Of radium lands an impossibility be-

A letter from George j. Jordan, Of

How Marbles are Made.
The Continent.

L nc NOHllIlclll
OF course every real boy plays
marbles, but not every boy knows
how they are made. Many are Of
baked clay, porcelain or glass, but
the original marbles were fashioned
from the substance from which they
take their name, and many are still
made of it, and in great quantities
in SaXOny, for export to India,
China and the United States. A
hard stone containing carbonate of
lime is used. This is broken into
and fifty of these blocks are thrown
square blocks and about one hundred
into a mill, in which is a fiat slab Of
stone with many circular burrows
on it's face. A block of oak of the
same diameter as the stone a part
Of which rests on the small stones,
is made to revOlve on the slab while
water flows upon it. The whole pro-
cess requires but a quarter of an
hour and one mill can turn out
twenty thousand marbles week
The mills at Oberstein, on the Nahe
in Germany, manufacture marbles
and agatcs especially for the Ameri-
can market.

BURNS DENOUNCES BLEASE.
Olina Governor Would be Menace i'm
Senate.
Atlanta Georgian.

Atlanta Georgian.
Vigorous denunciation of Governor
Cole Blease, Of South Carolina, whom
he characterized as a barking dog
who doesn't bite" was launched We'd
nesday by William ]. Burns, head of
the Burns Detective Agency.
Detective Burns arraignment of
Governor Blease came when a news
paper man asked him if he came
through South Carolina en- route to
Atlanta.
II carne from st. Louis" said Mr..
Burns. 1T seems there is a fellow in
South Carolina-what's his name?
Oh, yes, Blease!-who doesn't like
me because I've told the truth about
him.
However, that fellow is the least
of my worries. He is a barking dog
that doesn't bite; he talks and rants
and busters around, and yells about
what he is going to do-and then
tucks his tail beenath his legs and
runs when you say, Boo at him."
Mr.. Burns attention was called to
the fact that Governor Blease con-
templates entering the race for Unit
ed States senator. He expressed his
surprise.
Il hadn't heard about that" he re-
marked. Il have understood that for
the last few years the people have
been trying to clean up the United
States senate instead Of besmirching
it. To elect that fellow to the senate
would be a disgrace to American cit
izenship.
Il don't think the people Of SOut,,
Carolina have so far deteriorated in
intelligence that they will elect =
man Of that fellows type to the Unit
ed States senate, where many men
who have been good men have work
ed.
However, if he should be elected,
South Carolina would be in the
unique position of having two SEN
atOrs and being represented by one
for that fellow Blyease doesn't repre-
sent anybody any time, but himself"

Honey as u Wholesome Food.

About 60 pounds Of sugar on the
average is annually consumed by
every man. woman, and child in the
United States. OF course, many use
less than the average, but to make
up for IL some consume several times
as much. 1t is only within the last
few centuries that sugar has become
known, and only within the last gen.
Grafton that refined sugars have be-
come so low in price that they may be
commonly used in the poorest fami-
lies. Formerly honey was the principal
sweet. and it was one of the items
sent as propitiatory Offering by
Jacob to his unrecognized son, the
chief ruler Of Egypt, three thousand
years before the first sugar-refinery
was built.
IL would be greatly for the health
OF the present ger Grafton if honey
could be at least partially restored to
Its former place as a common article
OF diet. The almost universal craving
Tor sweets OF some kind shows q real
need of the system in that direction /;
but the excessive use of sugar brings
In its train a long list of Ills. Besides
the various disorders of the ailmen-
tary canal. that dread scourge,
Brights disease OF the kidneys, is
credited with being one Of The results
OF sugar-eating. When cane sugar is
taken into the stomach, it can not be

The enrolment in the high

Chicago was secured. Miss
Kribs has had a number of

then out OF doors. Mr.. w. w.
