LEGALLY Better Off.

The creditors of the ancient king
had become so unpIeasantly insistent
that he resolved to put them where
they could trouble him no more, So
be invited them to a great banquet,
and when they had Toasted and drunk
Of his prepared wine he instructed his
servants to convey them to his deepest
dungeons. And the next morning
when he went down to learn whether
his servants had done his bidding his
creditors raised their voices and en-
treated to be set free. But he remon-
strated with them. saying:
my friends. you have no just cause
for complaint. Are you not better off
in the eye of the law than ever: be-
fore? Any lawyer will tell you that
a secured creditor has an exceptional
cinch." Then he left them and went
on his gladstone way. happy in the
knowledge that he could at last 60

THE LOS ANGELES HORROR.

1t must be admitted that some one
was to blame for the explosion in the
Los Angeles Times which killed
twenty persons and wrecked the
building.
For thirteen years the Times has
been in a bitter war with the Typo
graphical union. Despite the enlnity
of the organized printers the Times
has prospered and this hasn't pleased
the unions who have repeatedly de-
clared that they ultimately would
win the fight. r..
With such a condition of affairs,
1t is only natural that suspicion for
the present disaster should be
directed toward union sources.
Yet the wires had not clattered out
details of the horror before Mr..
Lynch, president of the International
Typographical union wired the Los
Angeles union that every effort must
be made to prevent the public from
fastening the blame of the explosion
upon his organization and that
from the telegraph story I am con-
WINGED the blow up was caused by
leaking gas mains and the general
unsanitary condition of the Times
Office" "
Unpreiudiced minds see IN this
telegram a very feeble and anything
but worthy attempt to avert roar
of condemnation from the public.
If Mr.. Lynch had really wished to
sustain the respect which his order
has, for the most, enjoyed he might
better have ordered a sweeping in.

in no uncertain terms that whoever
may have been: guilty should be

law. To render verdict of no,

New LIoht on electricity.

Attention was recently called IN
this column to the remarkable obser-
vations of Professor Nipher Of St
Louis on the property Of an electric
current, when passing round a sharp
corner, of apparently projecting dis
charge along It's original line of mo
ton. More recently Professor Can
tor of Warzburg has independently
observed the same phenomenon. and
now Prof. Silyanus p. Thompson de.
clares that this seems to be evidence
Of the existence of a true electric
momentum. resembling that Of water
sowing In pipe. Farsday he'd
thought of the possibility of such a
hing. but his experiments led him to
conclude against its existence. Clerk
Maxwell afterward raised the ques-
ion again. and also decided 1t in the
negative. But Professor Thompson
points out that the phenomenon is In
accord with the most recent theory OF
the atomic nature Of electricity. which

Thou pson. We have here a newly ac-
7uired fact about electricity. whatever
the ultimate explanation Of 1t may be.

One cannot always ignore tradition,

old legends Of hidden treasure, some
