Are Strong Rays.

The latest fashions in rays are nitro- gen rays, and they are announced by Prof B Walter in connection with his experiments on the activity of radio tellurium. The rays of radiotellurium through which they pass. so that ra- diation is entirely absorbed by alum inium foil, but easily passes through a glass plate. In travelling a vacuum the rays do not radiate, and save in nitro gen or air their action is slight. The new radating seems to be produced only by nitrogen. whose effect is from 90 to 5o times as great as with hydro gen or oxygen. and il is expected to radiate light in the mysteriously pecu- liar properties of the nitrogen atom.

FOR BALLOON ASCENSION.
Tie Best Time to Start, Says an Ex. pert, Is at the Going Down
 of the Sun.

Did you ever know why it is that balloon ascension at country fair promised for o'clock in the afternoon. never occurs until about 6" Harry Blndley, expert parachute jumper, ask ed a St. Louis Globe Democrat man
 Tt always happens. and the expa. nation generally is that the prepara tions for the ascension could not be made in time. This is rarely the case. for the balloonist never had any in tention of going up earlier than just toward the close of day. The reason for tkis is that not only is an ascen sion at any other time fraught with little more danger on account of the winds which usually prevail. but also because by these same winds the bal loon and parachute are apt to be car ried too far away. perhaps so far that injury may befall them before they can be recovered
 The old and experienced balloonst never makes all ascension except just at sundown, because with the going down of the sun the winds subside con- siderably. he can go almost straight up, break away h!s parachute, and come down in the very lot from winch the ascension was made.
 There is really little danger in parachute leaping when the man who does it is experienced. The parachute must open and bring him down safely though he will have hair raising drop like a chunk of lead for about 100 feet, the distance usually covered before the big bag opens. Then he can guide his descent readily by raising or lowering this side or that in order 10 spill little air, and thus keep it from drifting.
 "A balloon can't be guided. but a parachute with a man of experience hanging to it can be controlled as easily as a boat. for the reason that by tilting it on one side you can force 1t In the other direction. and thus maneuver so that if it is desired you can deposit yourself on the very spo' of the ascension. It is only the inex perienced men who drift. or those who fear they may incline the bag too fai for safety"

RED STREAM IN CAVERN.
Mysterious Cave in British Colum b. q Which Was Explored by
 Two Women.

Barring the superstitions of the na- ttYes and braving the dangers Of an uneXplored cavern at Ross peak, Brit ish Columbia. two Philadelphia wom- en, Miss Elizabeth Waln Vaux. a daughter of the late Mayer Vaux. and Mrs. Charles Schaffer had an exciting experience lately. The result of taeir courage k more extended knoSlc ige of the depths of the recess in the rocks, which is known locally as Dutehman's cave. says the Philadel- phia Bulletin. One of the most won- derful things they saw was a stream which had the appearance of blood. In the dim light of the candles which they carried the women were urable to determine if the water itself were eolored or the red effect was given by Il flowing over deep red rock base.
 The trip was fraught with many dangers. None of the natives ever ven lures more than a hundred feet from the mouth of the cave. IL is their be- lief that the place is inhabited by ogres and creatures of magic power. The tales only whetted the desire of the two Quaker City visitors 10 pene- trate the depths of the rocks SD they secured large candles to light the way into the unknown galleries. No one would accompany them. but 1t was ar ranged that if they did not return hat night searching party was to be sent for them
 After making their way along a nar- row ledge for about hundred yards from the mouth of the cavern. the ex- plorers found themselves in large grotto. the roof hung with beautiful stalactites. which glittered in the. flickering light of the candles. which gave the scene weird aspect The floor was covered with a veritable for est of staagmites that arose like gi- ganhe columns, many of them joining the stalactites.
 It was through this cavern that the blood-red stream runs. The ladies walked along the edge of the water until it narrowed so that they could scarcely squeeze through. At the other end was another cavern. larger and more magnificent than the first. Their candles were burning low by this time and they had to hurry back to the entrance. the last candle sput- tering out just as they reached the be- ginning of the incline leading to the | entrance The last stage of the trip was made In total darkness. but the venturesome tourists reached the cut side world safely and astonished the natives with accounts of what they had seen.

lNCOMBUSTiBLE CELlUlOiD.
Inventive Genius of French Chemist Widens Its Field of Use-
 fulness.

Celluloid. hitherto barred from many uses because of It's explosive qualities. has at last been made incombustibla through the invention of French chemist.
 An ether alcohol solution of cellu- Ibid is made, to which is added an ether-alcohel solution of perchloride of iron. The two are mixed and upon tho evaporation of the solvents com pound having every property of ceIlu- Ibid and which is not only non-inflam- mablc but non -combustible Is obtained.
 This invention should greatly widen the field of usefulness of this modern product, for celluoid is closely akin to guncotton, and it's use has been im- possible in many directions on this ac- count. Now lamp bowls may be made of the new product, and really un. breakable ehimneys are among the i'm. mediate possibilities.
 Sheet celluloid already has displaced glass in picture framing where th. frame e apt to be subjected to rougt usage. and now glass will be crowded out of other fields.

OUR FIRST GREAT HIGHWAY
It Was the "Shod" Mulepath from Vera Cruz to the City of
 Mexico.

The first great commercial highway l Tn America. and for more than three centuries incomparaby the most i'm 1 portant. was that romantea calzada or "shod" mulepath from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico, writes Charles F. Lummis. in MeClure's. T1s is not forgetting the military roads" of the Incas. which the romantic historian twho never saw them) invariably com pares with the great Roman highways to which they are about as cOmpar- able as a Boston alley to Pennsylvania avenue They were extraordinary works for aborigines and greatly fa- cilitated the remarkable operations which distinguished the 1ncas as the only American Indians that ever made what can in sober language be called military campaign; but they were merely improved trails for the pas sage of the llama. and while subject to much traffic, they had no conner cial rating which we can count
 The Vera Cruz road tirst laid out by Cortez in 1922, and improved fin later days to the tune of $3,000, ,06pD was a more or less stone paved high way nearly 100 leagues long, from the seaboard to the capital which for 3ls centuries. was the largest city Tn all the western hemisphere; and over it's rough meanderings. for that long span of time, pottered up and down a com merce so vast in value as to seem incredible to any American" genera ton except this present one. Down it's declivity from the Tierra Fria of the great plateau to the pestilential Tierra Caliente toiled the enormous revenues to which the output of the bonanzas of Zacatecas. Guanajuato, and other great silver mines swelled the royal quintas tfifths): besides the vast riches of indigo sugar. cochineal. sarsaparilla and jalap from Mexico, the cacao of Peru and Ecuador. the copper of Coquimbo and the silks and spices of China and the Philippines ffrom the Acapulco ship"D.
 There are reasonably well-known railroads in the United States which today do not haul half as much value in freight in year as yearly shuffied down the Vera Cruz calzada 300 years 1 ago.

 In spite of this equalizing tendency. the writer anticipates that economic changes consequent on the war will widen the gulf between the rich and poor, "in a word, while public opinion tends toward equality. the financial sit nation will tend to create social abyss, Hence lie appeals to the gov erning classes to mitigate the dangers of the situation by an extension of the franchise-the expedient adopted by the British government after 1875 and by Germany after 1870.

 There was strenuous conversation between the motorman and the driver. The latter seemed 10 have the best of the exchanges, fer with snap of his fingers he turned his back on the de- layed car and kept on the track
