IN The REALM
OF SCIENCE
SOME OF THE WONDERFUL
THINGS RADIUM WILL DO.
PRINCE TARkHANOV S
Lecture on the Subject-Dr. Hills
Declaration That Negroes Can
Be Whitened.
PRINCE TARKHANOV S

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2S.-Prof.
Prince Tarkhanov, the well-known
scientist, lecturing recently before
the Military Association, made some
interesting statements in regard to
the possibilities Of radium. He pre-
sented to his audience two cancer pa
tients who had been cured Of malig-
nant growths of the face by the use
of radium. He said the problem of
determining the sex of child, which
Professor Schenck had failed to solve
will shortly be settled by the aid of
radium. The prince added that he
had prevented the development Of
hydrophobia in dogs inoculated with
rabid virus by using radium.
When alrge quantities of radium
were available the prince contended
the whole system of modern warfare
would be revolutionized, as powder
magazines, whether in forts or in the
holds Of vessels. would be at the mer-
cy of radium rays, which could ex-
pIode lueHl dJ long u1SldHce.
Red Actinic Rays
South Bend, Ind, Jan. 2S.-Dr. J.
w Hill, local practitioner, declares
that the use of red actinic rays will
prevent the reversion of infants born
Of negro parents to the parent type.
According to DR.. Ifill. tlle- negro s
skin IS more sensitive than that Of
any other human being, and for that
reason more pigment is thrown out
to protect him under the climatic con
ditions in which his forefathers were
born. BY preventing pigmentation,
Dir. Hill says, children Of negro par
ents, which are generally born white,
turning darker under the suns rays,
will become even winter than the
Caucasian race.
DR.. Hill has secured apartments at
one of the local hospitals to put his
experiment into operation, and ex-
poets to begin his scientific work
within a few weeks The room will
be In red. Walls, ceilings, furniture
and flooring will be of that color.

ANTI-TOXIN
A Quietus Put on Some of the Talk
by Local Druggist.

To the Editor of the Palladium:
Sir: Owing to the recent wide
spread newspaper discussion of the
so called "death trust' of antitox-
Inc manufacturers, the public may be
interested to know that the price of
Antitoxine has in reality been re-
duced. Antitoxine was originally
made in two strengths, a "Stan-
dard and a Concentrated; the
latter being twice as strong and nat
urally twice as expensive. For a
short time both were used but the
physicians soon found that it was
unwise to use any but Concentrate
ed.
As a result of this action Of the
Richmond daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1876-1904, 1904-01-29

physicians the manufacturers have
ceased making the Standard y
strength but have actually lowered
the price of the Concentrated. -
The strength of antitoxine is ex-
pressed in minimizing units and the
following table shows the actual con-
dition of affairs:
1000 units Concentrated, old
price 1925; new price, 5000 1000
units, old price, $500; new price,
$3.50. 5000 units, old price, 1915;
new price, $500 1000 units, old
price, $3.50; new price, $3.50.
This is an average reduction of
1919 per cent in price and the Anti
toxine is now furnished in safer and
more convenient packages.
Respectfully,
w. H. Ross Drug Co.

COLD WAVE EAST
And the Trains From That Direction
Are ALI Late.

The cold wave that has been IN the
north for the past week has swept
around to Pennsylvania and eastern
Ohio and is causing much disarrange-
ment of schedules The through
trains from New York and Washing
ton that have been running fairly
we'll for a while were all late today
on account of the severe cold and
and snow and through passengers
were put to a great deal of discom-
fort Nearly all connections were
missed No. 25, due here at 4:37 was
seven hours late, No. 81, due here at
1910 a. m. was three hours late and
No. 25, due here at 4 :45 was six
hours and thirty minutes late The
trains from the north and west are
running on nearly their usual sched-
ule. 1t is probable, however, that
the trains will be late to a greater
or less degree for the remainder of

FIRST FREIGHT
Over the c.. c.. & L. Causes
Great Rejoicing.

Okeana, o., Jan 29.-There was
great excitement here when the first
regular freight train passed over the
c., G. & L. railroad 1t was a treat
for the natives and they hailed it
with as much delight as a tramp
does a good dinner.
The train was made up Of eigh-
teen cars loaded with fruit jars en-
route to Cincinnati. Passenger serv-
ice will be started within the next
two weeks

K Very respectfully,
"Valentine Winters. ,

IF the c., G. & r. project becomes a
reality, and there is no doubt but that
it will, it is the intention to ask that
company to participate in the cost of
the erection of the pavilion. In that
case the cost will be lessened.
While no definite estimate Of the
cost has been made, it is roughly es-
timated that it will range somewhere
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The building proper should prob
ably seat about $500 people. A
ground floor is suggested, partly to
curtail the initial expense, and also
because it prevents the noise that is
bound to arise if the floor is of wood.
Later on, if desired, a cement floor
can be put IN. The building, accord
ing to this suggestion, will be about
sixty feet by one hundred and
twenty, and will have a good stage
and rooms on each side, beside bust
ness quarters.
The committee expects to present
all the information it has at hand
to the council next Monday evening.
1t is suggested the three traction
companies should contribute about
$4,000 TO the project, and if the c..
G. & r. comes in this would be

CAUSE FOR DIVORCE

Jacob Beeler is applying for di-
vorce at Kokomo from his wife,
Serepta, claiming she has not treated
him right. One of the things he
charges against her is that she said
she would rather live with a negro
than a Dutchrnan. He is supposed to
represent the Dutchman, and, of
course, does not like such doubtful
compliment. - Elwood Call-Leader.

PERSONALITY
AMERICAN AUTHORS
Divided Them Into Four Distinct
Glasses and Gave Reasons For
So Doing.

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock
DR.. A. E. Winship delivered most
interesting lecture at high school
hall to large audience Of teachers
and citizens. His subject was "The
Personality of American Authors
DR.. Winship is a strong man on the
platform and a great educator. He
spends the greater portion if his time
travelling over the country, delivering
educational lectures In the larger
cities and is in great demand DR..
Winship has many warm friends in
Richmond who are always glad to see
and hear him.
He spoke very highly at the begin
ming of his lecture of DIR. Royce, of
Harvard, who is to speak at high
school hall on next Thursday after
noon. He called him the cleanest cut
philosopher of his time, one of the
greatest popular lecturers now on the
platform, fascinating in his style and
manner
He stated that it might seem
strange that he did not appear with
a strictly pedagogical lecture, but
that he wished to depart little from
the usual order and convey If possible
to those present a deeper meaning of
the lives Of the great men of litera-
ture.
He said he would have the boys and
girls like the better reading all
through their lives, and deplored the
fact that while in school and college
young people read something worth
while, but on leaving college, very
seldom continue the habit of such
reading.
He regards it the special duty of
teachers and parents to look well to
the kind Of reading habits formed by
our boys and girls.
In speaking of our American au-
thors he makes the following classi-
fcation:
ID Great authors, (2) those who
might have been great (3) those who
may be great and (4) those who will
not be great Under the first head he
placed Irving, Cooper and Bryant,
three Of the earlier writer's then a
group of five remarkable men, .espec-
tally interesting because they We're all
born within six years Of each other;
namely, Emerson, Hawthorne, Whittier
Longfellow and Holmes In the sec
ond class he placed N. p Willis, j. G.
Holland and E. P Whipple.
Those whom he thought may be
great are Walt Whitman, Edgar A.
Poe, Sidney Lanier and Eugene Field.
The speaker gave many reasons
why he regards this a proper classi-
fcation of these men, and showed es-
pecially why the last named will
hardly occupy place among the au-
thos of fame.
He said that teachers of literature
will not succeed in the greatest meas
ure who teach that all the good men
are dead. There is much of sterling
worth to be obtained from the writ
ings of authors now living After
speaking of these authors and quoting
at length from their writings he
turned to Longfellow and related in a
most interesting manner many unre-
corded incidents in the life of Amer
ica's greatest poet.

raised still more. It is felt that the
city can then pay the remainder with
out imposing hardship upon itself.
John M. Lontz, the assistant secre-
tary of the Richmond Street & Inter
urban Railway company, is not only
interested in the company, but also IN
the city, and will do what he can to
see that his company takes favorable
action upon the matter.

CHRISTIAN UNITY.
Address Before Churchmen's League by
Prominent Christian Worker.


BY invitation from the Churchmen'
League, Robert e. Speer, a prominent
Christian worker among young men, ad-
dressed large audience last evening at
Epiphany Church Mr.. Spees had for his
theme christian Unity viewed from q
missionary standpoint.
The speaker began by stating that the
missionary enterprise contemplated the
changing of opinions, deepest convictions,
character Of great multitudes and the refor-
nation of institutions and of the various
races by moral and persuasive methods.
He pointed out that impurity. inequality
and hopeleSsness were the three distinct
classes of evil to be fought, and that Christ
was the cure for each and every one or
them.
Activity" he said, united unity. The
aim of every denomination Is to establish
self-supporting, self-propagaung and self
governing bodies in every nation. The
trinity and the incarnation are the great
fundamental truths held by all Christian
bodies and find an adequate basis for conf
radeship. If there could not be perfect
unity there should not be cooperation.
The spirit Of unity in he foreign field aids
wonderfully in the unifcation Of our home
forces
The address delivered last night is one
of the series now being given under the
auspices Of the Churchmens League and
have for their purpose the worthy object
OF extending aid and instruction to young
men along Christian lines.
