The play Is replete with thrilling
incidents and never fails to hold
the attention OF its audience from

western plays, the drama contains
very few scenes where shooting is

Some of the parasites are Of such
enormous size as to startle the imag-
nation The statement of Father

known and best beloved priests ia
this section of the coutry verifies
this. His statement, among others

Fearful Suffering Caused by Eggs of Parasite Which

Cincinnati o, February Z. Prob

tenn after using the medicine.
Many Of these people were fright
ened, and cases of this sort become SO
numerous that Cooper finally made
the following statement for publica-
ton:
He said: "In ever city visit these
things are brought to ne within a
few days after my medicine is sold
In the city. They are what is known
as tile tape-worm, and grow TO an
enormous size.

years and not be aware of the reason

is robbIng them OF their vitality"
These parasites are taken into the

In the form OF an egg, which matches

from them experience feeling of

The Expression Recital.

Although very cold and the walks
covered with fresh snow, there was
a very good audience in attendance
at the Expression Recital given by
Miss Wayne Miller and her class
Monday night. The FIRST part of
the program was largely made up
OF little people, some of whom, on
account of the severe weather, could
not be present. This necessarily
cut the first part short. There were
some very good numbers, however,
in the first part. We are sure the
solo sung by little Miss Brownie
Dixon was enjoyed by every one in
the house.
The second part was made up OF
recitations by the contestants for
the prize as to the best reader. The
judges we're Rev. Fl. B, Johnston,

bus, KY, and Mr. Hymel, of Nash
vile. We know the judges must
have found it very difficult to de-
eide, for all did well.
The contestants were from Ken

Carter received first prize, Miss
Elsie Brice second prize and Miss
Donnie Rainey third. Miss Katie

A Possible Substitute For Radium.

An interesting announcement OF
which we shall look for confirmation
with interest comes from the Sclooi
of Medicine at Rochcfort (France)
regarding new radio active sub
stance discovered by a young student
named Luncien. 1t is said that the
substance is uranyl-nolybdate, ana
as its constituents, uranium and mo
lybdenum, are fairly abundant Gle
monts, there should be no undue troI-
BILE in providing the materials, nor
would there be in preparing tie SUD-
stance. The molybdate is formed by
adding ammonium mo!ybdate 10
uranyl nitrate, when a white amor
Dhous powder separates. This IS
dried in the dark and apparently
must be kept there, as it is unstable.
1t is said to give radioactive efccts
practically as intense as those given
by radium. Though costly-about
S110 an ounce-thc price is slight
compared to radium, which mas
reached many thousands OF dollars

Magnets That Lift Tons.

In engineering works the electro
magnet is taking very prominent
place. This device dispenses with
hooks, sings and other lifting ap-
paratus. BY throwing switch con-
trolling the current the magnet Is
energized and thereby attaches itself
to the bars, castings, scrap or pig
iron which it is desired to lift.
The magnet poles are shaped ac-
cording to the nature of the material
to be raised For heavy rails they
are oblong and are slung from the
crane hook by short chain. Cast
ings weighing more than two tons
are successfully handled by electro
magnets. Another use to which the
electromagnetic Is put is in breaking
old castings so that they may be
melted and utilized. To accomplish
this the magnet is made to lift and
drop steel ball weighing from one
to six tons.
The time lost In an engineering
shot by what is known as singing
pieces is saved by electromagnetic,
connection being made instantane-
ously, and the weight liberated in
the same expeditions manner. The
magnet is lowered to the object need
ed with the current turned off.
When the switch Is closed the mag
net, becoming active, holds the arti
Gle to be lifted while they are raised
and transported to their destination.
When they are lowered the switch
is opened and the magnet immediate
ly releases them. AS the operator
of the crane controls the action Of
the magnet through the switch, this
one man can attend to all the de-
tails OF transferring heavy metal OBJ
jects. No assistant Is needed to at
tach them to the conveyer or to re-
lease them when they reach their
destination.
