IN OLD DAYS OF THE BUSES.
A Philadelphia Mans Collection OF
the First Tickets.

A PhiIadeI phia Mans Collection of
the First Tickets.
II is odd to think of q common ex-
change ticket having greater com
mercial value than one trolley fare,
and yet E. H. D. Fraley, of this city,
has a collection OF somewhat similar
coupons that he would not sell for very
nearly the cost of an entire line OF
street cars. For they are none other
than genuine tickets for the first line
of omnibuses ever operated in Phila-
delphia.
When Mary Deschamp inaugurated,
in the early '30s, the first Philadelphia
bus line, she stood supreme in vast
and unlimited field. She was French,
as her name indicates, and when still
young in her business career linked
both her financial and matrimonial for
tunes with an enterprislng fellow coun'
tryman, Joseph Glenats. The busi-
ness prospered amazingly, and was ex'
tended so frequently that Glenats be-
came universally known as the ma
poleon of omnibuses."
The Napoleon and has wife soon hac
over 200 buses In operation on most OF
the principal streets of the city. The
starting point for all the routes was
the old Merchants Exchange. now the
reconstructed Stock Exchange, al
Third, Dock and Walnut streets. All
the business life Of Philadelphia cen.
tered at that place, and from there
all the buses started, at half-hour In
tervals, their trips northward on Sec
ond, Third, Fourth. Fifth and Sixth
streets. The upper end Of the route
was usually Poplar street, and the
stable was located at Beach and Pop
lar streets.
The Deschamp- Glenats alliance, how
ever, was not always allowed to tread
its primrose path unchecked. After
some years of prosperity formidable
competitor arose in shrewd Jacob Pc
ters. whose new Tenth street line
thrived amazingly. 1t is said to ha u
prospered largely on account Of the
penuricus methods of its proprietor

DISCOVERY OF RApIUM.
It fsa Product of Pitchblende-Itl
Effect on the Eody.

1t Is Product of Pitchblende-Its
Effect on the Eody.
No one, not even Nine. Curle, the
discoverer, has yet seen radlum In a
pure state, says Theodore Waters in
Everybody's Magazine. 1t has been
possible to obtain II so far only In COM
bInation with other material. 1t Is
Judged by the effect Of IFS properties,
which are truly remarkable. 1t Is a
product of pitchblende, which is found
deep in the earth. The quantity al
ready found is so small that the tigur-
alive price of gram has been placed
at $4,000. 1t may be that there are
large quantities of It stored under the
surface somewhere, but the man who
found quantity of it in state Of any
thing like purity would probably not
live to tell the tale. The particles
which fly from II are Charged with elec-
tricity, and at night 1t shines
forth with a phosphorescence which
has been shining since the beginning
OF all things, and which will go on
shining until the final extinction Of all
matter. A small quantity of It in
the possession of NJ. Curie has caused
the most painful bllsters when brought
IN contact with the skin. A small par
ticle Of radium salt was sealed In a
glass tube, placed in pasteboard box
land tied TO Prof. Curle's sleeve for an
hour and a half 1t produced sup
purating sore, which did not heal for
over three months. Prof. Curie thinks
that a person entering a room contain
ing a mound of radium would be blind

The first suggestion toward the dis
covery Of radlum came when a west
ern college professor demonstrated the
fact that many common substances
have the power of storing up sunlight
and emitting 1t again at night. Com
mon sugar is the most luminous OF
these substances. Not only does the
sugar emit light at night, but the dis
coyerer was able to take photographs by
means of It In an otherwise perfectly
dark room. Among the substances tried
with the sugar was uranium, an ore
which. as BecQuerel discovered, does
not need sunlight to enable 1t to give
of radlations, but which emits then
spontaneously all the time, night ane
dav. Following the lead OF Becquerel
Nine. and NJ. Curle made an exhaustive
examination Of the pitchblende, whicl
was radioactive. 1t was a task O
endless separations, Of continual divid
Ings, Of constant assayings. until a
last nothing was left but the salt tina
