but what is no-money? No-1noney? No
money?
"No-money is thing of which all pockets are
full.
"No-money is the aibi of being which should
testify to presence in this world
"No-money is gentle invitation of nature to
incur debts and peremptory command not to
pay them
'No-money is irresistible inclination to melan-
choly on the part of our purse caused by hopeless
love to unattainable object.
"No-money is exposition of no money at all,
a proposition in abstract philosophy, fit position
for a minister of finance, and happy disposition
for platonic love
"No-money is a vulgar ballad which common
people sing aloud on the streets but the more re-
fined only hum between their lips within DOORS
No-money is the watchword of extreme radi-
calisrn, and the art of making oneself popular at
a low price"
In Concerning Coat" Saphr writes:
There coat artists in the world, men who
have so long hung their coat according to the wind
that the order has become reversed and the coat
hangs its in the wind The expression Den

ones coat according to the wind is altogether
improper. 1t ought to read as follows: One should
hang his coat in the wind to see where the wind
blows, and then hang himself according to the
wind. The coat must be stronger than the man;
otherwise the coat would remain hanging accord

is meant by the proverb One must hang ones

The definition of life which I should accept is:

A living thing is unstable dynamical aggregate

These points distinguish the products of radium

mind to indicate that they not crystals while

at issue. The peptones are soluble in water, and
do not coagulate by heat and thus differ from other

other hand may be rendered soluble by the action
of pepsin fernents enzyms, which convert such
proteids into peptones Radiurn may convert in
soluble proteids in soluble peptones under the
action of water the point being that there is no

form of life hitherto undiscovered should be in

is twenty-three years DID, says he is an
artist and that he formerly worked as a
newspaper man in this city.
According to the story which he told the
police, Mrs. Larned had been ill for sew
eral days and yesterday appeared to be in
particularly low spirits. During the after
noon she asked the maid, Annie Miller,
for a glass of claret and soon after drink
Ing the beverage became very drowsy and
went to bed. She slept heavily all the af-
ternoon and evening and when she showed
no sign of awakening before midnight the
husband says he became alarmed and called
a physician. Three other physicians later
were summoned and worked over the wo-
man for hours, but despite all their eff
forts she died without regaining conscious
ness.
Two bottles containing carbolic acid were
found by the physicians on a stand near
the bed. One of the bottles was nearly
empty. Stories told by the husband and
maid confiicted, according to the police and
both he and the girl were held pending
further Investigation.
Mrs. Larned was formerly a resident of

1t was reported that the demands of the
union, providing a per cent increase In
wages and exclusive employment of union
workmen, had been agreed to by eighty
nine firms, giving employment to 200 men.
In the remaining factories, employing
