ON NATURALIZATION.

partaken of fish which had been freely exposed to moonlight. Mr. E. G. Bryant, B. A., B Sc. writing in a recent number of the Chemical News from Port Elizabeth South Africa, suggests that a possible ex
planation of thes phenomena, assum-' ing them to be true might lie in the well-known fact that the light of the moon being reflected light, is more or less polarized, and possibly polarized light may exert a peculiar chemical action When two slices cut from the same fish were hung one in the direct light and the other in the polarized beam, the latter invariably began to decompose before the former, though the temperature of the polarized beam was several degrees lower than the direct light. There
were indications also in the case of
other perishable food substances of
a tendency to decompose when they
were bombarded with polarized light. The question the Lancet thinks, i3

FIX BLAME FOR 'FLUNK.'
Teachers who "flunk" their pupils
for the purpose of brightening their own reputations as thorough educators are the object of an attack by Professors C. R. Rounds and H. B. Kingsbury of the West Division High
School Milwaukee, in an article on
"Do Too Many Students Fail?" In
the current number of the School Review issued the other day at the'
University of Chicago. Instructors
who practice this means of personal
advancement are held up as a menace to the schools.
The writers of the article declare that teachers can cut down the percentage of failures by seeking to eliminate the causes. The article Is supported by data reclved from fortysix high schools. "High school men are now recognizing the fact that the schools are losing too many of their pupils, and
that too many are being compelled to
take work over," the article 6tates

Heart to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LUR1C
THE RINGING OF THE BELL. The scene 19 Lloyd's, in London, that
ancient and historic and exceedingly
busy place where the ships of the world are insured.
The underwriters and their clerks
are engaged in their Important tasks.
There Is work to be done, that tbe loss of a ship may not mean ruin to her
owners, but may be distributed. It is
a place of pounds and dollars and marks and francs, in the atmosphere of which, it seems, there should be no
tinge of sentiment
Once, twice, rings a bell! A ship, reported lost. Is safe.
Instantly business Is forgotten. The
brokers and tbelr clerks throng about
the bell and tbey cheer and they shake hands with one another and tbey are as happy as schoolboys. A ship is
safe! The bell has announced it.
Cynics may say: "Of course they
would rejoice. Doesn't tbe pealing of
the bell mean the string of insnr
ance?" Not so shame on you, Master
Cynic! The bell is pealed for the sal
ration of human life, tbe coming back
of those who were menaced.
So In each life, when some one loved
and dear and imperiled Is saved from
death or Illness or shipwreck, moral or physical, there should be pealed a bell of thankfulness and rejoicing, not once
or twice, but many times.
The ship that bears our lored ones,
laboring In great waters against storm
and stress, amid the darkening clouds of danger and doubt, we thought was lost, but it is safe. Those we feared were gone are returned to us. Let us sound the bell of the rejoicing of the spirit. Let us make music on the timbrels of the heart Many there be that navigate the sea Of life, and all do not come to port Of some there la told the tale of the tempest and the hurricane, the awful wrath of the clouds of sin and the pounding to pieces on the reefs of moral destruction. If perchance we can throw out the life Use of aid to such before it is too late and bring them safely to the shore of safe and healthy and happy lifeLet us ring the bell and rejoice!

TO PROBE ELECTION. It is highly probable that a grand
jury Investigation will be made of the municipal elction held In South Bend last Week, all depending upon the decision of Prosecutor Montgomery, who, according to the information available, now has the matter under advisement. A grand jury wll Inot convene for about two weeks, when a new term of
the Superior Court begins. There la now aatd to be on file in the prosecutor's office an affidavit taken by one of his deputies and made by a Citizens party committeeman in one of the foreign populated precincts that much of the money furnished by candidates for election expenses was spent tor beef.

"LET CHICAGO DO IT, AYS GARY Steel City ..Finds, Bertilloft Bureau Too Expensive.
Chicago will now be expected to do the Bertillon identification bureau work for the Gary police department. Some time ago the city council hired Samuel Mucklan, an expert from the Chicago bureau, installed assistants, purchased several thousand photographs and proceeded to catalogue all of the criminals that came to town. In a short while all surrounding Indiana towns adopted the motto, "Let Gary do It," and sent their criminals to Gary for Identification. This proved to be a costly procedure and the safety board has now decided to "let Chicago do it."
