SPRINGS DESTROYED BY ACID
One Possessing Potential Energy Dis
solved First, Showing Different
Chemical Affinity.

Taking two steel watch springs OF
exactly the same size and quality of
material and winding up tightly and
locking one of the springs. leaving the
other spring unwound. and placing
them in nitric or hydrochloric acid or
any other acid which dissolves the
metal, 1t will be found that the wound
up spring-that is, the one that has
stored certain amount of potential
energy-is dissolved first, showing
that the spring under strain has
chemical affinity different from that
of the one not under strain. Thus, II
there should be local current the
dinerent parts of the steel would have
different potential differences against
the electrolyte and there will be a
current circulating between the two,
demonstrating that the solution of the
wound up spring gives up more ener-
gy than the unwound spring 1t can
be proved that the wound up spring
produces more heat in dissolving than
the unwound spring, and thus the po-
tential energy stored in the spring Is
converted into heat energy. That heat
and work are mutually convertible is
the first law of thermodynamics, and.
II 1t we're possible to measure calori-
metrieally the energy expended in
winding up the spring in heat measure
1t would show that one balances the
other exactly. thus demonstrating that
energy cannot be created nor destroy

TO HOLD PAPERS TOGETHER
Ingenious Type Of Pliers Invented by
German for Performing Work.

For the affixing of staples on papers
a German has invented an ingenious

to hold papers. such as lawyers briefs,

by hand. they are automatically punch

and this actuates the staple driver that
is in the head of the casing. On the

RACE LEADERS PLAN

WONDERFUL PROGRESS MADE

Plans to interest the 10000 colored
to hold a mammoth exposition in the
National Capital in the near future to
symbolic the progress made by the race
in the last half century of its freedom
will be formulated at the celebration OF
the fifty-first anniversary of the eman-
CipatiOn proclamation, to be held at the
Florida Avenue Baptist Church tonight.
Just iifty-One years ago today Abraham
Lincoln signed the emancipation procla-
nation, freeing 40OO,0OO slaves. What
have those fifty-one years of freedom
done for the coIored man?
What the cOlored man has done is
what the promoters of the proposed ex-
position intend to show by a mammoth
exhibit They wish to have an exposition
of everything the race has done since ITS
emancipation. In Philadelphia an exhibit
is being held in connection with the
emancipation celebration being held by
the colored people of that city.

the observer an inkling of what a gi-
gantic exposition could be assembled IL
all the wonderful inventions, works of
literature and art from the hands of
the colored people of the country in the
last half century are shown at one time.
More than twenty inventions. many of
which have made their inventors rich
men, library containing 800 books of
every description, written by colored au-
thors: exhibits educational, medical, in
dustrial and social. are shown at the
Philadelphia exhibit. which is not by any
means national in character
IF such an exhibit can be collected in
Philadelphia at such a short notice"
say the leaders in the movement to hold
a national exposition here, what a wor.
derful impression illustrating the capac-
ity of the African race could be had of
an exposition of national scope to be
held in the National Capital"
Among those prominent in Afro-Ameri-

CARDINAL GIBBONS
DELEGATES MISSION
Catholics of Forestville, Nd, Now
Have Their Own Place
of Worship.

Upper Marlboro, Nd, Sept. 1.-Cardf
nal James Gibbons. assisted by Father,
Di POala. pastor of St Mary's Church,
this place, and F. Jones. in charge OF
the mission at Forestville, this morning
dedicated Mount Calvary Mission House
at Forestville. Prince George County,
in memory of the Passion of our Lord.
The ceremonies were attended by over
800 members of the congregation OF
Mount Calvary and many others from
various sections Of Prince George
County.
Cardinal Gibbons came to Upper Mari
'boro last night and remained with
Father hi Poala- At : O'Clock tlsas
morning he said mass at St. Mary's
Church. and a little after o'clock went
to ForestviIle for the dedication services.
After the formal dedication of the build
ing Cardinal Gibbons spoke for about
twenty minutes.
The Cardinal, among other things. de-
clared that the Catholic Church is the
center of Christianity and civilization
He spoke of the struggle of the Cath
olics in Forestville to secure a place OF
worship. and declared that this was the
spirit responsible for the present en-
viabIe standing of the Catholic Church
IN America.
The need OF Cathollc Cnurcn IN the
FOrestville neighbOrhood has been felt
for several years. 4 year ago last April
the congregation in Forestville. led by
Father Di POala. decided to hold serv-
ices, and. Samuel Tayman gave up his
home at AFOrestville every Sunday for
this purpose. After a year Bishop Corri-
gan came to FOrestviIle and decided
upon a site upon which to build Mount
Calvary Mission House. This site was
upon ground that had been donated by
a former Bishop of Baltimore fifty years
ago for the specific purpose of erecting
Catholic church.

MANY ATTEND MEETING

, Copies OF resolutions condemming the

before them yesterday were sent Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo and Direc-

craving and Printing by the girls of
Federal Labor Union. No. u T76. who are
employed as plate printers helpers at
the Bureau, and who believe that the
proposed plan will result disastrously for
them. The resolutions condemning the
plan. which is said TO be the suggestion
OF Secretary McAdoo. were adopted by
large meeting Of the girls. held yester-
day afternoon at Typographical Temple.
There are several hundred girls who
have Joined in the movement to reject
the proposal To pay by the piece. and
they have called upon the Central Labor
Union and the American Federation Of
Labor. with both of which bodies they
are directly affiliated, to use their in
fiuence to help avert the introduction OF
the piece work system.
system Declared Unfair.
1t is pointed out in the resolutions that
such a system of paying the girls would
be unfair, as each girl is dependent
upon the amount of work done by the
plate printer for what she may realize.

mercy of the sloth or industry of the
plate printer.
They further object that the piece
work system i part OF the Infamous
Taylor system. which has created dis
content and discord wherever intro
duced. and which has been condemned
by all who have given any humane
thought to Industrial conditions. for the
speeding up that would result from the
piece-work system would tend TO ruin
and undermine the health of the girls
working at the Bureau"
Miss Agnes NJ O'DonnelI. head of the
girls union. presided at the meeting in
Typographical Temple. So wrought up
are the girls over the scheme to put
them on piece work, and so determined
is their opposition. that they came to
the meeting in force despite the heavy
rains.
At present the girls draw a per diem
wage Of $40. They express themselves
better satisfied with this wage than
with whatever wage might result from
the adoption of a system of paying by
the piece. Incidently. the subject of
wages was brought up at the meeting
yesterday. and the girls decided to work
steadily for a 10 per cent increase in
the wages of all the girls employed in
the Bureau.
