BOTTLED
Radium Has Wonderful Power and
La Highly Expensive.

Bottled sunshine has at last 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 max
ing experiments in this direction, recently
received two kermetically sealed walls
containing radium, a mineral discovered
by Nine. Tklodowska Curie, a Polish
chemist. in the salts Of uranium. The
professor has found radium TO possess
wonderful properties. From these vials,
which are each about the size of -FOUR lit
tie finger, an unceasing greenish white
light issues.
This remarkable light give its immedi-
ate surroundings a peculiar glow, like
that from Y rays. One Of the walls con-
tains q white, starchlike powder, and the
other a similar substance broken into
cubes with faces a tenth Of an inch in
dimension. In the dark these walls give
sufficient light TO enable one to read a
printed page held closely to them.
The power shown by this small guam
tity of radium leads the scientist to the
hAoS ANiA a pOoho Va AZ hiAA
eral, If thinly spread out, would light 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 the
mineral itself, for after being in the dark
for a couple Of months the light given
forth was nowise weaker.
Curiously enough, chemists used hith.
erto to treat radium as though it were
practically valueless, but now the mineral
has become SO precious that it costs
about $1,000 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
x rays. Moreover, the rays have the eff
feet of sunlight on a Photographic mega
tive. Finally, tried as an x ray, the light
"a found capable Of photographing
through the wood Of a plate holder.

Good Place For Lazy Men.

Henry Sandman, the we'll known Bos-

do not breakfast till IL. dine at 4 and

are great, large tropical gardens filled
with every flower Of the world. familiar
and strange; where fish. the most deli.

into the fire and thence to your table;
where you can live like a duke for 9O

The Senate District committee is in pos
session of an important report from the
War Department. summarized in the news
columns today, which indicates the serious
need OF new bridge to replace the crumb
ling structure between Georgetown and
Roslyn. The old "Aqueduct' bridge has
been a menace for years. but its real cond1-
ton has not been made emphatiCally ap-
parent before a. ii now is in the course of
this report. which contains an earnest
recomme ndation that a new structure be
provided to replace the old one in the in
terest of the public safety.
These facts will naturally be brought d.
rectly TO the attention of the cOnferees on
the sundry civil bill, which contains
the Senate's memorial bridge amendment
If the Aqueduct bridge is to be re-
placed by a structure it will doubt
less be necessary TO remove the old bridge
entirely pending the work. IL so the public
will be wholly cut OFF from access to Ar
lington Fort Myer and the Virginia subur-
bar area, save by the roundabout way of
Long bridge. The Aqueduct bridge is in con-
dition to withstand the wear of use for a
few years TO come. though not strong
enough to permit the addition of an extra
roadway for street cars. The course Of
caution ana systematic provision Tor tfe
present and future needs of this growing
traffic across the Potomac would be for
Corgr to make immediate appropriate ton
for the Memorial bridge. thereby permitting
work to be begun without further delay
Il would be possible with sufficiently lib
eral yearly instruments OF the cost. to COM
piete the Memorial bridge within few
years. in season To allow the necessary
work of replacing the Aqueduct bridge to
begin at about the definite close of that
structures usefulness.
Thus. by such a plan the upper Virginia
shore need not be Isolated from. the Dis
trict at any time. The Memorial bridge.
however, is needed for its own sake. The
argument for its immediate construction
already strong. is merely strengthened by
this disclosure that the old "aqueduct''
structure Is steadily weakening and is unfit
for extensions which are demanded by the
increase of the traffic and the development
OF modern means Of transportation. The
Senate conferees on the sundry civil bill
have a powerful lever to secure action in
this report. and 1t is to be expected that
they Will use II to the full advantage
With definite pledge given last session by
authoritative House leaders in District af-
fairs that the Memorial bridge would be
favorably considered this year and with
this official statement of the constantly In
creasing need for new bridge structures
across the Potomac. there should be no
question as to the ultimate success OF the
Senate in securing the initial appropriation
for this great patriotic. practical work.

prison. can endure the strain of long
march and present creditabie appear
ance in line. There is nothing disgrace
full about their laggard steps. their uneven
lines. their thin ranks. but, on the con-
trary. these signs of advancing age and de-
plotting numbers are honorable tokens of
their sacrifices and of the sad fact that
the Grand Army is fading from sight.
The inaugural parade is show affair.
Ii is composed a rule of organizations
which appeal to the eye through their
brave appearance, their fine uniforms, their
compact ranks. their precision of move
ment. The purpose of the parade is to give
spectacular demonstration to the feelings
of pride in a new executive to the senti-
ments awakened by this token of republi-
can or democratic success, as the case may
be. Save for the fact that President Nc
Kinley is himself veteran of the war and
in hearty sympathy with the purpose of
the various veteran organizations, ana con-
sequently especially appreciative of their
participat ton in his inauguration, there are
no considerations of the purpose and sig
nificance of inaugural parades which com
peI the active participation of the old sol
diers long after such participation has be-
come burden.
1t is unfortunate that there should have
been any controversy over the arrange
ments for the parade on this score. Per
haps some plan might have been devised
which would give the veterans an appro-
pirate part in the proceedings without call
ing tpon them to march or to withstand
the fatigue of a long standing wait in the
cold of an early spring day But now, In
the light of the decision of the commanders
of the various veteran organizations, there
will be no such participation, and IA
miliar feature of the parade will be lacking
this wear for the first time. But 1t is in
eyitable that the time should soon arrive,
if it is not already here. when the Veter-
ans would necessarily change from partlcl-
nants to spectators in their relation to all
such parades and there should be no bit
terness over the decision to make TINS
change at the present time. The veterans
may be assured that their absence from
the line does not mean that they are Tor
potten in the rush of new affairs. the JOY
of the occasion or the participation OF
thousands of trimmer soldiers than they.
Their place in the hearts of the people Is
SECURE whether they walk YEARLY along

A Handsome animation.

An experiment has been tried in the il
Illumination of the treasury building which
succeeds so well that it is worthy of con-
tinuat;on as nightly feature. not confined
to holidays or show occasions. A line of
electric bulbs placed just within the coping
of the colonnade on the east front ilumi-
mates the space within so brightly that the
columns themselves are brought out in fine
contrast. The effect. is beautiful. The
stately pillars, which are discolored and
rough in the light of day, thus at night be-
come the dominant feature of the entire
structure and accentuate the grace of the
building. Viewed along the F street vista
the illumination is especially pleasing. 1t
must be a cheap process, and its continu-
ance a permanent feature of the build
ing's lighting arrangements would be worth
far mora as factor for the adornment of
the city than the expense.

The river and harbor bill goes to confer
ence bearing a liberal appropriation Tor the
commencement of work on the Anacostla
river. The Senate attacked only one phase
of the problem limiting its provision to the
requirements of the naval vessels. whlch
are now embarrassed in reaching the gun
foundry wharves. The S1l2.5oO appropri-
ated by the government is for the dredging
of a channel suitable for vessels of the
navy" from the Potomac to the navy yard
1t would have been more satisfactory had
the work been started upon broader basis,
with provision for the reclamation of the
flats above the navy yard. This problem
will never be suitably solved until the
works are carried well up the stream, and
the river confined to channels instead of be-
ing permitted to flow over fiat lands at high
tide and to expose them to the fostering in
fuence of the sun at low tide. This appro-
priatien is however, step in the right di-
rection and there Is promise of tardy JUS
tice being done to those portions of the Dis,
trict containing the Capitol and other gov
eminent institutions which have for 50
many years been menaced by the deadly
emanations from the Anacostia flats.

is no question now as to the completion OF
all the necessary routine legisla ton before
the gavei falls at noon next Monday. But
there is a growing fear in the District lest
some of the measures on the calendars
which deserve passage for the sake of the
welfare of the capital may be crowded into
the depths of pigeon holes and so allowed
to die the death of neglect. Among these
are the District code bill, which is on the
verge of passage and requires only few
minutes for its consideration by the Senate,
having gone through the reading stage.
Mr. Pritchard yesterday tried once more to
secure its consideration. but met with an
objection He promised to try again, and
it is to be hoped he will succeed.

The Veterans and the Parade

The decision Of the veterans not to par
ticipate in the inaugural parade is for some
reasons to be regretted. for others to be
sppiauded. For many years the people of
Washington and their guests have watched
the old soldiers march in parades with
feelings of proud satisfaction. Their pres
erce has stimulated patriotic sentiment and
on appropriate occasions has given the
last touch of propriety and significance.
But it Is not to be denied that the time
