RADIUM AND CARCINOMA.
Less Than n TeaspOonful of the Pure
Element Found by
Chemists.

The close interrelations between the
sciences and the immediate practical re-
suits from a seemingly Insignificant and
remote discovery have often been illus
trated in modern times, but never SO
dramatically as in the case of radium
says American Medicine. 1t is said that
the entire amount of the pure element
that has been extracted by chemists is
less than a teaspoonful. But in year
a study OF the minute properties of these
few grains has apparently revolutionized
physics and chemistry, almost if not abb
solutely abolished, at least theoretically,
the atomic theory of matter which with
gravitation seemed the most certain of
truths. Where 1t will end no one can
ioresee. One wonders If the greatest
mystery of physics, gravitation, is soon
to be explained. Immediately that
radium is studied, a medical use is found.
From Vienna comes the report that in
the clinic Of Prof. Gussenbauer there has
been one cure of chronic carcinoma. The
patient, who was 81 years old, says the
cabled newspaper report, had long suf-
fered from cancer of the palate and lip,
and had repeatedly been operated upon
fruitlessly, until the autumn of 1902,
when the physicians of the Viennese hos
pital declared it was absolutely useless
to operate again. One physician deter
mined, as last resort, to try radium
rays, and treated the afflicted parts by
exposing them to the light Of radium
bromid, the strongest radium prepara-
ton in existence. He was rewarded by
a gradual and complete disappearance Of
the tumors. Physicians at the same
meeting reported that radium rays had
cured case of melanosarcoma and sew
eral cases of red mole.

cHlcAao's NEW POST oFr-sE BUILDING AS
IT APPEARS TO-DAY.
1895. Possession given to wrecker OF
the old building, April. 1896. Substruc-
ture begun July, 1897. Substructure
completed August, 1898. Contract for
superstructure awarded to John Peirce,
April Z, 1885, Possession of premises
given contractor, September, 1s98
Work begun spring Of 1899. Twenty
five per cent. of building finished March
10, 1901. Date Of completion at rate
OF progress, 1907. Date of completion
required by contract, January, 1902
Contract price of superstructure, ST.
$1,000. Allowed by congress for in
terror finish, $1,2OO,000.
Our illustration shows exactly the
progress which has been made on the
building to the present day. The ex-
terror is practically finished, the only
work remaining to be done is sone
carving on certain portions of the
stone work. But the structure is moth
Ing but great, gaunt, bare shell of
stone and brick and iron The in
terror finishing has hardly begun. Pre-
liminary work on the building was be-
gun in March, 1895, when the secretary
Of the treasury engaged experts to pre-
pare plans and specifications Con-
gress voted 100000 for this purpose.
The cost of the building up to the pres
ent has been $2,346, ,7O2, for foundation
and exterior construction
The interior is to be finished in ma
hogany and marble of the finest kind.
Late last year it was discovered that of
the 100000 which it was proposed
to spend on the structure, but $1,653,-
298 remained for the interior finish and
decoration and heating and lighting
apparatus. and elevators. etc. This
was not sufficient, and it was proposed
by the architect to finish in cheap
wood as a substitute for tho mahog-
any and plaster for the marble But
about this time the congressman from
Chicago got busy, and congress was in
duced to vote an additional $75O,0O0 to
finish the building as the original spec
ifcations called for. That it will
be beautiful structure when finished
there is no shadow of doubt. But there
is hope that the present generation will
live to see it completed is evident from
the present shake-up and activity.
1t is interesting to note in connec-
ton with the building of the Chicago
post Office the construction Of some
other great buildings in Chicago.
While the foundations of the post Of
ice were being dug the Fisher building
shct up 16 stories. In the time con-
sumed in covering the steel work the
Marshall Field building, a magnificent
structure of steel and marble and the
finest interior finish. was rushed ia
completion, and since the construction
OF the post Office building was begun
nearly every year has been marked by
the erection of some sky scraper. But
II the post Office is growing slowly 70
completion. it is growing magnifcently,
and will be one If the finest structures
In the country vhen completed.

Thousands fear lightning to such an
alarming extent that during a thunder

character is caused by nervousness
brought on chiefly by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.

A short time ago the railroad COM
missioncrs decided that the Grand
Trunk Railway and the city of Au-
burn Jointly should build a highway
crossing at Danville Junction. The
railway company yesterday filed an
appeal from the decision of the COM
missioners and will go to the Supreme
court for Il hearing. The company OBJ
iects to the decision on the ground that
the railroad commissioners had no
jurisdiction in the premises. the high
way over the tracks of the railroad
having been located in 1901 by the
county commissioners of Androscoggin
county: and further objects on the
ground that the railroad commissions
crs erred in deciding that the land and
right of way over which the highway
in question was located in 1901 were not
used for station purposes.
It is rarely that case that an appeal
is taken from rulings and decisions of
the Maine railroad commissioners. and
it is still rarer for the Supreme court
few are now pending before the court,
but no decisions have been made. The
law governing railroads gives the COM
missioners explicit power to settle all
disputes in relation to railroad cross
ings. locations and the like. and it is
presumed that the court is aware of its
scope and purposes.
