Eleven Years Of Faithful Service Com

35 Fireman to Other Employers.

The degree to which politics is per-
mitted to interfere with the efficiency
lof the fire department has been shown
in no case better than In that Of Il. c..
Smith. who has been removed ssfor the
good OF the service under conditions
sthat can only show the extent to which
the rule or ruin policy of the adnlinis-.
atratiofl of the city's affairs is permitted
to soverbalance all other considerations.
The morning following his day OFF,;
Driver Smith was called from bod on
the telephone by Il friend in the fire
department and Informed that the
machine had got his head Smith de-.
gclares himself at a loss to know OF any
reason why he should have been dis
missed for in the II years of his serv-.
ice his record has been one of the hest
In the department which is attested
by many others in the service. He was
a driver of ability and had always been
ready for duty. SAL
Two interesting letters are in evil
dence in Smiths case. One was re-
cetved from the deputy city recorder
which follows:
You are hereby notified that at Il.
meeting OF the City Council held last

proving his action. Very respectfully,

City Recorder,
BY 3. S. Rives, deputy.
In sharp contrast to this letter is one
handed to Smith by Chief Glore, which
shows that the chiefs action in remoy-
ling him was a matter of pressure from
the party handlers, and shows, too, how
helpless the chief really is in matters
affecting the efficiency of the fire de-
pertinent. The letter from the chief to
Driver Smith is as follows

certify that the bearer, MIR. T.. G. Smith.

ers are not desirable for jurors, ac-
cording to Jury Commissioner Will
liam A. Amberg, who testified before
the judges who are investigating al
legged Irregularities in the drawing Of

"The jury commissioners believe
that men who live by accepting tips
are not of character to make good
jurors" explained the witness.
Following are others whom the
commissioners ignore in selecting
veniremen: Actors, because they
have no fixed abode laborers and for
eign tailors, because, as rule, not of
sufficient intelligence; boilermakers,
because Of defective hearing; saloon
keepers and bartenders, because Of
their occupation; peddlers. junk deal

Makes Elephant sausaoe.

Some time ago an enterprising Ger.
man pork butcher contracted for the
carcass Of an elephant belonging to
the Client Geological Gardens. The
elephant had become unruly and II
was necessary to have him killed.
The butcher at once proceeded to
transform the huge carcass into
Frankfort sausages.
According to report he was able to
manufacture no less than $500
pounds, which found a ready sale.
owing to their novel origin. The ele-
plants heart, which weighed some
forty pounds. was also sold in slices.
This story is suggestive Of the re-
port from Paris that a butcher had
used the carcass Of lion for max.

to the dead-beat all that is coming, as

MICRO, ,C|NEMA7OGRAPH FEAT
Life Of Active Microbes Recorded on
Films by UItra-Microsoope-
Value to Science Ia Immense.

Paris.-Jean Commander, young
cinematograph records of active mic
robes. This feat is deemed of the
highest importance as 1t enables their
movements and development to be
carefully watched by regulating the
speed of the cinematograph. He thus
explains his success:
1T is due to the use of the ultra
microscope, in which the lighting of
the preparation to be examined is
done laterally. Infinitely small or
ganisms, seen as dust, are visible
playing in ray of sunlight because
they are laterally lighted. This meth
cd has enabled savants to discover q
great number of new microbes which
are invisible in an ordinary micros-
cope, however powerful.
"The cinematograph apparatus is
attached to the eye piece of the ultra
microscope, and an uncolored drop Of
an infected animals blood is placed
between two strips of glass. Focuss.
ing is extremely difficult, but when it
is accomplished thirty-two photo
graphs are taken In, second.
The magniflcation obtained after
projection is from ten to twenty thou
sand diameters. The ultra-microscope
renders visible objects the size Of
which is one.two-thousandth part of q
millimeter."

ence saw tripanosomes, which are the
microbes causing sleeping sickness,
as large as eels, rapidity rushing
among the red corpuscles of the blood,
and could see fatty globules, Of the d.
mension of micron-that is, one
one-thousandth of q millimeter-which
form the nutritive part of the blood.
London.-Martin Duncan, who first
combined the use of the microscope
and cinematograph. says of the inven-
tion Of M. Commander: "It means a
permanent record of the movements
Of minute organisms, which can after
ward be studied in detail at leisure.
Its value to medical, biological and
archaeological science can hardly be
exaggerated"
Mr. Duncan's own films include such
records as the circulation Of proto-

Drink COMMAND
MENT NOT A NEED
English Clergy Take Issue with
Prof. Carver of Harvard on
This Subject
DECALOGUE IS MANS MAKING
Hence He May Change lt-Sermon
on Mount Brings Sacred Laws to
Date, Thinks Vicar Of the British
Parliament's Church.

London.-Prof. Carver's plea, issued
from Harvard, for the substitution of
a commandment against drunkenness
in place of the one against profanity
in the Decalogue has been deported
here and led to some comment among
churchmen.
A correspondent has talked With
two of them who are leaders Of religi-
GUS thought in this city.
While not agreeing with Prof. Car.
yer that the drink evil deserves q
place among the Ten Commandments,
the Rev. N. I. Campbell, pastor Of
the City Temple and author of "The
New Theology" was willing to con-
cede that the Commandments were
susceptible of improvement to meet
modern conditions.
Indeed, l am convinced" he said,
"that the basis on which human NOR
ality rests must be revised. There is
no reason why man should not alter
the Decalogue, which was made by
man for man. That utterance now
urgently demands expansion. AS gen.
orally recognized the Ten Command
ments do not now constitute a COM
plete code for human conduct and
morality. All the same l do not agree
with Prof. Carver that drink is the
most crying evil demanding a special
Commandment"
Canon Hensley Henson, Vicar Of st.
Margaret's. Westminster, the official
church of Parliament, and one of the
most noted Of England's progressive
churchmen, said:
"Prof. Carver's reason for eliminat.
ing the Third Commandment Is uncon-
vincing, If what he said has been ade-
quotely reported here. 1t seems to
me also superficial. The Third Com
mandment, is not mere injunction
against needless profanity. In it's
larger significance it means that we
should not be derelict in contracts Of
any nature.
Evidently the Decalogue was writ
ten for primitive agricultural COM
munity, as witness the reference to
the OK and the ass, which is practical
ly obsolete for present purposes. In
the Sermon on the Mount, however,
We find a construction put on the De-
calogue making 1t applicable to all
ages and to any circumstances. If
one may have weakness for drink
that is no reason for the issue of a
new commandment against that vice.
There is no occasion for a special in
junction against wine, for, properly
read, the Decalogue as it stands cov-
ers every form or vice."

CHICAGO "SPORT."
An ox-kilIine Contest from Which
Women Fled.


Chicago. Fully 1900 persons
watched-or started to watch-the
beef-dressing and goat-catching con-
test staged at the Lawndale Baseball
Park. Butch Welsh re-established his
claim to the title of the championship
of the world by killing and dressing
an OK in five and one-half minutes on
a platform erected in front of the
grand stand. The crowd in the grand
stand diminished rapidly as the events
proceeded in the "arena" constructed
in the baseball diamond. Women fed
for the gates at the sight, and later
no less than 500 men and boys rushed
down to Join in the scramble for
goats.
The first OK was led into the arena
paving and looking wildly at the
crowd. He was dragged upon plat
form that had been constructed,
where the matador stood armed with
a hammer, more unconventional than
the weapon used by the Mexican and
Spanish bull-fghters.
The first blow of the hammer failed,
and it took two more before the OK
fell on the platform. After the con-
test the carcases were auctioned off
to the assembled butchers, who came
from all over the city and whose en-
terprise had provided the entertain

Artificial Coffee In Europe.

Horrible disclosures are made Of
methods in common use for the
manufacture of coffee" 1t seems
that of factories for that purpose ex-
listing in France there are 1906 which
turn out $4,000 tons annually, while
there are 56S such establishments in
Austria-Hungary, including 412 for the
manufacture of coffee from figs, and
in Germany nearly $4,000 hands are
employed in the trade, and the an
nual output is 100000 tons. 1t fol-
lows that a large quantity Of coffee"
which we drink has not an atom of
the real berry in it. The list of SUBJ
stances out Of which 1t Is manufac-
tured is alarming. Cereals soaked
with beer, brandy, or rum, chestnuts
and horse-chestnuts, haricot beans
and broad beans, carrots, dates, and,
finally, the hard roe Of cod. The an
nual output of what is charmingly
called "fanciful coffee" for Europe Is
estimated at over 257000 tons.-Paris
