to Remove Her.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Mrs. Carrie A.
Nation appeared In the principal role
Of a sensational scene at the white house
yesterday. Her request to see the presl-

and had to be taken from the executive
offices by two police officers. AS she was
being escorted from the building she
shouted at the top OF her voice, gesticu-
lating violently: Il am going to pray
for a prohibition president, and we Will
have one-one who will represent the
people, and not the distillers and brew
ers. You may put me out OF the build
Ing, but II brewer or liquor dealer were
here, he would have been admitted at
once"
Officers Dalrymple and Kemp were
obliged to use some force to induce her
to leave the executive offices, and final
ly conducted her outside OF the white
house grounds. All the while she con-
tinued to declaim her principles and to
rail at the president for not receiving
her. OF course, until some time after
ward, the president knew nothing OF
her presence at the white house.

POSSIBILITIES OF RADIUM.
Many Material Problems May De
Solved Through the Newly
Discovered Substance.

1t will be seen at once that the ma
terial possibilities of radium are
enormous Among many suggestions
as to the outcome, are: the transmu-
tation of metals (the making of gold
no less) solving the problem OF light
without heat; the perfection OF wire
less communication; the cure OF GER
tain phases of blindness; new sources
Of heat, and since it would now seem
that there is, after all, but one sub
stance in the world (Which appears to
our untutored sense to assume various
forms merely because each form con-
tains special number Of particles to
the atom, chemistry may undergo
such a regeneration as will result in
the most unheard-of discoveries, says
an article on "Radium and Human
Life" in Everybody's Magazine.
Already an hypothesis has been
worked out to the effect that the
emanatiens from radium and kindred
substances are on par with the rays
which go to make up the aurora Dor
calls. 1t is, in fact, thought quite pos
sible that the aurora is merely cathode
or Roentgen rays on gigantic scale,
and the phenomenon of Roentgen rays
is analogous to that Of rad!um rays.
Out of this has come the suggestion
that we may soon be able to predict
weather changes with greater accu-
racy than heretofore. The bearing OF

lation, also, 10 important
