JUNIOR ORDER OF UNITED AM
E9lcAN MECHANICS FACING
CRITICAL CONDITION..
D;ccens;on IN Its Rank Has Resulted
n S2iit-Ne" Order seen
Crc2nized.

r-!ILADEI pIIA. Pa, July S.-The
Junior order OF United american Me-
chaoics, which has been in existence
half a century and has membership
that extends throughout the entire
country, is facing a critical situation
as a result of the dissensIon IN It's
ranks. There has been trouble in the
order for years, but it was not until
recently that matters reached an
acute stage. The national convention
was in session at Minneapolis in June,
1899, when the National Council made
changes in the object of the order, it
is said Many of the members declar-
ed that this action was arbitrary, and
that the matter should have been put
TO a popular vote. The Council decid-
ed to establish an insurance branch,
and appropriated money from the Ma
tional Council to defray expenses. I'm
mediately after the convention a pro-
test came from five states. 1t was
ignored. The insurgents refused to
pay any more per capita tax. Charges
were preferred against the state coun-
Gil of Pennsylvania, and there was a
trial before the judiciary board Of
the national body. AS a result the
state council was directed to pay the
tax was paid.
Then the insurgents, representing
rional board to call a special session
to settle the differences The request
was ignored. The council was threat
ened with mandamus proceedings, and
a call for meeting for June. 1900.
was issued. Seven days before this
meeting the national council mot N
Philadelphia and decided that any
subordinate council delinquent in its
per capita tax could not be represent
ed in the state councils session. More
trouble ensued and the feeling grew
very bitter The subordinate councils
insisted upon representation, and were
arrested and fined for contempt of
court.
In September the act of secession
was officially carried out, and the in
surgents instituted suit to determine
which set of officers had been regular
~ elected. No decision was rendered
until last month, when the court de-
Clared in favor of the officers chosen
by the regulars. and said they were
entitled to act for the order. This led
to the final split in the order. Two
weeks ago the insurgents met in con-
vention at Reading and organized un-
der the name of the Order of hide
pendent Americans. The promoters
Of the insurgent movement are now
planning an organization even greater
than that from which its members Sc
coded. There are said to be about

Birth Of the Elements.

II Is an old question. Are the seven
ty odd chemical elements really ele-
mentary. or are they compounded of
something still more elementary In
the light II the recent discoveries about
radium Professor +. W. Clarke rccurs
to theory. advocated by him many
years ago. that rs the planets were
evolved out of the original ncbula which
gave birth TO the solar system the
chemical elements themselves were also
evolved out of something far less COM
pick than themselves. The fact that
existing nebul,e are very simple in
composition, while stars In various
stages of evolution exhibit more and
more complexity, until. In solidified
bodies, like the earth. great number
Of chemical elements with myriad of
compounds are found. is regarded as
strongly supporting this theory. The
phenomena of radium lead to the add
tional suggestion that in the develop
ment of the heavenly bodies we seem
to see the growth of the elements. so in
radio activity we witness their decay

A DEADLY MINE.
Poisonous Gases and Precious Metal
In Philippine Valley.

The famous valley of Death in the
island of Mindanao. In the Philippines.
has at last been compelled to give up
the rich treasure which for ages IL has
successfully guarded by its pail OF
death dealing gases. This valley.
which. true TO It's name, has dealt
death To many venturesome searcher
for the precious metal. is located In the
mountain Businesses OF the island. and.
according to the theories of scientists.
II is the crater OF what was once a
great and violent volcano. Volcanic
gases OF n most poisonous nature still
rise from Che depths of the valley and
hang over II like pail, never passing
away. and many natives who have at
tempted TO 20 down into the valley
from the mountains say that never be-
fore has any man who ventured into
its unknown depths returned TO tell OF
fits secrets. The distance across the
valley Is only a few miles. but the bot
tom Of II is constantly concealed from
view by the dense cloud OF poisonous
vapor overhanging 1t.
All u

and two other Americans. and. employ

the mountains inclosing the valley.

guides was left In charge of the outfit

He wou,da,t D,.,urh PRAYER

On a recent Sunday morning. while
services were going on. little Jack
cOnant. aged six years. saw tiny
flame issuing from the roof OF the
Methodist Episcopal church ut Osce-
ola. He ran TO the church TO give the
alarm. When he entered. the preacher
was praying. Being too reverent TO
interrupt a prayer. the little man step
ped outside the door and waited until
he heard the minister say Amen"
Then he ran In and yelled Fire"
The grownup people were not so
deliberate or reverent as little Jack.
They leaped from their knees. forget

casion. and ran for their lives.
BY hard work the church was saved.

experience with train conductor In
which each learned lesson.
The conductor. who knew Mr.. Rob-

without calling for his ticket.

sharply. "You have not looked at my

But I know who you are" said the
conductor.

piled the president. II might be trav-

began TO feel I'm his pockets for his
pass. He went through pocket after
pocket In vain search. while the con-
ductor stood looking grimly on.
''Come. Gomez said the conductor.
''If you haven't a ticket. sir. you must

examination and then. taking five
dollar bill from his wallet. paid his
fare from Philadelphia TO New York.

Transferring Valuable Painting
From Wood to Canvas.
A MADONNA 10y Botticelli. owned
by Secretary Hay and valued ut $40.-

cate operation. The painting was on
n wooden panel an inch thick. ana ow
ing To its age uhe painting is about
400 years oldl the wood began to
crack. the assures threatening to ex-
tend to the paint itself and ruin the
picture. II was decided to have the
paint transferred from the wood to
canvas. and the work was intrusted
to New York expert. who put In
year at his task. II being manifestly
impossible to remove the paint from
the wood, the only thing To he done
was to remove the wood from the
paint The first move In this process
was TO smear the surface of the paint
ing with Il thin. slightly adhesive sub
stance, over which were pasted tiny
bits of the thinnest tissue paper care
fully made TO follow the slight ridges
and bumps I'm the paint. Then layer
after layer of paper was added In the
same way until thick matrix was
formed. Then the really delicate work
began-that of removing the wood
from the back of the paint. This was
done almost entirely with sandpaper.
The closer the operator came TO the
paint the more careful his movements
had to he. and when at last sheet Of
wood no thicker than Il piece of paper
was left over the back of the sheet of
paint which, formed the picture Il slight
slip meant utter ruin of the master
piece. But care. patience. keen eye
sight and steady nerve won the day.
and the last vcstiGe of wood was re-
solved into powder. leaving only thin
layer Of paint lying on bed of tissue
paper. Then II strip of heavy canvas
was pasted TO the paint. The whole
thing WAS put into II drying room for
weeks: then the tissue paper was re-
moved. the picture vanished. and the
job WAS complete. The picture now

Sir Edwin Arnold.

1t is said that during his journalistic
life the late Sir Edwin Arnold wrote
10000 leaders. About the peroration
OF leader he was as careful as an
orator over his maiden speech.
Concerning his poetical powers his
cOuntrymen are becoming frank. now
that he Is no longer where his feelings
can be hurt. One OF them thinks that
he was true poet spoilt-"spoilt by
the rush OF obligations that flow from
our crowded modern life: spoilt. too. by
the facility with which modern cOndi

one popular success TO follow II up

winnipeg, Man., Aug. 27.-It is de-
veloping that there was SO much diff
ference Of opinion among the bankers
and grain men who took the recent
tour Of inspection, of the western Cam
ada wheat country, that it is an open
question whether the trip threw any
light on the situation. One member
Of the party makes the following
statement:
81 never saw a better stand Of wheat
and oats in my life than I saw on this
trip. There is, of course, a slight
damage by rust in the southern part
of the province along the North Da-
kota and Minnesota boundary but it
is small matter compared with the
entire yield in western Canada.
considered yield of 5O,000,000 very
conservative. You will notice that
the consensus Of the grain men was
44s0O9,000. This amount was arrived
at by ballot. imagine that they
would have placed this average much
higher had not some Of the members
been long on wheat. Everything at
the present time looks prosperous,
and I am sure that this crop damage
talk will soon be killed"
Another member of the party says:
'.We should be sure Of a 40,000,00O to
sc, 000, 900 crop and possibly better"
A local wheat&expert after consider
able investigation says that he looks
for crop Of betweeens 100000 and
60, O,OO0..
There is a general tendency now to
wait for threshing returns, before
conceding that the crop will go as low
as the 100000 estimated by the
grain dealers and bankers.
