One obstacle to the complete enjoyment
here Of the festivities incident to the French
republican holiday, July IA, Is the absence
in the neighborhoed Of New York Of river
available for picnic parties Just as our
German fellow citizens insist on garden
for their patriotic mer7ymaking. as our Irish
fellow citizens demand a grove available
for outdoor athletics, and as our Italian fellow
citizens enjoy street parade in some narrow
thoroughfare, the French residents OF New
York dream of a shady river bank to which
In small parties they may 60 in the Paris
fashion to sing the Marseillaise and extol the
courage Of those who demolished the
Bastie on July IA, 1850.
New York is a city on rivers. Every one
OF the five boroughs has at least one river
bank, but the accessible water front Of New
York Ia devoted to business and not to picnic
purposes, unless We except the modest Bronx,
for which our French fellow citizens have
shown a strong Partially. But at this time
of year the dearth Of water in The Bronx
makes 1t unavailable for large bands Of patri-
otto picnickers.
To day is the anniversary Of the fall Of the
Bastile, and in default OF river the chief
celebration OF the French anniversary will
be held at 0oney Island, swept by ocean
Sreezes.

Although the colleges have been closed
three or four weeks, the troubles Of college
athletes still attract notice. Now, conci-
IDENTIFY with the fight OF CAsTLEMAS. the
Colgate baseball player and track team
captain. against disqualification by the
A. A. u, comes the discussion Of the status
of MATTHEWS, the Harvard baseball player.
This athlete 1t will be remembered, during
the recent furry OF "commercialized
athletics" criticism was held up as the
rare type Of the genuine college amateur
athlete,
Immediately upon being graduated from
Harvard MATTHEWS joined the Burlington
team in the professional league OF Vermont.
Opposition to him among the players Of
that team has brought to focus the charges
that formerly were vaguely whispered
about; and it may yet be seen that he, ths
acclaimed representative of purity in college
sport. was in reality as much animated
by the Commercial spirit as any of his
fellows As MATTHEWS is out OF college
and beyond the reach Of college censure
and punishment, analysis of his case as
sumes an aspect Of utter futility; yet the
case, broadly considered, Is not without
fresh significance
Our colleges simply must take some
definite and decisive action in the premises.
To mention single reason, it is not pleasant
to think how the true amateur sportsmen
Of the English universities must regard
the athletes of our own colleges, who have
certainly at least rendered themselves the
fair object of suspicion. And the one
fact that rises boldly like an immovable
rock above the surface of the troubled
waters is that hypocrisy in our system
must be weeded out, root and branch.
If the rules governing the entire conduct
OF athletes in their college days, vacation
as well as term time, cannot be enforced,
boldly drop them; and, leaving each man
free to 20 his own ways outside the limits
Of the academic year, insist upon strict
government of his actions only as he openly
represents his alma mater,

re.chine children to Cook.

Teaching little girls how to buy and
to prepare simple, wholesome foods Is
a feature Of several schools in New
York's great east side. In the thickly
settled districts of Little Italy or the
Ghetto it is almost invariably the case
that both parents work during the day.
This leaves the oldest girl Of the lit
tie family not only to care for the
baby, but also to prepare the evening
meal.
Imagine little girl of from eight to
twelve years trying to stretch the pen
MES for dinner In the wisest way.
The main object of the schools is to
teach the young students what to buy,
how to convert it into plain, whole
some food, never to waste anything left
over and, above all, how to have some
thing warm and palatable for the tired
father and mother when they come
home at night. If there are no girls
in the family the schools teach the
boys, and many little chefs in the tene-
ments today were turned out by the
cooking classes.-Leslie's Weekly.

Civilized Murder.

After years of residence among the
head hunters of Borneo an English
woman writes of them as follows: Il
don't want to stand up for head hunt
ing; it isn't nice. The civilized nations
call it murder. and it is murder. But
are we to throw stones? Aren't the
means we take to satisfy our unquench-
able thirst for gain murder-tailorlng
shirtmaking, straw plating, lace and
box and nail making and how many
more? Do any of them bear looking
into if we want to feel that, as a coun-
try, we do not murder? Isn't the whole
destruction of body, soul and spirit
which drink and gambling and i'm
morality are carrying on hourly at our
very doors, and inside many Of them,
filling our hospitals and lunatic asy-
lums and graves? Isn't that murder!
And in our murder are any good quail
tiles necessary? None! But fighting
brings out the noblest parts of a saw
age, and in his home life love and con-
tent reign. But civilized murder means
misery and discomfort and homes turn
ed to hades."

ten book on the Chinese, 1.-The first
emperor of the Ming dynasty, A. D.

to God. What confusion he said,
there will be above, what intolerable
annoyance, if you people all call upon

sumo to worship his Father in heaven
he may be punished by Chinese law
with eighty blows, and even with stran-
gulation."
Another traveller in China, Mrs. Dor
othy Gator, brings forward once more
the grim fact that poverty in that
country leads to the commission Of ter
rible crimes. 1.-The Chinese very sci

Mr.. Lang's HaIIucination.

Andrew Lang relates a curious psy-
Geological experience of his own in con-
nection with temporary hallucination.
Il was on the platform of little coun-
try station" he says, when 1 met a
son of the house at which l was going
to stay. He is young man very well
known to me, of a ruddy complexion.
l said, Hello, Jimmy!' or words to that
effect, using the familiar form of his
Christian name, and shook hands with
him.
"a few minutes later 1 saw his ia
Their beside me and remarked that |
had not seen him before. Yes, you
have said the sire, and you called me
Jimmy Now, the father s.four inches
taller than the son (six feet four inches),
is not Of ruddy complexion and, of
course, Is many years older.
yet could have sworn in any court
of justice that l had just spoken to and
shaken hands with Jimmy, who at the
moment was at home, a distance of
nearly a mile away. After this I can
believe anything in the way Of tempo
rary hallucination, negative or posi-
tive"

METALLIC TANTALUM.


1t Supersedes the Diamond as the
Hardest Known Substance.
For centuries the diamond has been
substances. The polish power of dia-
mond dust and the boring power of the
diamond drill are familiar facts. So
is the fact that nothing can polish or
cut diamond except another diamond.
But a new substance has made its APP
pearance which, if it can be obtained
in sufficient quantity, will probably re
place the diamond alike in the opera
lions Of drill boring and in the lapi-
dary's workshop, for it is harder than
diamond-so hard, in fact, that the only
effect produced by a diamond drill
worked day and night for three days
on a sheet of the substance one twenty
fifth of an inch thick, with a speed Of
5000 revolutions per minute, was a
slight dent in the sheet and the wearing
out of the diamond. This substance is
pure metallic tantalum.
Tantalum is not a common metal,
yet it is also not one of the rarest. It's
existence was discovered more than a
century ago, but no attempt to separate
it from its compounds had succeeded
prior to 1908, when Meissan obtained
sample in the electric furnace. The
metal which he isolated was very hard
and brittle, and we now know that 1t
was so much contaminated with car
bon that most of the characteristic
properties of the pure metal had dis
appeared.
Pure taAtalum was first prepared by
DIR. Bolton, member of the famous
electrical engineering firm Of Siemens
Sc Halske One of his methods is to
fuse the double fuoride of potassium
and tantalum with metallic potassium
in an electric furnace in vacuo, but he
seems to prefer much simpler cleo
trical method. Making up the oxide
into a tilament exactly like that of
a Nernst incandescent lamp, he places
it in a globe connected to an air pump
and turns on the current. The oxide
is decomposed, and, the oxygen being
gradually removed by the pump, the
filament is reduced to the metallic
state.
Tantalum differs from all other known
substances in combining extreme hard
ness with extreme ductility. OF it's
hardness we have already given an ex-
ample, so need only add that when red
hot it is easily rolled into bars and
sheets or drawn into wire 1t is scarce
ly affected by the oxygen of the air
even at red heat and not at all at
ordinary temperatures, and the strong
est acids fail to dissolve it. Nor does
it amalgamate with mercury. 1t melts
only at the highest attainable temper
atures and is therefore well fitted to
serve for filaments in incandescent
lamps, being much stronger than car
bon A pound of it will make 10000
lamps, and these require exactly half
as much power to light them as do
carbon filaments giving the same bril-
liancy.
If only it can be procured in sufficient
quantity tantalum should prove a most
useful metal 1t will furnish better
boring tools than the diamond drill
and cheaper electric lights than car
bon, while the possible uses of plate
or wire harder than diamond and yet
tough and strong are almost infinite,
for every other hard substance is brit
tie, and this fact has hampered the en-
gineer for centuries.-New York Her
