ApoUr ONE ROGER w1LLrAms.

AS a specimen of the looking back
wards business a movement now on
foot in Massachusetts, goes the limit
Those who have read history will call
to mind one Roger Williams, who made
things interesting in the Massachusetts,
colony almost three centuries ago.
Roger was a preacher and a decidedly
Independent old fellow in a day when
independence in religion was not as
safe or popular as 1t is now. At all
events, and however right or wrong
his religious beliefs and teachings may
have been, 1t is certain that he ran foul
of the Puritanism of both the civil and
religious powers of the colony.
1t was a dangerous thing then and
there to oppose the Puritan sentiment
which dominated those who ruled the
Massachusetts colony. Religion was
in the ascendant with them. and any
one who was not in full accord with
the predominant sentiment was in for
a serious time, and that was what was
the matter with Roger. He was not
in sympathy with the narrow minded
Puritanism of the colonists and said sc.
He was opposed to the cruelties and
Intolerance of the magistrates and
said so. In short, Roger seems TO
have been at cross purposes with the
vuling spirits in many ways.
Naturally, but one result could have
been expected. The spirit which
burned witches, prosecuted Quakers.
dashed women and did various other
things of the kind could not be expect
ed to put UP with the Roger habit of
saying things. In effect, the rulers said
to him: stand not on the order of
your going, but go at once" and Roger
proceeded to go. More than that. the
rulers issued and recorded a solemn
decree of Punishment and enforced 1t,
so Roger emigrated and founded Rhode
Island. where he also founded some
thing nearer religious liberty than he
had experienced in Massachusetts.
All this is somewhat ancient history,
but 1t is recalled by reading that a
petition is now being circulated In
Massachusetts, and probably other
parts of New England, asking the
Legislature to rescind the order OF
Punishment which stin stands against
Williams. 1t will not do him any good.
for he has been dead two hundred and
twenty years, or Whereabouts. He
can't come back, for he's too dead. We
doubt IL he'd go back to Massachusetts,
If he could come to life again. for he
was ''sot in his ways" and wouldn't
return to State that treated him
shabbily.
We don't know what the originators
OF this movement expect to accomplish,
even II the Legislature gratifies their
petition. 1t will be a sentimental sort
OF apology or reparation. at best The
magistrates who banished the old fell
low never thought 1t worth while TO
apologize for their acts, and why
should it be asked of those who cannot
be held responsible for 1t Perhaps the
Puritans should have been ashamed Of
their intolerance. but they evidently
were not. Better let the old fellow
and hs@ wronRs remain buried

A DOUBLE TITLE.

Some of the hair splitters and logic
choppers are discussing the propriety
or improperly of using the expression
widow lady" or widow woman" and
when we come to think of 1t we must
admit that It partakes somewhat OF
tautology. True, we find the express
sion widow woman" more than once
in the Bible, but that good book is not
taken as a standard Of present day
grammatical expression And we are
pretty sure that one cannot find
widow lady in the book.
But why should the double express
sion be used at all. especially the lat
ter form of II? Every lady is not a
widow and we might add that every
widow is not lady. The simple word
widow" defines the sex. without ad-
dition. as the photographers define a
widow as "a woman who has lost her
husband by death and is still unmar-
ried." That Is sunicient to show
that the word is a definite one. We
don't say "widower man." nor widow
er gentleman. Further and more Of
II, we do not refer to q married woman
as wife woman much less wife
lady" That would be an entirely USE
less doubling of terms but no worse
than the one SO frequently used. II a
woman loses her husband. call her a
widow and let 1t go at that.

How the Heart In Affected.

The heart in bilious subjects is very
apt to be irregular in its action. Pal
pitation is very often complained OF.
and it may be so severe as to produce
breathlessness and even a sense of i'm
pending suffocation.
These patients are apt to imagine
that they are the subjects of heart dis
ease. When. in addition. slceplessness
is present. life becomes almost intol-
cradle.
The most alarming state is one in
which during the night the patient
lies awake counting the pulsation of
his heart, and finds that these become
less and less frequent. A cold perspi-
ration covers hi body and he breads
lest his heart is about to stop alto
gether. Morning brings some relief,
but unfortunately the same wretched
experience will have to be endured for
many a weary night In succession.
Fortunately this association of sleep
lessness and profound slowing of the
heart is not a very common one. When
it does present itself the patient Is not
long in seeking medical advice for
what he calls "a diseased heart"
The reinsurance given by the doctor
that his heart is quite sound does not
always Sring the desired sense OF re-
lief, for when the same thing occurs,
perhaps on the following night, the
patient is apt to imagine that after
all his heart must be affected.

A man as prominent as Speaker Can
non ought to have more fairness. as
well as self-respect, than to tell an
audience, as he told one in Vermont
sound on the money question because
he voted twice for Bryan. Such a
statement might do for a cross roads
demagogue, but Cannon knows better.
and the remark does him no credit. He
knows that voting for Bryan was net
an evidence of agreement with his sill

that men voted for Bryan who are
sounder on the money issue than he

SCIENCE NOTES.
The Age of the Earth.

In a recent lecture before the Royal
Institution in London. Mr.. Ernest Ru-
therford called attention to new
phase Of the problem of the earth's
age. which has resulted from the study
of radium and it's properties. 1t Is be-
lieved that radium is matter-possi-
bly, primeval matter-undergoing dis
solution. Other elements, such as iron,
copper and gold. may have experienced
similar dissolution in the infinite
past, or may now be undergoing it,
yet so slowly that the phenomenon
cannot be perceived. In this process
radium gives off an amount of energy
unparalleled elsewhere. thousands of
times greater than any chemical reac-
ton. but there Is almost no diminution
in the substance itself. Sir William
Ramsay has shown that the energy
existing in a pound or two of radium
would probably continue to manifest
itself for a period of $4,000 years. 1t
Is known also that while radium is
found nowhere in quantity 1t is widely
diffused and may occur more abundant
ly in the interior of the earth than at
the surface. Hence the earth's inter-
val heat may be due, In part at least,
to the presence of radioactive sub
stances The import of this conclu-
sion is apparent Lord Kelvin esti-
mated that the age of the earth could
not exceed 100000 900 years, with the
greater possibility in favor of 10000
600 years. The conclusion was based
upon the time required for a globe of
the earth's mass to cool to the present
condition. If. however. 1t is assumed
that the internal heat is due to other
causes than those connected with the
primeval condition of the earth, the
limits may be extended. This would
accord with the views of many geolo-
gists who are inclined to the opinion
that even the maximum of 100000, 900
years is too brief a period 60 measure
the evolution of life on the globe.
