Radium.Bearing Earth in Louisiana.

Radium-Bearing Earth in Louisiana.
What is declared to be the richest
notwithstanding earth in the world has
been discovered in the Ilano gold and
coal fields, 115 miles north of this
city. Rumors of the discovery of
earth bearing a large piece of radium
in the Ilano have been persistent for
some time, and to-day these rumors
were verified by the return of party
of scientists who had visited the mine
to investigate the report. These gen
tlemen say that the Ilano earth will
produce larger percentage of radium
than that of any other known deposit.

MILLIoNs SAVED TO GOVERN.
MENT.
Gains 100000 Hours Annually by
Making Clerks Work Seven Hours.


Making Clerks Work Seven Hours.
A net gain to the government Of
100000 hours of labor per year is
figured to be one Of the results of the
order just issued which keeps the
clerks in the various government de-
partments at Washington at work I'M
til 4.30 o'clock each afternoon instead
Of Diminishing them at o'clock. as
has been the custom.
This order was issued at the in
stance of the house committee on APP
preparations, of which Colonel Living
5ton is one of the most active mem
bers. The constant requests of de-
partment heads for more clerical help
led to the committee insisting that
the law, which calls for seven full
hours work, should be enforced.
Heretofore the days work has nom
inaly covered seven hours, but each
clerk has been allowed half an hour
for luncheon.
The change has caused a howl on
the part of the greater portion of
the clerical army, though in some de-
partments and with a good many of
the best clerks it will make no differ
ence, as these have been used to
working overtime. These 100000
hours mean approximately 100000
of service annually. About 100000
clerks are affected and the change is
figured to be equivalent to the addi-
ton of 7,143 clerks.
The change necessitates a revolu-
ton in many directions. Suburban
train schedules will have to be
changed after Monday. the afternoon
classes at local colleges and lnstitu-
tons OF various kinds attended by
clerks must be modified and business
houses will have to keep open later.
Time clerks secure in their positions
by the civil service are making loud
kicks and some are predicting that
the government win derive no benefit
from the change. as clerks will be
able to so shape their work that
they will do no more than they have
done under the old regime.-Atlanta
Constitution.

WATERING CELERY PLANTS

My rule for watering the celery
plants, after the boards are in place
Tor blanching, is whenever the soil is
dry. The watering is done from the
outside, along the bottom of the
boards, and the plants are soaked; no
'sprinkling. Care is used that but lit
Tie water gets among the tops, which
would cause them to rot. Several
times during the blanching period
liquid manure is poured to the plants
in the same way as the water and the
results will be the same.

A MRS. EDDY's Jos
Mrs. Stetson Ambitious to suecee,
Christian Science Leader.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE big, hand
some marble building on Central Park
west and West Ninety-stxth streets
the home of the First Church OF Christ
Scientist, is In a state OF practica
siege, and may soon become the OBJ.
ject of an attack in the courts. NO
body is allowed 10 penetrate into the
halls of the church, except those whose
presence is agreeable to the former
first reader, Mrs. Augusta r.. Stetson
whose efforts during sixteen years re.
suited in the erection of the spiendle
edifice.
The reason for the edict is the de.
clared hostility that exists between two
factions in the church, one OF which IL
opposed to what II terms the autocratit
rule of Mrs. Stetson, although she Is
no longer the nominal head. Miss
Laura Lyman is the present first read
er, the title OF the teacher or pastor OF
the church. Recently she declared from
the rostrum: Il am here TO do Whal
Mrs. Stetson tells me to do" This an
nouncement hardly allayed the discon-
tent in the congregation, and the ap.
proach of the annual business meeting
of the trustees, 1t is expected, VIII brins
q elimination OF the trouble, If. indeed
the placing of the guard In the build.
ing does not p~recipitate ii. a mem
Der not in harmony with Mrs. Stetsor
said today that a test case might be
made, and If admittance was refusej
q member in good standing the affair
would be taken to court.
Back of the dispute, 1t is claimed By
the minority, is the ambition Of Mrs
Stetson to succeed Elizabeth Baker
Eddy as head of the whole church. In
the first church in this city h makes
no secret of her rule. She controls a
powerful faction that could be brought
into play in a struggle for supremacy
power. Speaking of the sitaution, a
leading member OF the minority said
today: Mrs. Stetson has been, and Is
still, building up a powerful faction
In the church as her personal following,
How this will affect the church In the
event Of Mrs. Eddys passing on with
out appointing her successor l cannot
say. If the selection Is put to a vote
q factor i'm the election VIII be the for
mer students under Mrs. Stetson. Nc
member of the minority faction in our
church objects to the love and venera-
ton hat are due Mrs. Stetson for her
work. But IL she should attempt &c
use her following for any purpose not
entirely within the tenets of the church
or of Christianity there will be a strong
protest"
