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 a 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?" 81 am taking it down; you
don't need it any longer; l AM
THE BOY" was the answer.
So he secured the place just by
MS assurance.
This exact action might not al
ways succeed, BUT THAT SPIRIT
WILL ALWAYS SUCCEED.

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 q 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.

And grim LATTE, and Morgan, too. -

They're cruising up and down Broadway
In cabs and motor cara,
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 a corporation bare
And wreck and sink d bank
And make, in the good old days
The victims walk the plank
Though some of them have studied law.

Pursue their wicked tricks.

nounced, precisely the same asser-
peated with regard to Ramsay's
latest periment-namely, that
one of the next steps might be the
turning Of base metal into gold.l
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 transmute 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 APP
pears to change. Thus it would
seem that, by some mysterious ac-
ton of the electric current, or of
the bOmbardment to which the hy-
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 a 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.
Ne Can Not Be Sure Yet.
But We can not be sure Yet that
even these steps have been made.
and, as to the assertion that the
recent experiments have demon
strated that the ether itself can be
turned into tangible matter. and
so something be created out of ap-
parent nothing, there is no proof
Yet on record.
1t is not yet time for the nations
to begin to search for some other
standard of value than gold, which
would lose its rank if Il could be
