SNOW IN THE FAR WEST.

CHICAGO. Sept l2.-Reports from Mani
toba. Montana and North Dakota say
that a snowstorm is raging over a wide
area. In southern Montana and the yell
lowstone Park the snow Is eight inches
deep. The reports say the farmers fear
the worst, as thousands Of acres Of grain
are yet uncut and only little Of that already
out has been stacked or tn eshed.
The snow was preceded by heavy rain
1t is predicted that this storm will reach the
corn belt before Sunday night. A rainfall
of five inches is reported at st, Paul, Mimi
The temperature has fallen decidedly in the
extreme western part Of the district and
it is considerably warmer over the central

FEW JEWS IN RUSSIAN SCHOOLS.
The Limit alton Is One Of the burdens
Resting on the Race There.


LONDON, Sept. IA despatch from
Moscow points out that one of the reglla-
tions which is pressing heaviest on the bet
ter class OF Jews in Russia is that which
limits the number Of Jews who may be
admitted to the rights of higher education.
1t is common to find Jews endeavoring
to pass examinations for the universities
and other schools which have rights equiva-
lent to those Of the universities merely
in order to secure the privilege Of residing
in any part Of the Empire, which is ac-
corded to those who have passed.
The difficulty OF getting into the higher
schools is enormous for any one Of Jewish
birth. Only certain percentage is ac-
copied into the secondary educational
establishments, from which alone entrance
to the higher schools is gained. In the
latter the percentage again bars the way
Only g. and in some cases S. per cent of the
total number Of students may be Jews.
An example is given of one establish
ment which at the beginning Of the present
academic year had $50 vacancies Seven
hundred applicat ions were made by young
men who were qualified to enter. OF these
275 were Jews, but the maximum number
of Jews it was possible to admit was Is.

SECRET or RADIUM HEAT.
Lord Kelvin Suggests 1t May he Supplied
by Ethereal Waves.

spscla Cab. Dispatch 70 THE sun.
LONDON, Sept. 12-What Prof. c. V, Boys
termed "the miracle of,radium" has natur-
ally received much attention in scientific
circles. At the meeting of the science
branch of the British Association Lord
Kelvin, in paper which he read. made an
interesting suggestion in connection with
it's perpetual emission OF heat at, according
to NJ. Curie's calculation, a rate of about 90
centigrade oalorics per gramme per hour.
He said that if the emission Of heat at this
rate went on for 10000 hours there would
be as much heat az would raise the tenn
perature of 100000 grammes of water
degree centigrade. 1t seemed utterly i'm
possible to Lord Kelvin that this would
come from the store Of energy lost out of
gramme of radium in 10000 hours.
1t seemed. therefore. absolutely certain
that the energy must somehow be supplied
from without. He suggested that ethereal
waves might in some way supply energy to
radium while it was emitting heat to matter
around it,
Lord Kelvin illustrated his theory by
the following comparison; Suppose piece
Of white and a piece Of black CLOTH her
metically sealed in similar glass cases,
were submerged in similar glass vessels of
water and exposed to the sun. The water
in the vessel containing the black cloth
would be kept very sensibly warmer than
that containing the white cloth
Here the thermal energy was commune
Gated to the black cloth by waves Of sun
light and was given out as thermometric
heat to the water in the glass around it.
Thus through the water there was actually
an energy travelling inward in virtue of the
waves of light and outward through the
same space in virtue Of thermal conduction.
Lord Kelvin suggested that experiments
be made comparing the heat emission from
radium wholly surrounded with thick
lead with that found in the surroundings

Special Cable Despatch to The SUN.
LONDON, Sept. l2.-Seldom in recent
years has British Cabinet met under
such circumstances as will the Ministry
that meets on Monday next. 1t is possible
that more than one meeting will be neces-
sary before the Ministers can come out
into the open and declare what positions
they have taken on the tarin question,
but, inasmuch as Prime Minister Balfour
will open the great fight Of Sheffield Oh
Oct and will be quickly followed by VI.
Chamberlain at Glasgow on Oct Q. such
further meetings can only be regarded
as a continuation of the session Of next
Monday
From that meeting Of men who for years
have sat on common bench and defended
a common policy what will come forth?
1t is reasonable TO suppose that these men
will be divided into at least two parties,
who in fortnight will be contending against
one another, with the British electorate
as judge and jury.
II this be so-and the possibility OF a
compromise which could keep Mr. Cham
berlain and his free-trade colleagues in the
same Ministry seems overwhelmingly 3
meeting Of the Cabinet will be Of historic
significance.
It will witness the practical demember-
ment of the great Conservative party and
will prove to he the starting point Of new
party distribution.
October and November will be months OF
speeches. Between Oct. and Nov. 20
Mr.. Chamberlain will address eight meet
ings on the hustings at great political
centres such as Glasgow, Greenock. Leeds
Newcastle. Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff
and TynemouQ.
Up to the present time Mr.. Balfour has
only been booked to speak at Sheffield on
Oct. /. Mr.. Asquith will speak a. a pro-
tagonist of Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain. He will make the first address on
Dot. 8. and will hold six other great meet
ings between then and Nov. "a. This will
be followed by series Of addresses In the
southwest Of England
During the period from Oct to Nov. "a
the Rt. Hon. Sir Henry Fowler will make
one speech, Lord Rosebery one, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach one. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman three, the Ri. Hon. John Nor
ley three, Sir Edward Gray three, Lord
Hugh Cecil. Winston Churchill and Viscount
Goschen one each.
All will address great organized meet
ings. and in January, 1904, Mr.. Chamberlain
will make great speech in the city Of
London. No doubt many other important
meetings will be arranged throughout the
country for the rest OF November and
December when there ia time to do 30.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE sun
LONDON. Sept. l2.-The great structural
operations around London which are now
In progress for the installation Of electricity
on the Metropolitan railway systems have
been the occasion Of more than one collision
between the American system Of manage
ment and the tactics of the English labor
unions
These works are being built by the West
inghouse company, which employed British
workmen under the direction of managers
who were trained in the United States
The union leaders induced 800 bricklayers
to leave work at Neasden. where the cleo
trio power station is being built, for reasons
similar to those which oocasioned the pre-
vious troubles.
The union rate Of pay for bricklayers is
81 cents an hour, with a working day OF
nine hours. The manager at Neasden
paid the bricklayers 20 cents an hour. but
he stipulated that the men should start
work Immediately when the whistle blew
The representative of the union insisted
that the men must remain at the bottom
Of the ladder until the whistle blew, and
that when it had finished blowing they
should ascend the ladder to where the work
was to be done.
1t was a matter Of three minutes, but as
the first rule Of the present managers is
to get the work done promptly. they refused
to change the rule.
The unions representative, however, in
sisted on the old way, and next week the
men will return to work under the old con-
ditions, getting a cent less an hour and
killing time at the bottom OF the ladder until
the signal Is sounded.
The majority Of the bricklayers who i'm
posed their decision on heir harder working
neighbors are still incensed at the system
of bonuses given to men doing especially
good work. This bonus il ticket allowing
an extra hours pay for the man who does
not dawdle. He may get many Of these in
one week
The difference between what is considered
days work Of the same number OF hours
under the different systems of management
is extraordinary. The bricklayers employed
on the public works of the London County
Council consider 400 bricks good days
work. &c. Stewart, who directs the great
building enterprises Of tho Westinghouse
company in Manchester and London, holds
that the average ought to be 900 or 500
bricks. He started his men at 500 day
and gradually raised them, sometimes
TO 1000. by providing every mechanical
facility to expedite the work.
