RADIuM AIDS THE BLIND.
Russian Scientist Shows Effects of a
Wonderful Discovery.

A celebrated st. Petersburg scientist,
Prof. F. s. London, who is the highest
authority on the new radium rays,
which are pronounced the greatest dis
coyery of modern times because they
may make the blind regain sight, has
published an article on this subject in
which he says: 1n
'Radium has all the charm of the
unexpected in science, which had no
premonition of its existence in nature.
Radium- had never been foreSeen or
foretold. When it appeared it seemed
to protest against some scientific prin-
eiples, such as the theory of indivisi.
bility of atoms, etc. And the pfysio-
logical and pathological qualities OF
radium when they were discovered
were quite as great surprise again.
The effect of radium rays on living
organism is shown in two ways: In
one case the effect of the rays is felt i'm
mediately; in the other 1t is felt after
being latent for longer or a shorIr
period. The first case refers to the
eyes, the second to all the other Or
gans.
"These theories have been practically
applied already. The blind can be
taught to write, read and draw. boy
of eleven who lost his eyesight when he
was twelve months old, but who re-
talHeu StlSHt perception Oh Inc .uAiIer-
ence of light and darkness. learned the
letters of the alphabet first and then
learned to read. LIS
There is no living tissue in the
world on which fadium rays have no
effect. Experiments have been made
with the seed of plants, bacteria ovus
cells, frogs. worms, -gninea pigs, rab-
bits and human beings. Radium rays
were noticed to do aHSthese different
organisms harm.
"The germs of plants and animals
exposed to radium rays lose the power
of growing. The skin Of animals and
human beings exposed1to radium will
show no effect at first, but after a
time a swelling sets in which becomes
an open wound that refuses to heal.
White mice placed hi IA box-with RAJ
dunn siekened after few days and
died Of congestion ofIthe lungs.
Lupus and other skin diseases have
been treated with radiuIn rays and en-
couraging results have been obtained.
There is no knowing what the fu-
ture has in store for humanity after
the discovery of radium. Vienna

Russian Wheat.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. ia state
ment has been issued showing the official
crop prospects for European Russia up to
a fortnight ago. Winter wheat is pro-
nounced good in the Southwest, compris-
ing nearly all the country up to the
Dnieper, strip from the head waters
of this river to the German frontier a
small part of the central black earth belt
and considerable stretches south of the
Don and the Kouma, respectively. 1t is
declared satisfactory in all the other
wheat districts except comparatively
small districts around Kharkouv. Mimi
Novgorod and On the right bank of the
DVina.
Spring grain is bad or unsatisfactory
in about one-third of the grain country,
the failure extending. with extensive ex-
ceptions, however. from the junction Of
the Don and Velga valleys to the extreme
north and northeast. There is also an
almost total failure along the right bank
of the Dvina. To offset this. however. ex-
cellent crops are expected from Kovno to
Ekaterinoslav and south of the line be-
tween these cities and throughout the
northern Caucasus from Rostov to Vladi-
kavkaSe.

MINI EAPOLlS.

Minneapolis bulls in wheat stood
up against hard proposition. The bear
crowd who sold short when September
struck S6Ac on Saturday, found every
thing in their favor, and the opportunity
ripe for drive to begin the new week.
On the curb there was a renewal of the
short selling pressure. the letting go of a
good many long lines in a scramble to save
profits and a flood of wheat came on sale.
Some new orders to buy were in, and
they amounted to a considerable total, but
against the selling pressure they We're of
little avail and the first trade in Septem-
Der when the market opened was at 49, &C,
drop Of Csc from the Saturday high
point. Cables were easy and Liverpool
lower, this not in response to any show
of weakness here. but because of heavier
worlds shipments and an increase of
1.S96.OO0 bu in the quantity on passage
for Europe, which makes the total now
very favorable all over the West and
this was the most effective bear factor of
all. Cash wheat was off, and old No. l
northern of the quality that brought 81
&c.
The bears who have all along commended
that September was too high will have an
opportunity to make good their claim If
the present weather holds for time, and
the indication now is for fair weather to-
day anyway. That there is plenty of
wheat to come. and that It will come in
quantity later. has been the bear argu-
ment. On this more than anything else
is the market likely to turn Should the
movement increase heavily September is
pretty sure to sag. but it will have to in
crease materially over the present volume
to have this effect. Receipts. 166 cars.
The market held firm around S3A C.
or &c under the opening. Trade was
quiet and the close very quiet. In the
cash market demand was less acute and
prices were off from the beginning and
continued easy during the entire session

WHEAT CLOSES
UNDER A DOLLAR
In Spite of Bulls Efforts It
Goes a Cent Under Sat-
urday.

In spite of the sustained bullish dispo-
sitien among some interests, the grain
market of yesterday showed some fall
ing off from the prices Of Saturday, this
being due to news from abroad and re-
ports of fine weather throughout the
Northwest. Wheat opened lower, and
after a period of some firmness closed
lower than Saturday. Corn opened low
er, declined slightly and closed 1A@%c
below the figures of Saturday. Oats
also fell off somewhat because of gen
eral disposition to sell, although there
was no news of any particular Importance
one way or the other. T..
S. B. ShotweH & Co.'s grain letter was
as follows:
Wheat-The local receipts were about as
expected. Liverpool was unexpectedly
heavy, mainly on account of the large
worlds shipments. The weather map
was a splendid one. The market natural
" opened lower on the heavy cables and
the fine weather, Minneapolis leading in
the decline. The market was steady at
the decline, with holders of puts the best
buyers. Later the scalping crowd was
all bullish and were inclined to support
the market on all setbacks. Armour was
the best seller of September early in the
session, and Northwestern houses sold
considerable May and December About
noon the market turned weak, with gen.
eral scattered liquidation. Shorts were
the best buyers on the decline. The close
was 11s @13sc under Saturdays.
Corn-This market also opened heavy
on the fine weather and worked slightly
lower on the increased country offerings
People who trade for both st. Louis and
Ratten We're heavy sellers and the offer
ings were not well taken. Local shorts
We're the best buyers early. Cash hand
ling houses tell us country offerings of
corn are increasing from almost all di-
elections. The close was k@5sc under
Saturday.
Oats-Oats suffered somewhat in price
under influence of continued free liquida-
ton on the part of scattered holders.
There was no news Of Importance. The
close was 1a@5sc under Saturday.
