Town Council to Hold Special
Mssting TO Consider Track
Question

The town council will hold a specia
meeting tomorrow afternoon to act on the
petition presented by the residents OF
Smithheld avenue and concerning the
changing OF the street railway tracks on
that thoroughfare. When the Rhode ISL
and company was given permission TO
lay tracks on Smthheld avenue a plan
was presented, showing tho proposed To-
cation of the tracks and the question Is
raised as 70 whether the people can Sc
cure a change I'm this location now.
IL is stated that another reason for the
meeting Is that many OF the highway
employees are desirous OF getting their pay
before Labor Day, and this can not be
done until the council allows tho bills.

Lord Kelvin's recent dissent from the
supposition that one chemical element
may be evolved from another has created
stir among those who are openly com
mitted TO that doctrine. His short note
TO the London Times on the subject has
been followed by others from champions
of the Views which he condemns.
In the course OF the correspondence. II
appears, the question was asked by Mr.
II. j STRUT how the existence of radium
I'm the earth at present could be account
ed for Laboratory experiments indica te
that that strange substance dsntegrates
at such rate that any given piece OF II
would completely disappear I'm 5000 or
1000 years. AS the world Is believed to
be much more than 1000 years old. the
followers Of Sir William Ramsay hold
that the original supply of radium must
have entirely cvaporated long ago. They
therefore suspect that there must have
been a fresh production by a process OF
transformation from some other element
perhaps uranium.
Lord Kelvin points out that at least
one other hypothesis is tenable. He
claims no credit for originating the idea
but merely shows that he agrees with
others by whom IL had already been ad-
vanced. IL Is possible. he says that
radium may have been imprisoned in the
crust OF the earth under such enormous
preasures that disintregation was impos-
sible.
To use his exact language. the constit-
uent atoms may have been safely pro-
tected against the explosive fyings asun-
der by which they produce the heating
effects discovered by our laboratories"
what ever be the final verdict OF chem
lists and physicists on this opinion, IL IL
evident that the world is not just now
tied down 10 any single explanations or
the fact to which Mr.. STRUTS inquiry re-
lates.
Lord Kelvins reply is interesting for
other reasons than because II shows what
he thinks OF the antiquity Of radig-l. 10
will be observed that he accepts, provi-
sionally at least, the theory OF Prof ]. J.
Thompson that atoms arc composed OF
particles much smaller than themselves.
for II Is by the explosive nyings asun-
der" OF the particles which enter into the
structure OF an atom OF radium that Prof.
Thomson explains the once mysterious
development of heat from that substance.
when Lord Kelvin was lasfln the United
States he hesitated TO express himself
regarding the hypothesis that the atom
Is a composite. His present frankness
shows that he is not so conservative as
might have been supposed.-New York

TWICE TRIED To
HANG HIMSELF
IN HIS CELL

John Fleming last night attempted
twice TO take his life while in cell 10 in
the Central sta.ion. after he had been
locked up for drunkenness. In both In
stances he tried hanging and was cut
down only in time 10 avert complete
strangulation.
Fleming was arrested at $40 by Patrol
man II. II. Rowe on Mathewson street
and sent TO the station.
At 7i5 Patrolman James II. Lee, on
guard duty In the detention room, heard
a gurgling sound In the cell room; and
as there have been many attempts at sui
eide by prisoners the sound was familiar
10 the officer and he hurried 10 discover
the cause.
He found that Fleming had suspended
himself from the top OF the cell door with
his necktie.
After the prisoner had been revived his
suspenders and belt were removed from
the cell TO prevent another attempt.
The precaution was futile. however, as
but an hour later the prisoner again sus-
pended himself with his underdrawers
This attempt was discovered by Patrol
Driver Everett c. Bliss. and again Flem-
ing was saved.
Fleming soon dropped into deep sleep
In the police court this morning he was
fined s. and costs.
