Ogden. Feb. :.
CIRCLE OF G. A. R. WOMEN
Another Patriotic Organization In
stituted in Ogden.

A circle Of the ladies' of the G. r. r.
was organized yesterday in the city
hail. The circle is in a general way
similar in aims and organization to the
w r. c.. but is not tributary to or
auxiliary to the national G. A r.. as
is the older order The members are
lineal. descendants of G.. A. r. mem
bers. or are closely related in some way
as sister Or wife. There was a good
attendance yesterday and much inter-
est was evinced in the work. The off,
GERS elected are: Sarah Chapman

Gertrude Carr, guard; Ida Hayes, as
sistant eonductress; Ina Davis, assist

MONTANA CATTLE DYING.
Unable to Get at the Grass, Which Is
Covered by Ice.

c. Ira futile. livestock agent for the
Oregon Short Line, has returned from a
trip into Montana. He reports that the
season there has been very rough on cat
lie. East of Chinook, growers have eX-
perienced heavy losses. The snow is not
deep. but il has been subjected to thaws
and freezing until il has been converted
into ice and the cattle have been unable
TO get at the grass. Ordinarily the cat
tie can get at the grass If the SNOW is a
foot or more deep, but they cannot get
through this armor of ice.
East of Chinook cattle are doing we'll.
There is little or no snow and the grass
has been kept uncovered by the Chinook
Winds There are few sheep in that part
OF the country as attention is devoted
chiefly to the raising of cattle to supply
beef for the eastern market The loss to
ranchers OF the line it is feared will be
very heavy as a result of the unfavor-
able conditions.

TROUBLE OVER INSURANCE.
I. n. Cook Is Suing A. E. Becker in
Fourth District Court.

The case of /. H. Cook against A. e.
Becker was on yesterday before Judge
Rolapp. but was not finished owing TO
the desire of the defendant to amend
his answer by charging fraud.
The suit grows out of an insurance
transaction, the plaintiff claiming that
the defendant agreed to take certain
insurance, but refused to pay for or re-
ceive the policy. A jury had been Sc
cured. but was discharged to permit the
defendant to amend the complaint as
desired.

interest is largely from the theoretical
standpoint, due 90 their bearing upon
our present ideas of matter and energy
II is not the mere fact of radiation, for
al bodies are constantly radiating on
ergy in the form of heat rays. tt IS
not the mere fact that these substances
glow in the dark with a dull phOsphOr-
escent lfght. for many other objects do
the same notably the glowwOrm. the
drehy. animalcules in water, many OF
the microscopic plan-s known as baclIl.
.decaying wood and fish. Nor it is be-
csuse these radioactive substances
throw or invisible material particles.
for every volatile solid and liquid is
constantly sending forth such particles
into the air. Nor is il due to the fact
that these particles thrown OF do not
seem TO diminish the mass or weight OF
the body, or that they cannot be caught
and weighed and analyzed like other
forms of matter for the same is true
of all scents and orders. Cedar and san
dalwood and musk give out their fra
GRANGE for years without apparent loss
of weight. Nor is the interest due to
the huorescent, Photographic or electric
effect of these rays. for other invisible
rays such as heat ultra violet light and
x-rays are able to produce similar ef-
fects Nor is it the more recently dis
covered fact that radium is able to
maintain its temperature above that of
surrounding objects. Many If not all
animals and plants are able TO do the
same.
There are five principal reasons why
these radioactive substances are OF
special interest to the scientist:
-
particles which are not radium, but a
different substance, having a lower at
omic weight This is seen in the alpha
rays and the gaseous emanation. 1t i'm
plies the dissertation of the atom into
smaller atoms and of the element into
ether substances. 1t implies a law of
matter analogous to the correlation of
energy. Just as one kind Of energy can
be converted into another kind, so one
substance can be converted into anoth-
er. 1t hints at the possibility OF a
transmutation of metals which the an
cient philosophers so eagerly sought. It
does not affect the law Of conservation
of mass, or the indestructibility of mat
ter
C2) A second important fact is that
radium throws of particles that are
smaller than the smallest atoms These
are the beta rays, which, as We have
seen, are the same as the cathode rays
of the Crookes tube. These particles
all seem to have the same mass. what
ever the substance from which they
come. This implies a new unit of mat
ter and "a new element from which all
the different chemical elements are
built up. This is not new idea. but IL
is another confirmation of a theory that
has been growing In strength for several

Different Kinds of Becquerel Rays.
A closer study of the penetrating
power, the Iuminescent and electric ef-
fects Of the Becquerel ravs has led 40
the conclusion that there are at least
three kinds of rays all evoked stimuli
taneorsly from the same element. a.
thouSh not necessarily in the same pro
portions, in the different elements. For
convenience cf reference these are
usually designated the alpha (a), the
beta (b). and the gamma (g) rays. BY
proper manipulation the three classes
may De sifted and studied separately.
The alpha rays have but little power
Of penetration, being stopped by a thin
sheet Of aluminium foil or a few inches
Of air, or, according TO Prof Crookes.
by piece Of glazed paper or cardboard.
Their Photographic and fluorescent ef-
fects are comparatively slight. but
when they strike a screen covered with
zinc sulphide they produce a beautiful
scintllating effect. like stars IN a black
SKY when viewed with a microscope
IN order to show this effect. Prof.
Crookes has invented a little instrument
which he calls a spinthariscOpe. II
consists Of a magnifying lens. a zinc
sulphide screen and movable index
10 which is attached a little particle Of
radium bromide. In order to see the
scintillations it IS necessary to exclude
all lights from the eye for a few min
utes, 70 rest the nerve and expand the
pull. At first Il was thought that the
alpha rays were not affected by a mag
net, but Prof. Rutherford, OF Montreal
has recently proved that they are
slightly detected by a powerful magnet
and in a direction which Indicates
that they carry a positive charge and
are moving with a velocity approaching
that Of light. He concludes from this
that they are positive ions. similar 10
the cathode aff1ux Of the Crookes tube
But he has measured the relative mass
Of these ions and finds II to be not more
than / per cent of the atomic weight Of
the element. II would seem from these
facts that the heavy atoms OF radium
are dissociated into smaller atoms of a
different substance. probably helium
and that these smaller atoms give of
one OF more electrons and thus become
positive ions, or coelectrons. and that
these ions and electrons are hurled into
space with tremendous velocity
The beta rays are far more penetrat-
ing. being able to pass through glass or
several inches of metal and still affect

cries have attracted many other inves-
tigators to this interesting field Of re-
search, who have discovered other ra-
dio-active substances and other proper
ties Of the rays until today the sub
ject Of radio-activity has become an i'm
portant branch OF physical chemistry
and is destined greatly to extend and
modify. II not IN some particulars to
controvert. our present theories Of mat
ter and energy
A radioactive substance may be de-
fined as a substance that is capable. at
all temperatures, Of spontaneously and
continuously emitting Becquerel rays.
I. e. rays capable Of penetrating bodies
that are usually regarded as Opaque,
and producing certain characteristic
Photographic and electric effects. II is
found that large number OF bodies
possess this power to a greater or less
extent. Such rays have been detected as
coming from many plants, the bricks
and stones in our houses, freshly fallen
snow and rain and the gases obtained
from the water OF deep wells. But in
most cases IL is only a temporary activ-
its and il is not certain that il is not
due TO traces Of radium I'm their com
position. or more probably IL is only an
acquired or Induced activity. due To the
presence or contact OF a permanently
active substance. such as Tadium, tho
rum or uranium. For il is an establish
ed fact that these strongly sctive sub
stances have the power Of producing a

radium is kept will emit rays for some
