RADIUM CLOCK is DEVISED.
Englishman Constructs Curious Time
piece Which 1t Is Expected
Will Run 80, 900 Years.

Harrison Martindale, an English
man, has constructed a radium clock.
which will keep time indefinitely.
The clock comprises small tube, in
which is placed a minute quantity Of
radium supported in an exhausted
glass vessel by quartz rod. To the
lower end of the tube, which Is colored
violet by the action of the radium, an
electroscope formed of two long leaves
or stripes OF silver is attached.
A charge of electricity in which there
are no beta rays is transmitted through
the activity of the radium into the
leaves. and the latter thereby expand
until they touch the sides of the vessel,
connected to earth by wires, which in
stantly conduct the electric charge, and
the leaves fall together.
This simple operation is repeated in
cessantly every two minutes until the
radium is exhausted, which in this
instance it is computed will occupy 3d.
900 years.

BIG SALARY PAID WOMAN.
Superintendent of Indian Schools
Draws $4,000 a Year Outside
Of Her Expenses.

Some Il the best paid employees OF
the government in Washington are
women, declares the Philadelphia
Press. So far as wages are concerned.
Uncle Sam recognizes no distinction of
sex, and in some branches of the pub
lie service persons in petticoats, owing
to their superior aptitude for certain
kinds of work. have entirely driven
out the men, who are unable to COM
pete with them.
The highest salary paid by the gov
eminent to woman is drawn by Miss
Estelle Reel, who is superintendent C.
all the Indian schools. She is re-
markable woman, and the supervision
which she exercises over the rising
generation of the nations wards has
already revolutionized, to a great ex-
tent. the system OF management
adopted.
Miss Reel gets $4,000 a year, plus
her expenses, the latter being a con-
siderable item, inasmuch as she spends
most of her time in travelling about
from one school to another, utilizing
almost every known means of trans
portation, and when stage coaches fail,
frequently riding on horseback for
hundreds of miles.

Out Of One Dollars Worth of Material
Distillers Turn Out Forty
Gallons of Whisky.

It is not generally known, according
to the Kansas City Journal, that con-
siderable moonshine whisky is made
in Southwest Missouri. Detective
James Rosche of Carthage has arrest
ed several proprietors of Illicit stills
recently Mr. Rosche says that Mis-
souri, moonshiners make big profits as
long as Uncle Sam lets them alone. He
says they take one gallon of cheap,
black molasses, which costs about 30
cents two bushels of meal, at an av-
eraeg cost of 65 cents per bushel, and
some water This is made into a mash,
allowed to ferment and the stuff then
goes through the process of evapora-
ton.
This amount of molasses and meal,
with a sufficient amount of water add
ed, makes 40 gallons of moonshine,
which is sold for two dollars per gal
Ion. The men who engage in the IL
licit (distilling Of whisky are usually
of the more ignorant class. That is.
they are uneducated, but what they
lack in boo, learning they make up in
shrewdness that cannot be learned in
school, Most of the men engaged in
their business are desperate fellows
and do not hesitate to defend their lib
erty with the use Of guns.

SPEAK ONLY FRENCH THERE
Natives of a Part of Louisiana Are
Very Ignorant of the Eng
ish Language.

Congressman Broussard of Louisiana
Is, as his name indicates, of French
descent. He never spokeNEnglish until
he went to George avn university, at
is curious" said Mr. Broussard. "how
the French language has remained the
dominant tongue in my part of the
country.

Scotia in the eighteenth century, it
prevails to-day, and | believe always
will. Curiously enough. you will find
plenty of men in my district with such
Enthusiastically English names as Jones

speech | ever heard from human lips
It knows no grammar but 1t is the
very essence of euphony and melody"

HUMBUG IN LITERARY WORLD
Asks for Check of Big Magazine with
Intention of Keeping
Up a Bluff.

"The greatest buffer in the literary
game that | ever heard of. said a man
employed in the counting room of a big
magazine. to a New York Sun reporter,
was a fellow who probably never
wrote a line in his life. but he had
some reason for wanting to make some
friends think that he was a regular
contributor.
He came into our office and offered
us a $50 bill and asked if we would let
him have tAe concerns check for that
amount He showed us the check of
one other magazine which he had al
ready secured. When asked what he
wanted the check for he made no bones
Of explaining that he wanted to show it
to two or three friends to make them
think that the check was in payment
for a story. My house declined to ac-
commodate him.
I'VE did ask him, however, how he
would keep up the bluff if one Of his
friends happened to ask him to show
his story in the magazine He said
that would be easy, as he would de-
clare that he was writing over nom
de plume"

Music is considered by military men
to be the best possible means to en-
hearten dispirited soldiers. A band
has often saved a battle. But the Fill
ipinos lost fight by setting their band
into operation.
An American company was besieged
in its barracks, standing off the attack
of several hundred of Filipinos, FL

his band to turn itself loose, which 1t
did. with some Spanish airs. Mean

Suddenly the native band men burst
out with an American piece that they

With yell and a howl they burst
