The capricious Censor.

Men are not fit to be recording
angels of books or Of anything else.
We find it hard enough to look after
ourselves without looking after other
people; and the censor himself needs
a censor just as much as the authors
who are his victims. Who Is to insure
that his sense of propriety is just or
that his political or religious opinions
are right? The answer is, No one; and
so, finally, his authority is and must
be on basis of nothing. He is ap-
pointed, he has an office, he has power
but he does what he chooses, usually
without knowing why. In practice
there is nothing more capricious than
censorship and so nothing more futile.

Splendid Gem Collection.

The National museums collection OF
precious stones had its origin in 1884,
when an exhibit of American precious
stones was prepared for the New Or
leans exposition. In 1891 the greater
part of the, collection of DR.. Joseph
1.eidy was purchased by the museum
and in 1894 Mrs., Frances Lea Cham
berlain .bequeathed to the museum a
collection Of precious stones assem-
bled by her father, DR.. Isaac Lea. Her
husband, DR.. L. T. Chamberlain, added
u large number Of specimens, and on
his death bequeathed sum of money,
the income of which is to be used for
their further increase. Individual
gifts and transfers from the geological
survey have further augmented the
material, and it is hoped that through
individual action the collection may
be expanded and diversified until it is
second to none.

The Wicked Crow.

According to the opinion Of the Brit
ish Agricultural department, the crow
must be classed as criminal. In a
biography Of the bird, issued by the
department, it says: ''Its ability to
commit such misdeeds as pulling corn
and stealing eggs and fruit and to get
away unscathed is little short OF mar
velous. Much Of the crows success in
life is due to cooperation, and the So
cial instinct Of the species has its
highest expression In the. winter
roosts, which are sometimes frequent
ed by hundreds of thousands of crows.
From these roost3 daily flights OF
many miles are made in search OF
food. In it's destruction Of insects the
crow often renders good service, but its
vicious habit Of destroying beneficial
wild birds and their eggs puts 1t on
the black list"

In Cathedral Shadows.

There is a mystic gloom about st.
Patricks cathedral at night, writes the
New York correspondent of the Indian
apolis Star. The corners are filed
with shadows-fanciful, elusive, but
rather comforting. There is world
of silence among the empty aisles and
shadowy arches relieved only by the
faint glow Of the many devotional can
dies. Every football is an agony, and
shoes creak that never creaked be-
fore. One almost expects to see a
Florentine monk or beautiful nun in
meditation in the shadowy corners.
The Waterman tiptoes silently about
to see that none of the candles have
gone out. On summer night the
spires of the cathedral rise dreamily
to the heavens. at times silvered by a
pale moon. At all hours of the night
people come and go, the men remOv-
ing their hats as they begin to mount
the steps.

THE cast is one of the strongest ever
assembled for single picture

ed by Joseph Schildkraut, Frank Lo-
see, Catherine Emmett, Lucille La
Verne, Sheldon Lewis. Morgan Wal
lace, Frank Puglia, Creighton Hale
Leslie King. Monte Blue, Sidney Her
bert, Leo Kolmeri, Adolphe Lestina
and Kate Bruce. Out Of 800 actors
and actresses who tried for places in
the picture, those who now appear

the fittest. <.a

SCIENCE FINDS NEW
WAY To PRODUCE SUGAR


LONDON. Dee. 2S.-Sugar may to-
day he obtained from soda water. the
aerated beverage which flows from
nickel-platei faucets in thousands OF
drug and candy stores throughout the
country, according to two English
scientists. who for nearly three years
have been conducting laboratory ex-
periments with the idea of dap.icat-
ing artifcally the work done by
plants in self-nourishment
1t always has been scientific mys-
terry how living plants build up the
sugar, necessary for their growth,
from the carbon dioxide or carbonic
acid. component part of the atmos-
phere, which they absorb. by mixing
it with carbohydrates and the starch
universally found in plants.
Their experiments convinced the
scientists. Professor f. c. Baly and
Professor Heilhren, that not only is i,
possible to produce formalderyde
from soda water by the action of very
short wave length light, but that it is
also possible to produce formalde-
hyde with ordinary sunlight in the
presence of malachite green. or other
appropriate coloring matter.
Carrying their investigation a little
farther they succeeded. by acting
uron soda water with ultraviolet
