II is natural TO inquire as 20 the size Of the
atoms Of which We are assured the world is
made. The question Of the relative size is ac-
curateIy answered by chemical analysis. We
know, for instance that The atom Of oxygen
weighs 1888 times IS much as that Of hydro
gen, and SO On. But this gives no answer to the
question as to the absolute size. 1t may seem
that It would be impossible-eyen nresumptuous
to attempt TO estimate the size Of particles
which must be far beyond the reach Of the
most powerful microscope; but this has been
accomplished. Time would not permit NE ever
to outline the methods of woDderful ingenuity
by which this problem has been attacked. Let
ne give YOU The results. ....

LiusSAnart.


New York, Jan. 19.-Mrs. Richard
Harding Davis, wife of the war corre-
spondent and writer, has engaged coun-
seYto represent her in matters relating
to the conditions under which Mr.. and
Mrs Davis will in the future live. This
fact becomes known definitely today,
altho there was no intimation of the
nature of the turn the personal affairs
Of Mr. and Mrs. Davis would take
Mrs Davis has retained the law firm
of Jerome & Rand to give attention to
her part Of settlement that has been
considered as inevitable for some
months.
1t is known that Mr. and Mrs. Davis
have been living apart for almost three
years. She is now residing at 33 West
Sixty-seventh street, while Mr.. Davis
is making his home at the Hotel Web
ster. There has been no announcement
as to their plans. Apparently aware of
the action of Mrs. Davis in retaining
counsel, Mr.. Davis had intrusted his
side Of the case to George Young
Bauchle.
The separation of Mr.. and Mrs. Dav-
is ends a romance that began with the
days Of childhood. She was Miss Cecil
Clark, daughter of John NJ. Clark, OF
Chicago, who was president of tele-
phone company. Miss Clark was one OF
the popular younger girls of her de.
butante days. She is brunette OF
striking type and has many accom-
plishments.

Constantinople, Jan. 19.-The palace
of Cheragan, where parliament sits,
was practically destroyed by fire, of
accidental origin, today. The chamber
of deputies was burned out, and the
senate hall so badly damaged that it
can not be occupied again.
The Palace of Cheragan was built by
Sultan Abdul Aziz and was the finest
palace on the Bosphorus. 1t was con-
structed of marble and the interior was
remarkable for its beauty Of sculptured
ornaments in marble and wood. For
many years it was the home of the de-
posed sultan, Murad ", and was in
accessible to visitors. 1t was occupied
by parliament when that body was
formed, a little more than a year ago

Hayes was supported by William
Green, of Ohio. and the convention was

ganizer. in q heated speech, denied he
had been brought in from his field of

Lewis in the convention or that, so far
as he knew, an effort had been made by
the Lewis administration to pack
the convention.
1--WE might as we'll thresh out this

Hayes motion. Hayes declared the ma

duties and that the United Mine Work

the election for the presidency. spoke

his salary from the national treasur!

The motion to table Hayes motion
