Transmutatton,

Recently the scientific world was
thrown into great excitement by the
claims of Professor j. Norman Collie,
supported by the experiments Of Pro-
fessor Patterson and by the authority
Of Sir William Ramsay. that chemical
elements either had been transmitted
by means of the cathode ray or had
actually been created. Other scientists
are more conservative and say that the
atoms thus apparently created might
have been already present in the SUBJ
stance of the test tube and were mere
~ driven out by the electric lombard
ment.
This recalls the dreams OF the old
alchemists who for ages tried to trans
mute baser metals into gold. They
failed, but their efforts were not wholly
in vain. as they were at least the in
direct means Of giving the world mod
ern chemistry. 1t is somewhat beside
the point. but our high %fnanciers could
give points to the alchemists. for the
fnanciers do get something for moth
ing and transmute water into gold.
If the claims of Sir William and
Professor Collie are established they
will upset the atomic theory. which is
already wabbly on it's legs. Their con
tention is supported by the fact that
radium has apparently changed the ma
ture Of elements. 1t is a subject on
which a layman can say little without
stumbling owe his ignorance, but is in
tensely interesting for all that
A stenographer in the ~statehouse at
Denver had a sewing machine sent to
her office, explaining to her %astonished
boss that she had nothing to do about
four days in each week and thought
she might as we'll improve the time by
sewing. The machine was quickly
hustled out by the indignant official.
He doubtless thought such a show of
industry would set a bad example.

Keeping the. Bows at Home.

e. -
Tile farmers OF three Indiana coun-
ties have organized for the purpose OF
Keeping the boys and girls on the
farm. They are following the oft dis
cnSsed plan OF making farm life so
pleasant that the city will cease to be
an attraction. This is good as far as it
goes. but does it really reach the point?
Is it not ambition that takes the young
people from the farm as we'll as a de-
sire for pleasure: Must we not go
further than merely making rura, life
pleasant: Must we not also make it
more highly remunerative. more OF an
avenue to advancement. more Of an
answer to the aspirations OF youth?
Has not the agricultural department
hit the spot in offering prizes to boys
for tile largest corn yield per acre:
1t is all very we'll to say that the
boy will be more prosperous and indie
pendent on the farm. Maybe be will,
and maybe he won't. 1t Is a fact that
jul pOvS wv IJ1tOlI6 clerks Anu
dr,ldgeS in the city. but it is also a
fact that others succeed in Il big way.
1t Is all a question OF the character O.
the boy.
1t is a problem hat cannot be solved
by moral preachments. The writer's
own belief is that scientific farming
and a readjustment of our system OF
distribution SO that the farmer will
get more OF the price paid by the con
sumer will do much toward keeping
the boy on the farm. In other words,
the farmer must get more out Of the
soil and the middleman must get less
out of the farmer. Is this not the uub
Of the question?

EMPTY TOMB AT ST. HELENA
Died, Is in Ruins and French Ask
That 1t Be Preserved.

Complaint is made in France that
the government of the republic is neg
lecting the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at st. Helena before removal
to the Church of st. Louis at the In
valides
In 1858 the Longwood house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley of
Geraniums, where his tomb was made
were given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon III. for the French government,
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley. Visitors are few
1t is believed that ere long a storm
will wreck the deCaying building, and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban-
doned to the farmer and the herds
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur
render of ground to utility, but it is in
evitable. In a world where the palaces
of Alexander and Caesar have crum-
bled into nothingness, there can be no
perpetuity for the homes of Napoleon.
The Tuileries went to ashes long ago
why save Longwood?

Expert research has disclosed the

have bad to complain of fish flavor
In their eggs.
The institution has it's own poultry
yard, extending to the edge of the
lake, whittier the ducks repairs for
swimming and the hens for drink Re
Gently the keeper of the hens got UP
extra early in the morning and was
COMPOUNDED when he saw a dozen of
his hens floating on the lake in the
midst of the flock of ducks. They
were diving, too, and coming up with
infant trout. which they brought to
shore to devour
The hennery man, who is also bio
logist, says it is a characteristic &C
quired through long association with
the ducks. He will segregate the hens
and ducks hereafter, for, although he
has no objection to swimming hens,
he feels that the flavor Of the eggs d.
rectly concerns his own reputation.
