A KIPLING EDITORIAL.

The tale that Rudyard Kipling. in con-

wrote 30 years or so ago, The Naulahka,
might well be read by those who. not

Re-reading the tale, which for adventur-
Gus interests and style compares with any
of the dime-novel masterpieces of Steven

stay in the United States lie had settled
down in Vermont, and he had Il more OBJ

Captains Courageous. the romance of the
fishing feet out of Gloucester.
No one save the late Stephen Crane
seized the American characteristics as he
did. In this tale entitled The NauIahka,
which begins in Topaz, Colo, and ends in
the Rajputana, India, he has an Ameri-

Scientists in the University of Chi
lcagO have succeeded in breaking down
one element of matter and turning it
into another. BY using a powerful
electric current, to create tempera-
ture hotter than the fires of the sun.
they have changed the metal tungsten
used for the filaments of electric
light bulbs-into helium. The latter is
the gas used in recent years by the
United States government to initiate bal
looms. 1t is very light and nOn-infam-
mable 1t has been found existing only
in certain southern gas wells. Did ma

chemists have done?

man can crack an atom and resolve it
into something else, hope is expressed
again that some way may be discovered
to tap the atomic force" of the uni
verse 1t is held by modern scientists
that in every atom of matter there is
potential energy inconceivably great, so
that we might run our factories or
trains or airplanes with but a little
water or air if we only knew how to
extract the bottled power of the oxy-
gen. hydrogen or nitrogen.
Man will probably find out the secret,
but not yet a while. For man seems to
discover whatever he needs to know just
about when he is ready for it, and not
before.
There is probably a Providence or
Law that governs such matters. Sup
pose that section of weak, selfish,
warning humanity nowadays obtained
the secret of iIlimitable mechanical
power. What would the discoveries do
with it? Use it, perhaps, to tyrannizc
over the rest of humanity. Or possibly
wreck the race, or destroy the earth.
Moral ruin, at least, would almost surely
result, even if fair distribution were
made of the benefits, when the race was
suddenly freed from the need of its
usual labor, and had all its habits and
standards changed over night. 1t is
better to have all changes, even changes
for the better, come slowly, so that they
can be assimilated as they come. Given
few hundred or a few thousand more
years, perhaps we may safely hitch our
wagons to an atom.

A Reduction in Gas Rates.
(Barre Times.)

Reduction of gas rates in Rutland
from $40 to $500 per thousand feet
has left the gas consumers of that city
in a pleasurable frame of mind as well
it might. This lower rate, taken in con-
junction with discount of 10 per cent
on bills paid within a certain stipulated
time, makes a rate of S1.9S per thous-
and. Officials of the gas-producing
company assert that the reduction
would probably have been made during
the coming summer but the change was
brought about sooner through the pro-
test of Rutland citizens through a spe-
cial committee A case of public opin-
ion, backed up by facts, it would seem.
