A CRITICAL MOMENT.
The Daring Play That Won For the
Khedive OF Egypt.

The Daring Play That Won For the
Khedive OF Egypt.
Sir Edward ,nIa1et in Shifting Scenes
carries the reader to Egypt at stir
ring time in the history of the khedtTe
and shows how courage won the day
FOR him When the moment came for
the bombardment of Alexandria the
young khediye refused to take shelter
on board an English man-of-war. say
ing that dis lot lay with his people.
He was khedive in nothing but name,
the whole power having passed into
the hands of the rebels, and his
chances OF escnpe were hardly greater
than those Of martyr in Roman
arena before the wild beasts We're I'M
Gagged. They did not send wild beasts
to tear him, but they did send cap
tain and his company with orders 70
dispatch him.
The wit and presence of mind or the
khedive changed what was intended 60
be the supreme tragedy of the revoiu-
ton into comedy. He saw the pand
OF soldiers coming toward the palace.
When they arrived, prepared for re-
sistance and intending to break IL the
doors, they found the aidde-camp OF
the lhediye at the foot of the great
staircase. sHe met them civiily anu
told them that the khedive was expect
ing them and that he had given orders
that they should be conducted at once
to his presence. Half sobered by tue
unexpected reception, the soldiers
mounted the grand staircase and We're
ushered into the presence of the man
they had been sent to murder.
He stood alone, calm and unhurried,
in the center Of the great reception
hall. He at once addressed them. tell
ing them that he knew the errnnd on
which they had come. but that before
they carried out their instructions ne.
like every man who was condemned TO
die, had right to speak. To this they.
agreed. and he proceeded to explain
the situation with quiet good sense
that won their attention. BE told them
that in the long run the greater power
must conquer; that as matters STOOD
he had the pledge of the English to
maintain him as khedire. but that II
ne no longer existed they would be
likely to take the country for them
selves, and that therefore from patri-
otto point OF view they had better let
him live.
After discussing the matter at some
length in this strain he proceeded to
play his last card. He told the officer
in charge that he would at once raise
him in rank and confer upon him the
order OF the Med idie. With regard to
the soldiers who accompanied him, he he
would constitute them his personal
bodyEuard at that moment, as the:;
might already have perceived that ne
was very much IL want OF soldiers
Thus 1t came about that the little band
which had come to i retna n ed 81

THINKS RADIUM WILL
DECLINE III PRICE
Consul General at Frankfort Tells of
Experiments.

The tremendous price which is asked
for radium at present will probably be
lessened considerably in the future. -
says Consul General Guenther at Frank
fort. Germany. in a report TO the De-
partment OF Commerce and Labor. so
far however, IL IS an unfavorable ely
cumstance that this wonderful element
is obtained only from the uranium ores
of Bohemia. and the assertion that the
price Is artifcially screwed up by the
producers is perhaps true only Eto a
limited degree.
Prof Himstedt. of the University Of
Freiburg has continued Investigations
as TO the existence OF radium in ma
ture and has extended those formerly
made of rain water and OF the soil with
reference to the presence OF radium- He
has arrived at the conclusion that ra-
dunn occurs more frequently IN our sur
roundings than has heretofore been sus-
pected.
According to his experiments. all
natural springs Of water and also the
petroleum wells possess a heavy gas.
whose radiations are similar 10, and
probably identical with, radium.'
