A New Radioactive Element.

Once again the discovery Of new
radioactive element is recorded, this
time in the residue of thorianite. after
having been chemically treated to elm
mate other substances. DR.. Hahn. who
has made this discovery, was able to
obtain ten milligrams of q crystalline
precipitate/ which exhibited marked
radioactive powers, and which after
two months showed no diminution.
This substance rot only glowS feebly
in the dark. but causes screens of pla-
tino-cyanide and zinc sulphide to fuor-
esce, brightly. Luminosity is also pro-
duced if current of air is blown
through a solution of this substance
and then directed on a screen coated
with zinc sulphidc. though this phen-
omenon is different from that appear
ing With e!nanium under similar cordi-
tons. The new emanation while in
all respects equal to that Of thorium is
remarkable for the fact that thorium
itself was not present. 1nasmuch as
inactive thcrium has been found. and
that the thorirm emanation without
,thorium has also been found at Baden
Baden. Dr.. Hahn is led to the belief
that the new element is the active
constituent of thorium, and that its
presence may explain many of the
phenomena of radioactivity. Harper S

AS to Conscience.

The public conscience consists mostly
of frances.
When once aroused the public con-
science cighs and sobs and sheds blood
with great fervor.
1t then closes its eyes and gently
slumbers once more.
Most men prefer the public con-
science asleep.
With it in that condition it is much
easier to stay out after the ringing Of
the curfew.
1t is also easier to stay the market
and strike the public for another cent
on the gallon.
The man who stirs up the public
conscience sometimes gets stirred
under himself.
1t is the prerogative Of the public
conscience to send evil-doers to prison,
whence the private conscience Of the
average governor pardons them out a
few at time.
The public conscience differs from
the private conscience only in guam.

the PRIMITIVE OBSERVATORY OF
JEYp1RE.

Jeypore is the pleasant, healthy capi-
tai of one Of the most prosperous in
dependent States of Rajputana, India,
and is a very bus and important
commercial town, with large banks
and other trading establishments. It
is a centre of native manufactures, es-
pecially those of many kinds of jew
elry and Of colored printed cloths and
muslins. The enameled work done
here is the best in India, and the cut
ting and setting Of garnets and other
stones found in the State is a large
branch of industry. The crowded
streets and bazars are most lively and
picturesque. It is laid out in rectan-
gular blocks, and is divided by cross
streets into six equal portions. The
main streets are Ill feet wide and are
paved, and the city is lighted by gas.
The Maharaja's palace occupies the
centre of the city, which has popu-
lation of about $4,000.
In Jeypore is the famous Jautra or
Observatory, the largest Of the five
built by the celebrated royal astrono-
mer, Jey Sing, the founder of Jey-
pore, who succeeded the Rajas Of Am
ber in 1893. Chosen by Muhammad

APPLES OF GOLD.

There was singer who was mute,
Because all ears seemed deaf to him;
The throbblng measures of the lutte,
Or chantlngs in cathedrals dim
Walked IN his heart no living strain
Until some one came with smile
That seemed as sunshine after rain,
To speak a gentle word the while;
And then his heart with music stirred,
And made a song the whole world heard.
There was a painter-yet his brush
All careless oer the canvas crept,
And inspiration in the hush
OF night no more to being swept,
Until some one come on day
A day that had been gloom and cloud
And stopped but long enough to say
=. A word with heopefulness endowed;
And then the painters eyes grew wet,
But his grand work is treasured yet.
There was soldier; and word
Sent him to battle armed anew.
There was king. One thing he heard
Into greater kingdom grew.
There was slave: One came to teach,
And flowers blossomed in the road,
And the fair balm of gentle speech
Took all the stingings from the goad
And eased his feet where paths were
rough,
One kindly word was word enough.
To-day the toilers in the heat,
And they who work with cunning hands,
Rejoice to hear some one repeat
The word the sore heart understands.
And this is true of each kind thing.

A golden echo back to us.

CLUB NOTES.
SleeUIeSSneSS.

One Of our exchanges gives the fol-
towing cure for insomnia:
Il suD1ose all of us are suffering
from the invasion Of electricity. My
old friend Bounce, who was q victim
of insomnia for forty years. thinks
he sleeps now better than any other
man on earth. He lost his way in the
AdironGacks and stayed over night IN
the cabin of a forester. His sleep was
the deep sleep Of just man made per
feet, and in the morning he found that
he had not moved half an inch all
night
Its the insulation,' the forester in
sisted. You city folks are killing
yourselves with contact. If you'll
break the contact you'll be able to
slepe and get your nerves back"
This matter of contact was finally
explained to mean that our bedposts
are in contact with the floors, the
floors with the walls and the walls
with mother earth. so that whatever
personal magnetism a man has IN hm
goes away in the night time, leaving
him like log Oh his mattress. The
forester had obtained four glass insu-
lators from telegraph poles somewhere
and screwed them on the posts of his
guest bed, so that the electricity could
not run away. Bounce, the very day
he got home insulated his bed, and
from that moment to the present his
insomnia has been banished.
I have frequently recommended the
insulation of the bed for insomnia as
we'll as for others forms Of nervous
ness. Try it.
