The Marry-GO-ROund

Because he hath kissed a
damsel, and is filled with self
reproach.
Because he hath NOT sue
ceeded in kissing a damsel and
is filled with curiosity and the
pride of conquest.
Because she is the only
woman at hand, and he seeketh
companionship.
Because he is bored by many
women, and seeketh escape.
Because he is lucky and
yearneth to celebrate.
Because he is miserable-and
yearneth for consolation.
Because a damsel doth not
want him.
Because he feareth some other
man may get her.
Because he is poor and lonely,
because he is rich and happy,
because he is young and I'M

weary, because he needeth a
Stimulant, because he needeth a

Verify, verify, it is never love,
alone; but the woman, the mood
or the accident, which drivetn a
man into marriage.
For no man over 18 and un-

mony in cold blood and with his

The purpose Of science is to
discover those principles in the
operation of natural phenomena
which may be accurately termed
laws. Although science just
now is discovering certain types
of physical behavior which ap-
pears to be erratic, the fault lies
less in the phenomena them
selves, probably, than in the
explanation.
The machinery devised by
science for explaining the phe-
nomena, whether the machinery
consists af actual models or
mathematical equations, is
clearly imperfect. 1t doesn't
cover all the facts, but only the
parts of them which are known.
1t is the unknown facts which
have not been accounted for,
that throw a monkey wrench
into the machinery.
In spite of these puzzling
phenomena - such as ether,
quanta, radiant energy. light
pulses, the principle of indie
terminacy, certain exceptions to
the doctrine of caSualty-it is,
nevertheless, the belief of sci
entists generally that nature Is
governed by law.
Most Wonderful Fact
Regarding natural law, W. w.
Campbell says: IF I were asked
to name and describe the most
wonderful fact known to man,
my reply would be: So far as
our observations and experiences
go, every particle of matter in
the physical universe is en-
doWed with the property and
necessity of obeying the funda-
mental laws Of nature.
Our universe of stars, our
own star and our earth in all
it's parts have been developed
throughout long ages to their
present state under the guild
ance and compulSion of per-
fectly definite and apparently
simple laws. We have no rea-
son to suppose that these laws
are ever set aside or varied in
the slightest degree.
From time to time, science
finds it necessary and highly
desirable to take stock of the

The Scientific DecaIOque

new laws which have been dis
covered. r. A. Millikan now
puts forward a list Of the Ten
Scientific Commandments, upon
which rest the latest advances
in modern physics. These laws
have been discovered within the
past century. They furnish the
basis for argument about many
new phenomena, notably the
cosmic rays, the special object
of Millikan'S study.
First came the principle OF
conservation of energy. When
Count Rumford found that heat
was a mode of motion, he put
his finger upon the principle Of
the equivalence of heat and
energy.
Heat-Death Of Universe
Second the famous principle
Of ran dom esS, generally
known as the second law Of
thermodynamics." This is the
foundation for the theory OF
the heat-death of the universe.
Third, the law of evolution,
which has had it's greatest tri-
umphs in the field of biology.
Fourth, the discovery that
elements are not immutable.
Elements change-notably ra-
dium into lead.
Fifth, the discovery that the
earth had an origin not lnt1n'
itely remote in time. There is
much evidence to show that the
earth is at least 1900, ,0OO,O 900
years old. w
Sixth, the interConVertlblllty
of mass and energy. Mass is a
function of velocity. Mass may
be interpreted as energy; and
vice versa.
Seventh, all go elements were
found to be made up OF the
same building material, the
brick" being the hydrogen
atom.
Eighth, the discovery that
the enormous amount of en-
ergy generated by sun and stars
is due to the breaking down Of
the interior structure of matter
through the self-destructive
pairing Of positive and negative
particles of electricity.

From Mining and Industrial
 Record
 Notwithstanding all the talk about the low price of this once precious metal, silver has been going to new low levels in price. United States first realized the effect of the slump through it's producing industry. when it's silver mines shut down and it's miners went idle. Great Britain is now realizing the effect of the low prices through her decreasing foreign trade, when India can buy half, as we'll as China and other eastern peoples, on ac- count of the halved value of liver. A new low for all time has been registered this last month when silver touched the 28 cts. mark Common sense will doubtless intervene be- tween golf games and horse

the North is a hazardous game with fate and with the cards to some extent stacked against the airman who ventures forth under uncertain flying condit- ions.
 Another lesson taught by these unfortunate air catastro- phes is the need for having planes flying in the vast North ern spaces equipped with rad io apparatus and with men on board capable of operating them.
 Had Capt. Burke's plane been so provided there is hard ly a doubt that he and his com panions would have been res cued within 48 hours after their plane was forced down ill the desolate Atlin region.
 And it is also not improbab- le that the Renahan party might possibly have been spared had they been able by means of radio to have kept the Prince Rupert or Ketchi- kan radio stations advised of their progress and location af- ter leaving Butedale.

Costly Warning.

The death of Capt. E. J. A. Burke and the similar fate of Pilot Robin Renahan and his companions, Frank Hatcher and Sam. Clerf, have provided a costly warning of the dan gers of winter flying in the Northland. Both fatalities show that the most extreme care must be exercised in fly ing during the period when sudden fogs, snow and sleet are liable at any moment to destroy visibility or render an airplane incapable of sus- taining itself in the air as a re- suit of the process known to Arctic mariners a icing down."
 While it is true that Capt. Burke's untimely fate was to some extent due to an injury to a pontoon, it must be re- called that the injury in quest ion was primarily due to the descent of sudden snow storms which forced him down twice before the pontoon accident rendered his plane incapable of taking off from the last landing place.
 It is very probable that hero- lc Robin Renahan and his equally courageous compan- ions encountered very similar conditions during the stormy evening of October 28 and either became lost in fog un- til their engine failed or were gradually borne down into the stormy waters by added weight of snow or sleet in some sudden squal.
 At the same time reflection suggests that the fate of Ren- ahan may not rest entirely up- on the elements. Flying con- ditions are said to have been distinctly bad at the time he left Butedale and his depart ure from that point seems, in the light of subsequent devel- opments, to have been possibly ill-advised. However, the fact remains that winter flying in

Four hundred ton. left on the Albert this week that was said to average $500 per ton. And when she pulls out again she will take 400 tons more of the same grade, this in spite of the fact that the mine is just now handicapped by lack of power. While the Albert was in port 28 loads of ore, more than 150 tons were delivered at the wharf in 24 hours, constituting a record for ore delivery.
