SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY

Sir William Ramsaiy, one of the best known of British scientists and a member of the military inventions board headed by Admiral Lord will be 8 years old tomorrow. As a chemist he has few if any equals, and his discoveries in this branch of science have been numerous and inn portant. Sir William began an asgita- ton some months ago for the inclu- sion of cotton in the contraband list because it was used in the manufac- ture of gun cotton He declared that for rife ammunition alone Germany has to use 51 tons of cotton a day, and much greater quantity for ma chine guns, and still more for can non. He estimated that German con sumption of cotton in the manufac- ture of ammunition of all sorts prob ably amounted to 1,0O0 tons a day
 Sulphur and cotton, he says. are the only constituents of ammunition which Germany and Austria cannot supply from their own territory, or of which they have net ample sup plies on hand. He believes that to cut off the supply of cotton and sul- phur to the central empires would speedy success for the Allies. Sir William has constantly urged the British government to make greater use of scientific men and methods in the conduct of the war. This is a conflict in which pure and applied chemistry plays highly important part, he says and he points out the fact that both Germany and France have thoroughly organized all the re- sources of the various scientific bod- ies in those countries. Two or three years ago Sir William warned the government that in case of war Great Britain would soon be brought to a standsti1l for want of ammunition. On that occasion he asserted that England faced "a, terrible danger '
 and urged the government to estab~
 Hsh extensive ammunition factories of it's own. y3

HUMAN RUAfINANTs

The first case of human rurrai- nant reported in a scientific Journal was that of Roger Gill, a cobbler of Dorsetshire, whose death was report ed in the British Annual Register un- der date of Oct. I, I767. In ancient times and in the middle ages men who chewed the cud were appar- ently far from rare, but modern science would be prone to dismiss such tales were they not supported by evidence of more recent times. Roger Gill died after suffering great tortures'' due. to the loss of his strange faculty. According to the Registers account, the shoemaker was remarkable for chewing his meat or, cud twice over, as an OK, sheep, or cow.s He usually began his second chewing about a quarter or half an hour, sometimes later, after dinner: when every n1orseI came up successfEe1y, sweeter and sweeter to the taste. Som metimes norseI would prove offensive or. crude, in which case he spat it out The chewing continued usually about an hour or more, and Sometimes would leave him a little while, in which case he would be sick at his stomach. Many other and later instances might be cited of men who have been t.broth4 ers'' to the OK in the possession Of this faculty.

THE GAP BETWEEN
 EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYED

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has eaten, washed, slept and dug coal with his Colorado miners. The experience will do him good. Such visits to his unrest and absentee ownership in a great industry.
 In most cases the unfortunate chasn between capital and labor can not thus be bridged. 4 plant may be owned by thousand different persons, most of whom possess but a few shares of stock. It might take all the stockholders dividend to visit the place and see how his work peo- pie are farfng. Ownership has split up all over the country, and the cor poration has ceased to have an in sible and never get together to con sider any general policy
 In the old days the manager of a business lived on the spot. If there were grievances, he talked 1t out face to face, which helped adjust nents. Today the executive manage ment is commonly given to officers who may own but Q few shares in the company. Their success depends on maintaining or increasing divi- dends. They are not in so good a position to grant favors as an indi- viduaI owner would be.
 The stockholder is pictured as 9 hard-hearted and indifferent task master. Actually he may be kind and charitable. He knows nothing about the business save the few details g1eaned from a routine annual re- port How far is he responsible for the condition of the work people What can he do for their welfare?
 Corporation stockholders may we'll reflect that the best results are ob- tained only on a basis of a comfort able working population. If the em- ployes are housed in a sordid tene- ment slum, unsanitary and forbidding, there will be discontent, Stookhold- CTS may we'll make it clear to their hired mana gers that they favor a, lib eral policy, not merely from motives of humanity, but as the best business policy in the long run.

ANTHONY J. ID. RIDDLE FAVORS CHRISTIANITY
 WITH A PUNCH

Anthony J. Drexe1 Riddle, the Phil adelphia millionaire and society man who has so often startled the ataid citizens of the Quaker City by preaching and practicing Christianity with a punch" was born Al years ago today, Oct. 1, 1874. The idea of pounding piety into youths with box ing gloves is not entirely original with the prominent PhiladeIphian, for Bendigo, Ben Hogan and other converted pugilists'' have in the past sought to, link the church and the prize ring, but MT. Riddle has been most successful in spreading his
 novel project. His ideas has been adopted in many cities in America and Europe and has been found use fuI in interesting young men in reIg- ion The Philadelphia evangelist of athletic Christianity declares that religion, with a punch to it'' has been practiced ever since David had his famous bout with Goliath. He points to Christ's raid upon the nnoney-changers of the Temple as an illustration of the kind of Christianity he believes in, and he conceives the Jesus of the Gospel to be, not a weak, lamblike, creature of the popular inn agination, but a strong man, leap able of routing an entire household of eviIdoers, smashing their unhoIy furniture, thrusting them bodily from the sacred precincts and hurling down the steps of the house of God those who would forcibly dispute with him the right to eject a gang that had turned a house of prayer into a den of thieves
 MT. Riddle has had a busy career, aside from his devotion to religion and aoxing. Born with golden spoon in his mouth, he has dabbIed in many arts and professions. In his youth he lived for some time in the Madeira Islands, and his two-volune work on conditions there won for him fellowship in the Royal Geographical Society of England While still a boy he joined the staff of a, Phi1adel- phia paper, and afterward edited the Sunday Graphic and established publishing house of his own. In his literary essays he shows great yer 'satility, for. besides his geographical publicati tions, he has written stories, fairy books, and a work on athletics. As 9 boxer he has taken part in con tests with .'Phi1adelphia Jack O,Brien, t'Bob'' F,itzsimmons, and other stars of the professional ring. It is as the preacher of muscular Christianity however. that MT. Bid-s de is chiefly famous.

kuROPATKlN GETS
 MILITARY HONOR
 FROM PETROGRAD

7 London, Oct. 1-General Alexi Ku- ropatkin has been appointed chief of the Russian grenadier corps. accord ing to a Reuter- despatch from Petro- grad.
 When Emperor Nicholas assumed supreme command of the Russian military forces in succession to Grand Duke Nicholas, it was reported from Berlin that the actual control of the army had been placed in the ex- per1enced hands of General Kuropat- kin and General Po1ivanoff minister of war.
 If the report from Retregrad re- garding General Kuropatkin is true, it means a somewhat remarkable revers- al of public opinion in Russia regard ing military leader who was dis g1-aced because of the failure of Rus sian arms in the war with Japan. His poor success as commander of Rus sia's army in Manchuria while it seemed astonishing to military ex- perts at that time, is believed to have been largely attributable to his sub jection to the superior command of Admiral Alexeiv, Russian victor in the far east and to internal affection among the generals.
