HIS JOB A THANKLEss ONE
German Emperor Thinks His Efforts
Are Misunderstood by His
Subjects.

The fourth volume Of the speeches
of Emperor William, delivered from
1906 to 1912, has appeared, its 326
pages crowded with addresses and
toasts on all kinds Of subjects. sus-
tanning his reputation as the greatest
royal speechmaker Of the era.
Among the most interesting and
characteristic passages in the collec-
ton is the following, says an ex-
change:
"The world belongs to the living

Radium and les Manufacture.

Although, until recently, the manu-
facture of radium has been carried on
almost wholly in France and Ger
many. there appears to be no good
reason why our American carnotite
should not be treated at home, says s.
writer. Carnotite is much more easily
treated than pitchblende and the es-
sential features of methods foc its
| chemical treatment are well known
although much Of the mechanical de-
tail of operation has been Kept secret.
AS the mechanical requirements, how
ever, are those which any we'll ground
ed chemical engineer should be able
to solve, there seems to be no goo0
reason why any Of our carnotite ores
should be shipped abroad, even at
two or three times the present mar
ket price of the material.

MOST VALUABLE GOLD PENNY

The most valuable penny IN the
world is the gold penny OF Henry

Chester, was issued, commanding the
mayor of London to proclaim in tnat

1t appears, however, that the time
was by no means favorable for the is
sue of pieces Of a denomination SC
much higher than had previously
been known. Accordingly, the city
of London petitioned against these
coins. and the king issued a proclama
ton that no one should be obliged u
accept them. The coins, neyerthe
less, continued to be current, and II
1865 their value was raised from Y
to "a pence; probably equivalent II

HIS FASHION
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Professor Singleton sat crouched
over his microscope. To the observer
he would have seemed to be studying
only a tiny spot of jelly upon a slide.
The professor, however. was looking
into a thickly populated world. The
drop Of jelly, like the world, was
round, and within it several millions
of the spiranthea Jacksonii e put
ting on wings.
This transformation Of the spiran-
thea, which identified them with an
other species hitherto believed to be
separate, had never before been WIZ
messed.
Singleton was forty-two. A rich man,
he had devoted himself for years to
his scientific Investigations. OF late
however. ever since his marriage, the
year before, to a charming society girl
who had devoted her whole care to his
welfare, he had insensibly been drawn
away from his hobby. That he had
shamefully neglected Mary did not oc
cur to him. He lived for his research
es. Mary lived for him. She hae
abandoned all her old friends. 'excep'
the Streets. George Street and sne
had been great friends before her mar
riage, and surprise had been felt tina
she had chosen the professor.
For two whole days and a night Sin
gleton had bent over his microscope
He had not slept; he had eaten there
slipping beef tea and hot milk whic
his wife brought him. Now at last b
was to be rewarded. Spiranthea wa
undoubtedly passing from the larvs
into the pupal stage, and from ina
into the full.fedged image. Ten gel
erat,ons had died while he sat there
ten had been born. and the tenth wa
accomplishing what every scienti'
had denied.
:, Suddenly Professor Singleton hear
George Streets voice in the next roor
and Mary's answering. There W;
nothing strange in that, except for IL
tone and the hour. The hour was mi

from science to devote his life to her;
but scientist though he was he was
also a human being.
Then in a moment he had forgotten,
for he saw a curious movement among
the %animalculae in the jelly drop, and
his eye was glued to the glass again.

Streets voice continued. HE lives for
himself alone"

Mary responded. He lives for

"And. like a Moloch, it immolates
Its victims upon Its affairs. You are

Professor Singleton sat bolt up
right In his chair. For a moment he
had forgotten his researches. He
looked around him. His eye fell upon
a Malay kriss hanging upon the wall,
which a friend had sent him from
Borneo. 1t was long, with a keen,
Jagged edge, waved like the edge Of a
bread knife. II such a weapon as that
