Lee. (By Wm. Hildebrand, Eighth Grade .\) Robert Edward Lee was born in Stratford, Westiorelanid county, Vir ginia, January 19, 1S07. In 1811, the family moved to Alexandria, where the father, Richard llenry Lee, could send his boys to better schools. At the age of eighteen, Robert en tered the West Point Military Acad emy, and during his four years' stay he never received a bad mark or demerit. His clothes were always clean, and his gun highly polished. He graduated in 1829, second in his class, and entered the Engineer Corps of the United States and second lieutenant. Lee served with distinction in the Mexican war, under General Scott, as engineer. In after years Scott said that his greatest success in Mexico was due to the skill and valor of Ro bert E. Lee. After the Mexican war, Lee went to West Point as superintendent of the Academy. Three years later he went to Texas as lieutenant colonel of the Second regiment. In 1859, while spend. ing a short time with his family, Lee received orders to proceed to Harper's Ferry with a body of marines, and quell the John Brown's raid. Lee succeeded in doing this. When the civil war broke out, Lee was offered chief command of the Union forces, but declined when Vir ginia seceded. He went at once to Richmond and was made major-generaP of the Virginia forces. Lee was now fifty-four years old; muscular, and in perfect health. He never drank liquors or used tobacco. When General Johnston was wound ed at Seven Pines, Lee assumed com mand of the Confederate army, and de feated McClellan at the Seven Days' battles around Richmond. Lee had hitherto been regarded as having too great a caution, but his plans for the assault on General Mc Clellan indicated a nerve approaching boldness. In 1862, Lee decided to invade Mary land. At Antietam Creek, he met an army under General McClellan. The battle lasted all day, and until dark ness made it impossible to continue. On the night of the 18th of August, Lee recrossed the Potomac unmolest ed Lee gained popular victories at Fred ericksburg and Chancellorsville, but the battle of Chancellorsville was clouded by the'death of the great Stonewall Jackson. In 1883, Lee decided to invade Penn sylvania. He met an army under Gen eral Meade at Gettysburg. The Con federates were slaughtered, and the men lost in this battle here never re placed. In 1864, General Grant assumed com mand of the Union army and in the battles of the Wilderness, Cold Harbor and Spotsylvanla Courthouse, Lee was victorious. In 1865, after displaying his skill as general, and most estimable qualities a man, Lee was compelled, to sur der his half-tarved army to Gen - Grant, April 9, 1885, at Appomattox Courthouse. After the civil war, Lee was made Sprelidesnt of the Washington College, which position he held until his death, on October 12, 1870. Perhaps no man ever lived so great, so nmselsh as Lee. Duty was the key note of his life. HOLY NAME SOCIETY, The Holy Name 8oelety has Just re celtved a ew beanner made in Lyons, mnce.

As has been its custom for many years, The Herald to-day presents to its readers its annual Christmas Edition. We have made every endeavor to make this number more attractive, more interesting; more entertaining than any of its predecessors, and leave it to the judgment of our readers whether we have succeeded in doing so. In the reading columns will be found much matter relating to the Yule Tide season, and in the advertising columns you have a ready index to assist you in making selections for your Christmas giving. If these columns are carefully studied and a list prepared before starting out to shop, your buying will be made much easier than if you wait until you get to the stores to make your selections. Also you should begin right away to do your shopping while the goods are fresh and in some kind of order, for you must remember that, with the great rush now on, the stores will find it almost impossible to keep things in the best order. Another thing you might remem ber is to buy only according to your means. The intrinsic value of a gift cuts little figure at the Christmas time; it is more the sentiment attached that brings the real joy. The small gift is just as priceless, sentimentally, to the receiver as the most costly one. Therefore, be guided accordingly. The Herald wishes for you all a most happy Christmas. Dock Board Squabble. The Algiers Improvement Association showed the benefit of wise counsel when it indorsed the resolutions of the New Orleans Progressive Union in the Iock Board matter, and thereby went on record as being opposed to the action of Governor Hall. We must express our opinion that Governor Hall's action in summarily removing a member of the board was absolutely indefensible from any standpoint, either of ethics or of the welfare of the city of New Orleans. In the nature of things and according to all precedent, to the victor belongs the spoils, and the Governor has a perfect right to appoint his sup porters to any offices that may fall within his gift. At the same time, it is only proper that he should confer with the commercial bodies of this city in a matter that is of such vital importance to the commerce of New Orleans. It is a courtesy that is due the city. and we feel sure that Governor Hall will recognize this fact. If after such a conference it is found that the Governor can improve on the present conditions, there will be little opposition left. The present Dock Board has done a world of good in improving our port facilities, and when it is considered that their commissions are at the most thankless ones, without remuneration of any kind, we must concede that they deserve some consideration. Therefore we are heartily in favor of a conference be tween the Governor and all our commercial exchanges, in order that a peaceful and dignified solution of the matter may be had. Above all things, the Dock Board should be preserved as a non-political body, for only thus can it be of real service to the port. The Alhambra Gymnastic Club. Things are beginning to move for the new gymnastic club on this side of the river. During the past week the Club has purchased two lots of ground in a splendid locality, on which to erect their new building. Plans are in progress for the building, and from present indications the new club will be one of the finest and best equipped in the city. Special accommodations will be provided for the ladies of the town, and this alone should induce many men to join. The announcement of the purchase of the ground has already brought many new applications for membership, but many more are still to be heard from. Every man in Algiers who has any civic pride whatever should send in his application, as a mark of faith in his little town. If you want the outsiders to boost your town, you must do some of the boosting yourself. The Alhambra Gymnastic Club is to be congratulated on the steady progress it is making. Se PELLING TROPHIE8. Last January, in the spelling contest, the Belleville school, scoring 16 points and one first place (6th A, Miss Shook teacher), took second place in the city. It- was passed by the Washington s school, city champions, and passed the Davis, the Franklin No. 2, etc. Tues day, Dec. 10, 1912, the trophies were g awarded at the Esplanade Avenue High School. Brilliantly lit, the school presented a n pretty scene as the many bright-eyed e girls and boys inspected it, before go ing to take parts in the program. In this, "America" and the "Star Spangled Banner" were given by the entire audience; the Belleville trophy was received by little Miss Elvina Leo nard, who had been selected by her t team mates to represent them, and it was given by Chas. Colton. The other t members of the team are Rita Humph ries and Daisy St. Germain. IF YOU PLAY 500? A. M.: In order to settle an argu ment, please answer the following: In a game of five hundred, if a no trump hand is bid, can the Joker be used at any time, or only when the suit card Is exhausted? On this point A. M. Paine, in his little booklet entitled "Rules for 500, Compiled by a Devotee,' gives the fol' lowing: "On 'no trump' bid, the hand is played without trumps; except when the Joker is used, it is the only trump card. It can be played on any suit led, provided the player does not revoke to play it. If led, the leader names the suit he desires played to it, and the other players must play that suit if possible. "In 'no trump' hand the Joker is pometimes not considered a trump, but simply highest card of any suit the holder may desire. It cannot be named a suit on which the holder has previously revoked, however. "The principal difference between these two practices in play is: If the joker is considered a trump it cannot be played so long as its holder has cards of the suit led, while if merely highest card of any suit the holder may desire, it can be played at any time, provided the player has not pre viously revoked on the suit led."

" said a Providence citizen the ts other day. "1 am reminded of a little at incident. I was coming back from 1e Boston with a friend on the midnight train, and. getting on board at the Id Back Bay station, we found a seat near the rear end of the car. "Soon after the train pulled out I happened to look around and saw thr conductor apparently expostulating with a rather shabby looking specimen of humanity who was sitting in the last seat. At first I thought the man el was (trunk, but as I watched I saw that be was a foreigner who couldn't t understand English. lie was holding n out a crumpled one dollar bill to the , conductor and saying 'New York' over and over again. " *Finally the conductor shook his head. said something I couldn't catch and went on. The foreigner, a rather decent looking young fellow, gazed at p blm despairingly, then buried his face is in his hands and begann to cry. With the usual callous indifference of the traveling public to the troubles of any it one else. I paid no more attention to 11 the man and prepared to take a nap. "I was just beginning to doze when I became aware that a man was stand te ing beside me in the aisle, speaking to ,, me. I sat up and looked at him. He was a rough appearoing man, far from a prepossessing, clean shaven, with a re sort of bulldog face. e- "'Say. gents.' he began. 'I want to know if you wouldn't like to help a fel 1 ler out.' k "I stiffened Instinctively, determined to refuse to let him make a 'touch.' "'There's a poor young foreigner back there.' he went on with a jerk of his thumb toward the alien, still sit ting with bowed bead. 'and he's up against it for fair. He can't speak a word of English, and he wants to go to New York, where he has friends. "'He got the idea somebow be could º do it for a dollar, Ill be's got; but, of I d course, be can't, and they're going to I n put him of the train when we get to ! Providence.

"The conductor and the brakeman t were standing at the door of the car I near the foreigner's seat. e .'Here.' said the man who had col lected the money to the allen; 'give me e your dollar.

SCHEME OF A CLEVER ROGUE. 1 The Smooth Swindler and His Accom plice Showed How Easily They Could t Extract Gold From the Ocean-FIeec ed Their Dupes and Then Decamped. Various inventors have been working u for years on the theory that there is plenty of gold in sea water if only e some process of extraction could be de u veloped. I Some years ago the Rev. Prescott J. e Jernegan was the salt water wizard of t the hour. From the day his bubble burst and he left for Europe nobody I seems to know what has become of him. Jernegan, who posed as a clergy man, and C. E. Fisher, once a floor walker in a New York department r store and before that a diver, got to gether in the fall of 1891 and for a whole year carefully considered the problem of extracting gold from salt water. It is true, their whole field of thought compassed the use of salt wa r ter as an accessory only, the real ma terial from which the gold was to be extracted being the American people. Very artistically Jernegan, to whom r was left the matter of publicity, per mitted some vague rumors to leak out. "A leading clergyman had a marvel ous money making device. The world was soon to be stunned by a fact that would make the possessor of the orig inal secret so rich that all the multi millionaires would be paupers in com parison." When they had stirred up public curiosity Jernegan and Fisher went to New England and there set ur some mysterious machinery. On Narragansett bay was an old half dismantled wharf, and at the sea end of this the two erected a cheap frame shanty about 8 by 10 in size, with a square hole cut through the floor and looking directly down into about fifteen feet of water. An electric wire from a small battery was run along the p11 tag of the wharf and attached to a mysterious box, with heavy iron clamps and holes all through to per Smit of free passage of the water back and forth. Finally the great secret was divulged These two men bad discovered a way of taking all the gold they wanted from the salt water at a cost so trifling that it was ridiculous to mention it Two wealthy persons, one a Provi deuce Jeweler and the other a New York florist, were approached by Jer aegan with what seemed to be such a trustful and childlike proposal that I they both embraced it eagerly. It wa that, all his apparatus being ready for experiment, they would come to the shanty on the wharf prepared to gc t through a night's vigil and witness th I result, accompanied by any sclentich friends they cared to bring along. The idea, as outlined by Jernegan was to send a current into a pan of mercury held within the box, the recep t tacle then being sent to the bottom of I the sea and drawn up after several hours, when it would be found that the mercury had absorbed gold from the ocean. When the night of the experiment came the box was prepared in the I shanty, two chemists. friends of the I capitalists, bringing their own mercury I with them. The box was lowered to the bottom, and then the party of five I began their wait. Soon after daylight I Jernegan announced that it was time t to draw the box up again. This was done and the whole party eagerly set I to work to find out whether any gold bad been received. When the hobemists I announced that gold to the value of I $14 was foand mixed with the quick- I silver all were stunned by the discov I ery and realized at once the vast pose I sbilities in more extensive operations. the original experiment having been I practiceally made with a toy apparatus. I The story spread like wildfire, and I the modest Jernegan was prevailed I upon to organize a company. Stock was somid, and after getting possession of thousands of dollars the promoter sailed away to Europe. The success of I the great experiment was explained afterward. Fisher, the diver, had gone 4 out from the shore in his diving suit. opened the box and, taking out the I mercury that had been brought by the chemists, substituted a vial of his own I that had been strongly impregnated I with gold. Both before and since the Jernegan 1 fraud many attempts have been made to extract gold from salt water, some of them fraudulent, some genuine and I based on scientleific grounds that have I etom time to time appealed even to deep students. all so far have tled dismally.

The Reasons Why This Old Planet of Ours, With All Its Pentup Fer-y Volcanio or Gaseous Forces at Wor.. Could Ievoer Be Blown to Fragments Some writers have accounted for I asteroids on the theory that they :,, the fragments of a world that frw, some unknown cause has been exih I ed in its orbit.

But that can never happen. In 1883 Krakatoa, a sleepy old ,(.! cano on a small island In the strait of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra. began to show marked signs of uneasi ness. Round the volcano the quakingl earth opened enormous fissures in th." bottom of the sea, down which rushe.' Niagaras of water. Then the fissur, closed and confined the engulfed floo, in the hot subterranean depths.

The great chimney of Krakatoa sealed since the memory of ma n barred the normal path of escnpe Higher and higher mounted the pres sure under the huge mass of the vol cano; then, of a sudden, came a blast that actually shook the earth. Never before in historic time had there been such a shock. The whole top of the old mountain was blown into the sky. The recoil was distinctly felt clear through the terrestrial balL This great cataclysm has been cited as an Indication of the power of the pentup forces that may some day dis rapt the earth itself. Let us examine the underlying principles that must guide us In passing judgment on the correctness of this theory. An explosive compound is a combust Ible combined mechanically or chem ically either with oxygen or with an oxidizing substance that will burn with out the help of atmospheric oxygen. Among the most powerful high ex plosives are nltrogelatin and plcrict acid. each of which has a density more than one and a half times that of water. The products of their combus. tion are nearly all gaseous, whereas the products of the combustion of ordinary black gunpowder are less than halt gaseous The larger part is the solid matter that makes the smoke. The energy that a high explosive can exert depends on the volume of the gases liberated and the temperature to which the beat of the explosion can raise them. The exact temperature of the gases liberated by a high explosive at the in stant of detonation is not absolutely known, but may be approximately learned through chemical experiment Nor is the amount of pressure known with absolute certalnty. It is probable. however, that nitroglycerin. nitrogela tin and plcric acid, when detonated in a confined space, exert a pressure some whenre between 800,000 and 500.000 pounds to the square inch. If we assume that the earth crust has a density five times that of water and that its average thickness is fifty miles, then it follows that it exerts a pressure of more than 500,000 pounds to the square inch; if the crust is a hundred miles thick, then the pressure Is more than a million pounds to the squanre inch-a pressure certainly grent er than the expansive force exerted by the most powerful bigh explosive. Plainly, no quantity of high exploslve detonated under the crust of the earth rwould be able to lift it, and consequent ly we know that no world of the size of the earth can ever explode from its own pentop Internal forces. If. then, no high explosivre force is mmflent to blow up a world the size of the earth, how can worlds explode? There is only one way in which the heavenly bodies can become possessed of sumclent energy actually to blow up, and that Is by collision. The stars are flying about in space with velocities that range all the way from five miles a second to 500 miles a second. If two celestial orbs, traveling each at a velocity of 200 miles a second, met in a head-on collision they woold be fused and gasfled by the impact, and the beat generated would be sumclent to break up the matter of both Into Its ultimate elements and to expand it into nebulous baze. This Is the way in which sclence says that new suns, new nebulae and new stars are born.--Hud s- Maxim in Youth's Companion. 8erry He Spoke.
