Radium Demonstration.

Lexington may 10 few weeks wit
ness lhe marvels of radium, the re-
markable discovery of which so
startled the world recently. Prof.
W. B. Patty, an expert exhibitor, is
contemplating an appearance herein a
few weeks, bringing supply of the
substance and demonstrating its re-
markable qualities. Radium, IL will be
remembered, is the newly discovered
mineral that gives constant heat and
light, and continually throws off tiny
PARTICLES Of itself, yet without any
apparent dimunition Of its weight or
strength Its rays will instantly
penetrate several inches Of metal or
over a foot OF wood; its cost is at the
rate OF over S., 600, 900 per pound, and
hardly obtainable even at that fabu-
lous rate, so ex remely scarce is the
present supply. Scientists estimate
that it is practically inexhauStible,
aud that it will continue It's remark
able manifestations for thousands, if
not mill ons of years without wearing
out
If Prof. Patty comes he will also
bring supply of liquid air and a
wireless rel graph apparatus, both Of
which will be instructively and en-
tertaininglY demonstrated His com.
ing to this city will depend upon the
citizens assuring the local manage
ment that large house will result.
Already many tickets have been
pledged for the anticipated treat, and
it is hoped that another hundred can
be placed 10 the next day or two, 10
which case definite arrangements Can
be announced. II is hoped that those
interested in the subjects will respond
promptly to the opportunity in order
, that this interesting and educational
attraction may be secured.
The three subjects are attractive
and up -to.date, and with the numer
GUS experiments announced to accom-
paly the lecture, are likely to receive
hearty support from The public. d&wl
