SELENIUM BIC HELP
IN GUIDING OF SHIPS

The United States government has
need for many different substances
in carrying forward the various ac-
~tivities in which it is engaged. 1t
needs the gauze of flies wings to
make some of it's scientific instru-
ments, and even gathers lightning
bugs for it's laboratories. 1t Is now
making quite an extended use of a
mineral substance of which the aver
age reader has never heard-seleni-
UNI. This substance may stand be-
tween the reader and death. 1t
helps to guide every ship that sails
the ocean safely into port.
Selenium has the peculiar proper
ty of being a conductor of electricity
when the light does not shine on 1t
and a non-conduetor when the light
does shine on it. The inventors who
are transmitting images by telegraph
use selenium to convey the impulses
of light and shadow. But Uncle Sam
puts it to different use. He cannot
be everywhere when the sun rises In
the morning to turn out the light
buoys which mark the ship channels
of the navigable rivers and harbors;
nor can he turn them all on again
in the evening without aid. SO he
has made selenium do the work. He
has so equipped the gas buoys that
when the sun goes down in the even
ing, the selenium turns on the light
in the gas buoy. Next morning, as
soon as the sun rises, the light on
the selenium converts it into a con-
ductor of electricity. which enables
1t to turn off the light automatically.
There are thousands of remarka-
BILE things which you are all the
time helping to do, for you are an
equal partner in this great corpora
ton of Uncle Sam & Company, and
yet you know very little about it. 1t
is the mission of the new book, The
American Government" by Frederic
J.. Haskin, to make a full report to
you as one of the stockholders. In
this book it Is taken for granted
that you know there are two sena-
tors from each state, and that you
at least have other books which tell
these things. What "The American
Government" does is to reveal TO the
reader the thousands OF things
which tend to make him proud OF ms
stock in the firm of Uncle Sam q

STRONG CLASH
lively Verbal Battle Between
the Lawyers.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Nov. 13.-Former
Senator Theodore Strong and Assist
ant Prosecutor Joseph E. Stricken en-
gagged in a lively verbal battle in
court yesterday afternoon while try
ing a lien suit before Judge Lloyd
and a jury. Mr.. Stricken had object
ed to some testimony about to be
produced by Mr.. Strong, claiming
that the legal ground for such testi-
mony had not been laid by in the atfi-
davit and the pleas.
Mr.. Strong insisted that when
Judge Lloyd reopened a judgment by
default in the case o couple of
months ago, he had read an affidavit
which furnished the ground for the
evidence.
"You were SO %uproarous on that
occasion about some minor points in
the case that you thought you would
be able to conceal the real issue at
that time" charged Mr.. Strong. 1T
is an old trick of the trade"
Don't talk to me about tricks of
the trade" replied Mr.. Stricken in an
insinuating tone.
"You had this cast put off yester-
day until today without my knowl-
edge" continued Mr.. Strong. You
should either have been ready then
or taken a O suit"
"You can't stand here and run the
whole thing" replied Mr.. Stricken.
Judge Lloyd told me ten days ago,
that the case would be put in Mon
days call, but would not be called
until Tuesday. am not to blame for
that"
Surely no injury was done by the
postponement until today" said
Judge Lloyd. ut gave you more
time"
MY time was no good to me as L
had to get into a case l couldn't pre-
pare" replied Mr.. Stricken.
A little later when Mr.. Stricken
was Directing to the testimony, SEN
ator Strong turned upon him with:
why not try your case like a
MANI"
Senator, when l want to learn
how to try a case like a man ] will
come to you for some Instructions
retaliated Mr.. Stricken.
And / will be happy to give 1t to
you" said the Senator.
Later Mr.. Strong called upon Mr..
Stricken for a paper and When Mr..
Stricken produced 1t he said: "Of
course you know that this paper will
60 into evidence now"
Il don't know whether it will or
not, is may not be the right paper"
replied Mr.. Strong.
Counsel is simply calling your at
tention to the rule of law that when
counsel calls for a paper from the
other side it must be produced in evil
dence," Remarked Judge Lyon.
