there is SO little radium in the S it is worth Se 000000 a pound. Ihafe ls no pure radium shown. It Is 'dirfy-ioouhg little powder and the demonstrator used a speck about me size of camor1c neeo- ie point on @ little instrument called the spinthariscope This is a small metal tube two inches long, having magnifying lenses at one end and being closed at the other In the closed end there are tiny yellow crystals of zinc sulphide stuck on a disk of paper before which stands pointer like the hand of watch. On the tip of this is the speck of radium Watching the spinthariscope one can see a constant flow of points of light which come from the zinc sulphide paper. The demonstrator says that these radiations would go on for thousands of years with out lessening the energy of the radium. That would mean perpetual motion.
 Radium is a metal, the government of- ficial will tell you. Its weight Is PA as compared with gold, 196 It constantly transmutes rays without losing weight. Though it is one of the heaviest sub stances know. it yet can be turned into helium, a gaseous element, which is very light. Radium is composed of atoms like everything else, and these atoms are full of electrops which are supposed to be al- most infinitesinally unimaginable par particles of electricity. The sole value VI liliS neW eleII1enI IS Sc1entl1lcs IL WOuIu give us new notions about everything.
 Prof, George, F. Kunz. of the United States geological survey, the government expert of the radium exhibits in the government building and in the palace of mines and metallurgy. showed the writer samples of radium in the latter building. In glass case were pieces of pitchblende from which sradium comes, and then in row of tiny vials half wrapped in cot ton and enclosed h other sealed bottles were particles of this precious brown dust called radium (not in the pure state.)
 Professor Earnest Rutherford of Eng land has suggested that radium causes the earth's heat, but Professor Kunz said:
 There is so little radium in the world that if it was all crystalized together 1t would have no more effect in heating and lighting the earth than would one incan- descent electric light upon the 1,240 acres of ground comprising the Worlds fair. There is so little radium in the world that 1t can hardly change our present systems. but like other discoveries it may have an appreciable influence upon the scientific world"

Perhaps you may say you prefer to postpone purchasing one, but with the right kind of a price on the right piano, and on special terms, won't you consider a proposition now?

TIGERS IN INDIA.
They Make About an Even Break
 With the Hunters.

. Bombay Cable to the Times-Democrat.
 Sport was very even In the central pro- yinces of India during 1903. Men bagged 199 tigers. and the tigers bagged lso men.
 These figures are taken from gov ernment of India annual report showing the ravages of wild beasts during the period under review. There were four -maneaters abroad in the central pro vinces-which, by the way, are about the size of Scotland-and between them they accounted for the 190 human be- lngs.
 The government offered a reward of 935 apiece for each maneater, but this sum had not once to be paid. A claim was put in, but it was subsequently, found that the animal killed was only deer slayer or cattle-lifter, and that the de- stroyer of humanity had moved into an- other district some miles away
 One tigress is known to have killed no less than forty-eight persons in one dis trIct alone during this period-that Is to say, practically one a week.
 A maneater Is the wariest of animals. Man being its prey, it is careful to con ceal itself from it's hunting grounds. A tiger, in spite of it's size, is most diff ficult to detect in the scrub and grass, and sportsmen will live years in jungles where to hear the purr of tiger at night is common event, but will never set eyes on the royal beast, except In lucky chance.
 Tn addition to this number killed by tigers, 1s0 deaths, in the central provinces during 1903 were due to partners. and wolves accounted for fifty.

 It is during the forenoon that the vis- itor who chances behind the scenes has an opportunity to get an idea of the real life of the circus folk Stroliing into the property room he sees long rows of benches piled high-witfl show attire vary ing from the crazy-quilt contume of the clown to suits of what appear to be pol ished steel armor, but what are more often made out of heavy block tin, with a light frame work inside to keep them in shape Ugly looking spears and battle axes are stacked against the tent poles. All kinds of footwear. from sandals to rid- ing boots, are apparently thrown down In the most convenient place, but in spite of the thousands of garments, weapons and other paraphernalia, every piece has its place, and the property Keepers can pick out what belongs to each performer at moments notice s-.., s.,
 This is why fifty or sixty people can dress for an act as quickly as in the mod ern theatre. All they have to do is to ask for what they want, and 1t Is handed out immediately.
 Then the men go into their greenroom under canvas and the women into theirs. These are situated between the property room and the circus tent so that when the performers are ready to be called they can appear in the arena at mo- ment's notice. s'

The Circus stabIes.

Tn the modern circus the same plan Is followed as in the theatre. Call boys ar- nounce each act in the property tent and greenroom.- and while the man with the performing dogs Is putting them through their "stunts," the brothers and sisters who do somersaults and other wonderful things in full dress are getting ready to startle the public.
 Circus stables are usually divided into two parts-one for the draft horses that haul the vans and the other wagons, and tho other for the riding horses and ponies, for the latter naturally require more care than the ''teamers.'' One of the dryest spots of the circus grounds Is picked out for these tents and they are plentifully filtered with straw, while the sides are left open so that the air circulates freely.
 Some of the stables have ventilators in the top, which help keep the temperature cool-a very desirable feature In mid summer when the performances may be given with the mercury up in the 9Os Ev- cry animal In the stable is groomed daily, whether he is a work horse or the star trick performer.
 He has his regular allowance of hay and oats and. in fact, Is looked after as care fully as if he were the most valuable of the lot. Most of the large companies have at least one and sometimes two veterinary surgeons, who go through tho stables ev- cry day and care for any of the steeds which may be under the weather
 Performing horses are about of as many breeds as performing dogs. The pure blood Arabian, as he Is advertised on the billboard. may have come from the blue grass country but the chances are he has been picked up from some farmer by the horse buyer, who Is continually on the lookout for stock which can be trained for the ring.

Choice and Platform of Massachusetts Convention
HEARST WAS NOWHERE
His Followers Beaten Four to One. The Unit Rule Adopted, Notwith- standing the Assurance Geo. Fred Williams Had on Convention Eve.

Boston, April 21.-By an overwhelm- ing vote the Massa chusetts democratic convention at Fremont Temple today instructed the four delegates at large and the twenty delegates from the var ious congressional districts of the state to support Richard Olney of this city for president at the democratic conyen- ton next July.
 The four delegates at large pledged to support Olney were elected, and the Hearst supporters defeated by a vote 600 to 200. A resolution endorsing Hearst was voted down by large ma jority.
 George Fred Williams the leader of the faction of the Massachusetts dem ocracy supporting the Hearst candi- dacy made a vigorous protest against the adoption of the unit rule, but the convention by a vote of nearly 4 to l refused to strike from the platform the clause calling for unanimous action with reference to the presidential nom i inee and, after adopting the resolutions presented by majority of the commit tee, voted, that the unit rule govern not only the support of Olney, but | also all matters pertaining to the con- vention. The platform adopted consist ed of a single plank, an endorsement of Olney and instructed delegates to vote as unit for him.
 The proceedings of the convention were marked at times by scenes of great turbulence. After the adjourn ment Mir. Williams issued a statement 1 in which he said the action of the con vention in adopting the unit rule was rank absurdity from beginning to i end and that the distrit delegateR
 would pay no attention to to'day's vote.

JAPANESE SPIES.
They are Shifting Everywhere Among
 Russian Troops.

Mukden, April 21.-The operations of the Russians in Manchuria are greatly hampered by an immense number of spies. Major General Kondratsvitch, commanding the Ninth east Siberian rifle brigade, says the Japanese have taken advantage of the convenient To- cation of New Chwang, which is full of spies.
 Tn guise of merchants. beggars, rag pickers and lackeys," says the general, these spies sniff everywhere. They have grown pigtails, showing they have been preparing for their work for a long time and they are unwilling to trust entirely to the information sup piled by Chinese. They are hard to get rid of. These insects, as soon as they obtain information, go across the river into Chinese territory, where they use the telegraph. Some of them have been caught but a majority wander among the troops and nothing can be done to prevent it.
 The Chinese spy who was caught several days ago was sent to Liao Yang where he was shot. The Chinese manifested deep sympathy, following him along the streets after he had been captured.

SEIZED BRITISH SAILORS
NiCaraguan Officials Have Bred Trou-
 ble for Themselves.

Kingston, Jamaica, April 21-British cruiser Retribution, which under in struction from the imperial government sailed from Kingston on April Il for a Nicaragua port in connection with the seizure of six Cayman turtle schooners and the arrest of their crews by Near aguan officials, returned to Port Royal from the Nicaraguan coast today after ascertaining that the vessels and crews had been sent to Bluefelds. The cap tain of the Retribution accused the Nicaraguan commandant, under whose orders the schooners were seized of piracy. There is consternation among the Nicaraguan officials over the affair.
 It was necessary for the Retribution to return to Port Royal to coal, but the cruiser will sail for Bluefields on Tuesday next to demand the release of the prisoners and boats, and also com pensation for their illegal seizure and detention. It is rumored that should it be found necessary the retribution will lombard the port of Bluefelds.

Only Two of the ApprOpri- atiOn Measures Remain
PENSION BILL PASSED
Democrats Regret the Absence of the Genersl Rivers and Harbor Bill. Signs of Final Adjournment Begin ming to Appear in the House.

Washington, April 21.-The pension appropriation bill carrying an appro- priation of over $137,OOO,OOO and the emergency river and harbor appropria- ton bill, which carries $3,000,000 were passed today by the senate, leaving only the general deficiency and the military academy bills of the entire list of supply measures still to be con- sidered by the senate. While the river and harbor measure was under con- sideration MT. German sharply criticis- ed the failure to bring in a general river and harbor bill.
 MT. Elkins, in charge of the bill, re- piled that the judgment of the commit tee on commerce, which had reported the bill, had been that a general bill could not be passed and that the state of the treasury and of the public busi- ness would not justify such Q measure. There was a controversy between Messrs. Aldrich and German, the latter charging the republicans with a de- termination to force an early adjourn ment for political purposes and Mir. Aldrich asserting that MT. German could discuss the public questions as long as he chose.
 MT. German criticised the republicans for not passing the general river and harbor bill, which was due to decree coming from an all powerful source against the policy, which none could resist" The bill was passed.
 MT. McCumber reported an amend ment to the pension bill appropriating S4,0OO,0O0 in addition to the sum car ried by the bill as reported, of which amount $1,500,0OO is to pay increased pensions to July 1 next under the old age order and S2,5O9O00 to meet the deficiencies.
 Mir. Hale made d point of order that the amendment belonged on the defl- ciency bill. where it had been taken care of and the chair sustained the point.
 MT. Scott expressed regret that Mr. McCumber had felt called upon to de- fend the pension system. Men who, like Senator Nelson or Senator Aldriei had taken his knapsack on his back, de- served the gratitude of his country. Tt make no difference" said he, whether tue deficiency is four millions or four hundred millions, I am for the soldier and his widow and children and if could do so by vote of mine ! would pay a pension of S25 per month to every soldier whatever his term of service and whether he is rich or poor"
 The pension bill was passed.
 The house bill increasing to 640 acres the size of homestead entries in the western part of Nebraska passed, Mir. Dietrich saying that the area covered by the bill was about 5000, ,00U acres and that it was nothing but a succession of sand hills.
