COMMITTEE IN EurAuLA.
COnxresanaen Received and Entertainei
 In Barhourss Metropolis.

In Barbour's Metropolis. Eufauia,. March 11.--iSpecial.l l--Ths Rivers and Harbors Committee, com posed of twenty-five Representatives of the lower House. reached this city yesterday afternoon at b:30 o'clock by boat from Columbus. Ga. The commit- tee was accompanied by their wives and some young ladies and several prominent citizens from Columbus, in- cluding Mayor Chappell and Ralston cargiH President Of the City Board of Trade. They were met at the wharf here by q large number of representa- tive citizens and were driven in auto mobiles and carriages all over the city and assembled at the Elks Home on Randolph street where an informal gathering was held and light refresh-
 nents were served. | Thence they were escorted to the parlors of the Bluff City Inn where a reception was held until 10 o'clock About this hour the dining rooms were thrown open. where magnificent course dinner was spread and half q hundred or more invited guests were present.
 Hon. E. P Thomas acted as toast master. and the visitors were well eomed in a beautiful and glowing speech by Hon. Eli S. Shorter of this city. Congressman Dovener of Wheel ing, West Va. expressed thanks on behalf of the committee for the most cordial and hospitabie reception that had been rendered them and said that he was proud to visit the home town of Hon. Henry D. Clayton. whom he regarded as one of the most able mem- bers of the House.
 Congressman Richardson of Hunts vile paid a glowing tribute to his na- tive State. and Congressman Adamson of the Columbus district spoke elo- quently of the Chattahoochee and the busy industries that adorned it's banks.
 Delicious wines flowed freely and the occasion was a brilliant and inter- esting one.
 Mayor Dent and the City Council and the Board of Trade were accompa- nied by their wives and festivities were kept up until 12 o'clock when the boat signaled the time for &heir de- parture.
 Quite a number of the congressmen called upon Mrs. Victoria Clayton at her home during Inc evening, having expressed a special desire to meet the mother of the Congressman from this district.
 The committee will visit Fort Gaines and other points along the river and expects to reach Apalachicola about Monday noon.

METALS MAY DEC0MPosE,
AIehemiStS' Dream Revived in the
 Twentieth Century.
Philadelphia Record.


 growing conviction that the al chemists dream of the transmutatiou Of metals may actually become 3 reality ls due to the study of the emanations of radlum. The belief is that as the atom of radum dislnteF- rates it gives rise to helIum. while it itself Is thought to be the result of the dfsintegration of uranium. But if the atoms of all elements arc made ID of electrons. and if uranium and radium thus disintegrate into simpler sub stances, then 1t seems probable that all elements must he liable to a like spontaneous decomposition. And so We find n correspondent in an English sci entifc magazine suggesting that lead may thus disintegrate into silver.
 Silver and lead. it is pointed out nearly always occur together. Lead almost invariably contains silver, and silver mine Is usually also lead mine. Yet the chemical attraction be- tween these metals is only slight. and they are not sufficiently common for the combination to be due to chance.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-03-12

Is it not possible, then. as radium dis | Integrates into helium. and uranium into radium. so lead may in like man. ner break into silver? In both the eases cited 1t Is the element of great CT atomic weight which produces that with the less and 1t may be noted that the atomic weight of silver Is los, and that of lead 207.
 The matter, 1t Is suggested. might easily be put to the test of experi- ment. Let a few tons of lead be as absolutely freed from silver as the most refined chemical methods can ac- complish. Let this purified lead be put aside for number of years. and then tested for silver.
 Other interesting cases where, two or more clements are usually associa- ted are noted. Gold. for example. Is ire quently found along with copper. In New Stalth Wales the Great Cobar mine furnishes copper containing four oune- es of gold to the ton. The atomic weight of gold being l97. and that of copper 63. we must suppose that gold degenerates into copper. Hence the amount of native gold in the earth must be diminishing, while in the far past the rich copper deposits of Lake Superior. for example, were probably pure gold
 Agan, traces of platinum are found m almost diA Hd(4Nb Goiu HlSs III tHe light of the above suggestion, must be looked upon as the beginning Of degeneration. for the atomic weight of platinum Is l9i.9 (Mendeleef), while gold Is I97. And platinum Is invariably associated with other rare metals, osmIum, iridium. palladium. etc, of lower atomic weights. These latter, then. must be looked upon as disinteg- ration products of platinum.
 R nf Ir Ina .,F the atom, through which the element of greater atomic weight gives rise to the one with loss, is spontaneous, and takes place with extreme slowness But if such disintegration really occurs, there are probably chemical or physical means by which 1t could be initiated. or hastened. And if such means can be then the old dreams of the of transmitting the baser metals Into the nobler may be real ized in at least one case-lead being into silver.

Just before the last moment came to get his name on the ticket for the primary to fill the vacancy in the city council from the Fifth Ward and which vacancy will be voted for on March 26th, the same day as the county primaries, J T. Knowlen. a we'll known citizen of that ward announced for the vacancy.
 Mir. Knowlen is very popular citizen and of late considerable pres- sure has been brought to bear upoT him by his friends to make the race for councilman and at the very last moment he decided to do so.
 With the entrance of Mir. Knowlen in the race there will be three candidates for the vacancy, the other two being w. P. Shannahan and R. H. Burftt These gentlemen are popular citizens of the Fifth Ward and the race between them promises to be an interesting one.

Sewing Up Stabbed Heart.

A recent dispatch from Milan de-
scribed a wonderful surgical opera
ton there by DR.. Media. A workman
had been murderously assaulted,
knife in the hand of an assassin actu-
ally piercing his heart. He was at
tended by surgeons who cut way
through his breast to reach the
wounded heart. Three stitches were
required to close the wound, which
had almost entirely healed five days
after the operation.
To restore sight to the blind eyes of
Wilton Heinard, of Washington, the
specialists at the Episcopal Eye, Ear
and Throat Hospital have grated the
transparent membrane of Belgian
hare's eyeballs to Heinard's eyes. The
most recent reports on this operation
indicate that it is going to be sue
cess.
C. A. Mccartney, a young contractor
of Pasadena, has survived the unusual
experience of having his heart and
lungs exposed, washed, mended and
replaced. He was injured last June
by falling from bicycle upon the up
turned prongs of hayrake. He is
almost as well as ever.
