several fingers, Joe Gilligan, eighteen
years old, swan to the rescue Of two
boys in the gravel pit pond, Morris
Plains, N. J., and saved their lives the
other afternoon.
Alexander Patterson and Augustus
Monahan, twelve years old each, were
in an old boat on the little pond near
the LackaWanna railroad tracks at
Morris Plains. The pond is about ten
feet deep at its greatest depth, and it
was at this point the boys upset the
boat while playing. Patterson could not
swim. and he clasped Monahan around
the neck. Before he was dragged IN
der Monahan cried Justify for help.
Gilligan was sitting with other boys
under the shade of a tree, but out of
sight of the pond. He had been show
ing his friends the artificial limbs his
parents had procured to ease his af-
fictions He had unstrapped the limbs
when he heard the cry for help. Not
stopping to put them on, for in the
years he had been without them he
had learned to run on his stumps of
legs and his one good arm, Gilligan
hustled to the pond, crying:
Hold fast! I'm comingi"
Plunging in, he swan to the spot
where the boys were struggling, grasp
ed the two lads and pushed them
apart. He then swan with one hand

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
Ne See Only the Outer Shells Of the
Great Blazing Orb.

2
Great Blazing Orb.
The great ball of fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun. a series Of
concentric shells enYelops nucleus of
which we know absolutely nothing e1-
cept that it must be almost infinitely
hotter than the dercest furnace and
that it must amount to more than nine
tenths Of the solar mass.
That nucleus is the real sun, forever
hidden from us. The outermost of the
enveloping shells is about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chromosphere.
It is a gaseous fluid, tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furi-
ously active that it spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas (prominencesl
to the height of thousands of miles.
Time was when this agitated sea of
crimson fire could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special in
struments are used which enable as
tronomers to study it in the full glare
of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond
the prominences even, lies the nebulous
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments Of a total eclipse,
in century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex-
planned how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the promi-
nences and the corona is supported
without falling back into the sun un-
der the pull Of solar gravitation. Now
that Arrhenius has cosmically applied
the effects of light pressure solution
is presented
How difficult it is to account for
! such delicate streamers as the promi-
nences on the sun is better compre-
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful Is the grip of
solar gravitation.
If the sun were a habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to it's
surface, you would find yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitation that
you would weigh two tons, assuming
! that you are an ordinary human being.
Your clOInlng alone WOuld weigh
more than hundred pounds. Baseball
, could be played In solar drawing
room, for there would be some diff
Guilty in throwing ball more than
thirty feet.
/ Tennis would be degraded to form
Of outdoor pingpong.
From these considerations it is plain
that gravitation on the sun would tend
to prevent the formation of any lam
bent streamers and to pull down to its
surface masses Of any size-Harper's

Flower With No Menace on Its Stem
Is Grown by Seattle Woman.
Holland is credited with having pro-
duced the first black tulip, but it re-
NAMED for Seattle to produce the
thornless rose. Such a prodigy was
plucked from the garden of Mrs. W.
J. Beggs at Thirty eighth avenue and
East Union street, Madrona heights.
The flower has the perfume of the
sweetest rose, but the stem can be
handled by persons who have the ten
derest flesh
Mrs. Beggs lived for years near the
home of Luther Burbank, the mature
magician" of California. She studied
his methods and made up her mind
that she would accomplish what he so
far had not been able to do.
Mrs. Beggs says she has secret all
her own Of training the rosebush so
that 1t will bring forth beauty and
loneliness without the hitherto inevita-
BILE menacing thorn. Some day, how
ever, she promises to take the world
into her confidence, and the thorn will
be relegated to obscurity.
II am not positively certain that
have yet succeeded in producing the
thornless rose" said Mrs. Beggs, $50
I will not boast Of my accomplish
ment This may be an accident, and
my system may not work always, so
I must defer making it known until I
am quite sure"

clauses providing for the extradition of
emigrants, deserters, criminals and
skilled workmen. This treaty was

THE BIRD CLOWN.
A Queer Kind Of Fellow Is the Yellow
Breasted Chat.

The oddities of the yellow breasted
chat begin even with his classification
To think of a warbler the size Of
Baltimore oriole, warbler with
song like a hooking bird! Indeed.
there is little about the chat that is
not remarkable. He goes in for the
weird and the spectacular. If Nature
designed him to show what she could
do in the way Of the unusual and the
eccentric, she had remarkable success.
This bird and not the catbird is the
real "clown of the woods" Clown Of
the thicket would be more apt, for, like
the catbird, he prefers the shrub and
lower trees. a wild tangle of briers
and vines is a fayorite haunt, It is
only the better to survey such re-
treat that he mounts to the top OF a
tree. From his lofty perch he sings,
to the amazement and bewlderment
Of the person that hears the song for
the first time. More likely than not
he will become invisible and silent
upon the first attempt to approach
him, remaining quiet and hidden till
you move on again; then he chuckles
loudly and scolds and splits and SCOTS
till you are out Of sight and hearing. :
No bird is so fearful Of being seen
or such a master Of hide and seek. It
is worse than useless to try to steal
march on him. He manages to be al
ways on the wrong side of the next
bush. II you should find his nest,
which is pretty little basket of straws
and weed stalks lined with fine grasses
and strips Of soft bark or leaves placed
foot or more above the ground among
tall weeds or bushes, the sitting bird
steals away and is at once lost to
sight. Take a peep at the white, red
speckled eggs and then hide among
the bushes as far away from the nest
as you can while still keeping it in
sight. You may have to wait for an
hour and even make other trips to the
spot, but this is the surest way to get
a good look at this shy one,-St. Mich
olas.

The United States Leading the World.
Great Britain's production of coal in
1907 was 267, S28,276 long tons, or $780,
969,669 short tons, and Great Britain is
the second coal producing country of
the world. The coal production of the
United States in 1907 exceeded by $780,
4SO.373 short tons, or more than go per
cent, that of the British isles. It was
more than double that of Germany and
was equal to 40 per cent of the total
coal production of the world.

The moving spirit lives,
And from its strength in him
A stronger spirit gives

And strong and wise and still
At its beginning. would have wrought
The nation i'll.
His head. his heart, his hands,
Were firm in right.
He heard no crazed demands,
AS well he might,
And while in darkness others CROPPED
He saw the light,
The great white light that stood
AS beacon to the future good.
Condemned he met abuse,
And, silent through it all,
He waited. standing like wall
Between the condemnation
And his duty's call.
The years have gone,
The true, all proving years,
And now a nations tears
Have washed away the ban,
And he is honored full

How the Great Snowman Turned His
Death to Account.
Among the features of the parades
Of the Barnum circus there was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top of one Of the
wild beast cages lay an enormous lion.
He was not confined in any way, and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and con-
template the terrible possibility Of the
lion springing into the midst of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king Of beasts
had reached the leonine dotage, and
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and in the winter

robbery upon the face of the globe
II. Both the consumption of alcoholic liquors
and the drink bill of the American people
appalngly upon the increase, infalliby pointing
to the growth of national corruption and decay
and the increase of all evils of ntemperance.
III. This growth of the drink traffic and the
drink bill has taken place coincident with large
growth of local Prohibition territory, clearly in
dcating that the adoption of local Prohibition
by towns and counties, and even the adoption Of
state Prohibition by states that lie remote from
the centers of population and influence, does not
in any way offset the growth of the organized
liquor business in the great metropolitan centers,
where both the consumption of drink and the
evils that come therefrom are enormously upon
the increase.
We have not yet begun to get the kind of
Prohibition that will cope with the drink evil

facts support his contention.

act amounts made, but must agree with the
moneys turned in to the United States Treasury
as revenue for their manufacture This prevents
the possibility of fraud misrepresentation con-
corning these items.
The United States government also publishes
a work entitled Monthly Summary of Commerce
and Finance of the United States" In the June
number of this Summary may be found the
statement of all imports which enter the United
States during the fiscal year. These, again, cor
respond to revenues paid, precludng the posi-
bty of serious discrepancy between the statistics
and the facts to which they relate
The United States government still further
publishes every year volume entitled Statistical
Abstract of the United States" in which there
appears annually statement of the consumption
of Intoxicating liquors. This statement is COM
piled under three general heads Distilled
Spirits" "Wines" and malt Liquors" The head
of distilled spirits is divided under three heads;
Domestic spirits distilled from fruits domestic
spirits distilled from other materials and spirits
imported for consumption. The Internal Revenue
Bureau and the Department of Commerce furnish
accurate figures for these.
The head "Wines" is subdivided into "domes-
tic and imported" wines. The amount of wines
imported is learned from the official sources al
ready mentioned, while the domestic wines are
estimated by the Department of Agriculture the
total production being estimated and the amount
exported being subtracted therefrom.
The head Malt Liquors" is subdivided into
domestic" and Imported" the domestic being
the amount manufactured in the United States
less the amount exported, while the imported is
the amount brought to the United States from
foreign countries for consumption.
The per capita consumption is arrived at by di-
vidng these totals by the estimated population OF
the United States, the estimate being made by
the Census Department year by year. The est
mated population of the country for the hscai
year 1907 was s5,S17,239

CHAPTER ": HOW WE FIGURE THE
COST

COSI.
There are two problems in the computation
which we need carefully and discriminatory to
study. The first concerns the question of adul-
teration and therefore relates closely to the
amount of liquor sold and the amount of money
taken from the people. 1t is conceded by most
unbiased students of the question that there is
an enormous adulteration and dilution of almost
all kinds of liquors, particularly the spirits and
the wines. Upon several occasions an effort has
been made to study this phase of the question and
to assign averages and amounts In this study
no such effort is made, not because there is no
ground for it, but because it is the determine

four hours, of New Years, Lincon's Birthday,
Washington's birthday, Decoration Day, Fourth
of July, Election Day, Thanksgiving and Christ
mas, in order to discharge the barrels of beer
that the brewer hurls at American homes every
year.
A popular error needs, perhaps to be corrected
here in relation to the drink consumption We
often told, in certain class of publications,
that while the consumption of beer is upon the
increase, beer is Temperance drink" and the
consumption of distilled liquors is upon the de-
crease, and that therefore, the consumption Of
alcohol wanes. A glance at the official table
which accompanies this article, shows that this is
not the case, but that the consumption of distilled
spirits, with the exception of single year, has
increased since 1885, and that as indicated above~
it now stands at a higher point than has been
reached at any other time since 1878.
A valuable and instructive little table can be
made, showing the consumption of actual alcohol
at different periods in American history. 1t is
common to point back to 1910 as to period of
1amentable drunkenness and to congratulate our
selves that we have come long way in tenn
perance reform since then. But, in point of fact,
the consumption of actual alcohol in 1910 was
small in comparison with its consumption in
1907. Reckoning beer at six per cent alcohol,
wine at fifteen per cent and spirits at fifty per
cent, the following is the showing of the con-
sumption of actual alcohol during the past sixty
seven years:

CHAPTER III: THE DRINK FLOOD.

In total quantity of liquors consumed the fiscal
year 1907 surpassed every other year in the his
tory of the American people. Advance sheets of
the governments Statistical Abstract, which is in
preparation for the press in the Bureau of Sta
tistics in Washington, show that the total con-
sumption of liquors of all kinds reached the enor-
nous mass of 2o19,e91 ,1o1 gallons, or per
capita consumption of more than twenty three and
one-half gallons of alcoholic liquors for every
man, woman and child of the s5,S17,239 people

consumption of the preceding year, an increase
of almost third in ten years and more than five
gallons more per capita than we began the
present century with.
To revert to the startling figure which appears
in the introduction to this article if we should
imagine some great chute, operating with the
rapidity of rapid-fre gun, and hurting barrel
of beer, like projectile, among the homes of the
American people, it will be necessary for us to
fancy this engine of destruction working twenty
four hours a day, every day except Sunday,
throwing two barrels every second; and even
with that tremendous delivery it will be necessary
for the speed to be increased and five barrels per
