HOW TO INVEST MONEY.
Exercise the Same Care You Would lr
 Buying a House.

Exercise the Same Care You Would lr
 Buying a House.
 One who has money to invest should know something of what he is buying Otherwise he is a mere gambler and would have a better chance to win if he played a game of cards for money All gambling Is reprehensible, though it must be conceded that speculation in sense is gambling. But this might be said of the purchase of real estate or any commodity of a changeable value.
 Let the investor make a study of business conditions. Watch the earn ings of the corporatio and the rail ways as reported in the newspapers. Note the trend of trade. Observe the transactions in prominent securities on edge of what is going on. Exercise the same care that you would in buy ing a horse. an automobile, a wagon or a house.
 Fortunes have been made by those who have pursued this method, and fortunes lost by those who have sim ply gone into speculation as if they were throwing dice. 1 well recall the era of railroad and industrial disturb ance over twenty years ago, when no body wanted to buy stocks and every body wanted to sell. Those who pick ed up the ''cripples," as they were then called, and held them until prosperity revived, made handsome profits, in some instances realizing more than ten times what they paid.-Jasper in Les lies

TOUGH OLD IRON.

The Famous Pillar In the Temple of Kutab Mnar at Delhi.
 There seems to be no doubt that the metal produced previous to the intro duction of modern methods was supe- rior in its resistance to corrosion to the present day product. I have seen vari- Ous iron articles, especially nails, which showed far less rust after an exposure of hundred years or So than the mod ern variety does in a few weeks.
 One article, an old f1intlock pistol was especially interesting It was found by friend in a patch of woods in Vermont and had evidently laid there for many years, since a piece of newspaper with the date 1796 had been used as wadding in loading it. All the Iron parts were rather rough and pit ted and covered with rust, but the arm was In surprisingly good shape consid- ering the conditions to which 1t had been subjected The spring, hammer and trigger were still capable of per forming their functions, and very little effort was required to put the old weapon in decidedly presentable condi- tion
 Perhaps one of the most noted of the iron articles which have come down to us from antiquity is the famous pillar in the temple of Kutab Minar at Delhi, India. This old shaft, which projects some thirty feet above the surface of the ground, was erected about 900 B. c. Today it shows little trace of rust, al- though it has had no protective coat ing other than that which the atmos- pere itself has formed upon it.-L. o. Wilson in Engineering Magazine.

OLD LIBERTY BELL,
1t Is Not Only Cracked, but Is Suffer
 ing From Metal Sickness.

1t Is Not Only Cracked, but Is Suffer
 ing From Metal Sickness.
 '"The Liberty bell is suffering from the disease of metals," says the Iron Age. This is due to several causes. The famous bell was badly cast in the first instance and was recast thrice by amateurs, who changed the compost tiOn of the metal with each recasting. The first crack appeared when the bell was tolling on the occasion of the funeral of Chief Justice John Marshall. In 1909 it was discovered that the crack had extended to double it's orig inal length.
 The bell has been transported to a distance on six occasions and has been clipped by many vandal souvenir hunt CTS. It's trips did it no good, as more or less rough handling was scarcely avoidable
 When the new crack appeared Alex ander D. Outerbridge, IT,, an expert metallurgist, was called in to examine it. When it was planned to ship it to San Francisco for the Panama exhibi- tion Mr. Outerbridge was again sum- moned, and on his report it was deter mined to keep it henceforth in Inde- pendence hall. In his latest report Mr. Outerbridge says:
 'It is no hyperbolical figure of speech to say that the venerable Liherty bell is affected with serious disease. Metal lurgists have adopted into technical phraseology the term diseases of met als' and recognize several such mala dies. I myself have, no hesitation in saying that the bell has distemper. which should insure it's most careful preservation from all shocks such as it would be subject to in a long journey"
 The Iron Age says that with each of the remeltings to which the bell was subjected it lost largely in tensile strength. residence. etc. MT. Outer bridges experiments show that pure copper loses 50 per cent of it's tensile strength by three remeltings. The Lib erty bell was recast three times, and perhaps even at that time it had all ready been attacked by the disease that has been eating into it's copper and tin vitals ever since.

The philosophic term "necessitarians' Is used to denote those persons that deny the freedom of will and assert that in human conduct all volitions are determined by motives that obey the law of causation as invariably as do the forces of nature. The word "determinists" was suggested as a substitute by John Stuart Mill and has been very generally adopted. - New York American.
