Energy Released in Combustion.

A piece of coal releases, during COM
busti0n, enough energy to lift itself
about 1000 miles, or say from New
York to Panama, vertically upward
against constant sea level gravitation.
A piece of hydrogen, our most ener-
getic combustible, releases In combus-
ton an amount of energy capable of
lifting about four times as far, or to a
vertical distance against sea level
gravitation) roughly equal to the dis
lance from New York to Manila.
But q piece of radium emanation
yields without any combustion an
amount of energy In the process of it's
evolution that would lift it against sea
level gravitatf0n, not only to the sun,
but to the orbit of the planet Neptune,
the outside fencepost of the solar sys-
tenn, and which Is about thirty times
further from the sun than the earth is.

"MuqWump."

The modern word mugwump is de-
rived from the Algonquin "mug-
quomp," meaning a great man, a
chief, and is said to have been used
among the Indians and whites OF
Massachusetts, and Connecticut in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The word was later used in humor-
Gus, or satirical sense, and was APP
piled to person who thought him
self Of consequence and Importance.
In this sense the word was long in
local use and often appeared in print.
In U. s. political history the term was
first applied in 18S4lto the Independent
members of the Republican party who
openly refused to support the nomi-
nees Of the party for president Of the
United States, and either voted for
the Democratic or Prohibition party or
abstained from voting. The word was
not generally known in any sense be-
fore that time, but it caught the popu-
lar fancy and was at once accepted
by the independents themselves as an
honorable title.

PLENTY OF ROOM IN TRUNK
Small Receptacle Once Sufficed to
Carry All the Worldly Goods Of
Noted New Engiander.

Following the discovery, not long
ago, Of an interesting old trunk In
which Daniel Webster carried his legal
papers comes the finding Of another
old trunk that George Nixon Briggs,
a former governor Of Massachusetts,,
carried on his back when he pill
grimaged from the town of Hudson,
N. Y, to Adams, Mass, there to begin
studying law. Governor Briggs has
not remained so fixed in memory as
Daniel Webster, but he was famous
man In his time, and is interesting
today because at the national tenn
perance convention in 1882 he took a
stand for total abstinence. Later, as
president of the Massachusetts Legis-
lative Temperance society, he marched
in procession through the streets Of
Boston, although on this occasion there
is no record that he carried his trunk.
The trunk, incidentally, is one of the
little ones common a hundred years
ago, and Governor Briggs in Inter
years repaired it, and affixed card
telling how he had brought IL with him
to Massachusetts. SIT contained" he

WON FAME AS ADMINISTRATORS
Sir William Macgregor Will Long BE
Remembered for His Good Work
in West Africa.

Sir William Macgreg0r was not the
least of the bits of good luck which
this empire owes to the Scottish strain
of it. In the far-sundered areas OF
West Africa and the Western Pacific
he achieved distinction which will not
pass.
The world knew more of him as Pa
-cific high commissioners than as gov.
ernor of Lagos, but to many Europeans
In West Africa, and to those folk OF
long memories, the African races, he
will always be Macgregor of Lagos the
pioneer sanitarian who began proc
esses which have made Lagos a place
livable for the European and more
livable than ever before to It's teem-
ing African population.
The pedant may say that "circum-
spice" scarcely applies where the bene-
factor has only cleansed air and roads
and purified water sources; neverthe-
less, to no man could it be attached
more fifty than to Macgregor for his
work in that steady hive Of activity.
The natives had real affection for
him, for they knew he believed In
them, and Africans, like most other
sons of Adam, esteem that even above
good drains and pure water. He had
a very clear appreciation of the ter
rible danger of German rule In the
tropics just because of it's thorough
ness.
There are endless stories Of him on
the coast. One is Of an official who,
after a tour in the bush, told the gov
ernor of an exceptional juju he had
seen-"exactly like human being,
sir, only, of course, Of wood"
'Nane sac exceptional" Macgregor
remarked, and followed 1t up with a
chuckling soliloquy. "I've seen some in

Weak Kidneys Make
Weak Bodies
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills of Edgert0n People.


AS one weak link weakans a chain,
so may weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final break
ing down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened, the
whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an ever-increasing tendency towards
dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's dis
ease. When the kidneys tail there is
no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
s Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys.
No need to take the statement of
someone living far away as evidence.

GEN. GRAVES HOLDS
 UP GUN SHIPMENTS
American Commander RetaliateS for Russian Outbreaks

Omsk, Sept. 23, (By Associated Press )-Major Gen. William $. Graves, commander of American forces in Siberia in retaliation for al- legged scurrilous articles published in a Vladivostok newspaper, and hostile acts of Cossack chiefs in the Far East has held up shipment of the IA, 900 rifles which recently arrived at Vladi- vostok from America consigned to the all-Russian government at Omsk.
 Giving notice of his action by tele- graph through Major Slaughter, his representative here, Gen. Graves, in direct and forceful language, declares he will personally cause the arrest of the offending editor and the suppress sion of the newspaper the GOlOs Rod ini unless the OmSk government does so. He asserts further that until the activity of the Cossack chiefs is con- trolled he will recommend that Amer ica refuse to render further assistance to Russia. Gen. Graves says he will retain the army until advised as to what action the Omsk government proposes to take.
 In replying, the Omsk government
 
 constitutes diplomatic and not a mil itary problem which should be ap- preached through recognized diplo- matic channels and that the govern ment therefore, awaits a communica- ton from the state department at Washington. It says that mot wish ing to formulate any recriminations. it will not enter into an argument which might impair the lively sym pathy which it believes has been awakened in America for the cause of Admiral KOlchak."
 In respect to the holding up of the shipment of rifles the government eX- presses astOnishment that local trou- bles in the Far East, which the gov ernment regards as an international problem and not a purely Russian one should impel Gen. Graves to take steps which might jeopardize a more far reaching and more vital undertak- ing, namely the suppression of Bolshe- Vism at the critical moment when Si- berian troops arc conducting a suc- ceSsful offensive It is pointed out that General Graves course is pecul- 1arly astonishing in view of the fact
