An epidemic Of suicide appears to be
one of the evil results OF the Paris
Exposition. The number of suicides in
Paris is very large at present. and the
chief cause is thought to be the general
retrenchment following the exposition,
which has thrown many people out Of
work. Throughout France, however,
suicide seems to have been increasing
for some time. In the five years
ended January /, 1901, the number OF
suicides was no less than $1,000.

day school children of St. Andrew s
 church Wednesday night when they
 presented Cooper & Milard's operetta,
 Little Red Ridinghood," was great
 success, it being patronized by the | largest audience ever assembled in As
 sociation hall. The stage front was
 decorated with a profusion of flowers
 and ferns, the stage settings, although | improvised, were unique and pleasing,
 and the white dresses of the partici-
 pants so festooned with roses as to
 cause the spectators to imagine that | they were indeed in fairy land. Miss
 Eda Norberg, as the Fairy Queen, | wielded the floral scepter with grace
 and dignity, and her solos and eloquent address in the denoument were so charmingly rendered as to evoke tre-
 mendous applause. Miss Oracle Re- vene, who is but seven years of age, acquitted herself in the title role with a perfection of an actress of mature years and long experiences; while Mas ter Wilfred Erwin, who is but nine years old, as the wolf, kept the au- dence in a roar of laughter, thereby sustaining his reputation as brilliant young vocalist and comedian. Special mention is also due to Miss Anna An derson who, as the Mother, rendered the pathetic portion in a delightful manner, and also to the large and at tractive chorus of fairies, all of whom did remarkably well. Among the in terludes between the acts were a char acter song and dance by Master Er- win, which drew forth an enthusiastic encore, ballad by Miss Lena Stevens of Wallingford, with violin obllgato by w. H. Hapgood, also of Wallingford; piano solo by Master Willie Stevens, sentimental song by our we'll known contralto, Miss Emma Holser, a vocal duet by little Misses Grace Revene and Marguerite Stevens. The production of ment of W. L. Marks, organist of St. Andrews church, with the efficient as- sistance of Mrs. J. s. D. Pardee and Mrs. Lee F. Revene. the latter of whom presided at the piano as accom- | panist for the vocal parts. Refresh ments were served after the curtain fell, and later the young people in- dulged in a pleasant hop, with music | and prompting by the Marks orchestra. |

BOTTLING THE SUNSHINE
Peculiar Results Obtained From the
 Use of Radium.

fecullar Results Obtained From the
 Use of Radium. | Bottled sunshine has at last become q possible thing, though somewhat costly
 Radium is the mineral which promises
 to furnish us with practically endurine | bottled sunshine. The peculiarity of this bottled sunshine, however. is that it is without heat.
 Professor Langley, who has been making experiments in this direction, | recently received two hermeticaIlv sealed vials containing radium, a mine ral discovered by Mme. Tklodowska Curie, 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 your little finer, an unceasing greenish- white light issues. This re- markable light gives it's immediate surroundings a peculiar glow, like that from X-rays.
 One of the vials contains a white. starchlike powder, and the other sim- liar substance broken into cubes with II.
 In the dark these vials give sufficient light to enable you to read a printed page if you hold it close to them. The power shown by this small quantity of radium leads the scientist to the con- clusion that half pound of the mine ral, if thinly spread out, would light an ordinary sitting room.
 Moreover, if in giving light the radi- um 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 question. Its energy is apparently in the mineral itself, for after being in the dark for couple of months the light given forth was nowfse weaker
 Curiously enough, chemists used hith- erto to treat radium as though it were valueless; but now the min eral has become so precious that it costs about two hundred pounds an ounce; for only small quantities of it are found in uranium, and its extrac- tion is very costly.
 This mysterious radium is capable of 3mitting two distinct sets of rays-one ike ordinary daylight and the other ike X-rays Moreover, the rays have | he effect of sunlight on a photographic | negative. Finally, tried as an X-ray | he light was found capable of photo | through the wood of a plate | Express.
