The Scarcity of Radiu1n.

At the present time we possess only
about Il gram Of the pure salts of IA
dium.- However great may be the care
taken in such researches, small losses
arc inevitable, and serious losses have
at times resulted from unforeseen ac-
cidents brought on by the disconcerting
properties Of radium. Research in all
branches Of experimental science
physics, chemistry. physiology, medi-
cine-is impeGed, and whole evolu-
ton in science is retarded. by the lack
Of this precious and unique material,
which can now be obtained only at
great expense. We must look to indi-
yidual initiative to come to the aid Of
science, as it has so often done in
the past, and to facilitate and expedite
by generous gifts the success Of re-
searches the influence of which may be
far-reaching.-Mme. Curie, in the Cen
tury.

Men and boys of the west end OF

for the past three months there has
been no outlet from either pond.

MINERS ENTOMBED
Explosion Causes Horror in
Pennsylvania Pit.
TWO HUNDRED VICTIMS
Another Deadly Tragedy Of the Penn
sy!vania Coal Fields is Added to
the Already Long List-Res-
cuers Baked in Work.

A special from Pittsburg, Pa. says:
Nearly two hundred men were en-
tombed Monday by an explosion in
the shaft Of the Hardwick mine of tho
Allegheny Coal Company, near Cres-
wick.
About 200 men, all told, were EN-.
ployed at the mine, $50 working inside
and the remainder on the tipple. The
men on the tipple were badly burned
by the explosion. With a loud report
and an upheayal like an earthquake
the wood work of the tipple was de-
stroyed. The walls of the shaft were
filed with debris. rocks and earth,
completely shutting off all escape for
those in the mine.
From all that could be learned
shortly after the catastrophe, between
1S0 and 100 men are lying dead at the
headings and passageways of the
mine. Cage after cage was sent down.
into the mine and came up again, out
only one miner out of all those that
went down to work had been brought
to the surface. The rescued man is
Adolph Gunia, and he was still in
semi-unconscious condition.
The explosion occurred at 8:2a
a. m. and the first warning was the
sudden rumble underground, and then
a sheet Of flame followed up the deep
shaft. Both mine cages were hurled
through the tipple, 20 feet above the
landin gstage and the men working on
the tipple were thrown to the ground.
A mule was thrown high above the
shaft and fell dead on the ground.
The injured were carried at once to
Pittsburg, where SINE of them have
died since. After the explosion the
crash at the pit mouth startled the

ment. There was no way to get into
the deep workings. The cages that
let the men into the mines and
brought them out again when the,
days work was done were both demof-,
ished. All day long there was a jam
of women and children waiting at the
mouth of the pit. There were calls
for assistance, but it was not until 4
o'clock Monday afternoon that the
first attempt to rescue was made.
This was a failure, as the two men
who volunteered were driven back by
the foul air.
The rescuers were brought out
coated with ice, drenched. to the skin
and unable to walk They reported
that the dead were scattered one
above the other as thick as pine nee
dies, and that water was fast pouring
into the mine, covering the corpsee,
and with a shroud Of ice and making
the work of rescue almost impossible.

A Magistrate of this city said the
other day that while studying the
famous lawsuits and decisions OF his.
tory he had been amazed to find the
judgment Of Solomon paralleled in
half dozen cases. One Of these cases
he had come upon in the Gesta Ro-
manorum. A certain traveller had died
in foreign country, and three youths
had each laid claim to being the mans
only son. He had had only one son,
and for the judge to ascertain which
Of the three claimants was the right
f,ll heir seemed an impossible task.
BY no means at loss, however. the
Judge ordered the dead mans body
to be brought forth and bade the three
claimants to shoot at 1t with arrows.
Two shot; the third. with tears in his
eyes, refused; and to him. of course.
the property of the dead man was
awarded.
Another case. the Magistrate said,
was to be found in the Harleian MSS.
Two babies played together by the
Ganges, when an alligator swallowed
one up. Two mothers then each
claimed the remaining baby as her
own. and the Judge. even as Solomon
had done, bade them to take hold OF
the legs and pull, whereupon the true
mothers identity revealed Itself.

Magistrate concluded, Says that
