Mckinley Day,

ssThe Carnation IeAgue OF America, "
instituted as an annual memorial to the
late President William Mckinley and
dedicated to national patriotism, is a
fixed institution and insures perennial
observance Of January goth, the ami
versary Of his birth, as mckinley
Day. To wear the late presidnet's
favorite flower, the carnation, in The
lapel Of the coat, in the hair, or at the
throat, in silent memory OF departed
public servant, is what is contemplated
by this movement, in which the young
and Old Of both sexes can have part
The custom was first observed on jan
uary 29th, 1908, with the greatest
throughout the country, and
by Americans all over the world. II
is simple, inexpensive act and full OF
patriotic sentiment. All through Mr..
McKinley's life, both public and pri-
vate, there ran distinct vein of senti-
ment, and memorial Of this sort is,
therefore, peculiarly appropriate to
him.
The custom will undoubtedly be OBJ
served the coming 2eth day Of January
more universally, if that is possible,
than on the initial day, year ago.
Interest in the memorial has increased
wonderfully during the past year, and
Mr.. Lewis G.. Reynolds, of Dayton,
Ohio, who suggested the idea, has re
~ III ats,rN
approval from Americans everywhere.
No expectation is had Of giving the
movement the importance Of local or
carnations or annual meetings and
conventions, but in quite, unobtrus-
i've way it can be made to WELD an in
fiuence for good almost incalcnlahle
and to foster a spirit of true patriotism
worthy of our country and of the man
whose memory it is proud to honor.

Curious Properties of Radlum.

The properties of radium are ex-
tremely curious. This body emits with
great intensity all of the different rays
that are produced In a vacuum-tube.
The radiation, measured by means Of
an elecroscOpe, is at least a million
times more powerful than that from an
equal quantity OF uranium. A charged
electroscope placed at distance Of sew
eral metres can be discharged by few
centigrams Of a radium salt One can
also discharge an electroscope through
a screen of glass or lead five or six
centimetres thick. Photographic plates
placed in the vicinity Of radium are al
most instantly affected If no screen in
tercepts the rays; with screens, the &C.
ton is slower, but it still takes place
through very thick ones If the ex-
posure Is sufficiently long. Radium can
therefore be used In the production Of
photographs

ELEcrRlclrY in WARFARE
IL Is Widely Used In the FsrtiaeatiOns
Along the Coast.


An interesting instance OF the rapid
extension of the use OF electricity Is
furnished by the Notifications dlstrib-
uted along our coast A few years
ago the electric light was introduced.
to add to the comfort OF the garrisons
and 10 provide better Illumination OF
the works. once a generating plant
had been installed there was at hand
a supply OF power In convenient
and easily controllable form. and this
led to its use for purposes which were
not contemplated at the time the plant
was Installed. Electric fans have been
put in to make the living quarters
more comfortable In hot weather, and
electric motors have been adopted for
training the guns, class Of work for
which they are particularly well adapt
ed. Motors are used 10 drive the am-
munition holsts and to do other work
which before had either been done by
hand or some less satisfactory power.
Searchlights have been installed, en-
abling a fertilization to sweep the sea
at night. The various posts OF the
fortress are connected together by tel
ephone, so that the commandant Is In
touch at all times with the entire gar
rison, and can instantly transmit or
ders to any point, The various fortif-
cations along the coast are tied to-
gether by telephone and telegraph, so
that on the appearance OF the enemy
at any point all the fortifications
would be informed Of II. Submarine
mines are controlled electrically, and
even the guns may be fred by this
means by an officer at some distant
point. BY means OF wireless telegra-
ply fortification can be kept In touch
with the scouting vessels, and would
be informed OF the approach of the
enemy long before he is visible from
the coast. The telautograph may be
brought into service for transmitting
orders, and electric signaling lights
are replacing the older types, Electric
lights are used for rangefnder cross
hairs, for lighting the rangeinder sta
ton, and electric clock circuits fur
nish accurate time to all parts of the
fertilization. To insure the continuity
of these manifold services accumula-
tors are now Installed, so there will
at all times be constant and reliable
supply OF power. Thus, from being
at first a small auxiliary, the electrical
equipment has extended until II is
now probably the most important part
Of the entire equipment of the fortress.

BELL AND DRAGON.
Aud Why tho Bell Is So Often Adopted
as a Sign In London.

Aud Why tho Bell Is So Often Adopted
as a Sign In London.
The English are a music-loving ma
ton, and they love to hear music even
when going about their daily occupa-
tions, and so it is that the spires and
towers of her mighty cathedrals are
hung full of glorious bells. So fond of
bell-ringing Is "Merrie England" that
Handel once said the bell Is her ma
tioral instrument. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that we find this instru-
uCnt frequently adopted as a public
Sign. From early in the seventeenth
century Bell Inns were numerous In
London. In Knightrider street there
wus un old INN the vsalls OF xshiolA
were rrefaced with a giant bell cary Il
In bold relief; the keystone had the
initials IN. 7. A." and the date 1868.
This fine specimen is now in Guild
hall. But little step away. In Cater
Lane, there was another Bell Inn,
which has the proud distinction of be-
ing the hostelry from which Richard
Quyney wrote, in 1898, to his flowing
good friend and countryman, Mr.
Willm Shakespeare" the only letter
addressed to the Bard of Avon now
known to exist. The letter is pre-
served In Stratford. the home Of the
worlds greatest poet. Not far away,
again, there is a modern Bell Tavern,
a place where it is said that Dickens
loved to go when making notes for
David Copperheld."
One of the most ancient and reputa-
BILE wholesale druggists in the city,
while rebuilding on his old site, dug
out Of the foundations of the ancient
house an old sign Of "The Bell and
Dragon" 1t had lain there for more
than two hundred years. having been
used on a prior building before the
disasters of the Great Fire, and had
fallen through into the general ruins.
The popularity Of the situation is that
the firm had adopted ''The Bell and
Dragon" as their trade mark before
the discovery of this ire-touched relic.

How the Cherokee Nation Gets Over
the Race Problem.

How the Cherokee Nation Gets Over
the Race Problem.
The race problem In the Cherokee
nation Is solved to the general salts
faction Of the three races concerned
and the Intermediary mixed bloods.
In the location OF homes the Cherokee
fullbloods and negroes are mostly in
settlements. The intermarried whites
largely are in the towns and terri
tory contiguous to each other. The
Cherokee speaking citizens much pre-
fer to associate together
In the nation there are thirty
schools attended by fullblood Cherokee
children and seventeen by negro chill
dren. The negro blood schools are not
SO by legal requirement, but as a corol-
larry OF their preference to live near
each other. The Cherokee and negro
do not intermarry or socially mingle.
Two seminaries and an orphan asylum
are attended by fullbloods and mixed
bloods only, the colored high school
by negroes only.
In the incorporated school districts
whites and Indians attend the same
schools, and race prejudice and undue
feeling on either side are being lost
In fellowship and friendship cultivated
in the class room and on the play
ground. Both sides are better satisfied
in the combined schools than when
they were kept separate. Fullbloods
seem to mingle as freely with white
renters and their families of good
character as they do with mixed
bloodA
OF the 38,5O0 citizens of the Chero-
kee nation the best statistical informa-
ton gives about $500 fullbloods, $500
intermarried whites, 22,800 mixed
bloods and 1900 observation-disclosures
