WRONG TO SHRINK FROM PAIN
Eminent English Divine Points Out
How Its Action Is for the Benefit
of All Mankind.

An address dwelling upon the value
and benefits of pain was delivered by
Doctor Inge, dean of st. Pauis, at the
annual meeting Of the Southwark
branch Of the Charity Organization so
ciety. says the London Globe.
"a revolt against pain" he said. is
one of the most prominent features in
our life at the present time. We dis
like the very thought Of pain as our
ancestors did not dislike 1t. and we
shrink from INJECTING it even with good
reason. The recollection of pain suf-
fered is safeguard; and in other ways
pain is the best effectual means that
could be devised to protect us against
various dangers.
ct is quite clear that God does not
consider death to be an evil or an in
justice, and it is equally clear that he
intended his creatures to suffer pain.
Pain is condition that is most pre-
cious In this world. Would mother
hood be what III Is without pain and

RADIUM FOUND IN BALTIMORE
Gut Deposits, However, Are Not Ex-
pected to Be Commercially
Valuable.

A deposit OF radium bearing ore
within the city limits of Baltimore
may be seen by anyone who etrolls out
beyond the Wyman property. near Wy
man park, to the abandoned quarry,
(which was formerly known as Wyght's
quarry, says the Baltimore Sun.
Unfortunately the ore is not plenti-
1ful enough to make II worth while to
ie1tract the radium, according to. DR..
Joseph T. Singewald of the geological
department of Johns Hopkins univer-
sity.
That small deposits Of uranium ore
were to be found In the quarry has
been known for at least twenty-five
years, says Doctor Singewald, by the
Eavants of the Hopkins, but 1t is not
commercially valuable.
The ore is found In pegmatite bikes

Hero OF War OF 1879.

One hundred years ago Capt. David
Porter, one OF the naval heroes of the
War of 1872, was given great pop
ular ovation by the people OF Philadel-
phia. Ten days previously Captain
Porter had reached New York after
long and hazardous voyage from
Valparaiso, where on March 20, he
had commanded the frigate Essex in
heN gallant, but unsuccessful fight
against the British ships Phoebe and
Cherub. Upon their arrival in New
York, the surviving officers and mem
bers OF the crew of the Essex we're
given an enthusiastic welcome. From
New York Captain Porter proceeded
to Philadelphia, where another pop
ular ovation awaited him. On his ar
rival in the suburbs Of the city the
horses were taken from his carriage
and it was drawn to the hotel by the
populace.

composition 1t is now in the form OF
autunite, or uranium mica, so called
because it is composed OF thin fakes
like ordinary mica, but has greenisb
yellow tone that is unmistakable to
the expert in such things Radium is
extracted from autunite in a very
small way in Portugal.
The only important sources of ra-
dunn known at present are the pitch
blende mines in Austria and the car
hottie deposits in Colorado, Formerly
that carnotite ore was sent to Europe,
to be used for making dyes from the
uranium. Then II was found that the
European purchasers were getting
radium as well as dyes and there was
a great rush to get the radium mines.
A large part Of the deposits have been
reserved for the uses Of medicine and
science through the efforts of Doctor
Kelly working in conjunction with the
United States bureau OF mines.

He supposes that the sun

If today his voice were stilled
And in deaths embrace he lay,

And his hands were lifeless clay.
He supposes that all men

Wheels will cease TO turn, he thinks,
And the flags will wave no more
When within the grave he sinks

And the world, all darkened, grieves,
Not another rose will bloom.
