A few days ago Prof. L. r. VOL
colt of the State School of Mines at
Golden examined the waters at Glen
wood Springs to find out whether they
contained radium. He lectured at
that place on the subject and here is
what the Post says regarding his ex.
animation and lecture; Il have never
seen water so strongly radioactive
Since the discovery of radiun 1 have
given special attention to radio active
water and have examined much of it..
II find the water here IS so strongly
radioactive that it requires an area
but % times as great as a given area
of uranium to be equally as strong.
Every indication. too. pointed to
the presence of radium as the sctive
agent in producing this radioactive

Que of the Best.

The Four Cohans. with their spec.

ming For Office. - did not disapuoint
in the least last night the splendid
audience that gathered at the Park
opera house. their appetites whetted
to witness sonnet hing that has had
phenomenal success everywhere it has
played.
An audience has somewhat to do
with the character of any production.
almost any player would hav done his
best last night The audience was in
a most receptive mood and was willing
to be pleased on the very slightest
pretext. That it was more than pleas
ed was evident from the smiles of sat
isfaction and that air of well it was
worth seeing in1eed' that animated
the countenances of the audience as
they retired from the opera house.
The comedy simply gave opportun-
ity for some very clever characters to
show their ability. in comicai situa-
tions. The Four Cohans were most
pleasing in every part they took.
The election of a mayor for Tiger
town. whose official head at the time
of the election was Andrew Riley.
and whose ambition for the succession
to the mayorality was being contested
by John Tiger who was sailing under
the banner of prohibition. and whose
platform was closed town, afforded
the scenes of the play.
The hustings, torchlight parades
with the enhancing figures of a splen-
did chorus of Young girls, in the
marching order. with the country fife
and drum corps. added the zest to the
comedy to make it racy and rich.
The interminable tangles in which
the principal characters were gotten,
as a result of desire upon the part
of John Tiger wido wer, newly mar
ried and his handsome wife Mrs. John
Tiger, to hide the fact of having Off
spring, in the persons of a handsome
son and daughter respectively. each
attending boarding school. were
amusing bevond measure.
Equally rich were the characters
of Sam Gayland. proprietor of the
Gayland house principal hostelrie of
Tigerville and Peter Pinchem taken
by William Keough and John Keefe,
these shared honors with the Cohans
With the comedy in full tilt and the
choruses marching and countermarch
ing with beautiful costuming and first
class singing the Cohans won their
way into the unanimous good graces
of Grand Junction people.

craw1s ashore and lays eggs like tur-
tie or a lizard.
They add further strange state
ment; it is that this wonderful beast
has mighty jaws, long and slender,
armed with saw-like teeth.
Only few years ago science would
have dismissed the story as mad
fable. But to-day SO many strange
stories have been proven true that
biologists are not i'll a hurry to dis
credit this one.
With Sir Harry Johnston discover
ing the okapi, which turns out to be
a creature that was thought to have
died out before the dawn of history;
with men searching in Madagascar
for the giant bird aepyornis, also dis
missed years ago as being an extinct
monster; with the growing belief that
form of prehistoric giant sloth is
alive in South America, men of science
are almost ready to believe that the
waitoreke may turn out to be living
survivor of some form of prehistoric
k-ar1imal-some link between beasts
and reptiles.
The description of the long, slen-
der, terrible snout with a saw-like
teeth makes them think of the long,
slender shouts of the ichthyosaurus.
The fact that this waitoreke of the
story lays eggs adds to the resem-
blance.

biologists all over the

for the answer to either or both of
these questions. If there is such a
thing, it is the most wonderful beast

the duck-bill, the four-footed, egg-lay-

about it come from the folk of interior
New Zealand.
New Zealand is such wonder land
of animals and reptiles and birds to-
day, and has been such a wonder land
of them in the past, that the scientific
world is ready to believe that the
waitoreke really exists there, and ex-
plorers are hunting for it now.
The New Zealand natives declare
that it is mammal that dwells in the
water. It's home is said to be in the
deep mountain lakes and, unlike such
water-loving mammals as the otter or
the seal, it swins in the water like a
fish, and goes ashore only for very
short periods.
But, say these natives, it is in no
way like seal. It has no webbed

Some Curious
Sea Occupations

FEW YORkS great maritime
nj business has given rise to
u many queer sea occupations
One of these is the bust
ness of acting as life savers for the
big excursion boats and barges.
Owing to the crowds on these craft,
there always is danger that someone
will fall overheard and drown before
the big vessels can be stopped. Hence
it has become the practice to tow
rowboat astern. In this sits strong
swimmer, who is clad lightly so that
he can act instantly. If any one falls
overheard, he casts off the slip knot
that holds his craft to the big boat,
and in a moment is off to the rescue.
Most of these life savers own their
own boats. They are generally beau
tiful craft, capable of riding any sea
and extremely swift.
The same type of rowboat is used
by the Whitehall boatmen, whose
business it is to row down to meet in
coming ships, take the hawser from
them and carry it to the tugboats that
are to tow them up. Whenever
steamship docks at New York, one or
more of these boatmen keeps his little
boat darting here and there between
ship and pier, or ship and tugboat, car
rying the hawsers. 1t is much quicker
and safer than attempting to throw
the huge ropes, and the business is a
profitable one The men often row
from ten to fifteen miles in all kinds
of weather to meet ship.
Another occupation that the owner
of small rowboats follow in the har-
Dor is that of dredging up lost articles.
If ship loses an anchor or anchor
cable, these men pounce on the spot
and throw out big graphing irons.
Then they row up and down over the
grounds until they succeed in catching
it. They are wonderfully expert both
at finding a location where something
has been lost and at feeling the slight
est touch of the graphing iron when
it slides over the sought for object.
1t happens with regularity that a
passenger, in hurry to get aboard
ship or leave it, drops his valise or
other luggage overheard. AS the stuff
usually is heavy enough to sink imme
diately, the grappler is in great de
mand, and he appears on the scene
with surprising promptness, as it he
could scent the need for his services.
Often the recovered luggage is va1u
able enough to assure this queer fish
erman fat reward.

Queer Trees

the trunk OF the tree were smoking
chimney.
The phenomenon is caused by an
emanation which the tree gives out
under the effects of sunlight.
In Ceylon grows tree called Ewes
Apple Tree" 1t is the fruit of this
tree which makes it remarkable, 1t
is a beautiful fruit to look at, deep
red on the inside and orange on the
outside, and out of each fruit piece
appears to have been bitten.
The stimulation of fruit which has
recently been bitten into is perfect.
You can see the very marks of the
teeth, and any one not knowing the
facts would be deceived.
For this reason, and because the
fruit is deadly poison, the natives de-
clare that the tree is that which grew
in the Garden of Eden and was called
the Tree of the knowledge of Good
and Evil.
After Eve ate of the fruit, and thus
brought death and sin into the world,
the fruit assumed the appearance it
has now, as a perpetual reminder of
her rash and disobedient act.

A n tree, of Nubia. When the
winds blow over this tree it
gives out fute-like sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies.
1t is the spirits of the dead singing
among the branches, the natives say;
but the scientific white man says that
the sounds are due to myriad of
small holes which an insect bores in
the spines of the branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary
Islands is another arboreal freak. This

natives gather UP the water from the
