The Pirates
BY MINNA IRVING.

n 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 a corporation bare,
And wreck and sink a bank
And make, in the good old days.
The victims walk the plank
Though some of them have studied law
Or entered politics
And some in gided offices
Pursue their wicked tricks,
] know them for the savage souls
That scattered Blood and flame
From Holyhead to Panama
They re pirates just tile same

nounced, precisely the same asser-
tions were made that are now re-
peated with regard to Ramsay's
latest periment-namely, 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 ap-
pears to change. Thus it would
seem that, by some mysterious ac-
ton of the electric current, or of
the bombardment to which the NV
drogen atoms are subjected by the
dying 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 1t 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 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.
We Can Not Be Sure Yet.
But we can not be sure vet 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 it's rank if it could be
made at Will bur it is a good time
for every body to learn something
about chemistry. In many senses
science faces q revolution.

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; 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
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

TT 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 were
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,
nails through which the electric
current flowed, is a question still
to be finally settled.

Saturday.

Representatives of the Superior

the largest concerns in the country

Saturday and spent the day in taking
moving pictures of the many sights
of interest about the city. Pictures
were made of the city streets, the
park, some of our beautiful scenery
the fire department in fire run, the
Empire Theatre, and various other
places.
The plan is to have these pictures
made up into moving picture films
and exhibit them in the Empire
Theatre, under whose auspices they
were made, and afterward show
them in nearby towns. They will al
so be made part of the moving pic
ture representation of the state of
Iowa, which is being made up for
showing the state at the Panama Ex-
position at San Francisco in 1915
These pictures will be a good adver
tisement for DEBORAH.
Mr.. Wolfgram informs us that the
pictures will be shown at the Empire
and Airdome and will be here next
Monday.

How to Shake Hands.

Shaking hands is an art. Nothing
makes such an impression on a man
at the first meeting as a good, hear
ty handclasp. You can somehow
convey a world of meaning Iii the
way you shake hands. 1t is an I'M
failing index to character, and with
cut thinking or reasoning it out we
receive impressions which most of
us would be at loss to understand.
The psychology of the handclasp
is something which every salesman
ought to study. =.
Here are some of the things he
might avoid with good cause:
Don't grasp mans hand with a
yiselike grip and crush his fingers so
that he has to pry them apart and
then tie them up where his ring has
cut through the flesh.
Don't pump his arm up and down
for half hour.
Don't give him only three fingers
Use your whole hand.
Don't knock mis- knuckles on

of $1,000, which insures high grade
