ITALIAN CROPS A COMPLETE
FAILURE, ACCORDING TO
SPECIAL AGENTS.
DR0UTH OF TWO MONTHS KILLS
VEGETATION IN GRAIN PRO-
DUCING DISTRICTS,
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MAKING
ARRANGEMENTS TO FEED
THE DESTITUTE,
By Associated Press.)

Odessa, July 2o.-According to the res
ports of special agents the Italian crop
appears to be nearly a total failure.
In the great grain producing regions Of
Mlnnuessinsk and Krasnoyarsk almost
the entire growth Of cereals has persisted
as a result of the two months drouth.
The condition in the south of Russia
may be described on the whole as fairly
average, yet there are destructive short-
ages in the popuous districts in the
Ekatrino government.
The worst Of all are the Volga Prov
inces. The peasantry Of this vast region
are already practically destitute.
They have sold the cattle and horses
they could not feed, and have consumed
nearly their whole scanty stocks of food
and seed grain.
The Russian minister Of railways and
communications is making active pre-
paration f>r the timely transportation OF
food, grain and ther supplies from the
south.

BOTTLED SUNSHINE.
Radium Hns Wonderful Power ana
Il Highly Expensive.

Bottled sunshine has at lost become a
possible thing, though somewhat costly.
Radium is the mineral which promises to
furnish us with practically enduring bot
tied sunshine. The popularity of this
bottled sunshine, however, is that it is
without heat.
Professor Langley, who has been maxi
ing experiments in this direction, recently
received two Theoretically sealed vias
containing radium, a mineral discovered
by Nine. Tklodowska Curie, a Polish
chemist, in the salts Of uranium. The
professor has found radum to possess
wonderful properties. From these vials,
which are each about the size of your liz
tie finger, an unceasing greenish white
light issues.
This remarkable light gives its immodi-
ate surroundings peculiar glow, ike
that from Y rays. One of the Walls con-
tains n white, starchlke powder, and the
other similar substance broken INTO
cubes with faces tenth Of an inch in
dimension. In the dark these vials give
sufficient light to enable one to read
printed page held closely to them.
The power shown by this small guam
tity Of radium leads the scientist 10 the
conclusion that half a pound Of the min
'iuif ~ unity SpItdI Jul, NOulu lIEnI an
ordinary sitting room.
Moreover, if in giving off light the
radium parts with energy, it is so slight
as not to be measurable. an estimate be-
ing that an almost indefinite time would
be required to exhaust the light giving
properties of the two small vials in ques-
ton. Its energy is apparently in tho
mineral itself, for after being in the dark
for a couple Of months the light given
forth was nowisc weaker.
Curously enough. chemists used hth-
erto TO treat radium as though it were
practically voluecss, but now the mineral
has become so precious that it costs
about 1000 an ounce, for only small
quantities Of it are found in uranium,
and its extraction is very costly.
This mysterious radium is capable Of
emitting two distinct sets Of rays-one
like ordinary daylight and the other like
y rays. Moreover, the rays have the eff
feet of sunlight on a Photographic mega
tive. Finally, tried as an y ray, the light
was found capable Of photographing
through the wood Of plate holder.
