Make Money.

Hew attractive that sounds to Amer
leans. even To the boys and girls. We
are all bent upon making money, and
every reasonable way Of doing this is
to be commended and encouraged
But there are at least two ways chit
drcn have of getting money that are
not to he encouraged at I'll.
For example. here is a little girl who
will not sit still in church unless her
, father gives her IL penny. She did not
honestly earn that penny. for she ought
to have been quiet in church anyway.
If she wriggled and giggled the thing
she really earned was spanking.
When grandma or auntie wants let
ter mailed Toe says: "I'll take it for a
nickel" Suppose Joe's mother should
say: Joe I'll bake YOU turnover il
! YOU give me cents" That would be
different. wouldn't it? Such bartering
is outright begging. There is plenty Of
work that ought to be paid for, of
course. but there are thousands Of little
things we must feel glad to DO for the
friends we love. or simply because we
wish to De obliging.
Another way to get money is to try
to sell things that you know person
does not went. You go to a friend Of
yours and say: If sell ten packages
of this article I shall get handsome
premium. Please buy one. Mrs. JONES'"
Mrs. Jones answeres that she does not
care for it. but will take a package
just to please you. How much better
YOU would feel if you could have offered
Mrs. Jones something that she could
make use of. And how much better
pleased Mrs. Jones would have been.
Suppose you go out into the fields
and pick some wild blackberries and
offer them to Mrs. Jones' She is like
ly to say: "Oh. yes; I'm very glad to
have them. How nice and fresh they
are. Where did you pick them?"
Then. you see, you had really earned
your money. and the person to whom
the sale was made felt that she was
getting her moneys worth. That was
a sound business transaction. That is
the kind to be encouraged. There is
many an article sold by statesmen who
go from house to house that is well
worth its price, and this, too, is COM
mended.
We all want to be businesslike about
our mOneymakinE. The first thing to
think of is: What can do better than
any one else that is worth money!"
Or For what particular occupation
have / a special liking?"
When these questions are answered
TO your satisfaction bend your energy
in the way you have chosen. Success
will require patience and strength and
time and brains. Sometimes one has
the genius TO invent new occupations
and so Great his own field Of work.
1t is better to begin on the smallest
capital than to borrow.
If you want to raise chickens and
haven't cent to buy the first hen.
pick berries enough to get money to
start, and keep turning over and over
the income from the business. That
is the way solid business is built up.
Make your first investment with your
own cash. make this pay for your Sec
ono. your second for your third and so
forth.

USES FOR RADiUM,
c elects in Diamonds May Be Fully
Revealed by New Process.

An exceedingly interesting use for
.adiu.n was recently suggested in a
ra''e" read before the Royal Society by
Sir William CrOolles. Sir William was
in.estig tis the character of the coat.
ing which radium salts impart to dia-
n!oiids exposed to their action. The
surface of IA diamond thus exposed for
sometime becomes more or less smoky.
To determine the character of this ac.
ton two diamonds were secured. which,
incidentally. had pale yellow tint,
technlcaliy Known as "Of color" an ef-
rect which decreases the value of the
gem. and. probably. is The reason they
were selected for this experiment. One
OF these diamonds was expOSed ~ a
radium salt until it acquired a decided
ly smoky coating. Upon removing this
IT was found that the original yellow
color had given away to a hlrish tint,
showing that iridium affects not only
the surface of diamond but in some
way acts upon the whole mass of the
stone. IT off-cOlor stones can be light
ehed IN this way and the change is
permanent, their value viii be much en-
BANGED. and a new field for the use of
radium will have been developed.
While this use is hardly scientific, it
seems entirely proper that radium. the
most expensive material known, should

GU: most precious gems. Possibly the
raolumlZed diamonds may be put in a
class by themselves Evidently there
is no immediate prospect of Il decrease

new uses are being devised for them

duced.

Why Manufactures Oppose the Met.
rio System.

That the scientific men who advo-
cate the general adoption of the metric
system are chiefly students Of abstract
science. while the practical men, manu-
lecturers, and engineers oppose it, is
the opinion of F. A. Halsey. writing to
Science. The advocates Of the sys-
tenn. ne thinks. usually fail~to recog-
niZe the ground on which it is op-
posed, namely. the difficulty of chang
ing established manufacturing stand
ards, Sucn as textile. screw-thread. and
pipe standards" The reason why
scientific men favor the system while
manufacturers oppose il is. according
to Mr.. HalSey. because the scientific
use of measurements consists in meas
uring existing things; the industrial use
of measurements consists in making
things to required sizes" He goes Oil
to say:
In scientific work the change in

ments only. while IN industrial work it

opinions of the nom scientific upon
scientific questions, so we have no
respect for the opinions of those who
have no expert knowledge of manu-
featuring upon the effect of this change
upon manufacturing industry. We
acknowledge that our language is
harsh. but it is no way more so than
the stock dismissal Of all objections to
this change as due to ignorant preju-
dice and it is not for those who have
ALWAYS treated our views with con-
tempt to object when they find their
own non-expe views treated in the
same manner.
What scientific men need to learn
more than all else in connection with
this subject is that their experience
their knowledge. and their horizon do
not include manufacturing. They have
uniformly failed to recognize the
difference, or. indeed that there Is n
difference between measuring things
and making things. They are meas
urers. not makers. and their opinions
have no value and no application as
related to manufacturing.
The proposition is that we make
this change in industry and commerce.
II is. therefore. an industrial and COM
rercial. and not scientific question.
II is the province Of scientific men to
determine the weights and measures
