Fourth f7oor-Dormitories
The dormitories will provide sleep
ing quarters and a home for many
young men who are separated from
home ties, and Will prove, as have the
dormitories of the Topeka Railroad
Y. NJ. G. A. and of all other associa-
lions where they are in use, a source
of considerable revenue thus greatly
reducing the regular current expenses;
being used only by the members the
property would not be subject to any
tax and the advantages of having a
large number of young men in such
close and constant contact with the
association are obvious. Another rea-
son that imDels US to this action IS
thatw should build before ground adj
vances in price. No site has yet been
selected but several suitable ones are
in view at a reasonable valuation
To provide the required amount, we
believe upon a conservative estimate,
that the young men who are members
will contribute from their small in
comes at least $4,000. Property val
ued at $4,000 was conveyed to the
association for this purpose several
years ago, and several public spirited,
philanthropic, Christian business men
have made subscriptions of $4,000
each, and others are confidently ex-
pected. If the members contribute
$4,000, or One-SeNenIn OF the re-
quired amount, it will be a larger
proportion than is usually given by
young men in other places. For the
most part they are possessed of no
property and but small incomes,
which in many cases must be shared
with others. The subscriptions are to
be made payable in installments as
may be most convenient for the sub
scribers, the expectation and desire
being that one-fourth will be required
September /, 1904; one-fourth about
March l, 1905; one-fourth about Sep
tenn Der l, 1905, and the balance about
January I, 1906. We are pledged not
to let the contract for the building
until the amount needed is sub
| scrfbed.
On behalf of this enterprise we re
/ quest the generous support of every
person in the community, without re-
gard to nationality, creed or religious
| belief

ACT1NIUM AS RIVAL OF RAD1uM
New Element Being Experimental
With by DR.. Kunz of New YOrk-Its
Properties Are Little Known.

rival substance to radium In its In.
terest to the public, called actinium, Is
being experimental with by Dr. George
F. Kunz, chemist and diamond expert
of New York city. While little is known
Of the properties of actinium, DR.. Kunz
said that philanthorpist in Buffalo has
shown sufficient faith in it's properties
to offer to experiment with it in a cancer
hospital.
The discoverer of actinium, NJ. De-
berine, of Paris, sent a pinch OF the
priceless iron ore containing it to Dr..
Kunz recently. So far Dr. Kunz has
found actinium different from radium in
it being less penetrating and yet exert
ing much more powerful effect on q
platinum, barium, and cyanide screen.
The carnations from the substance are
profuse and are almost like vapor.
DR.. Kunz is the first scientist in Amer
lea to experiment with the new element.
At least so men are experiment with rad
ium. DR.. Kunz believes actinium may
be found in Utah and Colorado. Prof.
Phillips, of Princeton, has obtained ac-
tive radium from carnolite in Mcintyre
canon, Dolores, Col, and DR.. Kunz L.
OF opinion that actinium must be there
also.

Hawaii. Barking Sands.

The barking sands" are found
where the sand has accumulated on
the seashore in great heaps, some OF
which are 80 or more feet high. These
peculiar sands are not common. Some
of them are found at Narbouche on the
east side Of the Red sea in Arabia, and
several large ones in the Hawaiian
islands. Scientists have rede some
study Of these musical sands, but they
have not yet discovered the cause of
the sounds. These sands are called
barking" because at times they re-
semble the barking Of an animal; al
other times they produce loud hum
ming sound which can be heard at a
considerable distance. It is thought by
some that the movement Of the winds
over the vast sand heaps causes a vi.
bration OF the particles just as the
movement Of the winds produces sound
in the branches Of trees The native
Hawaiians attribute these strange
noises to the incantations Of demons

TATTOOED WOMEN.
Famous Pictures, Crests, AutOmO-
bf1es, Phrases and Bad Jokes
on Some Fair InteEuments.

Alfred South, of Cockspur street, who
may be described as the pioneer of the
tattooing art, has during his career op-
Grated on upward of $4,000 persons, in
Guiding about 900 English women, the
designs in great number of Gases being
OF most peculiar description, says the
London Mail.
Perhaps the most striking Of all are
representations OF two celebrated paint
ings. "The Crucifxion" and "Ecce
Homo" One woman has depicted or
her skin picture representing a flight
of birds. Portraits of husbands and low
ers are popular with women, and there
are several instances in which women
have been tattooed with their husbands
regimental crest. Monograms, initials
and family Quarterings abound.
Languages, too, have their due share
attention. Many women have written
on their arms words belonging to vari-
out tongues-Assyrian, Chinese, Arabic.
Religious subjects are very popular, es-
pecially with Roman Catholics.
There are some instances where la
dies have had the inscriptions on their
beneath the ring. Etchings of bracelets
In yellow encircle the arms Of many.
Ladies who like to keep pace with the
times may be adorned with illustrations
of motor cars.
Another device is that Of figure of
Cupid disappearing into the recesses of
a pewter pot, having cast aside his bow
and culver. This picture, which has
been tattooed on the arm of one woman
only, is entitled Love Gone to Pot"

Growth OF Labor Unions.

The rapid rise Of labor unionism in
America is traced by w. z. Ripley. pro-
lessor of economics at Harvard. While
English unions have increased, in nine
years. from 100000 to 1900. 900, those
of the United States have grown from
100000 to 10000 The causes for its
growth have been. in the main, prosper
ity, the trust or combination idea, the
coal strike, and the labor movements
natural growth. The future of unions
will depend, Prof. Ripley thinks. on the
continued prosperity of the country and
on the administration of the unions.
