to make arrangements with the ship
yards for the construction of the Roose-
welt, he called upon Miss Babb and
explained to her in great detail what
he intended to do on his next trip
toward the pole. Invariably any
changes in the itinerary which Miss
Babb made were needed by Peary,
who submitted the revised details to
the Arctic club of North America,
which is financing the forthcoming
trip.
After Peary's second attempt to reach
the pole failed he abandoned the pro-
ject, thinking that 1t would be i'm
possible to get another leave of absence
from the secretary of the navy. Miss
Babb counseled against the resolve,
and. taking the matter in her own
hands, obtained the secretary's consent
for another leave of absence. Then 1T
was that she began to think what
nice journey the voyage would be for
woman to make.

PATRIOTISM IS EXPENSIVE

With a sane Fourth of July and a
growing belief on the part of the elders
that there is not wholesome fun in the
shooting of firecrackers, Angelenos will
nevertheless spend something like $75,-
900 in smoke and noise on Independence
day. That is the estimate placed by
one of the large retail dealers who
makes it a point to gauge the popular
desire in the fireworks line many weeks
before the populace itself does.
This $4,000 does not include the red
lemonade, the peanuts and the popcorn.
which are a part of the great national
holiday just as much as they are of the
circus.
Dozens of small dealers have gone
into business In vacant stores during
the past few days. having fireworks as
their sole stock in trade, who, following
the passing of the Fourth, will fold their
tents as the Arabs and as silently steal
away.
to take the risk of dealing in COM
bustibles along with their other lines
of merchandise, have leased small stores
in different portions of the city, where
as "annexes" the goods are sold.
Every Chinese shop has its full line
Of noise makers which are guaranteed
to be of direct importation from the
Celestial kingdom. In spite of this fact,
however, very large percentage of the
material with which Young America
will show it's patriotism has landed in
Los Angeles in boxes which were of
American make and with trade marks
suspiciously similar to those of the
large eastern fireworks manufactures.
The truth is that today the queue

his American brother In the making OF

"BUILD REDUCTION PLANT"
SAYS NOTED MINING MAN
POINTS OUT ITS ADVANTAGES TO
LOS ANGELES
Says II Would Prove Great Paying In
dustrial investment and Attract
Enormous Business-Suggests San
Pedro as Ideal Location

Col. Thomas Ewing of San Francisco,
for many years first vice president OF
the American Mining congress, and one
of the best informed mining men in the
west, declares that one of the great
est mistakes Los Angeles is making
is in not taking up the building of a
great reduction plant for the ores of
the southwest country.
One of the first to become cognizant
of the mineral resources of the Gold
field district, and a man who has at
his finger tips the mining conditions of
the Pacific coast, Col. Ewing talked
last night at the Angelus as man who
knows whereof he speaks.
"This southwest is a pet of mine,"
he continued, "and 1 have always
fought for it. 1t is great in many
things. 1 hope that a great reduction
plant is in store for it some day in the
not far distant future. Such an enter
prise would be one OF the greatest
paying Industrial investments which
local or other capitalists could make.
Suggests Location
The place for it would be somewhere
along the water front of San Pedro
where there would be easy access by
water and land. The Clark road is
opening up great country and a great
business would come to the enterprise
by the water route from Mexico.
This is saying nothing of the re-
sources of the mountains in the vicin-
ity. One mine in Orange county, oper-
sted largely by Los Angeles capital
and producing 100 tons of ore a day,
is sending it's output to Tacoma, Wash,
for smelling. as are many mines in
Mexico.
1.-THE bankers of Colorado and Utah
realize the benefit of such an insti-
tuition and are ready to loan to the
smelling company from ten to twenty
millions of dollars on the ore in their
bins.
fWhat would a well-equipped reduc-
ton plant cost? I do not believe such
an enterprise should be undertaken
with less than $1.500,0OO to finance it.
That would erect a'plant with capac-
ity ranging between 800 and 1000 tons
of ore q day."

WILL PROVIDES FOR
CIGARS AND VESTS
snecIal to The Herald.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 25.-
When the will of Charlotte u. Sage was
admitted to probate today one of the
most curious clauses ever contained
in a document of this kind was brought
to light. The estate is valued at $3.50
and the will disposes of 1t in this wise:
II bequeath to my beloved sister Qf
she promises to allow my father, Benja-
min f. Sage, of beloved memory. all the
cigars he wants, also all the vests he
likes to wear in the winter) all my per-
scnal and real estate die possessed
of or to which 1 shall be entitled at the
time of my decease."
Inquiry developed the fact that Miss
Sage's father who is an elderly man.
has a fondness for cigars. Some time
ago his eldest daughter refused to allow
him to smoke the usual number on ac-
count of his health. He felt the loss
of tobacco keenly. His fondness for
fancy wiastcoats amounted to hobby.

SAYS "BLACK MAGIC" Is
RELIC OF SUPERSTITION
DR.. McIvor-TyndaII Explains Origin
Of the Theory and
SCOTS at IL

cessful in obtaining standing room in
Blanchard hall last evening when Dr.
Alexander j. McIvor-Tyndall discoursed
on the subject of Magic" answering
magicians?" Preceding the lecture
Arthur Hole rendered "A Vision of the
Eternal City"
Dr. McIvor-Tyndall said in part:
Superstition dies hard. In this age,
which Is unanimously designated as
enlightened" we find much ignorance
and, consequently, superstition in re-
gard to the word occult The word
is harmless enough in itself, merely
signifying hidden or not seen,' and
yet to many it is synonym for all that
is obscure and mysterious and wicked.
Ignorance invests harmless word
with terrible significance. The word
magician is case in point. Origin
ally it was used to signify priest
craft which included spiritual wis
dom and the power Of direct conmuni-
cation with the invisible world of spirit.
I'm ancient times a priest was vene-
rated, not so much because of his SUI
'perior goodness but because of his sup
posed power to communicate with
angels and the Almighty. Persons pos
sessing this supposed power gradually
came to be called magi,' and from the
original meaning of the word we de-
rive our modern application of the word
magician
Naturally as the dense ignorance of
the laity became leavened by education,
much of the knowledge of the priest
hood spread through the masses and the
priests could no longer claim the ex-
elusive right to so-called magical
powers.
"It was then that the term black
magic was invented. Black magic
stood for knowledge held by the people,
and white magic denoted the knowl-
edge of the priesthood The one came
from angels and the other from demons,
but both were acknowledged to be of
supernatural origin.
"Time is annihilated when we see
that the self same ignorance prevails
now as in the time of the ancient
Egyptians, for we find one branch
of metaphysicians accusing another
branch of black magic when they per-
form cures, or otherwise demonstrate
their knowledge of occultism. Evi-
IDENTIFY. then, the black magicians are
those who differ from us In their con-
ception of the origin of power. They
are the other fellow
ut is well to remember that all
power is from the same source-there
can be no other, The direction of that
power determines the result, and the
direction is determined by motive.
Whether the result be constructive or
destructive, the source is the same and
can be neither white nor black"
DR.. McIvor-Tyndall will hold class
meetings on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday afternoons and evenings of this
week at the McIvor-Tyndall institute,
1901 South Grand avenue, giving in
struction in the development and direc-
ton of power. Next Sunday evening
