Prof. Frederick Soddy of Glasgow
University holds the theory that gold
Is gradually disintegrating into other
materials. He has visited the gold de.
posts OF western Australia and New
Zealand and he expresses his conyic-
ton that In all probability gold, like
radium, Is at once the product of some
other parent element and is itself
changing to produce Offspring, Gle.

AFTER several years experimenting,
olhcers OF the pennsylvania Railway
nave come to the conclusion that di.
rectiy behind locomotive is bad
place for sleepers or any other cars
Whlch are used by passengers. For
this reason an order has been issued
'hat in all instances a baggage car,
wnether the car is needed for baggage
purposes or not, must be the first car
Oh the train.' This Is the first official
acknowledgment from a railway COM
pany that the middle of train Is the
safest place to ride. Recent accidents
have convinced many railway men that
not only the front end of passenger
trains, but also the rear, should be pro-
tected by baggage car, whether used
or not.
The gigantic animals - a.
age OF reptiles, whose remains are es-
pecially abundant in some OF the lands
bordering the Rocky Mountains, appeal
SO powerfully to the Imagination that
an exaggerated notion of their size and
weight Is frequently entertained. 1t
has more than once been pointed out
that, as far as paleontology shows, the
earth never contained more bulky crea.
lures than the whales of to-day. A
recent comparison between the probable
weight of the huge Bronrosaurus ex.
celsis. skeleton of which Is in the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York, and that of large sulphur
bottom whale. strengthens this state
ment. After prolonged study of the
probable contours of the animal when

that 1t weighed about 80 tons. This Ia
surely an immense weight, but the

I took her wee, helpless babe, from
our dying widowed mothers arms,
and gave that mother my solemn
promise to make the child my sacred
care while life lasted.
Only In one way can my last hours
on earth be smoothed of the intoler-
able dread for her future which now
Expresses them, and SO have courage
to throw myself upon your mercy-to
ask you to make me this night your
wife, thus giving me the power to pro-
vide by will for my sisters future,
and then to go far away from here
until life shall have ended for me and
you are freed from the shadow Of n
bond that will have existed only in
name. 1t will be for such little
time"
He wonders vaguely to himself be-
ing SO much moved, but with a strong
effort gathers his faculties and SAYS
slowly, but With great earnestness:
"I will do all you ask. 1t will not
be for long, but, please God, this good
action shall bear its fruits of right.

1t was strange betrothal; but mar
rage there was, and as Clinton Ca
lorme went out at last alone through
the dewy, fragrant garden path, a
woman's kiss burned upon his Inns.
and faint passionate whisper thrilled
upon the night air-the strangest of
all whispers to come throbbing up
from this mans heart, and yet it came
softly, reverently and humDly tender,
my wife"
Five years passed and Clinton Ca.
lorme was still wanderer over the
face of the earth.
Once only in all this time he had
heard from the woman whose lips he
had once kissed in solemn acknowl.
edgment of n VOW the letter OF which
alone had been asked of him, leaving
the spirit all unpledged, and that once
the Paris physician had written him:
1.-THE case is not hopeless" And re-
ceiving this he had gone his ways
out Of civilization into the wilds of
Africa and far Arabia until there
came day on which he steadily set
his face homeward.
y At the little questionable bathing
resort he comes to halt 1t is noon
day, but he takes his breakfast, and
then walks down the pebbly beach.
There are human sights and sounds
all about him, but Calorme sees or
hears nothing of it until the voice of a
woman's quoting, dreamily and low,

1t is she -his wife! His lips tell II
again to the winds in softest whisper
He sees the sun CLEAN upon the siE
yer-white crown. He knows that
some sweet thought is mirrored in the
holy eyes looking seward. He marks
that the white hands are no longer
thin and wasted, and that there is q
delicate flush creeping from the soft
cheek to the "crimson tippit' ear, and
then he walks across the sands, and
says:

Nine Weeks Of Travel Across the

Small Sum.

There is only one unforgetable va
edtion-a trip 10 England. through
England, and home again. says Coun-
ny Life In America. Nine weeks OF
travel can be had for si25. and this
easy price includes the full expenses
OF both ocean voyages. Bicycle clothes
and flannel shirts make up one prop

with long trousers is equally service
able. The luggage for walking Will
be carried in cloth-covered india rub
Der knapsack This Is light. portable,
and rainproof. II the traveller makes
his way by bicycle, he should nearly
hmit his luggage TO the dimensions Of
a diamond frame case. The slight
overflow will be made into a thin bun
die strapped to the handle bars. or to
the frame behind the saddle. A
stripped" wheel is essential, guard
and bell and brake being OF the light
est. The ocean trip is made In the
second cabin of one OF the lines plying
between New York and Glasgow-the
cost is $50 single and $50 for the round
trip. Tho food is not poor. and there
ia abundance of deck room. The time
from dock to dock is ten and one-halt
days. so the total time on water is q
days, and on land six weeks.
