HIS SECOND THOUGHT.
The stage Driver Acted on 1t and
Saved His Passengers.

Saved His Passengers.
Back in the good old days when
nerves and railroads were little known
an old stage road ran from Lake
Champlain to Ogdensburg, N. Y, pass
Ing through the little town of Sodom.
This village nestled in valley be-
tween two great hills, over which the
white ribbon Of the road wound steep
ly
Upon one of the trips Of the stage the
regular driver, who had been at home
for some weeks recovering from an Ill
ness, was riding inside, while the red
haired. mild featured, big boned Irish
man acting us his substitute occupied
the drivers seat upon the box. The day
was beautiful one, and the passen-
gers were enjoying their drive keenly,
their appetites increasing as the dis
lance lessened between them and the
town of SOdom. with it's promised
pause for refreshment
Suddenly as the heavy stage llm-
bered over the brow of the hill, down
which the road plunged at sharp an
gle. running through the little town at
its foot and ascending the hill beyond
the passengers became conscious that
their pace had been recklessly in
creased. Faster and faster they went,
dashing down the hill at a rate RAPIDLY
becoming furious one. Trees and
bushes at last became but a dizzyinc
blur along the road. All chung to the
reelng stage and held their breath in
terror, while on the stage raced, down
the hill with ever increasing speed, into
the town, past the hostelry with the
waiting host left standing in amaze at
the door, past the post office without
pause, and out upon the road lead
ing up the face of the hill beyond.
There the pace slackened, and as the
lhclihc grew more steep at last the
smoking horses came to a standstill.
With one accord the dazed passengers

regular driver comprehended the mean

means of guidance, had been exposed.

Later, back at the inn, when the ex-

fresh horses were being put to the re-

and asked:

located at Raleigh
The question of ways and means Tor
building the Temple then became OF para
mount Importance, and while discussing
various ways of raising funds, Mr.. john
C. Drewry, Grand Secretary, proposed
having Masonic Bazaar, as 1t was
thought by this means several thousand
dollars could be raised. This suggestion
was adopted but has been en-
larged upon from time to tlme'
until it was proposed to carry
out this idea, not only in local
way. in the city of Raleigh, but to have
the Grand Lodge of North Carolina en-
dorse this scheme and make 1T big State
Masonic Fair, instead of local bazaar
The idea grew from time to time and be-
came so large that it was necessary TO
secure the services of some expert to man
age the Fair. After consulting with va
rious Masonic authorities throughout the
United States, it was learned that Col
Noble f. Martin was a genius in this
line. His efforts had always been sue
cesful and he had rendered material ser
vices in building number OF Masonic
Temples throughout the United States. 1t
was decided to secure his services, If ii
could be done on satisfactory terms. This
was done.

undoubtedly see the object of all our
efforts realized This is within reason
able probability and with the proper
spirit may be accomplished. If every
Mason throws himself into the work with
all his energy and influence, this emil
nently desirable result may be reached,
and the Masonic Fair of 1908 will be an
event historic in Masonry in this city,
THE DONORS AND THEIR GIFTS.
A Fair has never been held in the prep
aration for which greater generosity has
been exhibited by the business men OF the
city, and the Executive Board of the Ma
sonic Fair Association will be warmly en-
dorsed by all Masons in formally express
ing their acknowledgements OF this llber-
atty In point of value of individual pres
ents, in the vast numbers OF donations, III
the fine taste displayed in their choice,
and in the care taken that they should
be properly and promptly delivered, the
Masonic Fair has been favored beyond any
enterprise of the character hitherto pro-
jected in Raleigh. This has enabled
those in charge of the Fair to make the
beautiful display which will be presented
to arrange booths with some regard for
order, as well as attractiveness, and tc
leave nothing incomplete or to be hastily
provided at the last moment.
Entirely apart from the money value
of gifts made. they seem to have been
chosen for their appropriateness, with
rare skill. They could not have been bet
ter selected had the donors met and de-
IL al of
curing variety both as to use and display.
: Thus the Fair is enabled to be organized
on the scale of a grand bazaar, wherein
color. form, intrinsic work and practical
use of the articles exhibited. all enter in
to make the mise en- scene effective.
The cordial thanks of the Fair Associa-
ton are therefore, extended to the don
ors for their hberahty and good taste,
and the graciousness which characterized
their offerings The. whole Masonic Fra
ternity of North Carolina will join in
these acknowledgements, and the Temple
and its fittings will be to them constant
reminder of the donors.
SOME OF THE REASONS WHY THE
FAIR is HELD.
The Grand Lodge of North Carolina has
been considering the proposition to build
a Masonic Temple in this State for a
number of years. At the session of tht
Grand Lodge of 1901. committee was
appointed 20 secure options on sites 4

for the building of Temple. Nothing
definite, however, was done by this COM
mittee AT the session of the Grand Lodge
in 1902, General VIM H. Cox, Past Crane
Master, moved that the number of thu
committee be increased and that this com
mlttee be instructed to proceed at once
to adopt ways and means for building
Masonic Temple for the Grand Lodge o
North Carolina. This committee proceed
ed at once to business, and they aske'
for bids from several cities. The BIZ

RADIUM SHOWN IN NEW YORK,
Two Grains Which Cost $500 and all the Pro-
duct of Ton of Pitchbleude.

The crowds that visited the museum Of
natural history to see the specimen of
radlum exhibited there yesterday did not
see q substance shining with a mysteri-
Gus and powerful brilliancy, as many evil
IDENTIFY expected, but, instead, peered into
glass case at a tiny tube containing
fine gray powder. Nevertheless, what
they saw was the largest sample in the
country of the marvellous substance dis
covered in 1900 by Mr.. and Mrs. Curie
This sample weighs two grains, or 125
miligrams, and is of 100000 radio-acti-
witty. 1t cost $500. 1t was secured with
great difficulty through the generosity of
Edward D. Adams by DR., Charles Bask
erville, physicist of the University of
North Carolina, and George F. Kunz,
curator of gems at the n.useum. These
men have been conducting series of ex
periments on the properties of diamonds
with the Bement- Morgan collection. The
radium was purchased for the purpose of
testing a peculiar property of gems re.
Gently discovered. When certain gems
are exposed to X-ray or 70 the ultra
violet they will glow with a phosphores-
cent hight for some moment, after the re-
moval of the ray. 1t is now found that
radium possesses this same power over
precious stones. The law governing this
phenomenon has not yet been discovered.
Private experiments will be made by
several physicians of this Guy to deter
mine the effect of the radium rays on
various disease cultures. Details and re-
suits will be made public later. This
specimen Is to remain the property of the
museum of natural history.
IF l should take a large tube of it
down celler, would it give enough light
to chop wood by?" asked one visitor
from the suburbs.
Yes, If you had any hand left to hold
an axe after carrying that tube down
stairs answered the attendant
The fact is that if the tube contain
ing radium is held against the skin
burn results, similar to that produced
by the X-ray. 1t is this effect on animal
tissue that leads to the hope of using it
for medical purposes. If placed in the
dark it gives a faint yellow glow, like
that OF a glow-worm. The temperature
of particle of radium is always two or
three degrees higher than that of the
Immediately surrounding substance. 1t
seems to be giving off heat without los
ing weight.
The specimen on exhibition here is not
pure radium, but a compound of radium
and bromine, radium bromide. 1t is
made from a mineral called pitchblende,
some of which was shown yesterday
This is found in Hungary and Colorado.
A ton of pitch-blende was required to
produce the two grains of radium.

SUBLIME SCENES AMONG THE ALPS
From Milan to Lucerne and On. Descriptions of In
terlaken and Berne.

Berne, August 2.-On the 2Sth of July
we Travelled from Milan to Lucerne
-21S miles, This route leads over
the st. Gothard Railroad, one of the
most picturesque and sublime in
the world, with rs tunnels, one of which
is miles in length-the longest in the
world With the Alps above you and fer
tile valleys with green fields beneath it is
a scene rarely equaled. Time and agair
the road crosses it's own path, and you
can look down the almost perpendicular
sides of the mountain and see the holes
still smoking whence your train just
emerged Ever and anon you cross some
rushing stream a hundred feet below you
At times cascades can be seen in the
distance like silver ribbons hanging on
the mountain from summit to base, while
the Hottest peaks are crowned with per-
petual snow. On account of the topo-
graphy of the country Brunig Pass has
been a gateway from the time of the Ro-
mans till the present. In 1892 the French
after several lepulses, gained a victory
over the Austrians, which was the begin
ming of the French supremacy In the
afternoon we arrived at Luceine, lying on
a lake of the same name with mountains
in every direction, rising at an angle of
almost As degrees. We assembled one of
these on a cable car, and viewed the
country, city and lake in their beauty
and grandeur. Lucerne is town of 5000
inhabitants, with more hotels to its size
than any other place ever saw. The
stores are novel with their many trinkets
carved and cut in wood and stone. These
is sold mainly to tourists for souvenirs,
who throng the place from all parts of the
world. The architecture represents a
period of at least six centuries. This

have been in use since 1885, these letters
