The Radium Atom.

Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, the English physicist, contends that radium has not upset received scientific doctrines. He says that those who thought it was an ineXhaustible store of energy, or was generating energy afresh which had not previously existed, were mis- taken. The radium atom had in it a large store of energy, just as the sun had. If they could see radum atoms they would find them, as rule, as quiet as any other atoms; only one ih million would be seen to be, as it were, smashing up. throwing off bits of itself, and the whole property of ra- dium depended upon that. Everything material was in state of fluX-there was birth, culmination and decay; and this was characteristic of the mate rial universe-a universe which must have had an origin. The birth of mat ter as well as the death of matter was what they were now looking for.

TAKE A MOLD OF THE BODY.
New Measuring Apparatus Designed
 by Scientists.


 by Scientists.
 A new measuring apparatus, the object of which is to take mold of the body, especially of the vertebral col umn and the thoraX, has been devised by French scientist, M. G. Demeny. This invention, which is particularly adapted to the use of orthopedic phy. sicians, consists of a series of strips of wood, movable around an axis which may be fixed upon frame or even upon the back of the subject. The ends of these strips are brought into contact with the body and after ward rendered immovable by clamps. The axis is then detached in order that the sinuous contours made by the ends of the strips and representing the form of the body may be taken upon paper. The strips are capable of revolving around their axis and of thus molding themselves upon the sinuosities of the spinal column defected by curvatures.
 The instrument permits also of pre- serving a record of the form of the rachis as accurate as a genuine mold ing. With this object in view, M. Demeny employs strips of wood cov- cred with a thin layer of dry glue. After making the measuration he moist ems the strips with warm water, which causes them to stick together and thus preserve their respective positions, and constitute, after drying, a block ex- actly representing the contour desired.
 With two apparatus held parallel one may obtain the form and vertical section of the trunk of the anterior, posterior and lateral profiles of the body. For obtaining horizontal sec ton of the thoraX there are employed four rods provided with strips so ar ranged as to form a frame into which the subject to be measured is intro- duced.
 The apparatus folds together, and, since it represents no projection, may be arranged along the wall without occupying any more space than an artists easel.-Philadelphi Record.

Why Fruit Trees Fail.

Country Life in America points out that the dropping off "t young fruit is not due to insect pests, as it is popu- larly supposed. More often 1t is be- cause of the fact that many varieties of fruits are self-sterile and the blos- sons require the contact of the pollen of other varieties before they will ma. ture fruit. Not getting this pollen, many fruit trees do not bear at all or very much. The same trees treated by the methods of grafting and planting will often bear large fruit and plenty of 1t.

Fifty Men and One Elephant.

Interesting tests were made re- gently in the Madison Square Garden, New York, to determine the respective pulling power of horses, men and ele- plants. Two horses, weighing 1900 pounds each, together pulled 3,TO0 pounds, or $50 pounds more than their combined weight One elephant weigh ing 12,000 pounds, pulled S,750 pounds, or 3,250 pounds less than his weight Fifty men, aggregating about 7,5OO pounds in weight, pulled S,750 pounds, or just as much as the single elephant. But, like the horses, they pulled more than their own weight. One hundred men pulled 12.O0O pounds.

"A minister in this city as prominent
as there is in the land reads his

they say, was born of the Virgin Mary
and Jesus Christ, who. they say, was
raised after the third, day.
mo wonder men find an excuse for
easy virtue when ministers ordained of
God insert they say in the apostles
creed. We are living in a time of finan-

men. And there has come change
over our ministers which makes the
people suspicious of their honesty.

Cleveland Politics Obnoxious.
The election of Tom johnson as
mayor of Cleveland was a thorn IN the
side OF the late Senator Hanna. II
was often thrown in his face, by his CO.
workers. who sometimes rebelled at
his criticisms. 1t was expected of Mr..
Hanna that he would keep his own city
in line and he was frequently reminded
Of this.
But Tom johnson has given Cleve-
land good government. Graft is no
longer the rule, it is the exception. Inc
municipal government of Cleveland
was VIGOROUSLY rotten, known to be 50,
that is just why the republicans OF
Cleveland arose in their might and
overthrew It, They didn't care what
Tom Johnson was called; they had
faith in the mans executive ability ana
in his personal integrity. Woe be to
the CRATER now if Tom johnson gets OF
to him. For the first time in many
years Cleveland has clean, honest
municipal government. The people OF
Cleveland know this and appreciate it,
Just how long the spell will last no one
knows but sooner or later it is more
than probable that the hog will return
to his wallow." Eternal vigilance Is
the price of good government. The
people of Iowa know this and yet the
