Sensitive Electric AnaIysIs.

To produce a couple of pounds OF
radium takes no less than 5000 tons
of uranium residue, and the cost OF
handling each ton is 5000. To secure
the chemically pure radium is enor-
mously expensive, and it would be
be impossible to do this by chemical
analysis; therefore, the far more SEN
sitiye electrical method is employed.
and chemists say that they can detect
the presence of g. radioactive sub
stance by the means of such minute
quantity that it would require 5000
times this amount to show at all in
the spectroscope. And it is stated
that this method of electrical anal
ysis is thousands of times more SEN
sitive than spectrum analysis and mil
lions of times more sensitive than
chemical analysis.

shall be done, with the aid of the
locking device we have here present
ed, the inventors idea being that the
bottle shall be securely attached to
the door, in such manner that it
can be easily removed by the person
inside the house, but cannot be taken
by a passerby. The lock consists OF
two slotted plates for opposite faces
of the door with a spring hook be-
tween the plates, When the loop
formed at the end of the bale on the
bottle is inserted in the outer plate
The hook rises and then falls into the
opening, where it remains, securely
locking the bottle until the household
er lifts the hook from the inside, re-
moves the bale from the slotted plate
and carries the bottle of milk into
the house.
The inventor is John C. Belts, OF
this city.

Artificial Birds.

Birds are to be worn more than
ever in millinery, but the bird lovers
reed not despair, for these trimming
birds are made in Paris and never
sang a song. The stuffed birds, in
fact, are being eliminated from MILL
merry for what might be termed nat
ural causes. They have come to be
regarded as tasteless by French milf
ners, as they cannot be handled with
at all the same ease and effect as the
made bird can, The wings of the
tuffed bird are stiff, those of the,
made bird are pliabie and easily bent
to follow crown or bend around a
hat rim. The feathers of common
birds killed for food or because they
are nuisances are used to make these
birds.

Dock and Cotton Council Ignore the

New Orleans, La. Oct. 3.-The cot

serious than ever. In a final EFFORT to
reach some adjustment the stevedores
yesterday addressed communication

took no action, but completely ig-

Ing their communication. It was re-
ported in the council that dissention
exists among the stevedores and
agents, and that the Asiatic and Bal.

handle only screwed cotton and the
offer to stow IS to 80 bales is satisfac-

the little agents will break the COM

per cent of the cotton, and they will

Frenchman Discovers New Metal!
German papers report the discovery
by Edward Mollard, a Frenchman, OF
a new metal, called "selium." 1t is
stated that the discoverer claims that
selium costs about one-twelfth as
much as aluminium. and is lighter and
stronger. 1t does not rust, and is,
therefore, suitable for use in shipbuild-
ing, for the manufacture or pipes and
for railroad construction. On account
of its cheapness-and as It is capable
of fine polish, resembling nickel--it
would be desirable for the manufac-
ture of cooking utensils. It's hardness
is said to be almost equal to that or
iron, while it's power of resistance is
greater than iron, but less than that OF
steel. The melting point is 1900 de-
gree Centigrade, and while it con-
tracts somewhat in the molten state,
it is not impossible to use this Won
derful metal in molding. Our consul
general at Frankfort, Germany, says
in a report on the subject that IL
will be well to await more definite In
formation concerning its properties.
