CARRYING DEADLY WEAPONS.

Is it not possible that some practical, legal
way NAV be discovered in this country OF sup
pressing entirely the practice on the part Of prl-
yate persons of constantly carrying deadly
weapons? This habit is not common In any
part of Great Britain, France or Germany. 1t
is. however, a prevalent custom among large
numbers of immigrants who settle in the United
States-at least for a time-and also among
hosts of native Americans.
Even In this town there are too many permits
for the carrying of pistols which have been
granted by the Police Department. Members
of the police force and watchmen and other
guardians of the peace may be fairly entitled
to 60 about as walking arsenals, but too many
reckless, hotheaded citizens in this and other
communities carry revolvers in their hip pockets.
This is an abuse which ought to be done away
with at the earliest possible moment. Even the
SAFE Of deadly weapons Of all kinds ought to be
more carefully regulated in every State OF the
Union. Few Of our commonwealth have failed
to restrict at least to some extent, the traffic
in dynamite. Why not. then, supervise legally
the buying and selling Of firearms?

PTZZLING RADTATIONS.

To such a degree of curiosity has the pubic
mind been aroused by recent revelations con-
corning the properties of radium that dScoV-
cries which seem to be in any way akin thereto
are sure TO be received with lively interest
This will be the case with statement made 10
a Philadelphia scientific society last week Dy
Professor Arthur W. Goodspced- He reported
Photographic action upon sensitive plate
under circumstances which apparently indicate
a procedure not before observed. Shadows
were thrown upon the plate by ring and coin
and were registered there. An ray tube COLI
stituted part of his apparatus, but what was
regarded an insuperable barrier-a mass or
Iead-was interposed in the path Of its ema-
nations From the route followed in order to
reach the plate and from the position OF the
OPERATORS hand, it looked as if the radiance
either originated in the latter or else that the
X rays had travelled circuitously. According
to the press reports of Professor Goodspeed's
lecture he incInes to think that the latter ex-
PLANTATION is the correct one He is said to sup
Element that opinion, though, with the belief
that the hand wrought some transformation in
the radiance so that the nature Of that which
was emitted by his flesh was not identical with
that which was absorbed from the vacuum
tube Some accounts credit him with calling
the phenomenon human light"
Until the matter has been studied by other
PHYSICISTS with a view to detecting defective
methods and faIlacous reasoning, it will not
do to accept the story conclusive. Still, even
as ii stands, IL prOvokes two or three obvious
suggestions. Had the phenomenon been ex-
cusively and purely of animal origin the OBJ
served effects could have been produced with
cut a vacuum tube at all. Already 1t is known
that wide variety of inanimate substances
possess the power of throwing off something
which, if not the same as Becquerel rays
at least acts like them. The varnish in print
er's ink retains this property so long that books
which are nearly a hundred years old will
leave an impress on Photographic plates. At
tention having thus been directed TO the posi-
bility it is probable that II living animals ex-
erted a similar influence the fact would have
been noticed before. Hence, assuming that
Professor Goodspeed has not been misled in any
way. it would appear that invisible radiance
does in phosphorescence. 1t would be absorbed
from another source and then given off by
bodies having certain susceptibility. In the
more familiar and unquestfonable phenomenon,
to be sure, emission occurs afterward and not
simultaneously; but the luminosity does not
originate in the substance which exhibits It.
That is the essential point
This is substantially the view taken by Pro

Whereas We have failed to maintain business
methods in the management Of charitable funds;
and,
Whereas, Business men have declined further
responsibility for such funds in our hands; and.
Whereas, We have refused to submit any
proper vouchers for money expended or to have

Whereas, Unkind people have said unkind

Therefore, without further expression of opin-
