ringed with the enervating convic-
thei that he must be carried around

GAMBLING IS 110111E1tY.
Galubqug is robbery. It takes
wealth and gives nothing in return.
It puts not one copper into the
world's treasury, It plants no seed.
it digs no gold from the mine. It
grows no wool upon the sheen's
back. It builds no steamship lines.
manufactures no goods, and it
tart's no Swished products. It does
nothing for national or social de-
velopment. It had 110 more to do
m 49 the marvelous development of
the twentieth century than the vast
sirhes of the piratical buccaneers of
ell had to do with creating the
wealth of the fourteenth and the
11.teenth mill sixteenth centuries, Its
ai,h,sion is always ruinous. Ever
it Mille a black flag of death
and never the white flag which
should always he carried by the
"heroes of peace."
Gambling cannot even lay claim to
1 0 indirect advantages which a, legi-
timate business provides for the
community. Every legitimate busi-
neEs is a benefit to mankind. When
a man like old Commodore Vander-
bilt started Mit to make a success in

bilt in the legitimate role of railroad
developer served himself he was also
serving mankind. Nis railroads
gave employment to thousands and
tens of thousands of men and sup-
ported those men's families. Ins iron
roads developed whple regions in the
west which would never have been
opened by any • other pioneer than

A SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE.

Scientists Are Puzzled Oven
Radium.
The most fundamental principle of
the physical sciences, the conserve -
titan of energy, is soinething along
the line of the ;Slather Goose jingle
about what goes lip IMISt come down
There is no possible way of getting
niore energy out of an engine than
you put into it. The dream of per-
petual motion is based on a fallacy.
But the newly discovered wonder,
radium, seems to ilispi•ove the old
theory or,. at any rate, the old
theory as yet gives no satisfactory
explanation of the extraordinary ac -
Cob a/ the new element, scientists aro
at their wit's end 40 account for it,
We have a substance that "gives out
a continuous supply of heat, besides
several forms of so-called emanations
-a, gas, material particles, X-rays,
cathode rays, etc. -without Env ap-
preciable loss of its own substance."
It leaks as if SOlne 11010 and higher

servation, were needed. .for further
scientilic. advance.
Not loss) ago, before the British
Association, Charles Vernon Boys,
president oi the physical section, re -
tureen to the extraordinary signifi-
cance of radninshe said : "The
discoveries regarding radium trans-
cend all othees in intrinsic inmor-
tame and revolutionary possibilities.
Its everlasting production of beat
which can barely be distinguished
from perpetual motion which 'It has
been en axiom of science to call im-
possible, has left every chemiet and
phySiCiat ill a state of bewilderment.
Thanks to a host of plsysicists at
home and abroad, tho mystery is be-
ing attacked and theories are hoing
invented to account for the marvel-
lous results of observation."
The members of the sante associa-
tion had two general theories to ac-
count for the phenOmen011. The old
0110 of conservation to the effect
that the radium is slowly losing the
amount of energy it gives off, and
the new one that, in some mysterious
way, the radium catches and trans-
mits energy from the outside.
ATE THE RIVIDENC1E,
Laws for the preservation of • fish
in a Western State had been enact-
ed. A num was on trial 011 a. charge
of catching EL certain tigh that weigh-
ed less that 2lbs. The constable
who had made the arrest testified to
capturing tho prisoner. with several
of the fish in his posseSsion,
"Where aro the fish?" asked the
lawyer for tho defendant.
"Why, they wouldn't keep," an-
swered the officer.

"What did you do with thous?"
"Well, I knew they wooldn't 12009,

"But what did. you do with themS"
"My wife cooked them."
"And you ate them?"
"Yes."
"Your honor, I ask that this case
be. dismissed."
"Charge dismissed and defendant
discharged," ruled the justice of
the Peace, "on the ground that the

MAKING AMENDS.
A poor Turkish slater. of Con-
stantinople, beieg at work upon tho
roof of a house, lost his footing and
fell into the narrow street upon EL
111011. The pedeStritM was killed by
the concussion, while the slater 08
-
coped without material injury.
A son of the deceased caused tho
sister to be arrested. The emit lis-
tened attentively, and in the 0110

The son or the nun who hod beon

dign punishment should be inflicted
on the accused.
The 00111 meditated 22 low moments,
and finally said, "It shall be so."
Then to the slater Ito said, "Thou
