How tho Investigation Beoan.

CATION Of the insurance companies had
1t not been for the recent disclosures
made by David Ferguson, a reporter
Tor the New York World. who began
by p%rodding the officers of the Equira-
Die about James Hazen Hyde's Cambon
dinner and other evidences of ruinous
waste.
At the outset Ferguson was laughed
at by h men he approached. Hyde
Alexander, the two heads OF the
Equitable, denied everything, denied
that there was any fractional uprising
IN h Equitable. or the slightest un-
rtendliness between Mr.. Hyde and Mr..
Alexander. But the reporter kept on
Prodding and digging patiently until
ne gained the confidence OF someone
on the inside whose name viii prob
ably never be known.
From that time on Ferguson had the
situation In his own hands. and what
followed is thoroughly known to the
American public today. having resulted
IN the greatest %upheaval ever known
an the history OF American finance.
Compelled, by the persistent reyeIa-
lions Ferguson was making, to under
take an investigation. Francis Hen
bricks. superintendent of insurance for
n state OF New York. filed away a
lengthy document containing the testi-
'fnony ne q taken. and II remained
for Louis Seibold. another World re-
porter, to procure a copy OF this secret.
report. which made the longest story
ever run" in a newspaper about a
single inctdent-112, 900 words.
III Is still q matter of keenest specula-
ton among the newspaper men OF New
York how Sefbold obtained possession
OF q state document. and 1t will be.
probably, a mystery forever. Report
'ers OF Setbold's type never betray con-
ndence. Were the secrets of Messrs.
n Seibold known concern
ing the great insurance exposure thew
would, undoubtedly. make good read
ing, but these men made pledges Of
for the public good. and Il
GOES without saying that those pledges
gill die with them.

Why Foam Ia White,

The question as to why all foam is
white is not an easy one to understand;
but the fact is that foam is always white,
whatever may be the color of the liquid
itself. The froth produced on a bottle
of the blacklist Ink is white, and would
be perfectly so were 1t not tinged to a
certain extent by particles of the LIQUID
which the bubbles hold In mechanical sus-
pension.
AS to the cause Of his whiteness, 1t is
sufficient to say hat 1t IS due to the
large number of rejecting surface1
formed by the foam, for 1t Is these sur
faces. which, by rejecting the light, pro-
duce upon our eyes The impression OF
white.
II we remember that all bodies owe
their colors. to the rays of light which
they cannot absorb, and all bodies which
reflect all the light they receive. without
absorbing any. appear perfectly white,
we shall be prepared to understand how
the multitude of rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam, and which do not
absorb any light, must necessarily give
the froth a white appearance. 1t is for
the same reason that any veryMfne pow
ded appears white. even the blackest mar

When my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him, and in our de-
spair we went to a third one. Matters
became so bad hat he had regular
holes in his cheeks, large enough to put
a hnger into. The food had to be Civ

covered with crusts as thick as a fin
gel, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body, was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
whenever he was laid in. his bed, we
mad to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. I think his face must
nave itched most %fearfully.
We finally thought nothing could
help, and I had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to, Eu-
rope. hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,

Scandal in Port Huron.

The late Jed" Spalding OF MichiEan
who weighed $50 pounds and stood 8 feet :
inches in his socks, was one of the hest
jokers IN the state. He had a brother-in-
law in politics. whom he did not like very
well and once vigorously opposed his can
didacy for mayor of Port Huron. Mich
One day while the campaign was at its
height the ministers of the CITY held a
meeting to decide which candidate 70
support. Jed happened to meet one of tha
pastors on the way to the meeting This
preacher was an aged Scptchman and
somewhat hard of hearing. He told Spald-
ing that he would do all he could to pre-
vent the brot~her-in-law's Endorsement and
asked Tor a pointer or two for a speech.
SpaldinS, ever ready for a Joke. saw hIa
chance, and, pulling the pastor aside
shoutnd in his ear:
My Drother-in-law is living with an.
other mans sister"
You don't tell me- the pastor sa,d
and ne hurried off to the meeting to spread
the news among the ministers. He got
the platform Immediately and said:
fIhe democratic candidate Is a most
wicked wretch. He Is living with anothar
mans sister. | have the word of fia
brother-in-law. Jed Spalding, for it,"
Immediately the meeting was In an I'm
roar. Tho mention Of Jed Spaldinp T..
enough. The laughter became tIml,toms
but the pastor didn't notice the mistake
he had made until told that Jed snaldine
himself was the other man.
