POSSIBILITIES OF RADIUM.
Many Material Problems May BE
Solved Through the Newly
Discovered Substance

1t will be seen at once that the ma
terial possibilities of radium are
enormous. Among many suggestions
as to the outcome, are: the transmu-
tation of metals (the making of gold
no less); solving the problem Of light
without heat; the perfection of wire
less communication; the cure of GER
tain phases of blindness; new sources
of heat, and, since it would now seem
that there is, after all, but one sub
stance in the world (Which appears to
our untutored sense to assume various
forms merely because each form con-
tains a special number of particles to
the atom, chemistry may undergo
such rejuvenation as will result in
the most unheard-of discoveries, says
an article on "Radium and Human
Life" in Everybody's Magazine.
Already an hypothesis has been
worked out to the effect that the
emanations from radium and kindred
substances are on a par with the rays
which go to make up the aurora bor-
calls. 1t is, in fact, thought quite pos
sible that the aurora is merely cathode
or Roentgen rays on a gigantic scale,
and the phenomenon of Roentgen rays
is analogous to that OF radium rays.
Out of this has come the suggestion
that we may soon be able to predict
weather changes with greater accu-
racy than heretofore. The bearing Of
the discovery on astronomical specu-
lation. also. is important.

CIDER VINEGAR.
TMc Only Kind That Is Pure and ABB
SOIuteIy Safe for House,
hold Use.

Old-fashioned cider vinegar that used
10 be made from hard cider. A long row
of cider barrels, in well-ventilated cell
lar.
First, the cider is sweet very palatable
and much used as beverage by farmers,
and is even sold in some saloons.
Afterwards, the cider becomes hard.
In olden times it was still used as bev-
erage by the New Highlander, who was
perfectly innocent of any suspicion that
it was "a intoxicating beverage. The
next change which happened to the cider
was when it turned into vinegar This
was the sort of vingar our forefathers
used. This is the only vinegar that is
absolutely safe to use, says Medical Talk
for the Home.
The present method of making spirit
vinegar has great many liabilities. A
low proof solution of alcohol is passed
over beech shavings or birch twigs that
have been soaked in the mother of vim
egar or vinegar essence. This ve4y
quickly converts the alcohol into vine
gar. Sometimes sulphuric acid is add
ed. and even hydrochloric acid.
The addition of any acid renders the
vinegar very liable to dissolve any metal
with which it comes in contact, copper.
tin, brass, bismuth, mercury or zinc.
Vinegar that contains the slightest trace
of any one Of these minerals is apt to
be the cause of slow poison, sometimes
fatal poison.
The only safe vinegar to use is the
old-fashioned vinegar. In order to be
quite sure that it is genuine it should
be procured, if possible, direct from the
farmer who makes the cider and allows
1t to sour. During the past temperance
crusades great encouragement was
raised against the manufacture of cider
by farmers Cider was under the ban of
the temperance classes because of it's
supposed damage to the good morals
of the people. This has resulted in a
great falling off in the product of vine-
gar by the farmers, and has encouraged
the manufacture of cheap and artificial
vinegars, which are very deleterious,
and sometimes absolutely poisonous.

jersey Mosquitoes Are Growing Fat
ON the Liquid That Was to
Exterminate Them.

People living on the meadow of Jer-
sey and Long Island have been maryeling
this year over the tremendous size and
the sickness and we'll fed appearance
of the mosquitoes. The secret may now
be said to be out. It's the oil. The mos
quitoes have grown to like the old. They
are waxing sinewy, sleek and songful
on the oil that the scientists have, at
great expense, been flooding the mos
quito infested ponds with since the be-
ginning of spring.
Mr.. William G. Whitney has spent
something like $4,000 in oiling up the
ponds down his way on Long island,
with the result that the Westbury mos
ouitoes this year look like humming
birds, and are as sanguinary and coL-
fident as bolo hurting Moros. Old time
residents down on the mosquito breed
ing Jersey marsh lands and rivers de-
clare that the mosquitoes are such an
adaptable lot that they've already dis
covered method of distilling the poi
sonous elements from the oil and reject
ing them, leaving only the wholesome,
fattening elements wherewith to regale
themselves and take on flesh. They go
farther than this, these mosquito wise
Jerseyites, and declare that some of the
oil fed mosquitoes pump the poisonous
ingredients that they have collected
from the oil. in addition to their own in
lection venom, into the persons of their
human victims. All of which is more or
less cheerful.
Literally hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been wasted in New Jersey
and on Long island in these efforts to
.'exterminate'' the mosquitoes by the
use of petroleum. The huge, oil fed mos
Quitoes are even invading Manhattan
island this year as they never did before
1t requires only a good. stiff breeze from
the Jersey side, to watt billions of them

pie living within half mile Of the Hud-
son water front IN New York, especially
up Riverside driveway, where the North
river is comparatively narrow, are in

RED LIGHT IN SMALLPOX.
Reported to BE Helpful in Prevent.
ing Designation and Death
from Suppuration

Finsen states that it may be consid-
cred an irrefutable fact that DAYLIGHT.
and especially the chemical rays. has a
most injurious effect on the course of
smallpox, as the suppuration of the ves-
icles is due to the effect of light, saws
the New York Medical Journal Conse-
quently, it is possible to avoid the sup
puration and its consequences by pro-
tecting the patients from the action of
light. On the other hand, light seems to
have no action on the smallpox infection
itself, and death caused by the latter can
not be prevented by excluding the chem
ical rays; but the avoidance of suppura-
ton is of the greatest Importance as
the suppuration stage is most danger
Gus, and the greatest number of deaths
are due to suppuration.
Further, the numerous complications
and sequelae due to suppuration may be
avoided, as we'll as the disfguring pit
ting. Since smallpox is a disease in
which the public health authorities
oblige the patient to go into particular
hospital, he has a right to ask that he
shall not there be unnecessarily exposed
to dangers that may be fatal, or are at
least liable to disfgure him for life. 1t
must be considered absolutely unwar-
rantable on the part of the public health
authorities to treat serious cases of
smallpox in which suppuration might be
expected, in hospitals where patients
are exposed to daylight. AS to the pri-
vate physician, it must be considered
a gross shorteoming if, as soon as he
demonstrates smallpox, he does not
make preparations to prevent the pa
tient from being exposed to daylight.
1t is everywhere possible TO darken the
windows by curtains, and candle will
supply all the necessary light.

This remains true today of most pro-
