To the Editor of The Journal
I inclOSe an article on radium cut out of
your paper, in which Edison is supposed
to speak on the subject. I doubt If he
could be so ignorant on the subject of
radium, as he certainly knows that radi-
um is not a mineral to be found like coal,
iron, gold lead or copper, but a manu-
factured product land the raw material
that is used is so scarce that there is a
a question whether: half a pound of ra-
dium will ever be manufactured in the
world unless more uranium or pitchblend
can be found than up to date. There has
been a fraction over one e-of radilrn
produced in the world at cost of, about
100000 and this has been manufactured
by M Curie of Paris. The raw material
has been taken from the dumps Of an old
uranium mine In Jachamathal, Bohemia
and it so far has taken eight tons of this
dump to produce "a Traction of a grain of
{radium after eight months Of crystal

outskirts of Paris,,!and then finally finish-

where his wife and himself both worked to

dunn. S4
n Theson1y material now known that will
produce this wonderful something called
radiurn, or life itself; is uranium or
pltcnplend. Inc writer mas spent "a good
deal Of time prospecting for these min
erals and there is, so far, no raw mate-
rial in sight to EProduce5sradfurn. It has
taken over three years to produce a little
over an ounce Of radium, and no new
discoveries Of either uranium or pitch
blend. It seems to me either Mr. Edit
son never said what he is reported to
have said, or is very ignorant on the SUBJ
ject, and this seems hardly possible.

Wood Paving in New York.

After several years Of experiment.
ing, New York has returned to wood
paving. Ten downtown streets, includ-
ing lower Broadway, are to be paved
this year with blocks of Australian
wood, such as has been used with sue
cess in London and Paris. The argu-
ments for the wood paving are that it
is >hbiseless and affords. sure footing
for horses in slippery streets. s i
The most remarkable feature about
the return to wood paving is the pre-
MUM New York is willing to pay to
do away with noise. Asphalt paving
can be had for $1.eo a square yard,
while wood will cost $3.50. Yet; New
York is willing to pay the difference
just to escape nerve-racking noises.
In New York it has come to pass
that the fine window tables. in the best
restaurants where there is light and a
picture Of moving panorama of metro
politan life are deserted and the din
ers crowd to the dark and gloomy re-
cesses next the kitchen just to escape
the rumble and roar Of traffic over
stone paving. The houses in the Sc
cluded peacefulness of otherwise not
desirable residence districts have come
to command the highest rents. The
owners Of property see the point ard
they are petitioning for wood paving.

Peril of the Czar,

The present course of events in Rus
sia appears logical to all except the
czar and his fatuous advisers. A war
entered into in haste with a power
whose strength was not only unknown
but despised, resulted in some startling
defeats for. the imperial arms. The
flower Of the czar's fleet was destroyed
in a series of running battles, and the
supposed impregnable fortress of the
east was literally pounded to dust by
an interchangeable enemy.
More armies were raised and sent
across a continent, only to meet the
fate of their predecessors. Finally the
remaining strength Of the navy was
massed in a great squadron, and that,
too, was put out Of action in less than
an hour Of fighting. Not one ray of
victory has shone across the path Of
the czar since his ill-starred uncle
boasted Of the coming triumph over
the "Japanese Monkeys 49,
It is possible to conceal most things

Callous to Duty.

Tbe resienat ton of Chief sEnginee
Wallace proves not to have been
prompted by any grievance but by
plain unadulterated desire to do better
in financial way. He was offered
something like 100000 year by a New
York concern and deserted the govern
ment to accept the dollars.
The action of Mr.. Wallace is pecul-
iarly exasperating because the Panama
canal commission had just been re-
organized to suit him and he had ac-
cepted appointment not only as chief
engineer but as a member of the COM
mission and member of the executive
committee. The latter appointmentswere
solicited by Wallace and he appeared
to be grateful to the administration
when it met his wishes in these par
ticulars. But neither gratitude nor
patriotism count with Mr.. Wallace
against 100000 a year. Within twelve
days after accepting reappointm he
was dickering with the New York con-
cern which he has now deserted the
government to serve.
The dressing down given to the late
chief engineer by Secretary Taft was
exceedingly well done and coming from
a man who has made many sacrifices
for his country it went home with the
force of authority. If Taft had been
the Wallace kind he would never have
gone to the Philippines, OF having gone
he would have run home at the first
offer, Of a retainer and left the great
work he was capable of doing undone
Had Elihu Root been the Wallace branc

sional gains in New York would have

every demand and warmed the hearts
of those who have tired of the mouthing
of Shakspere' lines by the actors of

players gave every line of the comedy
its full consideration. There was a
pleasant absence Of "spot light" fol-
lowing the star. The company was Of

performance which should have pleased
any save critic suffering from the
pangs of indigestion.

Is Canada an independent nationq
If being left to make her own way III
the world would constitute her an in
reason to regard her in that light. The
abandonment Of Halifax and Esqui-5
malt as imperial fortresses and the
turning over of these garrisons to the
Canadian government is an important
change in the attitude of the mother
country to the Dominion.
Sir Charles Dixie sees in the trans
fer of these garrisons from imperial to
the Canadian troops confirmation of his
previously expressed belief that Great
Britain will never again wage war with
the United States. There will be no
occasion, in his view, to defend Canada
against the republic. This may consti-
tute "a plausible explanation Of the
transfer of the important military posts
to the Dominion authorities, but, as a
matter of fact, neither of them were Of
any value for such defense. In fact,
Canada g defense against the United
States is the friendship of the Ameri-
can people.
AS to Canada itself, however, this
transfer of the garrisons emphasizes
the independence Of that country, be-
cause, being left to make her own de-
tense and man her own fortresses, it
would naturally follow that she must
before long be conceded the right to
make her own terms with other ma
tlOns, exercise the treaty-making power
and discharge all the other functions
Of an independent nation. This is quite
to the notion Of the Canadian. He
has become quite confident Of his abil-
ity to manage his own affairs and, while
some sort Of a nominal connection may
be maintained with the imperial gov
ernment, the dissolution Of those rela-
tions which bind Canada by imperial
alliances and treaties may soon be
effected. Certainly Canada cannot be
expected to assume the responsibilities
| Of self defense end self-maintenance
| without being expected to arrogate to
herself also the powers and privileges
which usually accompany the condition
! Of political independence. A CORE
spondent of the Boston Transcript,
commenting upon this situation, as
sumes that Canada will assert such
powers and authority, and declares that
while no distinct avowal Of a new
status Of independence has as yet been
made by the Ottawa government, there
is no reason to doubt that such an
| avowal will come when the opportunity
presents itself.

A poet in the Baltimore American
sings of the discovery Of remarkable
man who is not planned a la the comic
supplement-. He often went fishing and
caught real fish. In the, winter, when
he went out to skate with the children,
he did not fall down and break his
spine. He never whipped his boys for
doing mischief into which he had led
them, and when his wife went away
for the summer, instead of calling in
the neighbors to play poker he moped
about the house until he could not stand
it any longer and then wrote to her to
come home. The interesting features

Duluth, Mimi, June 3O.-The prox-
unity Of populous cities to the game
wilderness Of the northwest has re-
suited in some unusual and rather re-
markable occurrences at Duluth in the
past two years. There seems to have
been a noteworthy increase in the num-
ber of wild animals close to the city,
and there have been far more of them
within the city limits, indeed in it's
most frequent parts, than ever before;
doubted the frequency with which black
bear were seen in Duluth two years ago.
It is fact that in October, 1903, nine
teen bears were shot and killed not only
inside the city limits, but in its parks,
along. its leading residence streets, or
car lines, and in the immediate vicin-
ity of dwellings. The leading residence
district of the city is between Twelfth
and TWenty-ffth avenues east. Very
few of these bears were shot further
out than Twentysecond avenue: A
in the frequented parts of Lester park,
some distance further out, and some
were seen almost in the center Of town.
While the bears were making the city
their headquarters, persons aHghtlng
from street cars in the evening would
sometimes run across bear cubs, or old
er bears, on the sidewalks, or in front
dooryards. No one has ever been able
to explain the cause for this influx of
bears, and it has not occurred since,
tho they are apparently as plenty as
ever in the section Immediately sur
rounding Duluth and but a few miles
from all the hubbub of city life.
The Tame Red Deer. -..-
It is now, and has been for some time,
common occurrence for electric cars
on the East Fourth street line to scare
red deer from the tracks. These are
so tame that the passage of teams does
not seem to have much effect on them.
Fawns by scores have been seen along
that line this season.
There is a little patch of woodland
thru which this line runs on its way
to the suburb Of Hunters Park, and
down this woods is a stream along
which is being laid out one of the city S
most picturesque parks This is, fre-
uuented by red deer all summer long
and residents there often see them
either singly or in droves.
But the near presence Of deer is nc
unusual circumstance; they haunt the
dwellings Of man as closely as possible
both from choice and to avoid the raw
ages OF wolves, WHICH lreQueut Iue sur

be heard by those who live in the city Is
