An English gentleman. actively in
country, says the Illustrated Sporting
News, landed in New York not long
ago. and to the friends who met him
expressed the wish to see a game OF
baseball, the national pastime of which
he had heard so much, but with which
he had not the slightest acquaintance.
His willing friend was anxious to
please, and suggested that before MAX
ing a pilgrimage to the baseball
grounds it might be we'll to read some
of the reports of the games as describ-
ed by the able young men employed
by the sporting departments of the
New York daily newspapers. Their ex-
pert criticism and explanation, it was
assumed, would make the stranger
more or less conversant with the game
in advance. Taking this advice he
bought a newspaper of that mornings

HACKFELDS WILL
SWAT BALL TODAY

The dread summons of a challenge to
a baseball match was served on the
| warehouse men of Hackfeld & Co. by
the dapper clerks of the office section
of the big firm, and it was promptly
accepted. The clerks of Hackfeld &
their shoulders for sometime past, as
serting that what they didn't know
about baseball would be a damage to
anybody to know. The warehouse men
didn't say much but sawed wood pa
tiently and quietly, and when the chal-
lenge was sprung, they grabbed it on
sight
1t is believed that the clerks are up
against it. AS soon as their challenge
was accepted there was a hurried con-
sultation as to what they should do to
sustain their bluff. Then they informed
the warehouse men that the game
would take place this morning at 8
o'clock at Kapiolani Park, thinking to
discourage them, but the warehouse
men were game and said they'd be
there.
80 the hottest game OF baseball for
the season is expected at the Park this
morning, and the attendance of root
ers and of those who like to see a game
that is a game. will doubtless be large
Among the clerks is big Duisenberg,
who is said to be able to swat a ball
without looking. He is one of the fast

SOW RADiUM WAS DISCOVERED
Experiments With Becquerel Rays,
Which Gave Radium to the World,

N'S
From THE New Element Radium,"
by Ernest Merritt in 1.-THE January Gem
fury: The investigations which re-
suited In the detection of Becqueral
rays began soon after the discovery Of
the X-rays, n where intimately con,
nected with 1t. In the early days OF
ROentgen rays, there were many facts
which suggested that phosphorescence
had something to do with the produce
ton of these rays. 1t occurred to sew
eral French physicists that X-raya
might be produced If phosphorescent
substances were exposed to sunlight In
stead of to the electrical action of a
Crookes tube. Professor Henri Bec>
querel of the University Of Paris I'M
dertook experiments to test this sup,
position as early as 1896, only a few
months after X-rays had been discov-
cred. Among the substances used in
these experiments was one containing
the metal uranium. This was placed
upon a Photographic plate, which had
first been wrapped in black paper in
order to protect it from the light. Aft
er the plate had stood in bright sun,
light for several hours, it was removed
from It's paper covering and developed.
A Sigh trace of Photographic action
vas found at those parts Of the plato
directly beneath the uranium, just as
Becqueral had expected. 1t was clear
that rays Of some kind were being pro-
duced that were capable of passing
through black paper. Since the X-rays
were the only ones then known to pos
sess this power, It seemed as though
the problem of producing X-rays by
sunlight was solved.
Then came the fortunate accident
After several plates lac been prepared
for exposure to sunlight, a storm am
up, and the experiments had to be
postponed for several days. When the
work was resumed the plates had been
lying in the dark room SO long that
they might easily have d~eteriorated in
some way, so that 1t seemed hardly
safe to use them. But, instead of sim
ply throwing the plates away, Bee
querel fortunately developed them,
thinking that some action might pos
result was that he obtained better pic
to sunlight, which had been regarded
mer experiments, had really had MOTH
ing at all to do with the matter. The
essential thing was the presence OF
uranium; and the Photographic effects
were not due to X-rays, but to Bee
querel rays. There were many long
and difficultsteps to take before even
our present incomplete knowledge Of
the subject could be reached; but this
fortunate accident was the beginning
Of the long series Of experiments which
have already led to the discovery Of the
new element radium, and which bid
fair to revolutionize some Of the most
fundamental conceptions Of physics
chemistry.

How Radium Is Extracted.

Western Electrician: In spite OF the
fact hat radium has been SO widely
discussed, probably few people are ac-
qnainted with the method by which it
is secured in the minute quantities that
are as yet available.
THAT the element Is obtained from
pitchblende is generally known, but
some details Of the exact process will
be of interest. According to the Lam
Get, operations for the extraction are
commenced by crushing the pitch
blende, and then roasting the powder
with carbonate of soda. After washing,
the residue is treated with dilute sui
phuric acid; hen the sulphates are
converted into carbonates by boiling
with strong carbonate Of soda. The
residue contains radium sulphate,
which is an exceedingly insoluble salt.
The soluble sulpllates are washed out,
and the residue or insoluble portion Is
easily acted upon by hydrochloric acid
which takes out, among other things,
polenium and actinium. Radium sui
phate remains unattached, associated
with some barium sulphate. The sui
pilates are then converted into carbon
ates by treatment with a boiling
strong solution Of carbonate Of soda.
The carbonates Of barium and radium
are next dissolved in hydrochloric acid
and precipitated again as sulphates by
means of sulphuric acid. The sulphates
are further purified and ultimately con-
verified into Chords, until about fifteen
pounds Of barium and radium Chord
are obtained by acting upon on ton Of
crushed pitchblende. Only a small frac-
ton Of this mixed Chord is pure
radium Chord, which is finally
separated from barium chlorid
by capitalization, the CRYSTALS
