.PenetrabHity of Matter.

In a lecture at the Royal institution
Prof. Sir James Thompson said that
matter is neither continuous nor homo
geneous. He showed by an expert
ment that hydrogen car be passed
into a vacuum bulb passes through
an incandescent platinum window. In
a similar way sodium passes through
glass, and this is a useful fact in the
manufacture Of vacuum tubes, because
sodium can be passed into the tube to
absorb the residual oxygen. Bellati,
the Italian physicist, has shown that
hydrogen can pass through cold iron.
Matter may therefore be generally re-
garded as full of holes.

"MAKES BETTER RAILROADS."
Western Writer Pays Tribute TO
Railroad Magnate az BuiIder-up
Of the Country.

Mr.. Edward II. Hartman Is on q
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
In the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri.
man Is going off on a pleasure trip,
n SO many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage Of
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in men,
tioning the name of Hartman.
or all the great railroad men de-
veloped In this generation, T.. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says a writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of a
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether it is for the advan.
tage of politicians, shippers Oh con.
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman Is not only a
%financier, but he is a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community hat has a Hartman
road. He insists on a good roadbed,
level track, safe track and the CON
v%enience and comfort of the traveller
n the shipper. The Hartman roads
orn nntAl Nc tha Lo,t a.. A. aa..~
try. When Hartman gets hold of a
o%ne-horse or ~played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put 1t in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough of the funds go
into real improvements to make a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a bad thing
as some people have beer led to think.
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for Improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed. So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road a fair
deal.
He is a public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is a great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
of the money power, seeking whom
1t may devour. He is a strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan-
cial world is the object which most
of lis var to reach. He is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, ace horses, old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per-
fect-and we don't think he is-he Is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise OF his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.

The Water Bite.

He was six years old and had never
gazed into the mystic lens of a mi
croscope. Several slides containing
animalcula had been displayed to his
astonished vision. He was too amazed
to make any comment until he came
to one slide that seemed more wriggly
than any of the others. 1t was merely
a drop of water.
The little fellow gazed at it a long
time, with all it's nimble particles of
animal life. and finally. exclaimed to
his mother:
"Oh, mamma, now l know what 1t is
that bites you when you drink soda
water.

Flowers Without Foliage.

One of the most extraordinary flow
srs in cultivation is Halls amaryllis,
which reverses the order Of nature by
blooming in midsummer without any
foliage. Ordinary bulbs bloom in
spring and rest in summer, but Halls
imaryllis suddenly appears out of the
bare ground during the dry season.
This extraordinary plant has fra
grant, rosy lilac flowers which are
banded with yellow. In the spring
the leaves make their growth, die
down, and after a long interval of
rest the flower stalks appear with the
strange effect here described.-Gar.
