of the contract money remains I'M

The paradox of radium, its exhaust

ity to give off light and heat without
loss of weight or absorption of fresh
fuel, has, in the language of Lord KEEL
win, placed the first question mark
against the principle of the conserva-

upon which all modern science is built.

Magazine. How like a woman! The

she upsets the applicant, and he must

philosophical treatises proving that
o only was the conservation of ener-

really impossible and unthlnkable that
nature should have been otherwise.
The principle need not, however, be
thrown overheard just yet; we hardly
see how one could get on without it,

TAXATION
IN STATE.

Trenton, JUNO Ex-Governor Murphy
wal ut the State House Tuesday Tor
the first time in almost tGo months.
ThcExecutlve was looking very much
better after his trip abroad.
The opening of the Supreme Court
attracted to the State House many law
yers from all over the state, and III
consequence Governor Murphy had an
unusually large number of visitors,
who called upon him to welcome him
home.
Just before noon Governor Murphy
announced that he had decided to ap-
point the four members OF the State
Board of Taxation aud Chandler W.
RiKer as members of the Equal Taxa
tion Commission, the appointment of
which was authorized by the last
Legislature.
1t will be remembered that the
Governor some time ago appointed
Chief Justice Gummere, Justice
Garrison, Elk Ex-senator William M.
Johnson, Charles q. Black and
Chandler W. Rlker as the members Of
the commission. The three first named
declined to serve, Senator johnson on
the ground of ill health, and Chief
Justice Gummere and Justice Garri-
son because they thought that their
Offices as judges of the Supreme
Court made it their duty to decline.
Governor Murphy sail that before
he went away he asled the Chief
Justice and Justice Gtrrison to think
tho matter over in tIM hope that they
might reconsider tksirr destinations.
He said that he was called upon
Tuesday morning by Chief Justice
Gummere, who said that both he and
Justice Garrison mad thought the
matter over carefully and were still
of the opinion that tile offices which
they held and thei1 duty to thoir
associates wonld not-4ermit them to
accept the appointments.
Governor Murphy said it was a
.di ficult matter for MIN to appoint
men on the commission who would
seem e%utiraly unpreinliced and who
at tho same time colld handle the
matter in the intelligent way it
should be handled. III these circum-
stances he had decided that tho best
appointments he coult make would be
the members of thoState Board OF
Taxation, Ms they are'all men familiar
with taxation matters they come
from different parts of tho state and
time will be saved hasmuch as they
will not have to give tho same prelim-
mar study to the, subject thnt per-
sons unfamiliar with it would.
The members Of the State Board Of
Taxatio1,have accented the appoint
ments. The memlprs are: Charles
