new method for employing radium

been submitted to the action Of the

result of a series Of experiments. has
reached the conclusion that the ef.

Of life. He subjected a number Of
substances, including cork. parafin.
paper and cotton wool, to radium EN-.
anation, and found that they would
produce inhammatory effects on the
skin. The wool, owing to its spongy
nature, seemed to absorb the largest
quantity Of the radium emanatlon and
consequently was the most radioact.
i've. Accordingly, DR.. London carried
on further experiments with wool so
treated, which he found was most
convenient for easy distribution over
the body and ready application at anv

National League News.

This year in the National League
there are only seven players who fin
lshed the season with batting records
Of 300 per cent or better. Hans Wag-
ner Of Pittsburg, who led the league
last year, leads it again with per
centage Of .341 Old Jake Beckley
of st. Louis is second and Mike Don
lin is third. Pittsburg leads in team
batting and New York in extra bases
and steals. Wagner is the chief indi-
vidual slugger and the star base run
ner. Taylor Of New York and Briggs
head the pitchers in the field. War
ner tops the catchers, Pietz the first
basemen, and Raymer the second
sackers. Mccormick leads at third
and Corcoran at short, while the three
oGtfelders managed to escape drop
ping any flies. Three clubs finished
the season tied for first rank IN the
fielding honors. To sum it all up the
batting has been below the standard,
the fielding more than good, and the
base running above the average. The
work Of the pitchers yielded brilliant
results.
Fred Clarke believes that the poor
batting Of his men has been due to
the spit" ball.
Donlin IS the only giant in the 300
class. He did most Of his batting
while with Cincinnati.
Selee thinks that he has another
world-beater In Mitchell, whom he
has drafted from the Syracuse club.
Mitchell win not report before next

presented Is one Of constructing a
