"A PAINT

Wonderful Work Of Abor|g|nes

Washington. April 27.--Prof William
II. Holmes chief OF the bureau OF eth

aboriginal paint mine near Leslie. Prof.
Holmes says this mine is the most re-
! markable yet discovered In this country
lie has examined at different times
twelve similar workings.
Prof Holmes said today, In speaking
OF the mine: 1T was discovered by
men who are working the iron mines OF
Lewis Cox. near Leslie. The ore is
black hematite. almost as hard as iron
itself. The miners came upon ancient
tunuelings and pittings.
THE stratum Of ore lay beneath the
surface of broad valley and I'm one
place an area OF 1000 by 1000 feet The
stratum was literally honeycombed with
these ancient galleries. They were
driven through the hardest part OF the

FREMoNT's BAD DREAM.
The kidnapping story Looked Into by
the Secret Service.

Washington, March 27.-Secretary
Shaw has received Representative
letter telling of ]. G. Free
mont's story about a plot for kidnap-
ing Secretary Root and himself and
Attorney General Knox while they
are in the west with the president.
He laughed at it, but as a matter Of
form it was turned over to the secret
service bureau and will be investi-
gated. At the white house it is stat
ed that the alleged plot must be more
or less a joke or else Fremont had a
bad dream, because neither Of the
cabinet officials mentioned is to be
with the president in the west unless
possibly Secretary Shaw may go with
him for an Iowa visit. AS to the pres
ident himself, it is said that the usual
precautions for his safety will be TAX
en- and il any attempt at kidnapping is
made, the kidnapers will have a hard
time of it and perhaps themselves be
kidnapped.

Paris, March 26.-Major General
Hector Mcdonald, commanding the
British forces in Ceylon and one of
the foremost officers in the British
army, against whom charges based
on immoral acts were filed some time
ago, committed suicide yesterday at
the Regina here. He shot himself in
the right temple shortly after noon,
and expired a few moments later.
The general was alone in his small
chambers at the time of the tragedy.
One of the female attendants heard
the pistol shot and, opening the door,
saw the generals figure stretched out
on the floor with the blood gushing
from a bullet wound in the head. She
ran screaming to the balcony over
looking the lobby of the hotel where
many guests, including a number OF
ladies. we're assembled. The proprie-
tor of the hotel was the first to reach
the expiring man. Medical help was
Immediately summoned, but it was
found to be useless, death ensuing
quickly on the fatal act.
Police Notified.
The commissary Of police was not1-
fed and accompanied by a doctor,
proceeded to a preliminary investi-
CATION. No money or papers of any
kind were found in Sir Hector's bag
gage. Two notes written in English
were found lying on a table in his
room, and. these were taken posses
sion of by the authorities, but it is
understood that their contents have
no bearing on the suicide. In the gen.
erals coat lying on the bed were
found some photographs.

South Pole Believed to Be Located on

London, March 26-President Mark
ham OF the Royal Geographical So
ciety, commenting on the achieve
ments of the British Antarctic ship
Discovery, says it has been proved
conclusively that the greater part of
the Antarctic region is a vast con
tinent.
Captain Scott, the commander of
the Discovery, penetrated 100 miles
further south than any previous ex-
plorer and discovered an extensive
mountainous region, hitherto abso-
lutely unknown, extending to 1920
south. He thinks this indicates that
the land stretches to the pole in a
series of very lofty mountains, which
is considered to be far the most geo.
graphical result yer achieved in
Antarctic exploration.
The Discovery wintered 400 miles
further south than any vessel had
previously wintered.

HEAT WITHOUT COMBUSTION.
One Of the Wonderful Properties Of
the New Metal Radium.

London, March 27.-Radium, the
mysterious substance which lately &C.
cupied the Investigations Of Professor
Crookes and other prominent scien-
lists, is the subject Of a most import
and and interesting communication,
just made to the French Academy
of Sciences by M. Curie, a French
physicist of high reputation and at
tainments. His statement would
have been received with absolute in
credulity if it had been offered by
a less unimpeachable authority.
Assisted by his clever wife in iso-
lating radium, M. Curie discovered
that it possesses the extraordinary
property of constantly emitting heat
without combustion, without chemical
change of any kind, and without any
change in it's molecular structure,
which remains spectroscopically iden-
tical after many months Of continuous
emission of heat. He found further
that radium maintains it's own tenn
perature at a point LIS centigrade
above its surroundings.
This is equivalent to saying that
the actual quantity of heat evolved
is such that the pure radium salt
would melt more than its own weight
of ice every hour, or that half q
pound of radium salt would evolve in
one hour heat equal to that produced
by burning one-third of a cubic foot
of hydrogen gas, this evolution OF
heat going on constantly for indefinite
periods, leaving the salt at the end
of months Of activity just as potent
as it was at the beginning.
The world is thus made acquainted
| with a heat sufficient to raise mercury
in a thermometer ~ degrees fahren-
heit, the output of which is main
tanned indefinitely without any visible
compensation to the heat giving body.
It is not to- be supposed, however.
that perpetual motion has been at
last discovered. Physicists do not
| double that the effect brought to the
knowledge of M. Curie has a cause
and investigation of that cause is re-
garded as being full of promise for
the future.

Helena. March 26.-Bessie May
Young, the young m who was in
directly the of a serious, if not
fatal, assault upon Carl Dowell by her
father in Missoula on Monday after
noon, and who has been employed as
a bookkeeper for DIR. Edwin s. KEEL
logg for the past few days, left Hell
ena this evening for Missoula with
the intention Of clearing her W
name and that of Dowell from the
scandal that has attached to them as
a result of the tragedy.
Miss Young said today that she
and Dowell had arranged to. be mar
ried, that the postponement of the
ceremony had been amicably arranged
between them, and that the assault
was entirely u%nprovoked and the re-
suit Of the malicious gossip of Mrs.
c. E. Grinnell, with whom the girl
had been boarding while attending the
Garden City Commercial college. Miss
Young came to Helena about six
weeks ago, in search of work. and was
given employment by DR.. Kellogg in
the capacity of bookkeeper.
During the time she was with DR..
Kellogg, previous to the tragedy, she
told him that she was engaged to be
married to Mr.. Dowell, but that the
ceremony had been postponed out OF
respect to the wish of Mr.. Dowelps
mother, who, the girl said, was up
ward of 68 years of age, and who
had requested her son not to marry
until she would no longer need his
aid. 4 -
On reading Of the tragedy, DR.. Kel-
logg took the newspaper containing
an account of the cutting to Miss
Young, whom he had known as May
Young. On reading the news the
girl was Frustrated and informed DR..
kellogg that it was her father and
fiancee who were the principals in
the tragedy.
Learning that the sherih's Office had
been requested by the Missoula sher
if to endeavor to find the girl, DR..
kellogg notified the officer that the
girl was in his employ. b.
Miss Young is of the belief that
Mrs. Grinnell is responsible for the
tragedy. She stated that she and hel
landlady were not the best of friends
and that when she decided to come
to Helena she did not tell Mrs. Grin
nell where she was going, but mere
~ settled her bill and left. Mrs. Grin
nell, it seems. then jumped at the
conclusions, and Immediately wrote
Mr.. Young that his daughter had dis
