Radium was the subject matter under
discussion, and lawyer said, according
to the Philadelphia Record: 81 don't
see anything so very wonderful in ra-
dunn. Admit that it does throw off
light and heat in a kind of perpetual
motion, without any loss of weight or
energy-well, won't grain of musk do
the same thing? One single grain of
musk (this has been demonstrated) will
scent for several years a room ~ feet
square, and in the end the grain will
still remain entire. Consider what this
means A room - feet square contains
2,SS5,984 cubic inches, and each one
tenth cubic inch at least must have it's
little molecule of musk, or otherwise all
the air would not be perfumed. One
grain of musk, that is to say, will radi-
ate millions and millions of musk frag-
nnents for years, and still will remain
whole. Can radium beat that?"

Sunlight for Tuberculosis.

In several places in this country, es-
pecially in the west, experiments are
being made with the hope of. curing
tuberculosis by concentrating the SUM-
rays upon the chests of the sufferers.
The reflector is generally a concave
mirror about three feet in" diameter,
sometimes OVERLAND with blue glass.
All the light reflected from it is con-
centrated upon an area six inches in
diameter. Thus an intense blue light
is obtained, which, it is asserted, is
sufficiently strong to pass entirely
through the body, and even to repro
duce picture placed upon the back.
The patients chest is barred and he is
seated in front of the reflector. The
intense light is thrown upon his chest
for two hours or more each day. 1t is
asserted that the light penetrates the
lungs and destroys the bacilli.-N. Y.

TAUGHT Al4ERlcAN MANNERS.
Male Immigrants Receive ForefbIe
Lesson ms Soon as They Reach
Our Gates.

The first lesson in American manners
learned by the male immigrants is usu-
ally impaired at the gates of Ellis island
Having passed inspection, proved his
fitness to become an American citizen
and received his discharge from guard
ianship, he marshals his family and
starts for the boat landing, says the New
York Post. He leads the group him
self, conducting the youngest walking
member of the family, and carrying a
bag or small parcel in his hand. Be-
hind him trot the children, all laden,
then the wife, bending beneath a huge
bundle of household goods or even a
heavy trunk. Last of all staggers the
grandmother, literally bent double un-
der the load she carries.
Suddenly the head of the family is
rudeIy accosted in an unknown tongue
by one of the officials of the island.
There is nothing Hnintelligible in the
manner In which the said officer re-
lieves the mother and grandmother of
their burdens and the immigrant. to his
amusement, finds himself finishing his
Journey to the boat carrying the heav-
lest OF the load on his own anaccus-
toned shoulders. while the oldest bows
shoulder the rest. This is an everyday
occurrence at Ellis island.

Police Court ON Racecourse.

1t is not generally known that the
chief magistrate at Bow street is by stat
ute made a justice Of the peace for the
county of Berks to enable him to sit in
an occasional courthouse" during AS
cot races. 1t is said that In the early
days of the races at Ascot, an assault
having been committed on royal per-
sonage, directions were given thatthere-
after magistrate should always be in
attendance during the races, so that he
might be terror to evil-doers, and be
able to deal summarily with all of that
class frequenting the course who might
merit such treatment. 1t may be add
ed that by virtue of his Office the chief
magistrate at Bow street is justice of
the peace for no fewer than six coun-
ties.--London Tit-Bits.

CONSTANTJNOPLE. Aug. 15.+=The
Turkish troops which have been oper-
ating against Krushevo, the Macedo-
nian town which was held by the rev.
olutionists, have relieved that place.
Seven battalions had been concentrat-7
ed there. The fnsurgent force which
held the town was said to number sew

The Turkish gendarme Hahn, who
murdered NJ. Rostkowski, the Russian
consul at Monastir, last Saturday, has
been convicted and put to death.
The Turkish government has offered

murdered consul.
A number of encounters between rev.
olutionists and government detach-
ments have occurred in the vilayet Of
Monastir
The insurgents attacked the village
of Gumenidje, in the vilayet Of Salon
ilSa. The attacking party threw bombs,
but according to official dispatches,
was repulsed with heavy loss.
The ambassadors of the various pow
ers have demanded that the porte guar
antee protection to the consuls and
subjects Of their respective countries
at Monastir. The grand vizier, Ferfd
Pasha, promised that effective meas
ures should be adopted to that end.
The operations of the insurgents have
created panic in Monastir. The least
movement on the part Of the revolu-
tionary committees results in the clos
ing of the shops
Similar conditions prevail in Salonf-
ka. The inhabitants are in constant
fear that the slightest move on the
part of the committees will cause mas
sacres of the Bulgarians by Mussul-
mans.

Trtafng Conversational.

The Shrubville Clarion has an editor
who tries never to let the grass grow un-
der his feet. His celebrity helps him to
acquire news, but it is also the cause of
an occasional paragraph like the fol-
lowing, taken from recent issue:
Last week we gave the particulars of
a devastating fire in the town of Jenkins,
with the number and names of the vic
Tins. We now wish to correct few mac
curacies such as will sometimes find
their way into the first report of any ca
tastrophe. There were no victims, for
the confagTation was checked before it
actually. took place We may also add
that the fire was not in Jenkins, but in
the town of Scranton. "-Y outh's Com
