SOLDIERS ON SNOWSHOEs.
Canadian Regiments Successful

Regimental night trampS on snow
shoes have been started by the Forty

places in heavy drifts beyond the Ri

the timber, but the men made good
time and did their work well.
Every efficient man in the regiment
will be thoroughly fitted for winter

RADIUM CAUSES MOTION.
Burious Apparatus to illustrate
Quality of the Element.

Professor George B. Pegram of Co
lumbia university, in New York, has
improved a tiny device invented by an
other exper1menter named Strut which
illustrates some of the peculiarities OF
radium, says the New York Tribune.
Among the different rays emitted by
that substance one group is positively
electrified and the other negatively BY
suspending a delicate gold pendulum
in a glass vessel from which the air
has been removed it is possible to
bring the metal alternately under the
influence Of these rays and produce an
oscillation. The action in Struts ap-
paratus was slow, but Professor Pc
gram is able to obtain more frequent
swings In a given time. The amount
of power developed is microscopic. The
instrument cannot be utilized, except
for educational purposes, but 1t IS an
interesting scientific curiosity. Though
Professor Pegram is careful to avoid
saying that it will run forever, he
thinks it should continue as long as the
store of energy in the radium holds out.

Creating New Fruits,

II IS the ..,,v.dtory worker who IS
coming to the front now as the creator
of new fruits, says a writer In the
Worlds Work. When the cold winds
from the north destroyed the citrus
industry Of Florida, work was under
taken at once by the national govern
ment to secure an orange which should
be more hardy than any now of the
east. AS far north as Philadelphia Is
a small. hardy japanese orange which
is only suitable for ornamental pur-
poses and which bears a fruit the size
Of a walnut Here was the hardness
BY using this plant as the mother and
the tender sweet orange of Florida as
the father, and vice versa, hybrids have
been produced which partake of the
characteristics of both. These hybrids
are now beginning to fruit for the first
time. They are, of course, not so hardy
as the hardy mother, but are much
more hardy than the sweet orange, the
other parent The fruit secured has
some of the characteristics Of a lemon,
but is valuable for marmalades and
other purposes, and unquestionably can
be grown in every back yard in the
south.

FIREPROOF STAGE DRESSES
Chicago Theatre Disaster Leads
to Precautions Abroad.

One result Of the IroQuois theatvr
disaster in Chicago Is that the scenery,
dresses and accessories of the Alham-
bra ballet in London, recently pro-
duced, are thoroughly fireproof, says
the Chicago Record Herald. An eXper-
iment showed that the ballet dancers
skirts, apparently consisting of the
fimslest material, would not burn even
when exposed to Il powerful gas flame.
Since the fire Of the Iroquols theater
in Chicago the authorities of Milan
have adopted measures for the safety
Of the patrons of the great theater of
La Scala, one of the largest and most
ancient in the world. Every evening
as soon as the performance is over and
also between the acts all the emergen-
cy exits are thrown open. and the pub
lie is made to go out by them. The eX-
pertinent so far has been successful,
and the great theater has been emptied
in q few minutes.

NEGRO AND WIFE BURNED.
They Were Charged With Killing
a White Planter.

A Doddsvile, Miss, dispatch says
Luther Holbert and his wife, negroes,
were burned at the stake there Thurs
dav by a mob of over 1000 persons for
the killing of James Eastland, a prom
inent white planter, and John Carr, a
negro, two miles from that city.
The burning of Holbert and his wife
closes tragedy which has cost eight
lives, has engaged two hundred men
and two packs OF track hounds in
four DAYS chase across four counties
and has stirred that section OF Missis-
sippi to such state of excitement as
it has never before experienced in its
history.
The chase, which was begun last
Wednesday morning, was continued
until 3 o'clock Sunday morning, when
Holbert and his wife, worn out from
travelling over one hundred miles on
foot through canebrakes and swamps,
where found asleep in a heavy belt OF
timber three miles east Of Shepherds
town and captured by posse without
shot being fired.

CATTLE TO MARKET ON SLED
Dakota Farmer Saves Loss of
Flesh by Simple Means.

]. S. Garothun. a successful farmer
and stock raiser living in Moody coun-
ty, north of Sioux Falls, S. D., has in
vented an ingenious device for market
ing his cattle, says the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.
He mas constructed a strong pen
about - by q feet in size and 3 feet
high. This he fastened on sled run
ners at each end. There is a gate
through which the animals may be
driven upon the platform. Horses are
hitched to this moving fence, or corral,
and his cattle are marketed in this
manner.
The advantage is that they can be
transferred from his feeding pens to
the market point with less fatigue than
if they were driven overland, thus
keeping them in better condition and
making them easier to handle.

in a railroad station waiting for a
train, and while he waited he chewed
tobacco and spat on the station wall.

SKILLED LABOR NOT NEEDED
Welding Broken Shaft May Be Done
by inexperienced Hands II
Thermite Succeeds.

Welding a broken shaft, or even the
ends Of rails on trolley lines, Is consid-
cred Of sufficient Importance to require
experts at the head Of the work, but II
the new welding material, thermite,
fulfills all that is promised, unskilled
workmen may be doing this work in
the near future. The thermite rail-
welding process has already been ac-
cepted abroad, and 10000 joints have
been united by this system in 40 Euro
pean cities. The rail ends must be
cleaned from dust and rust by a wire
brush, and then slightly warmed. A
mold Is then fitted around the ends and
the thermite is heated in crucible dr.
rectly above the entrance to the mold,
into which It flows as soon as the tenn
perature rises to the melting point. The
welding is done automatically by the
thermite itself, and thus the supervis-
ion Of an expert welder Is not required.
In welding heavy shaft the mold Is
built up around II and the heat applied
to the crucible as before, process
which might save valuable time on board
ships.
