A part Of the theory touching the
nature Of matter is that the ions.
which are the constituents OF atoms.
are not only in constant motion, but
that this energy is working toward a
lower quality of matter; that is. that
gold is developing toward copper or
toward some other kind OF metal of
less value. So of silver and the dia.
nond. These precious metals never
transmute upward. but always down
ward The changes mag not be OBJ
served In centuries, but In millions oil
years .hey win manifest themselves.
This disintegration Of the atom and its
transmutafion into the base metals
suggest two inferences-either the ad'
vance Of civilization in the eradication
Of gold and other precious metals. or
that the so-called baser metals are OF
greater value and use in the social
economy. OF course, long before the
eradication Of gold through this proc
ess. mankind win disappear from the
planet. yet the lesson is left by this
scientific discovery that in the great
plan of nature, copper and iron are
more to be esteemed than gold or
silver.

AAWLEY AND POST REACH
CITY OF QUEBEC SAFELY
Balloon America II. Still at Place
Where Landing Was Effected
Men Recount Experience.

Quebec, Ont.-Alan r. Hawley and
Augustus Post, the heroes or the
greatest balloon fight on record, ar
rived here Wednesday night after an
experience that was more trying thar

they contested remains In America.
The United States consul was there
to greet them, as well as a number OF
enthusiastic citizens who cheered them

form.
Although persons Of vigorous health
and dauntless spirits, it was easy to
perceive that the two aeronauts, about
whose safety the people of the entire
content had bee held in suspense for
several days, were worn out, and al
though they spoke freely. their bodily
fatigue could not be disguised And at
times, as they recounted their thrilling
experiences, they would remark that
they were somewhat dazed. The party
drove to the Chateau Frontenac.
where they dined as the guests of the
u. S. consul.
Messrs. Hawley and Post landed
about As hours after their departure
from st. Louis. The balloon basket
touched earth at 1885 the afternoon of
Oct. 10. They probably few about
1000 miles, although the direct dis
lance between the two points. on
which the International rae is decid-
ed, is only 1885 miles. This would
male their average rate Of progress
about 60 miles an hour.

Hawley's leg was injured so badly
thst he was lsid up for several hours
and he has not yet entirely recovered
from the effects of the hurt.
In describing the earlier part of the
journey up to the time they were lost

Mr.. Post said they followed a north

the Illinois river into the state of Wis

carried them along northeast over

MAKING A RIFLE FIT BETTER
Have the Tangs on the Frame Bent
Down Until You Have the Drop
You Want, Says Expert.

Compare the rifle and the shotgun
and you will almost invariably ind
the rife has much less drop OF stock
than has the gun. This Is. of course.
due to the rife makers not wanting
to carry a large assortment OF rine9
fitted with stocks of different shapes,
perhaps following the idea that most
people have that a shotgun must ut,
but any old rife is good enough. And
that is what most of them get Also,
If you'll watch tie owner handle the
gun and the rife you'll find there if
a big difference. With the gun built
for him he keeps his head up and
his eye on the target. With the rf1e
he puts his head down and hunts for
the sights-rd even then complains
of over-shooting. 1t doesn't occur &c
him that this is due to the too high
modern front sight and the toe
straight stock.
There is only one way to remedy
this latter difficulty without giving UT
your last cent to have q special stock
built for you. Simply have the tango
on the rife frame bent down until
you have the , drop you want-that
is, the one that brings the sights in
line so that o wouldn't be both
cred where you couldn't see the sights
but could see the outlines of the
game. l have had this done on sew
eral of my rifles. 1t costs something
less than ST. And last fall ever
guide and native from New Brunswick
to the Smokes that saw and handled
my $3.50 H. V. wanted it. They al
spoke of the way the sights aligned
but they didn't know why they did.
| have only had the change made on
several "a and '92 model Winchesters.
I'm not at all sure that It can be done
on the 's5 model or any other make
OF rife. l believe. however. It win
pay the hunter who is troubled with
~over-shooting to look into the matter
and see if he can have his rifle a.

FOR BACK TAXES
Supreme Court Order May Dou-
BILE Illinois Annual Income.
DIRECT TRIAL ON MERITS
Decision of High Tribunal O~verruIes
Conten tion In Demurrer That
Settlements Estop Suit to
Recover Unpaid levies.

Springfield, Hl.-The Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company received a set
back when the supreme court
decided that the s15,0 600. 600 back
tax suit brought by the state
must go to trial. The suit vas fled
by the attorney general early in 1907,
following a message Of Governor De-
neen 20 the legislature, in which 1t
was asserted that the railroad a so
manipulated its account as TO credit
millions of it's earnings to lines not
chartered in Illinois n hence not
subject to the Z per cent. tax. An
appropriation vas made by the legis-
lature to defray the expenses of an ac-
counting. This accounting swelled
the amount which the governor had
estimated to be due the state from
$4,000, 900 to 49, 900, 900.
The state won every important con-
tention with the exception that the
opinion holds the accounts prior to
1905 have been accepted by the state
and payment made thereon. and that
therefore they are not subject t fur
Their inquiry.
The court considers the cas- under
three important headings. The first
is whether the amount to be levied
by the state auditor is a tax or wheth'
er it Is based on a contract under
its charter. The court holds it is g
contract.
On the question Of interstate com
merce business, the court holds all in
terstate commerce business passing
over the charter lines, whether orig
mating in Illinois or in other states
and coming into Illinois, is subject to
the z per cent tax on gross receipts.
Then on the question of scope OF the
inquiry it is held ii cannot extend
back prior to 1905.
Under the head OF accounting, the
state wins In its contention that il
should be on the basis Of mileage. The
same hing is true in regard to express
earnings On the subject of charter
line property for the use of the non
charter lines, the court holds the state
is entitled to a money consideration
for this service. The state wins IL
its contention that 1t should receive
the contract rate of z per cent of the
receipts from eating-houses and dinint
cars.
On the question of newspaper ed
vertising the railroad company loses
the court holding that where it issues
mileage for such advertising it shoult
be included In the accounting with tn,
state.
About the only point on which tn,
company wins. aside from excluding
all accounts prior to 1905, is that 1t II
not required to account for interest OIL
deposits.
The court remands the case to tn,
Circuit court Of La Sale county, will
instructions to proceed in accordance
with the views In its opinion. Unless
the railroad accepts the courts de
cision as final; the Circuit court o
La Sale county will no doubt appoln
D master to go int all the details o
The accounting since 1905, and the cas-
may be prolonged indefinitely. A
present the railroad is paying approx
mately $1,000, 900 to the state ever,
year.
