Congressman LIQUIDS powers Of COM

The other Is that an Atlantic Coast ship

the Atlantic yards charge so very much
more for practically the same type Of

What Bursts Balloons.

From Engineer.
he examined the envelope of a balloon
which burst at the international exhibit
tiOn at Milan in 1906 A number of spots
were visible on the envelope. and at these
places the material could be easily torn.
whereas at other parts it showed great
resistance TO tearing. These spots were
found to have been caused by phos-
phoric and arsenic acids, produced by
oxidation from arseniuretted and phos-
phoretted hydrogen contained in the ny
drogen gas The presence of these i'm
purites is due TO the use of impure ma
terials in the preparation of the hydro
gen, and the author recommends that the
preparation of the gas for filing balloons
should be under strict chemical control.

WHAT PRAGMATISM is.
The New Philosophical Attitude
Toward Truth

ron the Boston Transcript.
The central principle OF ''Pragmatism'
is that everything is in doubt till It is
tried and can be judged only by its fruits
by its "Ysh value"
Il IS in France and italy that the great
est sensation has been created by the
advent Of the teachings Of the new
school which is freely credited by all na-
tons, too, to England and America. At
present it appears 10 be going through
the first stage Of all new ideas-ridicule.
but evidently the interest Of the most in
telligent is very deeply engaged. for all
that II is regarded as a natural and al
most inevitable expression and develop
ment Of the genius of race Of the English
and the American peoples-their in
stincts, needs and deeper convictions. The
French recognize in it an Anglo-Saxon
reaction against the Latin intellectualism
and rationalism Clarity and lucidity are
not for us. IL seems, as for the French.
They think that We believe in our inmOst
souls that all the problems Of metaphy-
sizes are insOluble. that If you try 10 clear
them up by reasoning upon them you
only get deeper into the shadows-that
the very language of philosophy is blind
and incOmprehensible and that its terms
cannot be defined. Hence comes our ag-
Mysticism with every man drawing his
own conclusions from his own point of
view Hence there can be no general
measure Of truth-Only relative truths aC-
cording to individual experience.
Mr. Frederic Harrison, the great apostle
of positiyism in England is being con-
graduated apropos of his new book, The
Philosophy Of Common Sense" on the
way his two prime preachments have
stood the rack Of twenty-five years, dur
ing which pretty nearly everything else
has become antiquated. The evolutionary
theory and the comparative methods APP
piled not only to languages and customs,
but even to the most intimate operations
of religion, are still In use by the most
enlightened
The new philosophy Of Pragmatism
might apply its tests to positivism and
find its vulnerable point in its basing
itself upon a perfected man. 1t might
theTeupOn insist that il is still better

4 Discriminating Prayer.

For several weeks. little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony. the
property of a horse dealer who was a
friend of the family. But, much 10
Ralphs sorrow, there came a day re-
Gently when the pony was sold. and the
delightful horseback rides came to a sud
den end. The purchaser, as Ralph found
cut by inquiry. was a little girl of about
his own mature age of life. Ever since
his acquaintance with the pony began.
Ralph, had included him in his bedtime
prayer, and God bless the pony" was
an earnest nightly petition The first
evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph
hesitated when he reached his pets place
in the prayer Then after q moments
thought he continued:
Please, God. bless the pony just the
same; but, God don't you bless the little
girl what's got the pony"

A Parable for the Times.

From Puck.
Once there was a man who bought a
beautiful gold brick for which he paid
the sum of SO or SIS, although It looked
exactly as if it were worth ten or fifteen
thousand.
Then he took it home, and opening his
ledger. made an entry which materially
sweled his assets.
Then he mortgaged his home and
bought an automobile and a season ticket
for the opera and gave a large dinner at
Sherry's And why should he not, for
was he not rich man, and could he not
PROVE it by his ledger2
And then one day it occurred TO him TO
examine his gold brick a little more
closely. Whereupon he found that IL was
worth only 10 or u cents.
He lost confidence Immediately. and the
effort he made to get rid of the brick
brought on a severe panic.
