GREAT POWER or RADqu,r.
Wonderful New Substitute Ma,
 Solve Celestial Mystery.


 London Correspondence N. Y. Herald
 One of the most interesting lectures Delivered at the meeting of the British Association. now being held at Southport, was by MT. Vernon Boys, President of the mathematics and physics section. reIa- tive to radium. MT. Boys suggested a connection between radio activity. as now observed. and the stock marvel of the comet and its tail
 What is a comet and of what does its tail consist? asked Mir. Boys. It was im- possible not to be struck by the similar ity of the language used in describing comets and that used in any paper writ ten on radium. He knew that mere su- perficial similarity was worth very lit- tie. if anything, but for centuries the sky had shown us phenomena still not en- tirely understood, and inability to remove all difficulty by the aid of radiun or sim liar material was no reason for dismiss Ing the idea of any connection with fur ther thought.
 MT. Boys thought that the term ''mys- tery of radium" was inadequate. Miracle of radium" was the only expression that could be employed. "The discovery" he said. 'of what seems to be an everlast- Ing quantity by Q minute amount of ra- dium compound is so amazing that, eveh now that many of us have had the oppor- tunity of seeing with our own eyes a heated thermometer we hardly are able to believe what we see. This, which can barely be distinguished from the discov- cry of perpetual motion which 1t is an axiom of science to cafl impossible has left every chemist and physician in state of bewilderment.
 Radium in some respects. he said, be- haved in @ manner contrary to that of all proper chemical thorium or uranium which acted in the same kind of way as did radiuf1, but with far less vigor, and would last a million years before there was nothing left, or at least before they were worn out, while radium, preferring a short life and a merry one, could not expect to exist for more than few thousand years. In that time one gram of radium would evolve one thousand million heat units, sufficient, if converted into work, to raise 500 tons a mile high, whereas, a gram of hydrogen, our best fuel, burned in oxygen only 34.0O0 heat units, or one thirty thousandth part of the output of radium.

REVOKED COMMISSIONS.
Governor Abolishes Justices of Peace
 According to Law.

GOV0EAOE ADO11SneS JuSL1CGB or Peace
 According to Law.
 Governor Jelks yesterday revoked the commissions of J. H. Ward and Lee w. Jones notaries of public and ex-oficio justices of the peace in Precinct 37 Jeff ferson county and Ward 1 Birmingham.
 This unusual action was taken not be- cause of any charges pending against the former officials but because of instruc- tons given the Governor by the Legisla- ture.
 For these precincts the Legislature passed a. law creating inferior courts which should have the powers of courts of the justices of the peace. Having created these courts by law the Legisla- tlIre passed a resolution requesting the Governor to revoke the commissions of the notaries public and ex-oficio justices of the courts in the precincts over which the new judges of the inferior courts were to preside.
 The Governor appointed some time ago Messrs. Abernathy and Benners judges of the Inferior courts and they have as- sumed the duties of their offices.

From Thursdays Daily.
A large and enthusiastic audience
attended the Baptist Association
meeting last night.
There was some disappointment
that DR.. Purinton was not present
to deliver the discourse assigned to
him. In place of this part of the
program, very interesting subject
to all, Home Missions and Womans'
Home Missions" was ably discussed
by Rev. S. L. Morgan of Palatine.
The address to the Young Peoples
Union was made by Mrs. Crumley,
the wife OF the Baptist minister al
Grafton. She made a very interest
ing and helpful talk.
Rev. c. r. Cruikshank, of Glades-
vile conducted the devotional exer-
cises this morning.
The Subject of "Foreign Missions
and Womans' Foreign Missions"
was intelligently discussed in a
paper by Miss Mabel Reynolds. Her
style of presenting the subject made
it very attractive to her hearers and
aroused increased interest in the
subject of foreign missions. A dis
cussion followed the paper.

Reports of committees on obituary,

scheduled for 2:30 clock. The
Association adjourned this morning,
however, and no afternoon session
was held.
A report of the accessions and
losses in the various churches rep
resented in this Association was
made by the secretary, Mr.. Harry
F. ST. Clair from the reports of the
various ministers put into his hands.
This report shows that there have
been q accessions by baptism to the
Morgantown church, and % by
letter. The total membership is
now more than 300. The two ap-
pointmeuts of Rev. Cruikshank' 8,

Big MONEY LOSS
Closing of Glass Factories
Cuts off Big Circulation.

The Strike Situation Unchanged =
Fred Bishop in Charxe-Twe Shops
Going at seneca None at Tumbler
Plant slim Chances Of Gett'ng
Together.
From Wednesdays Daily.
There is no change in the strike
situation today al the plant of the
Economy rumbler company and of
the Seneca Glass company. The
strike has already settled down to a
long stubborn struggle, in which
neither side proposes to give or take
an inch.
The Economy Company has a pay
roll OF $4,000 a month and the Sen
eca about $4,000. In addition to
this the two factories pay Get about
81 200 for gas and water. This means
direct loss OF $500 to the
amount of money circulated in town
each month
The output of the two factories is
estimated as worth about $250.000 a
year. This amount Of money Gomez
in to the town every year when the
factory is running. Some idea Of
the serious nature and heavy loss
eniailed by the strike. small though
it be can be gained from these figures.
One of the directors of the company
said this morning; I've been in the
glass business three vears, and have
never made cent on $4,000. in
vestment, all because of labor trou-
bles. I'm done with it, and will
never fool with the glass business
again"
Secretary Dobbins, Of the A. +. G.
W. U. has been here. He is from
Pittsburg. He had a conference
with Mr.. Boehler, of the Seneca, and
tried to obtain one with the manager
of the Economy Tumbler company,
Mr.. Frey, but he was out of town.
Mr.. Dobbins went back to Pittsburg
and left the strike in charge of Fred
Bishop, until national officer can
get to stay here permanently.
-Four directors are running two
shops at the Seneca. Two or three
men went to work there, but the
strikers talked to them and persuad-
ed then to quit. There is nothing
whatever being done at the Economy
Tumbler Company's plant.
Some OF the strikers have left for
Moundsvile. Huntington and other
points. The others, who want to
work at all, are working at other
jobs.
There seems to be no chance what
ever OF any settlement. The com
panies are firm in their intention of
running sopen house. and the union
men will not work under the circum-
stances. That is the situation, aud
the factori will be tied up until
non union men can be procured to
handle the tools.
