Russian Police Discover Secret Prep

A considerable quantity Of materials
for the making Of terrorist bombs has
fallen into the hands Of the authorities.
says a ST. Petersburg special cable to
the New York American and Journal.
1t is stated that this material was sent
from Geneva in separate packets and
that the bombs were charged in st. Pc
tersburg.
The covering Of the bombs Is formed
of sheets Of white metal, and to the
bottom sheets tube is fixed, the CEN
ter of which contains two glass pipes
in the shape Of cross filled with sui
phuric acid and surrounded by other
chemicals. The hollow between the
metal sheets is filled with picrine.
At the moment the bomb is thrown
the glass tube would break and the sui
phuric acid mix with the chemicals,
which would cause flame, producing
ON contact with the picrine terrible
explosion.

RADIUM AND SNAKE BITES.
Effective I'm Destroying the Venom of
Vipers and CObras.

Effective In Destroying the Venom OF
Vipers and CObras.
A recent and most curious discovery
made in connection with the study OF
radium is It's peculiar property of de-
strOying the poisonous effect or the
venom of serpents, says Harper's
Weekly. This was ascertained In
France by Professor G. Phisalix. He
states that an exposure of from fifty
to sixty hours to the rays Of radium
is sufficient to destroy the poisonous
character Of the poison of the viper,
and the same is true of the poison Of
the cobra, which is interesting in view
of the fact that the latter poison re-
sists the action Of heat much longer.
These experiments led to others, where
the radium emanatiOn was employ
ed instead of the direct action of the
radium rays, and glass tube was
filed with a / per cent solution of
viper poison to about two-thirds it's
height. The tube was then exhausted
and filled with air containing radium
emanation, after which it wa& allowed
rCuldlu lOI LWcuty -IOuI III
the course of which time the liquid ac-
quired an opalescent luster and
strange odor.
When injected into guinea pig it
had no toxic effect, and the only
change noted was loss of weight by
the animal. BY diluting the poison
with distilled water and exposing rs
before it was found that the toXicity
disappeared in six hours, but when
glycerin was used a much longer time
was required. The opalescence men
toned is caused by suspended parti-
cles, and the conclusion reached is that
the radium emanation acts to decom-
pose albuminoid poisons. Inasmuch
as the emanation has no effect on the
poisons of the lizard or the cnx,mon
toad, it is believed that new method
has been found of studying the con-
stitution of poisons of serpents which
will enable the experimenter to dis
criminate between them.

DOOM OF LOCOMOTIVES.

Railroad Contractor Says They WIFI
BE In Scrap Heap by 1925.
"The big industrial development In
the next few years will be in electric
railway construction" said w. R
Stubs, a Kansas railroad contractor
and political leader, according to a To-
peka Kan.) dispatch. II can see 1t
coming.
Railroad traffic will be revolution
lied within twenty years. Mark this
prediction. All the big steam engines
on the standard railroads will be
scrapped, and electric engines will be
doing their work by 1925. Every town
ana hamlet in the more thickly settled
portions Of the west will be connected
with 4 network of electric lines. Rural
districts had no telephones a few years
aga, Now telephones are going into
.:@;.Hly every farmers house
The development Of interurban cleo
t.:.v railways will be just as rapid
~. : It gets under hea@way, and it is
be-, ,hi.ig-g to start. TITS means work
Tor railroad contractors, and when a
rGi.Tcal contractor is busy 1t means the
t,-at~,. BUTTON Of a vast amount OF money
for labor. know of no business where
q greater per cent of the expenses goes
for labor than in railroad work. Rail-
road building is a labor proposition
pure and simple. Therefore the more
construction going on the more prosper
Gus is labor. With the development Of
electric lines labor will be we'll en-
ployed.
81 believe that the eastern half Of
Kansas viii get it's share of these lines.
1t is thickly enough settled now to
make them profitable. The lines will
be used for not only passenger service,
but also to convey the farmers produce
to market. Persons will be riding in
Pullman cars on the electric lines Of
the west before many years."
Mr. Stubs has foundation for his
prophecy An interurban line is being
built to connect the big towns in south
eastern Kansas. Another line has been
projected to connect Wichita, Winfield
and Wellington and intermediate points.
a Kansas City-Olathe line is under
construction. A right of way has been
procured for part of the proposed Kan
sas CityTopeka line. A Topeka and
Eskridge line is almost a certainty.
Bonds have been voted to aid in its
construction by the townships and mu-
inequalities through which it purposes
to build.

CANNIBAL ALTAR.
Archaeological Makes Strange Discov-

ArchaeoIogist Makes Strange Discov~
cry Near Albany, Ore.
While eXcayating on a farm five
miles southwest of Albany, Ore, near
the bank Of the Calapooya river, J. G.
Crawford of Albany, Ore, discovered
the remains Of five bodies of prehistor.
ic men and also a small altar, undoubt-
edly used for sacrifices, says an Al
bany {Ore.) dispatch. The skeletons
showed that all had been mutilated.
Crawford, who is an archaeologist,
thinks the people undoubtedly were
cannibals. In one case the whole face
had been broken out from the top of
the head to the jaw.
The altar was built on rock foun-
dation in oval form and was con.
structed of clay which had been burned
until it was as red as brick. Crawford
says it was the custom to offer the
hearts Of the dead on these affairs as q
burned sacrifice to some deity.
