Scientists Studying Radium

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Work to aid min

been begun in the Riserson Physical
Laboratory at the University of Chi
cago. Professor Robert A. Millikin,
Phi. D., known among American scien-
lists as an authority on this rare metal,
is the experimenter. The theory to the
effect hat there is growth in the life
of matter in the physical world has
been made a special study by Prof.
Millikin. He says: Studies on radi-
alton have suggested the question
whether there is any natural process
which does among the atoms what the
life process does among the molecules,
namely, which takes the simpler forms
and builds them up again into more
complex forms. The fact that radium
0 exists on the earth, taken with
the fact hat the life of radium is
short in comparison with the ages that
the earth has been in existence, GER
tainly seems to point to an affirmative
answer"

In the meantime he Is going to his
country estates, to bid farewell to rela-
tives. His status has not been fully
settled.
By the terms Of his appointment the
general will command the Manchurian
army, subject to Viceroy Alexieff, but
his powers will probably be extended
to include the troops north of Man
churia.
The official view of the status is that
Viceroy Alexieff will remain in SUI
preme command, but the viceroy being
a sailor, General Kuropatkin- will be
appointed his lieutenant for the army
as Admiral Makaroff is for the navy.
The viceroy's departure from Port
Arthur was not due to apprehension
Of the possibility of it's investment, but
simply to the requirements of the STRAIT
egical situation, SO IS to enable him
to direct the operations now in progress
along the line of the Korean frontier
from a more central point. Possibly
he will not remain at Mukden, but will
go from place to place as circumstances
demand.
Speaking on the subject of the pos
sible investment of Port Arthur, the
military authorities here do not believe
the Japanese will attempt to make a
landing in force on the Lao Tung n
insula.
The former says there is nothing the
Russians would like better. as such an
attempt is doomed to certain failure.
The authorities here assert that the
southern portion of the peninsula is
strongly guarded and that the north
ern shore presents insuperable OBJ
stacles.
The only chance of the Japanese, II
is claimed, would be marching down
from Korea, but to do this. 1t is adj
ded, they must first defeat the Rus
sian army on this side of the Yalu
river, and even If successful. they
would be face to face with an impreg-
nable stronghold.

stands that Grand Duke Alexis has
