How Much Radium in Yours?

How Much Radium in Yours?
The London dispatches which state
that the price of radium has dropped
from $l,o0O,00O to 100000 a pound-a
pound, mind you-is doubtless of some
interest to men of science but to most
of us it is vastly more important that
the price of coal may possibly drop
another dollar ton before the bin is
again empty. Radium isn't q COM
modify which common people depend
on as necessity of life. and not even
our most plutocratic pIutocrats in
dulge in its possession as a luxury.
There are only two pounds of radium
in the world. but just now this,> re-
markabie metal is getting talked
about in the newspapers almost as
much as though Mr.. Bryan had pro-
posed to make it the basis of a. new
currency system.
Seriously speaking, the scientific
world is just now aghast over the dis
covery of the properties of radium, the
rarity of which can be judged by its
price To produce two pounds of it
requires the reduction of 5000 tons of
uranium, itself an expensive metal
From an interesting article on this
scientific sensation in the Philadelphia
Inquirer, we gather that it's chief
characteristic is its radial quality
that IS its power to give off an enor-
nous amount of light. almost equal to
that of the sun proportionately, and
that, too. without much heat 1t is a
fine white powder that CLOVIS in the
dark like phosphorus and SO far as IS
known loses none of it's properties as
time passes on. Its rays are so strong
that the celebrated X-rays which as
tonished us few years ago seem like
plaything. 1t is claimed that photo
graphs have been taken by rays which
have passed from radium through
three feet of solid steel. This seems
impossible but not more so than that
the Roentgen rays should go through
wood or cloth
Just what place it is to take in the
world is as yet uncertain. II is
claimed by it's discoverer that the light
il emits is SO strong that to enter q
room where a pound of it is exposed
would blind a person; even pinch of
II carefully wrapped in Il paper and
carried i'll the pocket blisters the
skin instantly. There is only n wee bit
of the metal in this country and it was
imported with considela able difficulty
owing to its strange qualities. 1t is
hoped by scientists that it will be
possible to use il in medicine for the
purpose of killing germs which cannot
be reached in any other way Finsen,
the Danish physician, has recently eff
fected complete cures of lupus. one of
the most loathsome and hitherto fatal
diseases. by means of modified electric
light, but no electric light compares in
power with the rays of radium.
Scientists have learned enough to make
them believe that it will be of great
value to mankind, and we trust that
in this case some means will be taken
to reduce the cost of production to Il
figure that will permit of its proper
use.

JUDGE PORTER'S CHARGE.
A Protest Against Lynching-An Ap
peal for Law and Order.

The charge of Judge Porter to the
rand jury of Natchitoches will leave
its impress on every citizen favoring not
only law and rider but justice. Unfor-
tunately there are beings who assume
that a nigger, like a wild beast. may be
shot and killed at will for any provoca-
ton. Judge Porter condemns the mob.
He upholds the law There can be no
excuse for lynching except the nameless
crime. The case to which Judge Porter
calls special attention is the lynching of
a negro near Robeline. This negro had
resisted arrest Il am informed,' says
Judge Porter. that about the Ist of
this month a negro man was taken from
the lookup in the town of Robeline and,
as am informed, after being beaten in
the most inhun1an manner, was stran-
gled to death by being hung to tree
The. victim of the mob in this case was
not charged with that nameless crime
w,-ich sometimes plunges whole COM
tnurl+les into frenzy of rage and
briggs swift justice upon the perpetra-
tor So vcr observe that the mob in this
case not only assumed the right to exc
cute the law, but actually exercised the
highest power of the sovereign, the
power to make the law. The community
IN which this helpless prisoner was
murdered-and it was murder in the
sight of God and n1an-is noted for its |
schools and churches, its Christian men
and women, and its cultured society
and [ am happy to say that the sub |
stantial people in that community are
united in condemning the outrage"
1t IS not expected that the grand Jury
will fnd bill against any one connect
ed with this nobbing but Judge Porter's |
charge will have good effect. 1t will
at least stand as protest against this
act OF the lynchers-a condemnation of |
IN unwarranted, an illegal assumption
ot authority on the part Of citizens Who'll
should rphond the law. Lynching canf
not be excused, except for the name1ess
crime, in civilized community whereI
courts and juries can dispense even
landed justice and n1ete out punishment
commensurate to the crime committed.
