The Traaedx Of islam.

H. G. Dwight in Atlantic: The
question is whether they will be able
to modernize Islam. 1t will be harder
than undermining christianity, for the
reason that Islam is a far minuter
system. Is there not something NOV
ing in the spectacle of a people COM
mitted to an order which can never
prevail? Even for this n little iron
ic circumstance it can never prevail,
in our hurrying modern world, because
1t takes too much time to be a good
Mohammedan. But the whole order is
based on a conception which the mod
ern world does not admit. The word
Islam means resignation, submission
to the will of God. And there a be
no doubt that the mind of Islam is
saturated with that spirit. Why does
n man succeed and another fail? It
is the viii of God. Why do somel re-
cover from illness and others die? II
is the will OF God? Why do empires
rise and fall? 1t is the will of God.
Any man who literally believes such a
doctrine is lost.

ORIGIN of Emo polIar

The word dollar Is the English form
Of the German word thaler. The origin
Of the thaler is as follows: In the year
1919 Count Schlick. Of Bohemia, is
sued silver coins weighing one ounce
each and worth 113 cents They were
coined at Joachimsthal, that is James
valley or dae, in Bohemia: hence they
became known az observation-disclosures,
soon shortened into thalers. On each
coin was the figure Of st. James. Thru
trade with the Dutch these coins came
into England in the sixteenth century
and are referred to sometimes as "dal-
ers." The word dollar is found in
Shakespeare's Macbeth" act /, scene
2:
Sweno, the Norway's King, Graves con-
position:
Nor would we deign him burial for his

But the dollars came to the Amer
lean continent, not thru the Dutch or
English. but thru the Spanish. This
was due to the extent Of the Spanish
empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. and also to the great guam
titles Of silver which Spain drew from
her mines in Mexico and South Amer
lea.
The Spanish coin was strictly speak

piece Of eight about the year 1880.
The most famous Spanish dollar was
known as the pillar dollar, because It
had on one side two pillars. represent
ing the pillars Of Hercules. the class
steal name for the Straits OF Gibralter.
1t had also the motto. 'plus ultra"
The old form Of this was me plus
ultra" but owing to Columbus dis
covery of America. this had to be
changed This dollar was known as
tfs, cannon dollar by the Moors, who
wistook the pillars for cannon.
1t is thought by some that the two
pillars on this dollar are the origin
Of the upright lines In tho dollar mark.
Other suggestions are that the mark
represents p. SHAT 10 the Spanish
peso, or possibly U. 8. combined.
Most probably, however. It represents
the sign for the Roman unit Of money,
the sestertius. The sign was III s."
and meant ~. because q sestertius
was equal to 27a asses; the "as" being
another Roman coin.
This Spa nish dollar was current for
a time even in Australia; 1t was COM
mon In America at the time of the
war of independence.
The story Of the United States dol
lar Is we'll known. A dollar unit was
fixed by an act Of congress in 1892. The
first silver dollar was coined in 1894.
By an act Of 1s49 the coinage Of gold
dollars was ordered and in 1873 the
gold dollar was made the unite Of
value.
In 1873 the silver dollar was demon
etized and from that date there were
two standards. It was in this agita-
ton that the silver dollar got the name
of "the dollar Of the fathers" soon
turned into "the dollar Of the daddies."

MALONE TO REPRESENT

Tammany Leadership If Attempt to

With o'Gormon az Boss.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Nov. S.-The vicissi-
tudes OF politics in Greater New York
may divide the House Of O'Gorman
against itself.
Since the crushing defeat Of Tam
many and the victory of John Purroy
Mitchell, politicians in Washington see
visions Of Senator OGorman and his
brilliant young son-inlaw, Dudley
Field Malone. arrayed against each
+; other fighting with daggers drawn. the
administration antagonistic to O'Gor-
man and at the same time backing up
| Malone.
Now that Tammany has gone down
to defeat. there is no question the
movement to reorganize that society
and GUST Murphy will take on gree
strength. Senator O'Gorman is the
, man most mentioned here to succeed
Murphy. He is a Tammany man of
standing and many of his friends are
now strongly urging him for the Lead
ership.
On the other hand, Malone. who came
out strongly for Mitchell. is mentioned
for collector Of the port to succeed
Mitchell.
Use Malone to Whip o'Gorman.
If Malone gets this place, he vii; be
the administration representative in
Greater New York. If O'Gorman gets
the Tanmany leadership and the adj
ministration continues its hostility to
Tammany. the situation presented will
be one wherein the administration is
using Malone to lambast the organiza-
ton OF which his father-in-iaw IL r.e
head.
Senator O'Gorman Is not eager for
the leadership Of Tammany. He does
not want the Job. He knows 1t IL a
hard and thankless task. He may de-
cline to take 1t but talk today is that
II may be forced on him. II he does
decline. that will eliminate any likeli-
hood OF friction between himself and
the husband Of his daughter. On the
other hand. friends OF Senator OGor-
man point out. reorganized Tam
many under him might not have the
White House hostility. at least not to
the extent there would be any open
war on 1t. Moreover. there will be CD.
position in some quarters to Malone
for collector. Some OF the friends Of
other candidates hold he is too young
for the job.

Invent. an Artificial Kidney.


very ingenious device which may
prove of the greatest value in foiling
the efforts Of attempted suicides has
just been perfected by Prof. w. w.
Abel, head Of the department Of phar-
macology Of John Hopkins University.
1t performs all the functions Of the
human kidney. and the professor has
accordingly christened 1t the artificial
kidney"
When a physician Is summoned to
the side Of a person who has attempted
to commit suicide It is often quite I'M
possible to ascertain at once the par
ticular poison which the would-be sui
eide has taken. and the delay may
prove fatal. The use Of the stomach
pump. the only recourse where the ma
ture Of the poison Is doubtful, may
be quite inadequate in some cases,
whereas simple antidote would save
the patients life If the poison in ques-
ton could be identified.
DR.. Abels device will enable ply
stefan to obtain the desired informa-
ton almost Immediately. 1t consists
Of a series Of tubes and coils which
are connected with the jugular vein
and the carotid artery in such way
that the patients blood stream flows
depriving his system OF any Of 1t.
The apparatus. while still connected
with the patient is submerged in a
saline solution. One section Of the
tube is made Of a porous substance
thru which the foreign or poisonous
substances in the blood stream readily
filter into the saline solution. This
solution is kept 1T the same tempera-
ture as the lymph in the blood, and it
therefore takes up mono Of the nj iifas
ingredients Of which the blood stream
Is composed.
After q few minutes enough Of the
poisonous substances In the blood has
filtered thru the tubes into the saline
solution TO enable the physician. by
simple chemical analysis Of the eolu-
ton, to ascertain Just what poison the
patient il suffering from.
The new apparatus has been thor
oughly tested on animals and has
proved most successful There is abb
solutely no danger involved in the use
Of 1t on human beings.
