TRUTH

of recent work on the phenomena
of radioactivity and the so-called
electrical theory of matter. "Of
course" he admits, every trained
reader knows that in the ultimate an
alysis of things there is nothing in
the universe which is not hypotheti-
cal to any particular individual, ex-
cept the fact of his own conscience
But, HE goes on to say
"Thc ordinary reader will scarcely
understand that in the above state
ments the author is merely denying
the existence of matter in the broad,
metaphysical sense in which the phil
osopher denies the existence of any
external world whatever. He will
rather understand him to be using
language in the sense in which it is
commonly used in books on physical
subjects, and to be tacitly assuming
the existence of an external world
and yet denying the existence oil
Such assertions seem to me to
be particularly fruitful of confusion
of thought in the minds of the I'M
trained, while to the trained they are
devoid of all meaning. For matter
as we ordinarily understand the
term does not involve any particular
hypothesis as to the inner nature OF
the atom. As commonly understood,
matter is merely that something
which POSSESSES the properties of
weight and inertia Its existence is,
therefore, just as real as the exist
ence of these properties. AS investi-
cation goes on, the more properties
which we find ourselves agreed in as
sociating with weight and inertia,
the more definite does our idea Of
matter become.
Thus there is now practical una
nimity in regarding matter as COM
posed of discrete particles, and re-
Gently some evidence has appeared
which makes it plausible at least ia
endow the discrete particles with al
electrical property as well as with
weight in inertia, and it has also been
suggested that the inertia property
may be entirely wrapped up i'll The
electrical property. If further e~'
perimenting should justify this hypo
thesis the term matter would lose
none of its present significance, but
would rather gain additional mean
ing, just as the term light gained
rather than lost in significance wher
Maxwell and Hertz discovered a re-
lation between light and electricity
"The ASSERTION that light is
pure hypothesis, that there is not the
least evidence for it's existence would
be in every respect as warrantable as
the similar assertion regarding mat
ter. Either assertion, I take it, is
completely misleading in popular
writing, even thou there may be some
technical justification for it."

There is something rather appeal
ing In the kindness and thoughtfulness
displayed by Nine. Emma Calye, the
primas donna, In her recent trip across
the Atlantic to begin a concert tour
in this country. The singer noticed
that tAsrs were many storage passen-
gers on the trip and that
there were many children
among them. She thought the
children might enjoy playing with rag
dolls, so the prima donna, who draws
$4,000 night on her concert tours,
set herself to making rag dolls, even
cutting up several of her hats that the
dolls might be gorgeously attired. She
also sacrificed few spare fu1s to
make Teddy bears for the children.

JUSTICE TO THE GROOM.

III mas been often remarked that
groom Is mere figure-head at we'd
ding. OF course, there are cases. such
as the recent affair at Iowa City, when
the failure Of the young man to appear
proved that the groom is indispensable
to the extent that without him no wed
ding can be conducted, but that was
an unusual case
At the ordinary wedding all eyes are
turned on the bride. Not the slightest
detail in ner costume and appearance
goes unobserved, and In the papers
after the wedding there is always a
minute description, Of the brides gown
with 3, few off hand remarks concern
ing her beauty, her social popularity
and her manifold graces. But what
space does the groom get in the we'd
ding write-up? Probably few lines
as to his business connections, Just to
20 to show his ability or inability to
buy new gowns his bride when the
wedding tresseau is worn out.
But there is one paper brave enough
to defy the conventions. The esteemed
Keokuk County News believes that
the appearance of the groom and what
the groom wore is of enough import
ance to be given mention in its col
umns. Madam Grundy to the contrary
Notwithstanding. In referring to the
recent wedding of ]. R. Van Wrinkle
and Mrs. Louise Lyle, two prominent
Keota residents, the News after
stating, that "the bride was attired in
a beautiful travelling gown of brown
silk. with hat and gloves harmonic
ing" gave, this description of the
grooms appearance:
The groom wore dark gray bust
ness suit white shirt, white collar
fastened at the back with bone buzz
ton. at the front with gold button,
white cuffs; blue tie tied in a bow
knot, green suspenders, pink socks and
patent leather shoes. He wore a gold
ring on the third finger of the left
hand and carried white linen hand
kercnief. His hair was parted at the
side and his mustache curled at the
ends. His costume was completed by
a perpetual smile and stiff cady.
1t may be necessary to add that
what is referred to as the "stiff cady"
is more generally known as derby
hat. but otherwise there is nothing
wanting in accuracy or completeness
In describing the appearance of the
groom.
