We've Found You.

AS Sis appeared, Mrs. Hopkins gave
one scream and running to the front
OF the stage exclaimed:
AT last we have found you, if you
did change your name from Eliza to
Sis"
The audience yelled for Mrs. Hopkins
to sit down. and il began TO look as if
trouble might arise from this sudden
interruption. Mrs. Hopkins was taken
from the theater by an officer She de-
1nanded to see the girl then and there,
and remarked to the bystanders that the
entire lot was a ''DarseI of kidnapers. "
In order 10 satisfy her the MANAGEMENT
promised TO take her on the stage.
Meeting Miss Melville in her Sis Hop

good look, which she did. Miss Melville
then excused herself, telling Mrs. Hop

Procress of Science

Radium is now quoted at 100000 Il
pound in London, the price having
been reduced from $1.O0O.OOO by ii
chemist, who has made public the
announcements that he is ready to
sell the precious metal at the rate of
5 shillings a milligram. or at the rate
of S2,000.0O0 for every two and 2-10
pounds. in other words kilo. He has
only about 100 milligrams ON hand.
In the entire world there are about
two pounds. Radium is said to be the
most important discovery in the last
generation. 1t is a powder. com
bination of metals. which gives off a
light almost as strong as the light of
the sun. With ii photograph can be
taken through three feet of iron of Il

ence and physical science can not

The strength of the pure metal is al

would without doubt, destroy his

Protect the Trainmen.

1t is to be hoped the railroad lobby
at Washington will not succeed in de-
featings the bill re-enacting and
strengthening the automatic coupler
law which has been favorably report
ed by the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce and
which has been indorsed by the broth
erhood of railway employees and pass
ed by the senate.
New legislation is necessary be-
cause the United States circuit court
of appeals has practically nullified the
present law. having decided that it
does not require the equipment of en-
gines or tenders with automatic
couplers, nor the equipment of cars
unless actually laden and in transit
in interstate journeys and that uni
form cOuplers are not required nor
those which will work automatically
with the equipment of oars from an
other road
These defects in the law should be
repaired. Hold the railway company
civilly liable for the killing or MAIN
ing of men i'll the operation of rail
ways wherever possible. This is one
means of reducing the record of rail-
way casualties in this country, which
is altogether too high by comparison
with England's. Last year 4,192 pas
sengers were injured on our railways
and 249 killed. while for Great Brit
ain the record was only 467 killed and
none injured. Notwithstanding the
number of passengers carried was
twice as great as ours. We seem to
be behind Great Britain in the mat
ter of precautions for the safety OF
trainmen and the public. The protec-
ton to human life is the very first
duty of government and il is duty
which from appearances can not be
delegated to the transportation com
panies themselves. They seem to have
interests more important to them
which conflict with the thorough dis
charge of this igation.-Dubuque
