nocently supposed that to men with ath

would be like taking candy from a baby.
So asked the manager how he saved
the house from goodly percentage OF
chaps we meet in the world taking more
than was coming to them.
There are men,. he responded. who
would come in here every day year in

and never pay cent, and still sleep
well at night, but I am glad to say, for
the sake of my fellows, that they are the

The American sprung the joke as effec-

Cereal Rubber.
From the Boston Transcript.

The cereal rubber of William Threllfall
Carr, an English inventor, was suggested
by the Observation-Disclosures to country boys
that the chewing of wheat grains produces
a sticky, gummy mass. Experiment shows
that the ptyalin of the saliva acts as a fer
ment, and combines with starch to form
dextrose, w&ich special treatment converts
into rubber The ptyalin of saliva is found
to be essential, but this has been obtained
in remarkable quantity from hogs Differ
ent kinds of ruber result from arrestfng the
fermentation, and the six grades so far pro-
duced are designed for waterproofing, tubes
and other flexible material. tires, floor COW
erings, paving and golf balls. Unlike other
rubber substitutes this can be vulcanized or,
hardened by sulphur.

Innuendo.

From the London Chronicle.

"Innuendo," in which, as Mr.. Asquith
forcibly said Tuesday, certain newspapers
have been recklessly INDUCING with regard
to the imperial conference, Is a word that
the law has given to everyday language
Legally an "innuendo'' was an averment
made by the plaintiff in libel action put
he detected in an insinuation published by
the defendant. 1t Is an Interesting word
as the ablative case of a Latin gerund
that has become common English noun
substantive Another Latin ablative with
a similar modern history is "folio,'' which
literally means ION page so-and-so. Our
language absorbs all cases in this fashion
at its pleasure. We have quorum {geni-

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send any biblical ques-
ton to Dr. Gilbert, 1903 R street northwest,
and receive answer in The Star.
262 What is the philosophical system Of
the Bible?
Answer Strictly speaking, there is no
philosophical system in the Bible; that is,
there Is no orderly outlining OF principles,
that, built together constitute q scheme
of thought. Nevertheless, there pervades
the book from beginning to end what is
known as dualism-a recognition Of two
entities-matter and spirit-in opposition to
materialism. monism, spiritualism and ideal
ism. There Is no. indication that any bib
lical writer supposed that any would ques-
ton his dualism, although it was arrayed
against the PHILOSOPHERS OF the ancient
world. 1t Is probable that this fact has had
a large influence in rendering the Bible
popular For whatever may be the specu
iations Of the learned, the common people
universally think Of the universe under two
heads, matter and spirit Hence, biblical
language fits in with popular thought.

Even traditional friendship will

ST 600 REWARD OFFERED
TO CONVICT MURDERERS
Proprietor Of Aberdeen Dance Hall
Joins With Other Citizens to
Clear Up Mysterious Killings

ABERDEEN, Thursday, June g.
Billy" Mcdonald, one of the propri-
etors of the largest of this city's
ward of $500 in gold for any posi-
tive proof that knockout drops or
any other drug had been dispensed
in any Aberdeen bar visited by the
men whose bodies have recently
been found floating in the waters
about this city. and a further reward
of $1,000 for the arrest and convic-
tion of the person or persons using
the same.
This offer is but one instance of
many that show the extent to which
the city has been stirred by the re-
cent tragedies revealed by the float
ing bodies found along the water
front. When a committee soliciting
funds for the Fourth of July celebra-
ton called upon Mcdonald today he
subscribed $50 in addition to the
amount he was asked for, stipulat-
ing that the extra money be used as
a nucleus for fund to provide special
patrolmen for the wharves during
the four days and nights of the cele-
bration.
The desire to thoroughly sift the
mysteries of the dead bodies is not
confined to the managers of the ten
derlOin resorts alone, but is express
ed by all classes. Mayor Eugene
France declared today that the
wharf at the foot of Heron street
would be fenced and that the ends of
such other streets as now present d
menace to public safety would be
closed.
