OF the metal was tied to the coat sleeve

couple of hours a hole was burned
through his coat and a severe burn in

Scientists who have experimental
with 1t are beginning to doubt the
Veraclty Of accepted theories of light
and matter. Whether the wave theory
OF light will have to be abandoned for
the old corpuseular theory of matter
renounced remains to be seen.
For the value of the metal Sir Will
liam Crookes stands responsible. He
has been quoted as saying that a
pound of radium would cost $1,000, 900,
and that there is not altogether two
pounds of 1t in-texistence. So it may
be seen with what small quantities the
scientists are experimenting.
Few scientists in America have had
the opportunity of examining the met
al. The best product has come from
the French laboratories. That made
In Germany is not well refined. The
metal gives off it's rays with a varying
velocity that is sometimes as great as
100000 miles second, or about two
thirds the velocitysof light. Speaking
OF its tremendous velocity, Sir William
Crookes said that one gram of cleo
irons given off by radium is enough to
lift the whole British navy to the top
of Ben Nevis.
When Roentgen announced in 1895
his discovery of the X-rays other In
vestigators were quick to take up the
study of radiation and radio active
matter. AS is well known, a striking
feature of the X-ray is it's ability to
make various substances f1uoresce:
that is, to become self luminous while
exposed to the action Of the rays. This
was the starting point for the study of
radiant energy and radiant matter.
One of the most distinguished expert
mentors in the this field was Sir VIII
liam Crookes. He found that by pass

EXPERTS CANNOT
FIND IT'S SPECIES
Singular Animal Brought From the
East Indies Puzzles NaturaIists.

A very fine example of the binturong
(arctictis binturong) has just been re-
ce1Yed- at. the geological gardens and
placed in the small mammal house.
This curious animal is a native of the
East indies, ranging from Assam
southwark through Siam and the Ma
lay peninsula to Sumatra and Java
A large specimen will measure about
five feet in total length, Of which the
tail counts, for nearly q half. The long,
coarse hair is black but there is a
gray wash on the head and forelimbs
and there is a little white over the
eyes and on the throat; the ears are
short and carry long tufts of hair. It's
English book name, bear cat" is mod
eled on its generic appellation and re-
cords the difficulty early naturalists
experienced in ascertaining the ami
mails true place in their schemes Of
classification.
Although it was at one time placed
with the bears, it is now regarded as
closely allied to the palm civets. In
matters Of diet the binturong is not
hard to please. When opportunity
serves it will take small mammals,
birds, insects and worms. When these
cannot be secured it will support itself
on fruits, and in captivity it will take
fruit Of all kinds readily. The bintu-
rong is more active by night than in
among the branches of the trees Of the
forest regions in which it is found.
1t is remarkable as being the only true
mammal of the Eastern hemisphere
which has a prehensile tail 1t can
wind this organ around a branch and
thus the tail aids the animal in It's
arboreal life.
Blyth showed, many years ago, that
the young of this Species could hang
on to bough by the tip of the tail.
Whether the adults can suspend them
selves in this manner has been doubt
ed. There can, however, be no ques-
ton that the tail is of considerable
service to them, and that they use this
fifth hand as a holdfast. The exam
pie which has just arrived at the gar
dens is nearly adult, and, though some
what shy, is fairly tame, for, with
little coaxing, it will come to the front
of the cage to take fruit from visitors.
Like all new arrivals, however, it is
somewhat distrustful. If one advances
too near it darts forward with a spit
ting noise, like an angry cat while
the paw delivers a round handed blow,
like that Of bear-London Standard

ROADS TANGLING UP
OVER G. A. R. BUSINESS
San Francisco Encampment May Warp
Passenger Rates.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-The Grand
Army encampment at San Francisco
next summer is likely to be the cause
of a general mix-up in passenger rates
between Chicago and the coast. It
developed today that the Milwaukee
had agreed to transport committee
of the Grand Army en- route to San
Francisco free to its connecting line at
Omaha in special car and that the
Santa Fe will haul the car free on it's
return journey to Chicago.
OF course by SO doing they expected
to secure the bulk of the business when
the reunion takes place. This has
made competing roads jealous and
they threaten to smash the anti-pass
agreement.

ago to spend the winter with his son,
w. L. Cutting. His health not improv-
ing, he decided to go to hospital for
treatment. He had been in feeble
health for a number of years, but until
within a year had been able to do more
or less work. Mr.. Cutting had been

having held all the more important
offices; he also represented the town
at Montpelier in both house and sem
ate. Mr.. Cutting was a native of

QUESTIONABLE ECONOMY.
Some Kinds Are Too Expensive for
Poor People.

81 can't afford to be very economi-
cal" said the little woman, whimsical
Jy, the other day. Il have good neigh
Dor who believes that every penny
saved Is a penny earned, and she
looks her disapproval at me because
don't make over my own dresses and do
buy my cakes. She does all those things
herself and saves the money, and she
makes me feel wastefui. Last year l
tried to emulate her example, and l
used up at least fifty dollars worth of
wife. mother. and family comfort in
trying to save twelve dollars worth of
sewing. Besides, there's the dress
makers and cakemaker's view OF 1t to
be taken into account-for ! suppose
the 'neigh9or' side of the question
ought to come in somewhere.
1T reminds me of some of the cook
ing recipes which the newspapers
gravely publish. read one only yes
.erday. 1t was called nice way to use
ap bits of cold mutton, but required
fried cucumbers, thin pieces Of boiled
ham. several hard-boiled eggs, soup
stock, Worcestershire sauce, and so
many other things and so much time to
prepare the dish that it would make
very expensive mutton of it. The or
binary housekeeper couldn't afford to
save it at that price. There is a great
deal of So called economy that is too
costly for poor people. "-Forward
