Lord Kelvin. Conception of an Atom.


Lord Kelvin, in an article on atom
with Enormous Energy for Radlo-ac-
tlvity," published in the Philadelphia
Magazine, puts forward a plan of an
atom capable of storing energy for ra-
dio-actlyity. The atom of ponderable
matter IL supposed to be intrinslcally
charged in concentric spherical shells,
each such layer being uniform in itself
but the density and sign of the distri-
button varying from layer TO layer. A
curve, called the work curve, Is then
plotted, whose ordinates show the work
required TO bring an electrlon from in
fnity TO the point in question. In the
curve drawn there are two minlma,
one just within the radius of the atom
and second at its centre. Between
these two minima there is one maxi
mum. The curve Is. of course, SYM
metrlcal about the centre OF the atom.
If, therefore, an electrion be placed at
or near the centre Of the atom, 1. e.. be-
tween the two maxlma of the work
curve, 1t has stability, but only through
a narrow range. II 1t is taken further
away from the centre than these max
ina, tine electric force OF the atom upon
1t will shoot 1t out of the atom with
prodlgious velocity, which will be but
slightly diminished by the attraction OF
the whole atom when 1t gets outside.

REAL FRENCH HATS BOUGHT.

The beautiful and expensive models
used in the Paris millinery shows are
occasionally bought en- masse by large
dealers on this side and then American
women have an opportunity to buy
real French hats at prices that are
not prohlbitiye. There are those, Of
course, who would not wish to buy
anything that had been used for dis,
play, but many more are glad Of just
such chance.

The o. r. & n. company will begin
work soon on a new side track at
North Fork station house. three miles
east of Meachem creek.
This side track will be one of the
longest on the mountain division and
will greatly facilitate traffic on the
mountain.
At present there is no siding be-
tween Huron and North Fork, a dis
tance Of IL miles, and trains are often
greatly delayed i'm waiting for an OPP
posing train to run this distance
With the new side track at this
point trains can be kept moving con-
tinually and the helper service on the
mountain viii be especially benefited
by it.
During the past two years the Q. r.
& y. has built a number of long sid
ings and spurs on the mountains and
several more are in contemplation.
The new side tracks which have
been built are Conway, between Bing-
ham Springs and North Fork; Glo-
yer, between Kamela and Hilgard and
Cook, between Union and Telocaset.
Two short spurs have also been add
ed, Leavitt. between North Powder

Unity and Durkee. These spurs are
named for two pioneers of the o. R
& N.-Mayfield, for l. T. Mayfield

built. the old sidings have been length

been made at Echo, Kamela, Union,

The sidings of the mountain divis-

The rates of interest allowed by the
commission on railroad systems range
from AT to 6 per cent, according to
Condition.
The o. r. g. n. valuation in Oregon
is but S4.523,327, according to the as
SCISSORS lists, but its net earnings for
last year were s4.445, 9S5.04, which
at 6 per cent would be interest on over
$40, 100000 for the system. or $32.-
600, 900 that portion of the system in

Computing interest at per cent,
the Astoria and Columbia River road
is worth S2.S63,122, while its assess
ed valuation is but s379,S73.
The Coos Bay, Roseburg & Eastern
railway is assessed at $4,000. and the
commission finds its commercial value
to he SS0S,527.
The Columbia Southern railway
company had total assessment OF
s21i 500, while according to the com
missions computations, its market
value is S1,161,O00.
The Corvallis & Eastern was valued
| by the assessors at S239,275, but the
tax commission finds that 1t has an
actual value. as shown by its earning
power, of $77S,461.
The railroad property of the North
ern Pacific in Oregon was valued by
the assessors at S31O.405. The COM
mission places the actual value al

The Oregon Short Line has an as
sessed valuation of S96,745, but an
actual value OF $1,1OO.600 as its value
is ascertained by the tax commission
The Rogue River Valley railroad
has an assessment of $5O25. while its
commercial value is $4,000.
The total valuation of the Southern
/ Pacific railroad property. as determ-
ined bv the assessors, was S3,6S5. $50
The tax commission finds that the
commercial value Of the road in Ore
gon is S2iO65, 900.
The Sumpter Valley railway had a
total assessment of SS9,5OO. while the
commission finds its actual value was
sSS7.992.
The Washington & Columbia River
Railway company was valued by tho
assessors at $265,399, while the COM
mission computes its commercial
value in Oregon at s7OO,3S0.
For the purpose of securing a full
and fair assessment of railroad prop
erty in this state the tax commission
has recommended the enactment Of q
law for the creation OF permanent
commission of five members, who
shall assess railroads. pipe lines and
ewire lines in this etate. The bill sub
mitted provides for the appointment
of two commissioners by the governor
secretary of state and state treasurer

OF the great Gre. and You may measure
the distance between them. Thus It Is

day, Jane called us up about in the
morning TO tell us of n great fire they
saw in the city. SO rose and slipped
on my nightgown and went to her win

see the temper In which he views the
destruction Of the city. 'The clouds
OF smoke were dismal and reached up
on computation near fifty miles In
length" he writes the day after the
fire. "Thus | left II this afternoon
