THE RADIUM PUZZLE.
It's Enough to Drive the Physicists and
 Chemists to Drink

IL s Enough to Drive the Physicists and Chemists to Drink.
 Some. of our readers, with a taste for excursions into the by-paths of scienti- ffc literature, will perhaps recall the generalizations of Seguin in explana- tion of phenomenon which had pug zled the physicists. It was noticed many years ago that a coin or print, if shut up in box in proximity to-, though 1t may not be in contact with, a sheet of blank paper. was found in time to have impressed its own image upon the blank sheet by process of photog- raphy chiefly, if not exclusively, opera tive in the absence of solar light. These pictures were at first regarded as profound mysteries, explainable only by assuming that superhuman agencies had produced them. Seguin suggested the explanation that the bodies capable of producing this phenomenon did so by giving off a stream of implacable particles projected from themselves with high velocity, and that these par ticles were capable of producing an irn- pression upon what they bombarded. His hypothesis was received with hilar- ity by the physicists, to whom the idea of such a radiation of matter even in infinite Attenuation going on forever without any sensible loss of weight or bulk in the mass drawn upon was in- conceivable. For that matter it is in conceivable still, but it is becoming evil dent that Seguin discovered the only explanation of series of phenomena which find their highest known develop ment in the behavior of uranium and radium. The matter was practically forgotten until 1896, when Becquere1, in the course of some interesting and inn portant experiments with the salts of uranium, observed that they maintained constant radiation, and that the rays thus given off possessed in common with the X-rays of Roentgen the as- tonishing power of passing through ub- stances distinctly opaque to solar ra- diation, and that the rays thus trans mitted through plates of metal, for ex- ample, were able to make distinct inn pression upon a sensitive plate which would be acted upon the actinic rays of solar light. If a small mass of uranium was inclosed in 8 light tight box with a photographic plate, and an opaque ob- ject was interposed between them, the form of that object was distinctly re- produced upon the plate as in the shad- ow pictures of the Roentgen skia- graphs. The novel feature of the radia- ton from crystal of any of the ura- nium stlts was that apparently no ex- citing cause was needed to produce or maintain it. In the case of the Roent- gen rays the application of external en- ergy is necessary to excite the vacuum tube and produce the X-radiation. Uranium, however has this energy within itself. Its radiation appears to go on continuously and is apparently unaffected by any treatment to which the crystal is subjected, such as heat ing, identification or solution in acid

He found it to be dead ly gas. heavier than the air, so that when no wind was blowing the lower part of the canon would be filled with it and it would cause death to any liv- ing thing that breathed it.

and harder to get at. He was a born mechanic of the delicate kind. He made his own fishing rods, and they were wondrous casters. He used to say with smile, he found the secret of life in the butt" His fame ran with the currents of the streams, and soon he had the nobility and gentry of Ire land, begging him in the name of all the leprachauns, to make fishing rods for them.
 Jerry became a professional fishing rod maker and set himself up in bus mess, backed by strong, trout trust. Tired Of tools, sandpaper and varnish- es, he came to the United States, and, failing to make fortune, returned to his old trade and was satisfied. When he stopped fishing. he took refuge in fiddling, and he could play a fiddle, just not quite so well as he could play Q salmon or trout. lt

 The members of the New Haven com mandery, K. T., and their lady friends, had very enjoyable time last evening. Miss May Bradley and Walter Garde sang solos and Arthur D. Perkins enter tained the assemblage with many of his funny sayings. Dr. George L. Porter of Bridgeport delivered his lecture on "The Tragedy of the Nation" in which he spoke of the disposition of the body of J. Wilkes Booth. and told in an inter- esting manner of the inception of the plot to assassinate Lincoln and it's aw- ful and tragic culnina tion. After the lecture light refreshments were served, and a general social time enjoyed. Fichtls orchestra furnished the music. About 200 persons were present.

Negro boys and girls learn trades at Hampton and Tuskegee, but they gain what is more valuable character, social relations. and per- spective, thrift and a sense of respon- sibility. The husbanding of small re- sources in the garden patch. in the field, in trade, and in the lesser village industries are all imparted.
 As the negro race rises in the scale and it is rising-both these institu- tions are adding to their literary and book training. Each year sees an ad- vance. Where they were at the level of the first year of high school they are yearly advancing further along the four years of the high school range. Their technical training grows and i'm proves. In ten years, if they are prop erly supported and supported as they should be, they will both be institu- tions with a basis of practical work and training in the mechanic arts and the farm, and will add to this tech nical training combining the secondary work of the high school and the strict ly applied science of institutions like the DrexeI.
 Step by step, under these institu- tions, wisely planted, one in Virginia and in Alabama, the Southern negro will recover his fit place in the indus trial field, will pass from mere drudge to an intelligent worker, fore man and owner in farm, factory, and mine, work impossible without the endowment and gifts already given, and the work of Armstrong and Frissel at Hampton. and Washington at Tus- kegee.

TEACHING KITTENS TO FIGHT.
 I thought every one knew that cats teach their kittens all the ways of cat life. It was my first lesson in natural history. In my boyhood days a fall confined me to the house. At the foot of my trundle bed a litter of kittens in a basket afforded me amusement. I noticed the thin voice that gradually developed into the strong r1ew, of the old cat, and I knew the mother was continually giving lesson in, cat Ian guage. When the kittens were old enough to leave the basket was sur- prised to see the old cat playing with them. Pussy, as we called her, was a staid old cat, and I did not know that she had any play in her. I soon mo- ticed that she played with each kitten. She had no favorites. After a while 1t dawned on me that Pussy was teaching her kittens how to fight. The arched back and spiteful spittings were soon acquired by the kittens, and they practiced together. The mother gradually dropped out of the. game when the young ones took it up. Pus- sy's family was reduced to one kitten. As this kitten had no mates to practice with, the old cat gave it lessons again in self-defenset and aggression. She taught the kitten. row to deal with a mouse. She would drop a live mouse, near the kitten and then stalk it when it attempted to escape. The kitten looked on several days and then tried to initiate the old cat The mouse nearlyescaped. Pussy caught it, just in time, and let the kitten try again. This time the kitten succeeded in catching the mouse. The old cat often, brought in mouse. but it was a long time before she would allow the kitten, to deal with it alone. When the kit tens education was completed, Pussy gave it to understand that it must strike out for itself. When the kitten persisted in following it's. mother cry ing for its natural food. the old cat would turn and box it's ears soundly.

Jerry was acknowl- edged by the experts to be the best fishing-rod maker in-we won't say the world, because that is too small a place but, in the Greater New York. He wound up his line in his workshop at 151 Fulton street, and was found at rest upon his lounge surrounded by the paraphernalia of his calling.

A allure Impending.

Improper feeding brings on disease The use of coffee for iristnace is almost certain to cause organic ills. The whole system of health becomes in- volved and the physical failure known as collapse is always impending. No financial trouble can cause half the suf- fering that follows disease and most disease comes from what we eat and drink. '~'%
 It is no guess work but solid, scien- tif1c fact that coffee hurts about of every 10 that drink it. It attacks the vital organs directly, and indirectly it's i'll results are frequently seen in the remotest corners of the body. All the while serious organic diseases may be growing that will be hard to cure and the coffee thinker is subject to such suffering as headaches. biliousness, flat ulence, insomnia, nervousness and a hundred and one other ills.
 "Once upon time, as they say in fairy tales, when I was controlled by the coffee f1end," writes a lady of St. John, Canada, life was a weary burden to me on account of the wretched head aches. utter weariness of both mind and body and general biliousness, all due as I afterwards found out to the use of coffee. Acting upon an old friends advice I quit coffee and drank Postum and presto, in a week I was transformed into different being.
 Tn month I was gifted with bound ing energy in place of. my former lassi- tude and a general uprising of my formerly dormant ambitions was plain ly evident. I benefited so greatly that I constituted myself missionary among my friends to spread the truth about Postum and I can tell you of many of my friends who have used it with wonderful good results"

DEATH GULCH.
Deadly Yellowstone Canon Which the
 President Planned to Visit.

Deadly Yellowstone Canon Which the President Planned to Visit. President Roosevelt expects to visit Death Gulch, by far the most dangerous section of the park. This guich is in a remote section and is never visited by tourists. Many years ago trapper told of a remarkable gulch strewn with carcasses of wild animals, to enter which was death. This story was looked upon as a myth until years later, when the place was found to actually exist.
 Death Gulch is located fifteen miles from Yancey's, where the President will go soon after his arrival at Fort Yellow stone, he will travel east to the mouth of Cash Creek. Death Gulch is located one and one-half miles up the creek. It is narrow canon, with precipitous walls, for the most part. There are places where the canon may be entered down the sides, but most of the unfor- tunate animals which wander into the gulch come in by its head. In the bot tom of the gulch and along it's sides are strewn the skeletons and remains of elk, deer and bear that have met their end there. It is this gulch that was made famous by Seton Thompson in his story of "Wahb,' for it was there that the grizzly died.
 Three years ago Dr. Frank W. Trap hagen, professor of natural sciences at the agricultural college at Bozeman and one of the best-known chemists of America, and Peter Koch, president of the Bozeman National bank, visited the gulch. A strong wind was blowing at the time and they were able to go into it from it's mouth without danger. Dr. Traphagen found, as he had suspected, that the unfortunate animals which
