Deen maQe-1n the process or 1que-
flying air, the discovery of the subtle
and powerful element, radium, and
the application of electricity to send
wireless messages for long distances
through space.
We have all read of these wonder
full discoveries and their economic
application but we understand little
about them. What we don't know
with regard to their discovery, ma
ture and influence we would like to
know. Prof. Patty proposes in his
lecture in the M. E. church next
Tuesday evening to explain these
things by experiment and verbal ex-
preston to the satisfaction of all
who attend his lecture. The lecture
will be worth-more than it costs.

"Seest thou man wise in his
own conceit? There is more hope of
fool than of him." 1t seems that
there were Smart Alexis in Sol
ONION S day, as we'll as at the begin
ming of the goth century of the
Christian era. Job also mentions
several of this species in his time
when he says of them, or to them,
ironically: mo doubt but ye are
the people and wisdom will die
with you" The fellow that thinks
he knows it all is plum full. There
is no further room in his Uranium
for a particle of knowledge. He is
more hopeless than the fool whose
pate is empty.
