Price of Coal Advanced.

Local dealers at Little Rock have
advanced the price of soft coal to 81
per ton. giving the excuse that fam
inc of fuel is threatened. This con-
tention appears absurd when it is
known that within a short distance of
the capital city there is an inexhaust-
ible supply OF coal. The worst fea
ture of this advance in fuel is the
fact that the sufferers are of class
the least able to stand it, as those OF
ample means generally put in their
fuel in the summer at about onehalf
present prices. This is a case wherc
the weak must bear the burdens of

Nickel Steel Rails Successful.

The value of rails of nickel steel has
been so effectually demonstrated that
large orders are being given in many
directions. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. More than 1000 tons of nickel
steel rails, eighty-ive pounds to the
yard. We're laid by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company last spring
on curves where traffic is heavy. This
rail. when experiments were being
made, gave good results. the be-
ing very much less than with the ordi-
nary bessemer steel. 1t is considera-
bly, harder and. although more expen-
sive. has proved more economical in
the end. In one test nickel steel was
laid in 1897 and new bessemer steel in
1898. In 1902 the latter had to be re-
newed. while the nickel steel appeared
good for several more years Of service.

RADIuM TEST m CHICAGO.
Photographs L by Substance
That Emits Light and Heat.

Photographs Taken by Substance
That Emits Light and Heat.
A minute quantity of the rare metal
known as "radium' from the fact that
it has been discovered to radiate heat
and light spontaneously has reached
Chicago. Its property Of ditfusing light
has been tested by w. G. Fuchs, Y ray
expert, and a successful photograph
has been made by the aid of the light
from the radium alone. says the Chi
cago News.
One grain of the precious substance.
which retails at about 81 100000 a
pound. was received recently by Mr..
Fuchs from Professor Max Slaby Of
the University of Berlin. The sum Of
$3.50 was paid for the contents of the
tiny Theoretically sealed glass recepta-
Gle. this being less than the price asked
for absolutely pure radium. as a small
quantity of bromide was mixed with
it. Enough pure radium to equal the
weight .,of a one carat white diamond
would be worth about $4,000, while the
diamond could be bought for $3.50.
The radio activity of radium varies
according to it's approximate purity.
ranging from forty times to 1000 times
the radio activity of uranium. That
secured by Mr.. Fuchs has the minimum
radio activity. When examined in a
dark room the glass receptacle contain
ing the substance appears to glow with
| a soft whitish light.
In experimenting with the light shed
by the radium a stone removed by the
aid of the X ray from the kidney Of a
patient was placed on a Photographic
plate which had first been inclosed in a
black envelope. excluding all light
from the plate. The glass receptacle
containing the radium was then placed
over the plate at a height of about an
inch and a half and allowed to remain
in that position for tw~enty-four hours.
The plate was then developed in the
usual way, and a good photograph was
found to have been secured. Had the
radium been absolutely pure the photo
graph could probably have been taken
in a few minutes. M--... Az
The substance maintains a tempera-
ture of ~ degrees c. above the sur

YALE'S NEW DANGER.

President Hadley Says Clfques of
Rich Students Injure College Life.
President Arthur t. Hadley in his
annual report on Yale university, ac-
cording to a New Haven dispatch to
the New York American, condemns too
much luxury among students and
says: ".G..
"The chief danger that menaces the
solidity of Yale college life comes from
the formation of influential groups of
students who live outside the college
buildings.
"a group of this kind. with quarters
more luxurious and arrangements for
comfort more complete than the college.
can readily afford, becomes a source of
evil which is rather intangible and
very indefnable. but none the less real
on that account.
"If we can make the college life Of
the ordinary man who has neither
money nor influence behind him big
enough to be the really important
thing il the institution we can disre-
gard disease spots which otherwise
might be dangerous, because we may
be sure that the general strength of
the place will be sufficient to eliminate
the danger and react against the evil"
