1.-THE proof that the radio
activity of radium consists in the
actual projecting from the ratium OF

GLIDING proof of general principle
that radio-activity is the passing OF
the minutest particles of matter and
not mere agitations in the ether
"Radium through the ages has
been giving off particles. These
particles are so minute that in the
span of mans lifetime grain of
radium would not give off sufficient
number of these particles to cause a
perceptible loss to the grain of rad
ium. But it has been calculated
that no radium now in existence has
endured more than 1000 years, and
that by 1000 years from now the
existing radlum will have gone off in
waves of particles.
''Radium will displace X-rays for
all scientific practitioners purposes.
That, of course, must be qualified
by saying it will if a sufficient amount
can be secured for sale at reasonable
commercial prices. The constancy
of the radio activity of radium is the
reason. The particles are given off
from radium every second of the
time. As long as the radium exists
it constantly gives off the waves of
particles.

Of Harvesting radium waves for heavy
mechanical work are absurd. But

The metal from which radium is ex-

and company has recently been
organized at Buffalo to produce it

Ut. ,nsvosSsrt a. Millikan,a physicist
of note at the University of Chicago,
says that within a few days he has

American company, and that he has
replied that the University of Chicago

1--WE have been too poor to buy
any radium, although very anxious
to do so, because the discussion OF
many questions brought up by it's
discovery is probably the most i'm
portant among the physicists,
chemists and Psychologists of Europe
today said DR.. Millikan. 'The
Societe Centrale of Paris purposes to
ask $4,000 gram for radium, which
is little more than $40, 600 an
ounce. Thus, to secure quantity
for experimental purposes here, unless
there can be some reduction in the
cost, we would have to spend as much
as it might take to ehdow depart
ment."
The scarcity OF the worlds supply
OF radium and the elaborate processes
required for its extraction account
for this enormous price. 1t is estimat-
ed that the complete supply of the
world is not more than two tons,
Prof. Herbert n Mccoy of the de-
partment Of chemistry says.
''The new substance, discovered
only three or four years ago, is found
principally in uranium. Pitch blenchs

we are hoping that possibly som,
American will exercise Yanke,
ingenuity and extract the new metal
more cheaply.
That America possesses consider
able amount of pitch blende, and
that an increase in the worlds supply
, OF uranium will be made now that
it's great valueis known, is believed
by DR.. Oliver G. Harrington, curator
OF the department of geology at the
Field Columbian museum and profes-
sional lecturer for the university. In
speaking OF Americas stores of rad
ium- producing minerals, he said:
Outside of the United States, the
only places where pitch blende is
found are Saxony, where the French
chemists are getting their supply;
Bohemia. Norway, where it is found
In granite, and Egypt.
! ''In the United States there are
three places where it is found in
quantities. One of these Is in North
Carolina, in Mitchell county, where
Jumps of the pitch blenie are found
in mica. These Jumps are not as
big as your fist. They are sold for
81 pound. Uranium is used for an
alloy. Uranium salts are used in
photography, and have been for many
FEARS.
1.-The other two places are in Colo
RADIO. One is in Gilpin county, where
the pitch-bende is found in silver
and gold ore. This was for a time
mined extensively, and sold at $500
q ton. But that did not pay, and it
was given up. The second place is
in the southwestern part of Colorado.
Here uranium is found in sandstone.
There is a yellow oxide of urania,
which Is spread out in extensive thin
layers. 1t is called carnotite, and
was mined for time but finally
given up as Improbable 1t had al
ready been discovered that radium,
with its remarkable powers, Is ex-
tracted from uranium. But since
then this has become more widely
known, and it may now make differ
ence. In Connecticut there are some
scattering samples of pitch blende,
interesting merely as geological curl
osities.
eff the powers of rsdium can be
turned to practical uses, and the
uranium therefore gets an increase
in value sufficient to warrant the cost
of mining and extracting radium,
think that uranium will be found in
many places unknown at present
Already it has been discovered in the

OF the many accidents that have recent
ly occurred on the Susquebanna Railroad,
the one which happened Thursday morn
ing, April 80, was the most serious. As
the long coal train came dashing down
the steep grade by Oak Ridge, it was 60
ing at terrific speed the grade being
very perceptible even to the people who
pass by, and as far as the engineer knew,
everything was all right for him TO pass
the switch; but as the train came on down
the track, and swung around sharp
curve, the engineer saw another train
coming up on the same track. Both engi
neers blew their whistles for down breaks,
set the reverse levers and took in the situa
tion in an instant The engineer, fireman
and all the brakemen on the down train
jumped off and let their train go on to
destruction; but this did not occur on the
up coming train. The engineer stuck to
his post, and as the trains came together
it made a crash that was heard nearly a
mile around. Inc engines DuGGed 6ogebner
with such force that they stood upright
The incoming cars crashed into them as
they fell over on the side of the track.
Seventeen coal cars piled themselves on
top of each other until they made heap
that reached the telegraph wires and which
broke them all, rendering them useless,
and stopping communications along the
entire line. The engineer who stayed on
his train, by a miracle was not killed, BIS
the engine on which he was, turned into a

that as the engines came together they
caught his feet and held them in the jAmb

after the accident, a large crowd gathered

OF HIS BIRTH WILL BE OBSERVED.

Literary Folk to Gather In Historic
COncOrd--Old Home of the Sage Re-
mains Unchanged-Graves of Noted
People In Sleepy Hollow.
Admirers Of Ralph Waldo Emerson
and literary folk generally are prepar-
ing for pilgrimage to Concord, Mass,
on May %, when the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of the New
England poet and philosopher is to be
observed by appropriate commemora-
tive exercises.
The arrangements for the affair are
in charge of the Social circle, an organ
ization founded in 1882, of which EN-
erson was a member for fortythree
years. The circle has but twenty-five
members, and only in case of vacan-
cy is a new member admitted.
The people Of Concord and Harvard
university are working with the Social
circle to insure the success of the cen
tennial, and the affair will be the most
notable literary gathering of the dec
ade. Harvard is especially interested,
since Emerson stands forth as perhaps
the most distinguished literary man in
the entire list of Harvard graduates,

be especially honored by his alma ma

The programme, as so far arranged
provides that the morning shall be
given over to the children, and services
will be held in the various public
schools. There will be many among
those present to whom this part of the
celebration will bring "reminiscences of
1873, when the boys and girls of Con-
cord turned out to welcome their ia
nous townsman on his return from
visit to Europe.
The principal feature of the observ-
ance, however, will be held in the aft
ernoon in the First Parish Meeting
House, where there will be addresses
by Professor Charles Eliot Norton,
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, Colo
mel Thomas Wentworth Higginson and
Professor William James of Harvard.
In the evening there will be dinner,
with a number of the old friends of
Emerson as guests of honor.
Centenary visitors will find much TO
