The latter vessel had new jbtopsall

accounted for.
No tidings of her crew has been re-

first that they had been picked up by
another vessel. but some doubt about
this is expressed at the wrecking COM

carried yawl boat. which would not
remain afioat long II heavily loaded.
The fact that nothing has been heard
from the crew is regarded as ominous.
The G. NJ. Brainerd was commanded
by Capt. Frank G. Farr. The sunken

Give Up Search for Gold.

Halifax, N. S.-Through the arrival
here of two sailors, it has become
known that an expedition which left
this port last summer for South Amer
lea to search for treasure has been
abandoned.
A Halifax syndicate backed Capt.
Mcleod of the schooner Hattie l.. NJ.
and he engaged crew at this port and
in England. The captain claimed that
he knew of the presence of gold on an
island thought to be inhabited by semi
sayages. He claimed to have landed
on the island during voyage and had
seen the natives handle gold.
The location of the mysterious ISL
and was not disclosed, but 1t was
thought to lie off the coast of Chile.
Capt. Mcleod invested some OF his
own money in the expedition. Two OF
the crew have reached Halifax. They
state the undertaking has been aban-
doned and that the English members
of the crew have gone home.

The Mystery We Must Solve.

What enables the newly discovered
radium to give out heat and light with
undiminished power, even when 1t Is
surrounded by the coolest mediums
known to science-liQuid air and
liquid hydrogen? "The unraveling OF
this mystery" writes Prof. Simon
Newcomb, the astronomer, in Harper's
Magazine, must be the great work OF
science of the twentieth century" For
an explanation of radium would also
explain the power Of the sun itself,
and of the "vast nebulous masses. in
the midst of which our whole solar
system would be but speck." Prof
Newcomb was not born in America,
but came to this country from Nova
Scotia at the age of 1S, graduating five
years later from the Lawrence Sci
entific School, Harvard University.
