in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his

which, together with the severe heat,
gave him very severe diarrhoea which
it seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one of

a big dose was given him while he wap
rolling about. on the ground in great

fraternity has probably the Quecrcst
deck of cards i'll the world. 1t took him
twenty years to collect the pack, and
he is exceedingly proud Of it. He be-
gan by picking up playing cards in the
street whenever he happened to run
across them. He got fifteen or more
before he began striking duplicates.
Some days he would find two or three,
and then 1t would be months before ho
would see another stray pastcboard.
But lie was always watching for op-
portunities to add to his strange col
lection.
In ten years he was thirteen cards
short Of complete deck. In the next
three years he considered himself lucky
in finding oil but four. The missing
ones were the jack Of clubs, the deuce
and eight of diamonds and the trey Of
spades. In the course Of another year
he picked up the eight Of diamonds
and six months later was oyerjoycd to
find what he ut first thought was 4 full
deck Of cards lying OH the sidewalk or
broadway, near Forty-second street.
The jack Of clubs and the trey Of
spades were there all right, but five or
six cards were missing. and among
these was the deuce Of diamonds.
1t seemed as If he never would be
able to obtain his fifty-sccond card, but
the other day he entered one Of the
suburban trains on the Jersey Central
railroad and almost the first thing he
saw was the deuce Of diamonds face
upward in the aisle, says the New
York World. 1t was gilt edged and
glossy backed, the finest of them all.
He had been searching for this iden-
teal card for FIVE and half years and
NOV brca thed q sigh Of relief.
TheNpack is composed Of cards Of all
qualities, tfrom the cheapest to the
highest priced. Some are clean and
bright; othels ore sollcd and worn.

DOUBLE TRACKING ON SOUTHERN

The Charlotte News says: "The
double tracking Of the Southern is
being pushed rapidly. A lorge force
of hands is at work now at Orange
and another force is near Alexan-
dria, These will continue to push
the work until it is completed be-
tween these points.
+ Owing to the immense amount
Of trouble, such as wrecks, floods
and landslldes, the force OF hands
that was to have been put to work
at Charlotte and Spencer, have
been detained at other points. Just
as soon as these damages are re-
paired and the main line is in
good running order, these forces
will be put at work double track
ing between Greensboro and Char

One Of the. prominent Southern
officials says that just as soon as
the Southern can get over the big
trouble that it has encountered
within the past 80 days, a large
force Of hands will be located south
of Danville laying the double track
Already the engineers and survey
ors are Oh the ground laying off
the lines for the extra trackags.
These are now at work between
Lynchburg and Danville. They
will finish up that division within

RADiUM.

Glass vessels in which radium has
been washed acquire its power Of emit
ting rays.
A bit Of radium as big as a grain Of
sand sends out enough rays to blister
the skin.
Radium has been known to give out
heat for year or two with no percep-
tible diminution. Nobody knows wheth-
er this process can be kept up indefl-
nitely or not.
A ton Of radium, according to Sir
William Crookes, might be worth the
whole national debt of Great Britain,
not allowing for any further decline in
the price Of consols.
Sir William Crookes still believes
that the amount of energy in the uni
verse Is constant quantity, and he
thinks that in some way not yet ex-
planned the radium replenishes It's en-
ergy from the movements Of the mole
cules Of air surrounding it.
