Der His recent alteration with Mr..
Lodge-on which occasion both the dis
tinguished gentlemen behaved some
thing like unruly schoolboys-will be
remembered, but it is seldom indeed
that the Colorado statesman forgets
senatorial dignity. Since 1876, with
the exception of the three years 1882 to
1885, when he held the portfolio Of
secretary of the interior in the cabinet
of President Arthur, and a few years
thereafter, Senator Teller has repre-
sented the state of Colorado in the up.
per house. His present term expires
in 1903.
Quiet and reserved in manner,
though genial enough among his asso-
ciates, the senator is popular with
those whom he comes in contact with
on official business, and age has in no
way impaired his exceptional ability.
He is 72 years old. In politics Senator
Teller is an Independent Silver Repub-
lican.
The ladies of the cabinet" as the
wives of President Roosevelt's advis-
ers are called in Washington, have re-
sumed their weekly receptions. Dur
ing the Mckinley administration the
ladies of the cabinet" held a caucus
and agreed to discontinue these fea-
lures of the social life at the capital,
because the Refreshments served at re-
ception cost about $40. No secret was
made of the reason for stopping the
receptions and the cabinet women
came in for a great deal of criticism.
They were called stingy and inhospi-
table by the wives of rich congressman
and senators, who were in the habit of
giving dinners at which the favors for
each guest cost more than did the re-
freshments for a so-called cabinet re-
ception. The cabinet women refused
to give in, however, and no receptions
were held until this winter. The wives
of the congressman have endeavored to
get revenge by remaining away from
the rehabilitated functions.

The Montana sapnhirss.

Mr.. George F. Kunz, the well-known
gem expert, in reporting on the sap
phires of Montana, which first attract
ed attention in 1891, and which have
been extensively prospected for since,
states that the region extends for a
distance of six miles along the Mis-
souri, river, the central point being
Spokane bar. about twelve miles from
Helena. while another point is at Yogo
Gulch. seventy-five miles to the east,

RadIo-Actlre Lead Sand.

Holman and Strauss have obtained
radioactive salts of lead from various
rare minerals. The radioactive lead
differs in many respects from ordinary
lead in its chemical behavior. but it
has not yet been obtained in its pure
state. All the various salts have a
similar action upon the electroscope,
but only the sulphate is capable of act
ing upon Photographic plate through
glass or aluminium; moreover, the sui
phate becomes particularly active in the
latter respect after having been evapo-
rated by nitric and sulphuric acids OF
after having been ignited at 450 de-
grees for fifteen hours with access OF
air. 1t appears also that while radio
active lead sulphate acts more ener-
getically on Photographic plate than
certain polonium radioactive bis
muth) preparations the latter have a
much greater action in discharging the
electroscope. 1t follows from this that
the rays detected by Photographic
means are not identical with those that
produce electric discharges.

The device shown in the accompany
ing drawing does not look vicious
enough to combat successfully with a
burglar until you notice the wicked
little gun way down in the corner of
the picture. 1t is the hidden foe
against which the burglar has no
power to fight. The use of the electric
current, with its numerous wires and
switches, is already quite common as a
protective agency, but the apparatus
may become disarranged or the
strength of the batteries diminish and
the alarm prove ineffective just at the
time it is needed. With this device
there is the one movable platform and
trigger operating mechanism, complete

fed to good, well-bred stock, than to
scrubs. One way l have found profit
in the oat crop is, we live in a country
where we raise winter wheat. / al
ways had better yield of wheat, from
three to five bushels to the acre, when
1t followed an oat crop, and could al

New Work on Radlum.

A new series Of experiments has
been carried out by Bertholet on radi-
UNI with reference TO its chemical ac-
tomas shown upon several compounds.
The radium used was enclosed in one
sealed glass tube within another, and
in some of the experiments within a
third, so that its influence was much
weakened and some of the active rays
altogether cut on The action took
place in the dark and was exceedingly
slow. Iodine pentoxid was decompos-
ed by the radium rays just as by light,
and the same was true of nitric acid.
Since both these reactions are endoth-
ernie the radium must furnish chemi-
cal energy. The change of rhombic
sulphur into the insoluble variety, an
exothermic reaction which is effected
by light was not effected by the rays of
radium. They have no influence upon
acetylene, which is very sensitive to
the action of the electric current but
is not affected by light Oxalic acid
was also not changed, though 1t is
readily oxidized even In diffused light.
The glass tubes containing the radium
were blackened, probably owing to a
reduction of the lead, and a purple
tint noticed in the glass was probably
due to an oxidation of manganese.

the most essential points in starting
