The Iron Dukes Dam"

A writer in the Boston Globe comes
to the defence of Geraldine Farrm'
and hcr big, big d. He says II she
ever allowed her tuncfui lips to utter
it. she can claim. with the Duke ol
Wellington, that it was not used III
a profane sense. In explanation, he
relates an anccdotc Of the Iron DUKE,
who vas perhaps worth more tnan the
dukes of today, as follows
In the house of lords some meas
ures dealing with the administration
of TIE East Indian government vas
under discussion. The conQueror or
Napoleon had held the high office of
viceroy Of India for long period. He
ha.a but recently returned home and
taken Lis seat in parliament. Great
weight was attached to his opinions
relating to the administrative needs
of the eastern dependency. In reply
ing to some remark of a brother peer,
the duke wound up by declaring that in
dealing with the complicated affairs
of that distant province the iGea adj
vanced wasn't practically worth 3
damn" There was an immediate SELL
sation. The dignity of the august
chamber was offended. A storm of
prott sting "O's. O's!' greeted the
breach of etiquette. The duke turned
to the lord chancellor and with a word
of apology for his inadvertcnce, OK
planned that the word was properly
and inoffenSively used in India as a
term Of comparison. We have in our
currency there" ne said. "a Very in
ferior coin constituting but a small
fraction of farthing in comparative
value. 1t is called dam Hence it
has gone into everyday speech in that
country when Il useless thing is
spoken Of to say that il isn't worth

And Now to Business!

That is right. Let's get down to
business. Wall Street and London
markets have already discovered that
the election was not as bad as it might
have been. Business will go on
Credit has not been affected. The
Democrats can do nothing radical:
there is no new nationalism to dis
turb things. The danger of either is
past and the financial and industrial
worlds see no dangerous menace in
the immediate future. There has been
no revolution in political conditions,
despite the proclaimed landslide"
The Washington Post says:
THE election could not have turned
out in way more conducive to free
dom from disturbing influences grow
ing out of political agitation and
legislative uncertainty. Besides Civ
ing the quietus to mischiveous doc
trines. the election of a Democratic
propositions to which both parties are
not agreeable will be hung up in Il
congressional deadlock for at east
three years.
wherefore as the situation presents
itself. there is no obstacle to the full
resumption of all business activities
everywhere. The banner yield of
agricultural products is coming for
ward as fast as the railroads can
move them, and with these fundamen-
tai factors OF big business in fun
operation the fag end of apathy must
yield to the pressure. Everybody
can help Il little by getting out and
hustlng. once every wheel is turn
ing, it cannot be long until the boom
breaks all records.

ENGLISH RADiUM.
Sir William Ramsay Gives Demon
straton of Its Extraction.

Recently Sir William Ramsay. the
eminent scientist of England, gave a
demonstration Of the processes en-
ploScd in extracting radium by the
company with which he is associated
at Limchouse. Incidentally he stated
that the Trenwith mine i'm Cornwall
so far had produced 5000 millgram-
mes of radium, containing 10 per cent.
OF pure radium bromide. This is the
nfst That has been extracted from
British ore in Great Britain. Radium
Is obtained from pitchblende, a min
eral of very rare occurrence.
there are two deposits Of pitch
plende so far known-the one in Corn
wall and the other in Austria. The
british deposit is worked by process
perfected by Sir William Ramsay. AZ
ter the concentration at the mine the
ore is removed to the factory, where

Sir William Ramsay, 1T the time Oh
this demonstration, exhibited rather
more than five hundred milligrammes,

the market value was somewhat diff
