A Corporations Color.

There are few more subtle refine
ments of law than that which makes of
the corporation IAN artificial being in
visible intangible and existing only in
contemplation of law" In a case de-
cided recently in West Virginia the de-
fendant had sold the plaintiff a small
building lot, one of a group which he
owned. The sale had been made with
a stipulation that no land in the divis-
ion should be sold to a colored person,
so the buyer was highly incensed when
shortly afterward the remaining lots
were all sold to corporation made up
entirely of negroes.
A suit for breach of condition was
brought Immediately, but the defend
ant justified his action on the ground
that the land had not been sold to a
colored person. but to a corporation.
His opponent, however, replied with
the remarkable assertion that since a
corporation was a person, then If its
members were all negroes, it could
with great propriety be called a COL
ored person.
1t looked for a while as If this argu-
ment might win the day until the de-
fendant presented the following hypo-
thetical case for the consideration of
the court:
IF the corporation had been COM
posed half of white men and half Of
negroes, could it then have been con-
sidered a mulatto?"
The plaintiff lost his case.-Youth's

FATE OF AlCHEMlSTS.
III Fortune BefeII Men Who Sought
to Transform Metals.

10 Fortune BefeIl Mon Who Sought
to Transform Metals.
Just fourteen years ago, on May 23,
1896, two men lost their lives while
experimenting with a process Tor
making gold" Charles Johnson and
George Minear, both Of Fairfield,
Iowa. experimental for months with
a secret process in which the then
novel X-rays played an important
part.
Johnson and Minear were sure OF
success and confident that untold
wealth lay within their grasp. They
spent their money to erect an expen-
sive laboratory at Fairfield, and there
they melted metals in the crucible, and
while carrying the crucible to the
chamber where they planned to use
the X-rays on the mixture, one Of
them stumbled The superheated
contents of the crucible fell upon the
men and killed them instantly.
Other men have met with severe
accidents, and even death, in the
course of chemical experiments that
dealt with the mysteries Of metals,
and several were hanged in olden
days because they pretended to have
discovered a way of Transforming base
metals into those of greater value.
The famous diamond maker of
Sacramento" Tr. Barnard, still lives
in the memory of some Californians.
Barnard sough. to liquefy carbon, and
by pressure reduce it to the diamond.
The vessel used for his experiments
burst one day and Barnard was blown
to shreds.
In the reign of George III an al
chemist. DIR. Price, who had pretended
to manufacture gold before the very
eyes Of the king, committed suicide
when q royal commission was ap-
pointed to inquire into his methods.
Paracelsus, the great philosopher,
alchemist, and charlatan, having in
vented or discovered what he thought
was the "elixir of life," took a drink
of it to insure his eternal youth and
straightway died. He had evolved the
concoction in the course of his expe-
riments for the transmutation Of
metals.
Famous in history was Dubois, an
eX-monk, who deceived Louis XIII of
France, and Cardinal Richelieu into
the belief he had solved the great
mystery of alchemy. Before the king
and queen and cardinal he pottered
over a crucible, and finally displayed
a nugget of gold in the bottom of the
vessel. He was feted and made much
Of, but when Louis discovered that
the mOnk-scientist could only make
small nuggets, and those with great
difficulty, Dubois was thrown into the
Bastile, to force him to reveal his
great secret. King and cardinal
planned to use II themselves on an ex-
tenSive scale. 1t was shown at last
that Dubois was an imposter. who
threw gold into the crucible under
cover of his queer operations. He
was hanged June 25, 1637-New York

BOYLE SAYS QUINCY
LACKS THE MONEY
Waterloo Manager Confident That
His City Will Not BE Put Out
of the Three-Eye.

Manager Boyle of Waterloo says
there is little danger of that city be-
ing ousted in favor of Quincy In the
first place, he says, Waterloo assumed
obligations when it entered the league
that it has lived up to and it will take
a majority Of the members of the
league, or five clubs, to GUST the city,
which he doubts can be mustered by
the southerners. In the second
place, he doubts that Quincy can
raise money enough TO finance a club.
1t will pay the Central $500 to get
out, a Three-Eye franchise will cost
$1,000 and a team such as the average
Three-Eye city now has would cost
$4,000 more. So it would take $500,
or thereabout, to put team in Quincy
on its feet, and Boyle says the money
is not in sight.
