restrlaI objects. H..

In an address to electrical engineers
In London a distinguished scientist
thus defined an electron. An atom Is
ordinarily associated with charge,
and force Is required to separate the
charge from the atom. The atomic
charge when separated is called an
electron. In an electrolyte|i e, a
substance decomposed by an electric
current-there is bodily transfer OF
atoms with their charges; In metal
lie conductor the charges are handed
on as electrons from atom to atom.
In the, discharge through highly rare
fed gases the electric current Is in
its most simple form, for here there
is a flow of electrons, travelling by
themselves, Of disembodied charges or
electric ghosts. Electrons, 1t should be
added, are the fastest moving OF all
known terrestrial objects, their speed
being one-tenth that of light, which
is 10000 miles per second.-Washing-

Submarine ThaWinQ.

The use of electricity for thawing
frozen water pipes of city houses is
no longer uncommon, An unusual
undertaking, however.s was the sue
cessful application of the process to
a six-inch submarine main, LOO feet
long, that, resting on the bed OF the
East river, connects North Brother
island with New York city.
When an ordinary waterpipe Is to
be thawed both ends are cut, and the
passage Of comparatively small cleo
trio current through the resistant pipe
metal generates enough heat to melt
the ice in the pipe. Although the same
general plan was followed with the
frozen submarine main, all the condi-
lions were so differeat that it took
five days Of applying powerful electric
currents and of constant pumping
with a pressure Of eighty pounds to do
the work.

On q lonely island Of. the ooast Of

Confessions Of Beachcomber' and
other books, has died at the age OF
seventy. The crew Of the steamer In

landed and Mrs. Banfeld was found
to be the only inhabitant Of the island.
Her husband was dead. The crew
made q coffin out Of ships timber and
the chief officer read the burial service.
Mrs. Banfield refused to leave the IL
land, and the captain called for vol

offered, and the captain selected one
to remain. Some twenty-five years

BOON IN
CHEAP MONEY

One thing that has to be given up
is the idea that cheap money is al
ways good for business. Farmers
want cheap money, business men
want cheap money, stock spectators
want cheap money, the U. s. Treasury
wants to float government loans on
cheap money, socialists, anarchists
and old-line greenbackers want very,
very cheap money. Everybody feels
that when the money rate is showed
up 1t is an arbitrary damper on pros
perity.
But we cannot have both low rate
on money and a stable level of prices.
We can have one or the other-not
both together for any length OF time.
A low rate Of money means an In
flated price level. A stable price
level means a fuctuating rate OF dis
count. That is, the public must learn
to look at the price level instead OF
the bank reserves, as their measure
of expectation for rise or fall OF the
value of money.
Now this fact makes me feel that a
mistake IL mduc IL We w NV ANAAJ IN
plain to the public the power already
exercised by the bank rate and the
Federal Reserve Board and Reserve
banks. Our bankers and economists
see the bad use that is likely to be
made of political control IT banking
and currency and they try to make the
people believe that so intricate q CUES
ton must be left to experts.
AS a matter Of fact our present
methods encourage the very thing We
wish to avoid. We let everybody. be-

THE GREAT scouRGE

The soap-boxer told a half truth

Of others, was complete refutaion
of the lief only the other half of
the truth were told.
1t is true the factory was Capital
ixed-for a million dollars. The net
profits gave annual dividends OF 8
per cent, or 100000, to the stockhold-
ers. All that was true.
But 1t was also true that the mil
lion dollar capital was divided up
into ten thousand shares Of 800
each. The ownership Of these shares
was distributed among about one
thousand people. Several hundred of
them were workmen in the factory.
They were saving out of their weekly
wages and buying shares on the in
stalment plan. They were CapitaiIsts.
It was likewise true that shares
were also owned by workmen in other
factories, by clerical workers anG BY
small merchants. A good many ware

Black Rain.

One of the services Of science Ii In
destroying superstition, and notable
example Of this was afforded not long
ago in Ireland. On an October night
a fall of black rain, leaving inky pools
in the roads, occurred in many parts
Of the island. 1t was noted at the
famous observatory at Birr castle, and
an investigation Of the meteorological
conditions prevailing at the time fol-
lowed. The result was to show that
there had been a movement OF the
air all over the central part Of the
D1.tssb isles such as carry SCOT from

its color was due to the presence Of
