idle laborers
passed the dull afternoon hours away
on Gale Soledad, near the Binondo
canal, yesterday, practical joker con-
cluded that it was about time to create
some excitement and to llven up
things, says the Manila Cablenews.
He utilized the stove of a restaurant
for the purpose of heating a big lot
of copper coins until they were in a
white glow. Then he got shovel and
threw them among the chattering ma
lives, who at once commenced to fight
and scramble for their possession. No
sooner did the natives step on one
of these heated pieces of money, or try
to grab it, than he dropped it again
and hoped about frantic with pain.
Later on, when the money had cool
ed off, it disappeared rapidly, but the
joker and the bystanders had had their
fun.

The r3ossum's Mistake,

A 'possum more bold than prudent,
wandered into the heart of Joplin the
other night. His rashness cost him
dear. A venerable negro. came along
and saw him on the top board of a
neighbor's fence. The 'possum saw
the negro at the same time the negro
saw the 'possum, and dropped and
tried to run, but was too late. The
negro overlook him and caught him
by the tail, and the next night the
black aristocrats of the town sat down
to a toothsome meal. 1t doesn't pay
a 'possum to get too gay when black
man is about.

Morning..

We say her baby eyes grow dim,
AS fell the summer night,
And knew that all the things of earth
Were fading from her sight.
Her baby hands put out to touch
The faces that she knew
So day went out, and all about
The shadows deeper grew.
We held these feeble hands to guide
Her up the narrow steep,
And felt the throbbing fever tide
Our hearts too full to weep.
But with the faint first CLEAN Of day
We knew that she had gone
Adown the happy sunrise way.
Across the peaks OF dawn.

poor ladies budding through the mud
trying to make their way to the candy
pull. They felt somewhat disappoint-

sugar in sight. The best thing they
could do when there was no candy to
pull, was to pull through the mud for
home, sweet home.

they are prone to drunkenness
