Wednesday before the Senate commit

before has there been instituted an in
quiry into creeds or political factors
to determine whether an unlawful in

nearly all officials of the Mormon

the large committee room. Quite a

and watched things with interest.

R1DIUM IN VERMONT.

Burlington, March 4.-Dr. W. G,
E. Flanders of this city has one. sixth
OF grain of radum, the first brought
into this State. He bought it from a
New York firm and it is portion of
the first shipment of three graihs from
France to this country. The sub
stance is confined in a slender glass
vial and this, when not in use, is
placed in lead-lined receptacle.
Lead offers the greatest resistance to
the radium rays and they are confined
in it to prevent harmful results from
the effects of the rays. Three dis
considerable amount of heat, are con-
tinuously evolved without any sp-
parent change in the material. Tie
alpha rays are those most employed
in the treatment of diseases. DR..
Flanders is using the radium in the
treatment of cancer and lupus, also in
the treatment of skin diseases. The
rays have been found very effective in
the treatment or pulmonary troubles.
If the tube be suspended in glass of
water Tor a short time the water will
be luminous for a considerable time
and this water, when taken into the
stomach, is effective in the treatment
of diseases of that organ. In the
treatment of catarrh good results have
been obtained by the patient breath
ing air that has been subjected to the
effect of the rays. Great care must
be exercised in tie use of the rays be-
cause about two weeks are consumed
/ before their effect is felt. In dark
ened room the rays are plainly visible,
but in the light this wonderful ma
terial has a very commonplace ap-
pearance, looking like substance
which bids fair to revolutionize
medical science.

RUSSlA'S CONTRABAND LIST.

The Russian government has issued
proclamation containing a list of
articles which may not be carried to
Japanese ports in neutral ships with
out making these ships liable to cap
ture by Russian cruisers. Coal and
food stuffs are included. The govern
ments course is in conformity with
customan strict enforcement of
the proclamation terms could no
justify complaint. 1t might, however,
cause establishment. Russian cruis-
ers are in frequent quantities these
days. The making of proclamations
is one thing, the enforcing of them is
another. The Russian navy in East
ern waters is not in a position to
scurry up and down the coasts of Jap
an seeking merchantmen with contra
band of war on board, and if attempts
are made to obstruct commerce in
more remote seas where the japanese
ships are unable to go because they
have no coaling stations. IL will be
an easy matter for vessels carrying
contraband to clear for some neutral
port in China and thence make for
Japan over path which no Russian
warship will dare to patrol. The
ability to neutralize this proclamation
is not least among the profits accruing
to the japanese from their initial
victories at sea. With her unsunk
battleships and cruisers confined to
pei functory excursions in the neigh
borhood of Port Arthur and Vladi-
vostok, Russia is harmless to the
commerce of Japan and traffic in con-
taraband of war may be pursued in
definitely by the latter country. II is
not impossible that some future
Mahan may find excuse for another
volume on the influence of sea power
upon history in contemplating the
effect of japanese naval enterprise
upon Asatic politics in 1904. And
that volume will not be complete
without some consideration of the
effect of this enterprise upon neutral
trade and navigation. - Brooklyn
