Profs. j. ]. Thompson, Becquerel
and Roentgen, have demonstrated
the existence of objects so minute
that they find their way among
and between the atoms of matter
as raindrops do among the buiid-
ings of a city. More wonderful
vet, it seems likely, although it
has not been demonstrated, that
these little things, called corpus
cles," play an important part in
what is going on among the stars
Whether this be true or not, it is
certain that there do exist in the
universe emanations of some sort
producing visible effects, the in
vestigation of which the nine

RELIGION IN RUSSIA.

church is about the only place
where the poor and rich classes
meet in Russia" continued Mr..
Meyer. "They are both alike in
church. Poor and rich have to
stand there. The churches are
not equipped with pews and seats
like ours.
"The Greek orthodox church is
the church of the Russians. On
every side, in the hotels, in the
drinking places, on the walls of the
buildings, in the streets, every
where that one may go, is seen the
icon, the image which members of
that church worship. 1t takes the
place of the crucifix. The icon is a
picture of the virgin mother and
Child or some other holy repre-
. sentation, inclosed usually in 6
metal case. The face of the icoI
, is partly covered with this metal
: Just enough of it being cut ava,
! to permit the figures in the picture
| to be seen. Every good member o
f the church lifts his hat and cross

FORCE is THE NATIONS S LAW.

the Prizes of Nature.
Among nations there is but one
way in which the possession OF
the prizes of nature can be de-
termined, and that is by force,
saws Brooks Adams in the At
Iantic. Arbitration can only serve
where strength is equally bal
anced, and the matter in dispute
is not worth the price of the con-
flict. SO far as we now know the
district in which iron can be pro-
duced cheapest and in unlimited
volume is Northern China. Rus
sia is, at present, massing several
hundred thousand men in Eastern
Asia preparatory to an attempt
to crush Japan and absorb this
region. Each citizen can judge
for himself what attitude BELTS
the United States in this emer-
gency.
Furthermore, as industries ac-
ouire momentum the necessity for
a vent grows imperative. Ger
many feels this necessity. Ger
many and Russia form together
an overland economic system
stretching from the Pacific to tho
North sea. In the main the in
terests of the two empires are
identical. Meeting in centra
Europe, the adjoining ends o
these empires are fixed, but thu
,, extremities are free, and thu
Russia expands toward Pekin'
and Germany seeks toenter Soutl
America. But South America i

vacant, in the path of exchange
and accessible. Also South Amel

We all know than the nine

How to Make 1t Strong If Not Or
ganically Affected.
There seems to be something
more noticeable to the owner
about a weak heart than weak
head, says the New York Medical
Times. The possessor of a weak
head, as a rule, finds that it both
ers him very little; in fact, it is
generally a source of great COM
fort to him, such being the wise
provision of nature. Possible
lack of brains also is too common
complaint to attract much at
tention from the world at large.
When it comes 60 the average
weak heart, however, it insists on
being evident on all occasions; II
the owner rushes for street car
at unusual speed he is given turn
of breathlessness that may both
er him all day. If he climbs sew
eral unaccustomedf flights ofstairs,
again he is warned of his weak
pumping organ. This brings him
in time to the doctor with the
story that he fears he has heart
disease. But genuine weak hearts
are not as common as we might
suppose-many a smoker has al
instability of that organ due tC
tobacco which has not really af
fected it's strength, as the symp
toms would point out. Many
dyspeptic blames it on his heart
many a tight-lacing woman as
cribes her heartlessness to thi

COSTLY CHAIR CUSHIONS.
A Recent Fed Adopted by Rich
American Women.


In Japan the rich wear obis, or
sashes, made in lengths of three
and four yards, and stiff with gold
and superb brocade. The latest
fad of the American woman is TO
upholster chair seats with Japan
ese obis so that the seat in a sin
gle chair will range from $40 to
$1O0 in price, says the Kansas City
Star. Another fashionable chair
seat is of piece of old and hand
some tapestry that ranges in price
from $10O up. These tapestries
are sometimes Turkish workman
ship of real gold threads in rich
blue or red material, in one of the
intricate patterns such as these
people know how to handle SO
skillfully.
One of the handsomest of the
new obis chair seats has a ground
of bronze, worked in dull golo
threads, over which is scattered
: maple leaves, in natural sizes ant
| in magnificent coloring. One Iii
| orally sits upon natures carpet o
2 dried bronze foliage, scattered
= over with the newly fallen leave
r of gold and crimson which tn
l. wind has fiuttered down.
il Another superb seat is covere
It with autumn leaves of variou
It sorts, in masses. A design of pal
j. mauve-tinted blossoms in thic
n wreaths are sprinkled over tn
s. pattern, while a light-colored br
is cade has flowers and birds thick
le wrought in the material in tin
t, Of lavender, gold, pale brow
n green and gray. None but or1e

dull shades.
These magnificent chair sea

SURRENDER OF THE WEAK.
Suicide the Last Refuge of the Cow
ard--Gives Up Struggle.


The popular idea Of suicide un,
doubtedly is that it most common
ly results from excess of emotion
of some kind. The men whom
most of us think of as most likely
to kill themselves are those whose
passions are strong men who love |
and hate fiercely, are violently i'm
patient of physical ills, drink hard
or hold some idea so tenaciously
that it possesses their whole be-
ing and they become insane.
These are the suicides of ro-
nance almost invariably. But
Prof. Bailey, of Yale, in his recent
statistical study of suicide in the
United States, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, shows that they are
far from being the majority of ac-
, tual suicides. He has collected
| details of 10000 cases of suicide
| from 1897 to 1901 and analyzed
/ them with respect to the age, sex,
4 social relations and other COM
mon factors of their victims, and
# the known or apparent causes OF
d their self-destruction.
$ Bad health, insanity, disap-
% pointment in love and strong
drink do lead to suicide, but they
q are causes much less potent thar
,s business losses, while the most
10 frequent cause is what is known
j, as "despondency"-the feelint
"a that the victim has made failure
q. in accomplishing his purposes ant
lv that further struggle against th'
+s obstacles that confront him i
n. hopeless.
m That more than three men xii

what are the chief caases of su

TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
Takes Different Forms in Germany
America and England.

America and England.
Technical education has taken
individual shapes in Germany,
America and England. In Ger
many, says the Engineering Maga'
zine, it combines with the pains
taking requirement of knowledge,
typical of German education, an
idea of research; in America it is
the old-fashioned general collegi-
ate education modified by paying
special attention to technical sub
iects, with veneering of manual
training; in England to-day it IS
chaotic, but with tendency to
keep technical education on a
trade basis.
AS far as facilities go, Germany
depends upon state aid, which has
been literally supplied; America,
to large extent, upon personal
contributions; while England is
in the unfortunate position OF
having little state aid and no large
: benefactiOns.
$ The aim of technical education
4 is to apply scientific discovery to
: practical work. When any new
9 discovery is made in science there
J. are two attitudes to be conside'
y ered-the first is, how can ! de-
Il velop this discovery; the second
y is, how can l apply it. Germany
l. without neglecting the second at
r, titude, has added to it's technical
k instruction the first attitude
>; that is, the Germans combine re
a search with application. IL
/" America it is only lately that tech
y nical education has concerned it
d self with research work.

HE REFUSED TEN MILLIONS.
Poor Prospector Knew Value OF HIS
Mine and Kept 1t.

Poor Prospector Knew Value of His
Mine and Kept 1t.
The story of Thomas Day, aged
54, who refused $10,000,O0O for
his lead mine in Idaho, is remark
able as an example of almost SUI
pernatural wisdom, says the Kan
sas City Star. Day had been
carpenter, but with desire for
competence had turned prospec-
tor. For IL years he and his sons
worked in a mine that had been
previously abandoned by one who
had given up in despair. They
were often hungry. They endured
many hardships. When they
"struck it rich" they scarcely
knew how to meet the crisis. 1t
was not that $1O,000,00O was not
enough, although that was prob
ably much less than the mine was
worth, inasmuch as the offer was
made by John d. Rockefeller. But
Thomas Day wanted to retain pos
session of his property for cone
thing and for the other and prin-
cipal reason he declared that he
would not know what to do with
= 1O,OOO,OOO if he had that much
money.
In this day of inordinate greed
of struggling for more than "the
average" even among people oi
. the simplest needs, it is almost
a freakish to learn of one who has
declined wealth. But Thomas Da.
- - is a philosopher. Few men cal
possess many millions and live il
:, peace. The care of great richie
u u must be even more disturbing thai
y uncomfortable poverty to the az
- erage mind, and especially t
- those who 'fear that they shall b
poor"
:" "I never had as much as $5, 600 /
~ my life BEFORE" said ThomasDa,
y in declining Rockefeller's offe.
II "and if had $1O,OO0,0O0 it woul
q worry me to death. People woul
l be running afterme with all kind
of schemes, and it would take
force of secretaries to answer tt
letters. The old lady and l al
on just plain people, and we enjoy Iii
more by living it out in the We
1e- we've been raised than if we'd tt

a Although Thomas Days prese
he income is $4,000 per month al
I'D he is getting used to great rich
ga. by degrees, the only change he HI
he made in his life is that he liv
I'M more comfortably and has ceas

lis congruous things. He is wi
of enough to know the emptiness

are who have not been accustomed
