stance similar to bismuth, but several
thousand times more powerful than the
uranium salt from which it was oh
tanned. The presence of this metal in
combination with uranium had, up to
this time, been subjected to all sorts of
conditions, yet still another test was
made, with the same results, thus
proving the stability of the power of
the new light. The first piece of radium
being produced, Nine. Currie argued
that some accident might have been
responsible for It, instead Of scientific
manipulation, but investigation proved
conclusively that the results were
sound-that radium could be produced
at will. Tests were then made to show
the exact nature Of the material.
Pieces were dropped into gunpowder,
and while a glow spread through the
infamable material, no explosion took
place. There was no heat and no fire
merely light. Everything was tried
that was at all likely 10 start combus.
tion, but all failed.
The only thing that would destroy
the luminosity Of radium was boiling
water, i'm which it muss be kept for an
hour. On taking it from the water 1t
resembles green quartz-cold and dead.
On heating it again, however, to the
point of incandescence, 1t regained its
luminosity with the same powers as
before. 1t is then that several pieces
of radium were manufactured and sent
to scientists throughout the world, and
this is how Prof Langley came to re-
ceive the queer little thing done up in
a leaden box.
Recently Prof. Bach, Of Berlin, "a
noted scientist, has made tests Of the
light, with a view to establishing its
claims to permanency, and was unable
to discover any waste of material what
ever He gave it as his opinion that it
would require the lapse of 100000
years or more to destroy the luminosity
of piece of this radium no bigger than
quarter Of an inch square. When it
came to explaining the reason for the
lights existence, however, he was
dumb.
Even as the discovery stands today,
it is one of the most useful on record,
as small pieces may be used to illumi-
nate dwellings, public buildings and
theaters, with the absolute certainty
that there would result no flame from
their extinguishment, as sometimes
happens from the use ofordlnary means
of lighting, and that the expense Of
maintaining them would be absolutely
nothing,
In its present stage Of development
there are many uses for this magic sub
stance, yet without doubt it has been
left to talented member of the fair
sex, whose work along this line exceeds
all others. to benefit the world by one
of the greatest discoveries of the age.

To proceed The immortality of the
more brazen among the crooked danes
of the Pension Office reached such pitch
at one time that with their male para
mours they would leave the Office for
their pre-arranged rendezvous, and in
many cases obtain temporary leave for
that purpose.
The respectable and virtuous women
and they are, of course, the large major
ity of the female clerks in the Pension
Office, were so scandalized by this open
debauchery that mum bers Of them petit
toned their friends and Congressman to
be transferred to some other branch OF
the Interior Department. The Evans
administration is credited with modify
ing this particular phase OF demoraliza-
ton to some extent; at least sufficiently
to permit of virtuous female clerks con-
tinuing their services without being sub
jected to witnessing the gross and coarse
conduct of the small disreputable ele-
ment among them. But it was only
quite recently that the "speak easy" for
the lushing clerks was discovered
through the intoxication of some of its
patrons who came to work sober and
had to be sent home dead drunk.
That Evans was allowed to remain "A

POWER OF BRER SCOTT.
A Southern Negro Preacher who
Welded Wonderful influence
Over His Flock.

Down in the south of Georgia is n
remarkable negro preacher familiarly
known as Brer Hamp Scott. His power
over his congregation is almost ir-
resistible, and he seems to possess u
sort of hypnotic influence which does
not detract from his effectiveness. 4
gentleman who lives in that part of the
state tells the Washington Star his ex-
perience one evening in the little
church in the woods.
The services, which consisted OF
short talks and prayers, seemed TO be
about the same as those of any other
negro congregation, and l was prepar-
ing to make my escape when an old cot
ton-headed darky started camp
meeting hymn. He sang in wailing
minor key that went straight To the
nerves, and before he got through the
first stanza felt the tension in the at
mosphere.
When he ceased. Scott himself
jumped up and began to intone an
other hymn-a typical negro compost
ton, with the refrain: An de sinner
is aburnin' in de pitt" When he came
to the climax he suddenly Strengthened
up and rolled out the refrain like n
clap of thunder. The effect was elec-
trical, and in five minutes half the CON
gregation was on the verge of hys-
terics.
As the hymn died down Scott took up
a sort of chant. All the negroes joined
in, and whether it was some monoton-
Gus and peculiar quality in the voice
of the leaders or the weird surround
ings, i can't say, but the chant soon
had everybody under its spell.
Some of the darkies fell back. star
ing and rigid, like cataleptics. and
others writhed on the floor. foaming
at the mouth and tearing their eliot hes.
Still others wept and shouted. and all
the while the chant continued. rising
and falling like the wind in the Chin
