Liaht From Darkness.

A curious and impressive expert
ment, suggestive Of ancient black art.
Is given in new work by DR.. Gustaye
le Bon. Calcium sulphide paint is APP
piled to a statuette, which is next freed
from all traces of visible phosphores-
renee by several days in absolute dark
ness and is then exposed to the dark
lnfra-red rays from lamp completely
hidden in an opaque box. Though un-
touched by visible rays, the mixture
Of darkness with darkness causes the
Image to flash up almost Instantly and
glow brightly. This Is almost the con-
verse Of Fresnel's experiment Of add
Inc LIGHT to light to produce darkness
through the phenomena of interfer-
ance.

Attachment Prevents Removal OF Mai
Through Slot.
The accompanying engraving illus
trates simple attachment, which may
be placed in letter box to prevent the
letters from being removed through
the letter slot. 1t is particularly adapt
ed for boxes that are secured to the
doors of rooms or apartments or in the
walls of vestibules. Such boxes are
not provided with any safeguards
against sneak thieves, and it is an easy
matter to rob the boxes by means Of
long pins or nippers The attachment
consists Of plate mounted within the
box and journaled in brackets secured
to the sides of the box.
The plate, which for convenience is
formed of two leaves, one slidable
upon the other, so that it may be

A Common Delinquent.

The dean of normal college, In a
talk before the student body, was de-
ploring the practice common among
children of getting help in their les
sons and the tendency of parents to
give it too generously. AS an illustra-
ton he told the following incident:
The mother of a small pupil in a
Chicago school had struggled through
the problems assigned for the child's
next lesson and had finally obtained
what appeared to be satisfactory re-
suits. The next day. when the little
girl returned from school, the mother
inquired with some curiosity
"Were your problems correct, dear"
mo, mamma" replied the child.
''They were all wrong"
"All wrOngY repeated the amazed
parent ooh, I'm so sorryw
ssWell mamma, you don't need to be
sorry" was the reply. "All the other
mammas had theirs wrong too"
Dorothy's mother found her with an
alarm clock on her foot and the alarm
set for o'clock.
well, for goodness sake, Dorothy,
what mischief are you up to now?"

chief, but my fOOt's asleep, and / want

Gambling Machines.

Excellent results have been scored in
the beginning Of the crusade against the
gambling machines that have been lately
placed around Washington to catch the
pennies of the children. BY the imposi-
ton Of fines upon the men first taken into
custody for having these machines in their
stores attention Is called emphatically to
the fact that the law embraces mechan-
icai devices for gambling as well as
horse racing and other forms of betting.
1t is stated that perhaps with the assist
ance of these first victims OF the law the
authorities can punish the man who intro
duced the machines into this city. He is
the real culprit and II he can be appre-
hended and punished the evil will prac-
tically be eliminated.
The other day In New York 1t was dis
covered that these slot gambling machines
were displayed all over the city, under the
protection of a group of powerful Tam
many leaders. When store keepers, on
being approached by agents. raised the
question Of the legality OF these machines,
they were told that 1t would be only nee
essary to call the attention Of the police
to the names conspicuously placarded on
the devices. The protection OF these poll
ticians did not prove sufficient, however,
when the matter was brought to a head
and arrests were made. and the statement
has been printed that the men who con-
scented TO the introduction Of the ma
chimes into their stores were left to suffer
the penalties of the law by the principals
who got them into the trouble.
Fortunately. there 10 no suggestion here

Democracy and Bryanism.

The other day The Star pointed to Mr..
W. f. Gonzales, editor of the Column ia,
5. c.. State, and Gen. S. B. Buckner Of
Kentucky as representative southern
democrats differing widely with each
other as TO duty in this campaign. Mr..
Gonzales thinks that northern democrats
who do not accept Organism should yet
accept Mr.. Bryan himself. and charges
a lack of moral courage on such as con-
tinue 10 reject him. Gen. Buckner thinks
that southern democrats who reject Bry-
anism should also reject Mr.. Bryan, and
charges a lack OF moral courage on such
as this year are supporting him. 1t Is
a very interesting discussion. and for
The Stars part it could hope to hear
more from both men on the subject
Says Mr. Gonzales in his newspaper:
win The Star tell us to what princi-
pies Gen Buckner Is holding? He was
candidate on an independent ticket in
1896 and he is supporting Roosevelt
candidate and, so. Roosevelts platform
in 1905 He Is supporting the party OF
protection, the party of trusts. the party
of Imperialism. the party OF expansion:
the party of the big stick. the party OF
special privileges and unjust taxation
the party of money aristocracy. Can Gen
Buckner find democratic principle
there?

Night Riders.

A dispatch from Union City. Tenn,
gives this information:
Gov. Patterson received today a COM
munication from the board Of directors
of the national cotton convention, which
is to be held in Memphis November 10.
asking him to call a conference Of the
governors of the southern states for one
day during the convention. the purpose
of the convention being to discuss the
night rider situation throughout the
south and to adopt means to bring it to
an end"
Gov. Patterson should accede to this
request. The subject Is of the highest
Importance to the whole south, and in
fact to the country, and cannot be too
soon considered by the authorities The
vigor with which he is rounding up the
night riders in his own state is most
creditable to the Governor of Tennessee,
and would make an address by him to
the conference suggested Of inspiring
value. Lawlessness, unless heroically
dealt with. spreads like prairie fire.

racy He IL ashamed of the company OF
his new associates; yet has not the moral
courage to return where he viii feel at
home. He IL alone. because his follow
ers for brief season have seen the error
of their ways. and have gone back TO the
abode of true democracy
Gen. Buckner can state his case much
more ably and clearly than The Star
could hope to do. In fact. in a recent let.
ter to a friend In Missouri, who had
asked for light on the subject. the ven
cradle Kentuekian did state 1t at length,
and in very striking terms. He has al
ways had reasons for the faith that was
in him. and has his reasons now.
But does 1t not occur to Mr.. Gonzales
that the republican party Of today is sub
stantially the same party which the gold
democrats indirectly supported in 1895 and
directly in 1900? In the former year there
stood the issues of sound money, protec-
ton and the regulation of the trusts. AS
between republicanism and Organism Mr.
Cleveland and his friends gave their SYM
pathy and support to republicanism.
They chose, as they thought, between
evils. and, following the great Injunction,
picked what appeared to them the lesser.
BY 1900 the questions of expansion and

then had always been the party of ex-
pansion. A Jeffersonian shying at that
policy? AS for Imperialism. had not dem
ocrats as well as republicans fought the
war with Spain? Did not South Caro-
lima do her full share toward making our
course as to the Philippines Imperative.
both on the score of pride and of duty?
Stated as a single. simple proposition,
would South Carolina today vote for scut-
tie? The Star would hate to believe 1t.
So why should Gen. Buckner be uncom-
Portable in his present position? He has
occupied it for twelve years. In that
time Organism has taken on the Issues of
anti-expansion, or scuttle, government
ownership of railroads. the initiative and
referendum and the guarantee of bank
deposits. Does Mr.. Gonzales find any
thing democratic in any OF these? Gen.
Buckner does not. They are as repug-
nant to him as was Is to I. He is judg-
ing Mr.. Bryan not so much by what the
candidate under pressure Is saying for
votes now as by what he is known from
his own confessions to favor.
1t is, of course. a campaign extrava-
gance to say that Gen. Buckner is
ashamed of his company. How could
any man be ashamed of the leadership of
William H. Taft?

The Bread Law Invalid.

II Judge Kimbalfs decision that the
corporation law Of 1858 regulating the
size of the loaf of bread in the District
of Columbia Is invalid Is sustained by the
upper courts when the District au-
thorittes take an appeal, 1t will be neces-
sary to secure from Congress substitute
for the annulled statute. The decision
just rendered declares the law uncon-
stitutional on the ground that 1t interferes
with the right of q baker to contract
for the sale of his product inasmuch
as 1t prohibits him from making loaf
of bread Weighing more than eighteen
ounces, while at the same time it pro-
hibits the baking of q loaf of less than
sixteen ounces. Were no maximum limit
prescribed, Judge Kimball remarks, the
law must stand. 1t is plain that 1t is
within the function of a law-making
body to prescribe a minimum limit in
order to prevent the defrauding Of the
consumer and 1t is equally plain that
no advantage is gained by the prescrip-
tion OF maximum. 1t Is to the ad-
vantage of the consumer IL the baker
competes for trade by offering larger
loaves.
The announcement is made on behalf
Of the local bakers who have brought
this test case to trial chat they will
not take advantage Of the decision by
baking smaller leaves than the standard
In vogue so many years unless compelled
to do SO by the exigencies of the mar
ket With all due RESPECT to the bakers,
1t may he suggested that nevertheless the
consumer of bread will be more surely
protected II law that will withstand
the scrutiny of the courts is secured
Commissioners are wise in deciding to move
in this matter Immediately upon the open
ing Of the session without waiting for
the result of an appeal to the upper
court, for the chances of a reversal are
not SO great that they will be justified
In waiting until all chance Of enforcing
the present law Is exhausted before NOV
ing to secure a new one.
Such a law is needed to protect the
consumer of bread, not from the honest
but from the dishonest baker. The men
who have taken this case into court
cannot guarantee the public against the
production of short-weight loaves. The
great majority Of consumers have no
means of testing the loaves and with the
law under suspension it is inevitable that
many loaves should be sold considerably
to the consumer. A law regulating the
weight of bread is a necessity and the
sooner one is secured that will without
doubt meet the test of the courts the
better for the community.
