RADIUM BUSINESS DISTURBED

, The European war has for the present.

market to American radium ores. As Is
well known, the uranium ores OF Colo

the miner might have had at least the
choice between two purchasers--SciencA

chance may come, leading to
tragedy.
II is something, of course,
that men may not carry con-

In some quarters the fact that Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador, held a long con-

mean that this government is resumng its efforts to
bring about peace in Europe. 1t is quite certain,
howeyer that the administration has gone as far as
it possibly go, under present conditions toward
restoring peace, Unless Count Won Bernstorf's mis-

I know man who few years ago, became dis.
turbed in his religious beliefs He had been brought
up very strictly by a religious mother. He had
married a religious woman. e.
Finally, he decided that he must change his re-
ligion. He must profess religion that had been
abhorrent to his mother, that was abhorrent to his
wife.
When he told his wife she was broken-hearfed
He explained that he must do his duty he saw it
But she not convinced. She thought he ought
to do his duty as she saw it
He loved his wife and he knew that his wife
loved him. But he followed what he believed to
be his duty His wife tormented him. Where there
had once been peace there was argument, that is,
on her side. The had sense enough not to
argue against feeling so deep-seated
Soon he found that his domestic happiness was

There is philosophy at work in the world
1t promises all human beings share in the heritage
of life, not merely a chance to work, to earn daily
bread, but chance to develop both body and mind.
Many the world over are accepting it.
One would think that faith in it would make
people generous
In many instances such is the result Some of
the finest characters I know profess the new faith
But others have allowed the faith to turn them
into angry zealots They speak as, imagine, the
religious zeaots of the Middle Ages spoke when they
denounced those who disagreed with them and re-
joiced over the burning of their fellowcreaures at

from Port Lopez, French Congo, where
he was marooned when the war broke
out. Mcdaniel went to Africa with a
party organized by J. c. Buffalo"

gorilla, for a New York zoo. Mcdaniel
was taken along to rope the apes.
The expedition was abandoned when
the war broke out and Mcdaniel and
others of the party were left at Port
Lopez without funds for so days. They
escaped on one of three English ships,
which Mcdaniel writes, was chased by
German cruisers which sank two of the
ships. Their ship. he says. was set on
fire by a shell, but the fire was con-
