The Pirates
BY MINNA IRVING.

~ Id BLACKBOARD and his buccaneers
Who sailed the Spanish Main,
And grim LATTE, and Morgan. too,
Have come TO life again.
They're cruising up and down Broadway
In cabs and motor cars,
And wearing coats of costly fur,
And smoking big cigars
They've hauled the Jolly Roger down
The dollar mark to ply
And armed themselves with worthless shares
And dividends that lie
They strip corporation bare
And wreck and sink "a bank
And make, as in the good old days,
The victims walk the plank
Though some of them have studied law.
Or entered politics.
And some in gilded offices
Pursue their wicked tricks,
l know them for the savage souls
That scattered blood and flame
From Holyhead to Panama
They're pirates just the same

There Is But One Way.

There is but one way to go about
any kind of business, and that way
IS TO GO ABOUT IT.
And to go about it YOURSELF.
No one can help you, no one can
hinder you.
There is a droll little story of
"Torchy," who was a hustling lad
in seek Of position as office boy.
He found a line of applicants
waiting to be admitted to an office
which had advertised for a boy.
He pushed past the line, took
down the sign, boy Wanted" and
walked into the office.
The astonished manager asked:
What are you doing with that
sign?" ~ am taking it down; you
don't need it any longer; I AM
THE BOY" was the answer.
So he secured the place just by
his assurance.
This exact action might not al
ways succeed, BUT THAT SPIRIT
WILL ALWAYS SUCCEED.
The very first requisite for a
writer is ideas and the power to
express them in a grammatical,
concise. interesting manner. The
ideas need not be new (for in truth
there are no new ideas). But there
must be something new in the
manner of expression, or at least
something interesting to readers.
Back OF this must lie an intense
desire to be heard, and a determi-
nation to make a place in the world
Of letters, whether as a reporter,
correspondent, author, poet, play
wright or essayist. Then the as
pirant must HIMSELF MAKE ALL
THE EFFORT TO ARRIVE AT
THE DESIRED GOAL.
A youth came to New York a year
or two since, with only debts and
desires to recommend him. He had
made a partial place in newspaper
work in another portion of the
States, but he wanted a metropoli-
tan field. He asked no aid of any
one; some aid was offered him in
the way of letters of introduction,
but all these letters did for him

T is well for everybody who
is inclined to scientific specu-
lation to keep his head on his
shoulders just now. The world is
not going to be flooded With gold
as a consequence of Sir William
Ramsay's recent curious expert
ments in London, and chemists are
not going to begin to manufacture
something out of nothing" as
some enthusiast has already pre-
dicted
All that has really been done is
to APPARENTLY produce minute
quantities of the rare gases neon
and helium in a sealed glass tube
believed to contain nothing but
hydrogen, and through which cleo
trio currents were made to pass.
Whether those gases actually We're
formed through the creation of new
atoms of matter by electric action,
or whether they already existed in
concealment in the glass walls of
the tube or In the metallic termi-
nalS through which the electric
current flowed, is a question still
to be finally settled.
They Are Confident.
Many years ago some expert
mentors believed that they had be-
held the production of new germs
Of life iii a sterilized medium but
it was afterward demonstrated
that, in spite of all their precau-
tons, already existing germs had
found their way into the medium.
1t is true that Sir William Ram
say and one or two other chemists
who have repeated his experiments
are confident that there are no
overlooked sources of error in their
operations, but experience shows

nounced, precisely the same asser-
lions were made that are now re-
peated with regard to Ramsays
latest northumberland that
one of the next steps might be the
turning of base metal into gold.
But soon everybody was made to
comprehend that when radium pro-
duces helium, by self disintegra-
ton, the thing that happens is a
kind of running down the scale of
atomic weight. The radium atom
is greatly heavier than the helium
atom. The atom Of uranium is
heavier than the atom of lead,
When the atoms of either radium
or uranium transnute themselves
INTO another element, the new ele-
ment thus produced consists Of
atoms less massive than those Of
its parent substance.
Now, Ramsay's latest discovery
appears to show just the opposite
of this, for hydrogen possesses an
atom which is lighter than those of
helium and neon, into which it an
pears to change. Thus it would
seem that, by some mysterious ac-
ton of the electric current, or of
the bombardment to which the hv-
drogen atoms are subjected by the
flying corpuscles in the tube
through which the current passes,
they are made to aggregate into
heavier atoms which constitute a
substance chemically different from
that which they formed at first.
This is an upward progress in the
order of atomic weight.
To produce gold by atomic change
it would, by the first process, be
necessary to begin with some sub
stance of greater atomic weight.
such as mercury or lead, and cause
it to run down the scale. To pro-
duce it by the second process one
would on the other hand. have to
start with lighter substance, and,
curiously enough, hydrogen stands,
as far as weight is concerned. at the
bottom of the chemical group in
which gold is placed, and gold at
the top. An atom of gold is almost
200 times as heavy as that of hydro
gen. 1t is a long way up. then.
from hydrogen to gold! From hy-
drogen to helium there are only
four steps up the ladder, and from
hydrogen to neon about twenty

was great excitement over the dis
covery that radium gives off an
emanation which gradually changes
into helium 1t has even been
thought that uranium. the mother
substance" of radium, may change
into the form Of lead.
