BRIAR PIPES.
Signs by Which Smoker Can Tell a
Good One,

1t is strange, and yet it Is fact, that
the English workman Is of no use in
the manufacture of pipes. The most
skillful artisans are either the Austri.
ans or the French. The pipemakers are
a very select, small body, and observe
every precaution to prevent their trade
being learned by outsiders. The work.
men are clever and they can earn high
wages.
Speaking of the cost Of pipe sue
cessful manufacturer remarks: when
the blocks arrive over here they are
blocks I rarely ever get more than
three or four pieces of wood for the
ordinary everyday pipe. The remaining
seven dozen pieces Of wood are thrown
into the furnace, and, l might mention
help considerably to generate the nee
essary steam power for the machinery.
Thus fully GO per cent. Of the material
l purchase Is of no use whatever and
1t is this extraordinary amount Of
waste that causes the briar pipe to be
SO expensive.
The prevailing defect, may mention
by the way, is generally in the form
Of crack In the wood. l used to sell
THESE uelectlNe DlOChS VI VI at u
penny apiece, and have sent away as
many as 10000 condemned briars at a
time, but now I burn them all. The
briars were sent abroad and the cracks
and flaws stopped with putty or some
other composition and then STEPPED In
a strong solution of permanganate Of
potash, which deeply colored the wood
and made the defect invisible except
on close inspection. All those briars
you see of a very deep color have
passed through the permanganate Of
potash bath, and you may rest assured
that there Is defect somewhere-they
would not be that color If it were not
so, because natural briar Is of medi-
um light hue.
"As to the average life of briar
pipe, you may take it for granted that
a pipe will last you as many years as
it costs you shillings. That is to say, If
you pay six shillings for a pipe If you
are a moderate smoker, 1t will last you
six years. The style Of briar pipe that
Is mostly in demand is that with a
bowl cut the straight way of the grain.
This Is not the most reliable kind of
pipe, as the sudden expansion by the
heat and contraction of the wood when
you stop smoking cause 1t to split In
short time. The best pattern Of briar
is that with bowl the grain Of which
Is very notified in appearance, or, as
the trade call 1t, the bird s-eye grain
This will never split"

f. New Chemical Which Is Better
Than the x-Ray.

Than the H-Ray.
Prof. George +. Barker, of the ply
steal laboratory of the University Of
Pennsylvania, exhibited last week for
the drst time in America, the newly
discovered chemical element radium.
which seems destined to create great
stir in the scientific world. Years ago
Bequerel found that salts of the rare
metal uranium possessed the power Of
throwing off feeble and invisible ra
dance, like the X rays. Nine. Curie, in
Paris, last year isolated from the Bo-
hemian mineral pitchblend two other
elements that behave in the same man.
ner, but are far more active. One Of
them she called ''polonium" and the
other "radium." The latter Is said to
be 100000 times as intense as uranium
in its Photographic effect.
Prof. Barker has been experimenting
with all three of these elements and
with the mineral (pitchblend or ura.
nite) from which the two new ele-
ments are derived. He showed to the
photographed Club here this week a
series of Photographic plates on which
impressions had been produced by
these substances. His procedure has
been as follows:
"A Photographic plate was Enclosed
In black paper and then covered with
yellow paper. After one whole days
exposure to the sunlight no effect was
produced. This precaution proved the
thoroughness Of the protection. Then
the various metals and salts were
placed upon the paper-coverd plate
and they produced dark stains.
"In order to take photographs Of OBJ
jects such as hand or foot these"ob.
jects would be placed between the met.
al and the plate, and the result would
be similar to those obtained by the
X rays such substances as bone would
show clearly through the flesh and sur
rounding tissue. A photograph can be
taken by means Of radium in half a
minute.
1.-The importance of this discovery
can hardly be overestimated The Won
derful results Of the X rays now so
useful In surgical diagnosis, can be du
plicated by method much cheaper
Moreover radium seems to suffer no
diminution Of energy or loss Of weight
during the process. In addition to pro-
ducing an impression on the photo
graphic plate, radium produces phos.
phorescence, and discharges electrified
bodies. Thus 1t will be seen that 1t
possesses all the qualities of the Ro.
entgen rays.
"Radium apparently violates one Of
the fundamental laws Of physics,
namely, that Of the conservation of en-.
ergy. 1t does not derive its photograph.
