More About Radiu,n,

Radium does not get its energy from
air. as some scientists seem to suppose.
but very probably from changes within
the atoms of which 1t is composed. 1t
is believed that these atoms are the
heaviest in the universe. 1t is possible
that. after hundreds of thousands of
years, radium may devolve into simpler
elements, and so pass right through the
series to hydrogen. Scientists do not
now believe that the elements" are
really elemental. There is really only
one element. But radium is it's most
remarkable form. Great curiosity is
being manifested in the specimens now
being publicly exhibited at the London
Natural History Museum-three tiny
grains in q watch glass, shining as
they have done since before man ap-
peared on the earth. The camera e.
hibit seems to give the most satisfac-
ton. In it some sulphide of zinc has
been painted with radium, and in the
dark it CLOVIS with a soft green light.
This part of the exhibit will not require
renewal for 10000 years. Other inter
esting metals in the exhibit are thorium
and helium. Thorium is the main in
gredient of the incandescent mantle,
Helium is so light that the earth's revo-
luton has whisked nearly all of 1t Oh
into space. What remains is probably
new formed by the breaking down OF
the atoms of radium-if the word atom
can be applied to what has at leas1
10000 parts.-Harper's Weekly.

PoPE's NAME AND TITLE.
Two Hundred and Sixty-fourth Success
to the Throne of Peter.

Two Hundred and Sixty-fourth Successor
to the Throne Of Peter.
The new Pope's name is Giuseppe
Sarto. AS Cardinal Sarto he was Pa
triarch of Venice, titular of the Church
of San Bernardo allie Terme, in Rome.
He now becomes Plus X, two hundred
and sixty-fourth successorof the Prince
of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the
Universal Church, Patriarch of the
Orient, Primate of Italy, Metropolitan
of the Roman Province and Bishop
of Rome.
Plus x. was born in the village OF
Riese, in the Diocese of Treviso. and
the Province Of Venice, June 2. 1885.
He was educated in the Salesian Sem
mary ut Cottolengo, where he made an
excellent record in his studies. and at
tracted attention by his marked seri-
BUSINESS. Most of his subsequent life
as parish priest, and afterward as
bishop, he a spent within the Prov
1nce of Venice. The singular success
OF his work as a parish priest early
brought him under the notice of supe-
rlors, though he was less known in
Rome, as he kept aloof from the Curia
and seldom left his work on the Vene-
tian mainland. He was made Patri-
arch of Venice and at the same time
created Cardinal, June II, 1893. In
this position he has shown great en-
ergy and ability as an administrator.
and has also become known as a sound
authority on divinity. Personally he is
a man of medium-fgure and a fresh,
almost youthful face, which contrasts
s~ingularly with his silvery white hair,
the invariably 'tousled'' appearance of
which adds to his appearance some
thing almost boyish. He has led in
Venice a life of utmost simplicity. but
at the great ceremonials of the church
he presides with impressive dignity.

The Life of a Seed.

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture is making experiments for
the purpose OF determining the extreme
vitality of seeds. Over a hundred
species of plants have been packed
in a soil consisting of dry clay en-
closed in pots, and buried at varying
depths underground-eight sets at a
depth of six inches. twelve at a depth
of twenty, and a third set of twelve
at a depth of three and a half feet. At
the end of one, two, three, five, seven,
ten, fifteen, twenty, Twenty-Five, thirty,
forty and fifty years, a set from each
depth will be exhumed and tested.
The results of the experiment are likely
to be of extraordinary value to agri-
culturists, both commercially and
scientifically. incidentally, it may be
recalled that authentic cases are on
record which prove that certain seeds
have the power of s~prouting after hav-
ing been buried for long periods of
time. reliable tests having shown that
twelve u Of t~wenty-one species have
the power of terminating after twenty

A CASE AGAINST LITTAUER
Secretary Root Refers IT to Attorney
General Knox.
A Demand May Be Made For . Return Of
a or All the Money Paid
ON Contract.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Root
made public all the papers relating
to the investigation into the Govern
ment contract for gloves with e. r.
Lyon. This contractor obtained the
gloves from Littauer Brothers, the
senior member of the firm, Lucius N.
Littauer, being a member of Congress.
Secretary Root has referred the cast
TO the department Of Justice in order
that 1t may be ascertained if the law
has been violated, and, if so, that ap.
propriate measures may be taken in
the premises.
General Davis recommends that the
Testimony of two witnesses who could
not be found by Inspector CARING
ton is rather important, and that the
investigation be continued with a
view Of getting their testimony.
When taken he says it can be referred
to the Department Of Justice with the
other papers In the case.
Secretary Root in an Endorsement on
the opinion of Judge Advocate-Gen.
eral, which sends the case to the De-
partment Of Justice, says:
There appears to be no evidence
that In the manufacture of gloves by
the Messrs. Littauer Brothers. to be
used in filling Government contracts
made by Lyon and others, there was
any violation Of the statute except in
one case, the contract of December
q, 1898.
II think the indications Of an inter.
est by the manufacturing firm in the
jobbers' contract with the Government
are sufficient to require me to proceed
upon the theory that there is a prima
facie case Of violation of the statute.
Three duties are therefore de-
volved upon the War Department:
First, to put the Department Of Jus.
tice in possession of the facts, in OF.
der that If that department finds the
law to have been violated it may take
appropriate measures for its enforce
ment.
Second, to direct the proper officer
of the department to demand repay
ment Of any sum Of money which
has been advanced OH the part of the
United States in consideration of such
contract
Third, to determine whether any
officer who was concerned in the max.
ing of the contract was culpable with
in the true intent Of the law" He
adds: mo influences and no motives
except a desire to attain the best in.
terests Of the Government appear to
have operated upon the officers of the
army in the transactions"

SCORES FELL MO WATER
Bridge Collapsed, Drowning Thrss
Persons, at Portland, Ore.

Many Seriously Injured.

Portland, Ore. = A section Of the
bridge over the Willamette River at
Morrison street collapsed and more
than 100 persons fell forty feet into the
water. Three are known to have been
drowned, and it is feared the list OF
dead will be larger. Many fell on boat
houses under the bridge. About twen-
ty-fve were injured by falling timbers.
Many fell from the roofs of the boat
houses into the water, but men in doz-
ems Of small boats and launches quick
~ picked them up.
The known dead are: Minnie Ray
mond, ten years old; Lottie Cameron,
sixteen years old; unidentified boy,
fifteen years old.
Thousands had gathered on the Nor
risOn and Madison street bridges and
along the docks to watch an armless
man swim the river. A section Of the
passenger walk gave way under the
heavy weight and the struggling mass
Of men, women and children was car
ried down a distance of forty feet.
Some fell on the two boat houses,
while others dropped into the river,
which is about fifteen feet deep.
Many fell between the boat houses,
forming a pile ten feet high Of strug-
Cling men, women and children. Hun
dreds of people in the clubhouse Of the
Portland Rowing Club, men in boats
and on shore aided in the work of res
cue.
Every ambulance in the city, several
fire companies and a large force of po-
lice arrived within a few minutes, and
victims with broken arms and legs
were hurried to the hospitals. News OF
the accident spread. and within a few
minutes thousands of persons gathered
at both ends Of the bridge seeking in
formation about relatives or friends.
The bridge was closed and all street
cars stopped. The bridge is an old
wooden structure, having been built
sixteen years ago, and has been consid-
cred unsafe for some time, although 1t
was not condemned.

Were Trying to Get Up Agitation Against
the Government.
Havana, Cuba.-The efforts of a quar-
tet Of wild characters to cause an up
rising in the vicinity Of Bayamo, Prov
ince of Santiago, have ended in the cap
ture of their leader and the killing Of
the other three men. For weeks the
four men had been attracting consider
able attention in that vicinity, endeav-
oring to excite the people to treason
and violence on the ground that the
revolutionary forces had not been, and
were not likely to be, paid. A few
days ago the party was overtaken by
a detachment Of the rural guard, and
the leader and the horses of the agi-
tationists were captured, after some
shooting on both sides. The other three
men were pursued until they were all
killed. Several shots were fired at the
guard, but not one of them was hit.
This effectually ends the only SEM
blance Of an uprising in Cuba.
