IN the last issue of the 'sEntomolo-
gist." C. L. Marlatt, assistant entomolo-
gist to the Agricultural Department, has
an. Interesting account Of two visits
which he paid to the Japanese entomolo-
gist. Y. Nawa, of Gifu, Japan. Mr..
Nawa Is the leading Japanese specialist
in his line, and has acquired world
wide reputation for the extent and &C
curacy of his Investigations. Despite
inuumerable obstacles, ne has continued
his studies, and his produced results
which have placed entomologists of
every country under obligations to him.
Mr.. Nawa is now about fifty years
old, and has been student OF insects
for thirty years. He began as a boy
without books of any kind to assist him,
and in few years had collected such
large amount OF data that he was able
to begin a valuable and necessary CLASH
f1cation of the insects Of Japan. He en-
tered into correspondence with experts
in other lands, acquired a library. and
when he began the real standardization
OF his work he was thoroughly
equipped.
Year after year Mr.. Nawa has been
adding TO his collection. until now 1t IS
remarkably extensive. His present col
lection, full as 1t Is. has been acquired
only during the last decade, as a severe
earthquake. ten or twelve years ago,
completely destroyed the building in
which were stored the results of years
of collecting. and he was compelled TO
start all over again. Not only has he
a collection for himself, but he is en-

Kneisel Quartet to Travel.

Not little surprise is manifest here,

drawal Of the Kneisel Quartet from the
Boston symphony Orchestra. The quar-
tet will travel through Europe and ap-
pear IN concert. Henry L. Higginson.
founder and supporter OF the Boston
Symphony. has made a statement rela-
tive to the withdrawal OF the quartet,
in which he says:
Mr. kneisel and Mr.. Schroeder were
brought from Europe both to take the
first place among their respective in
struments and also to play in the quar-
tet, which from the outstart 1 had in
tended to establish here as an adjunct
OF the orchestra. This purpose 1 car
ried out and bore the quartet on my
shoulders for some years. The mem
bers of the Kneisel quartet have served
me in every capacity long faithfully,
and intelligently. and deserve very we'll
OF the public. Their reasons for leaving
US are good and convincing. and, while
these gentlemen are a great loss to the
orchestra and to me, I see that they can
labor more freely and to their own
greater profit and renown by taking this
step. and they take 1t with my entire
consent and good will. But few losses
in this world cannot be made good, and
the places thus vacant will be filled by
artists of the highest class. 1 wish the
members of the Knefsel quartet all sue
cess in their new Efforts
The places thus vacant will be filed
by artists OF the highest class" This

OUNCE OF RADIUM COSTS
A MILLION DOLLARS
Few Miligrams of Precious Product to Be Brought
to This Country.

An effort is to be made to bring
small amount OF the tiny supply of ra-
dunn now held by scientists In Europe
to the United States for experimental
purposes About $4,000 will be paid
for a few milligrams. Only an ounce
had been manufactured, and this Is held
at $1,000, 600.
Two German firms have begun The
manufacture OF the new discovery
which is produced In the form o. a
bromide More than two tons of ore are
required to produce an ounce.
The scientists who are negotiating fer
the radium are New Workers. Special
messengers are to be sent to Germany
to bring the precious substance to the
Empire City. There is no other product
which costs anywhere near as mucn as
radium. Gold becomes ridiculously
cheap when compared to It. az it is
only SIG an ounce. There are other
metals which cost as high as $4,000 an
ounce.

certain diseases having their origin in
tuberculosis The latter was put into
practical use when it was discovered
that patients undergoing x-ray photo
graphic examinations suffered from skin
burnings and loss of hair. Experiments
proved that the rays penetrated deeply
into the flesh and had a strong physical
effect
Beneficial results followed the appli-
cation of the rays to ulcers. and then in

have developed nothing definite, beyond
establishing the fact that rays seem to

these were narrowed down by mutual
concessions, and the men. in response
to the spirit with which the railroad
company met these questions, with
drew the claim for the expenses of
the conference, which they estimated
at $50, 900 This action wiped out
the line of division between both
sides and concluded the conference.

RAILROAD WRECK YESTERDAY.
Seven Cars Demolished and Engine 1896
Badly Damaged in Oakland.

Badly Damaged in Oakland.
Yesterday afternoon about three
o'clock a freight train wreck took
place few hundred feet west OF the
Baltimore & Ohio station in Oakland
whereby seven cars-a caboose, two
oil tanks and four gondolas-were de-
molished, and engine No. 1896, draw
ing a heavy coal train, was badly
damaged.
The wreck was caused by the coal
train colliding with the rear of the
east bound pickup, which was stand
ing on the south track, there being
no tlagman out to warn the approach
ing train which was running at about
ten miles an hour. Both tracks were
blocked two or three hours, delaying
traffic that length of time. Luckily
no one was injured, but the brakeman
on the freight train, who was riding
in the cab of the engine, had mar
row escape, he being compelled to
jump to save himself from being
killed or badly injured.
