A Substitute for Radium.

A cable dispatch from Paris says that student of the Rochefort School of Pharmacy has discovered a new radio active substance, possessing all the prop critics of radium, but which costs only S35O per gram to produce, instead of S6Oo. which is the cost of radium. The student credited with this important dis covery is named Andre Lancieh, and is only 21 years old. He calls the new sub stance molybdate. The process Is de- scribed a. follows: When ammonia mo- lybdate is brought to act upon nitrate of uranium a precipitate is formed, and in complete darkness white amphorous powder is obtained from this precipitate. After thirty hours the white powder takes on a yellowish- gold color. It Is insoluble in nitric acid and forms a powerful radioactive agent, having abso- lutely the same action as radium.

Up to April 1 of this year the total cost of American intervention in Cuba had been S2.969.395. The total cost up to the first day of July has not yet been computed, but is estimated by Sec retary Taft at S3,330,569 The cost of the army and navy services required In the initial stages of the occupation amounted to S2,O12,632, or consider ably more than half of all that has thus far been spent. It has been the inten. ton of our government to ask Cuba tt repay all our expenditures. Indeed, the total which our books show to be due us is much less than 1t would have been had it not been possible to assess many of the costs on the Cuban treas ury direct. The question is an uncer- tain one, however, as to how far It will be possible for Cuba to pay off these military expenditures out of its ordinary revenue, and the ultimate payment may be considered. therefore, in part as still an open question. What ever Cuba must pay will probably have been amply reimbursed to her by the prosperity which has come with peace under American control. There Is re- markedly little complaint heard from the island because of the continuance of American rule, and what there Is comes solely from certain political lead CTS who are not gaining the fruits of their trouble-making dispositions. If even they are comparatively quiet 1t Is no doubt because they are given to un- derstand by the majority of the Gu bans themselves that their peculiar form of patriotism Is the worst possible thing for Cuba. If 1t should prove that enough of the Cubans have got a good grasp of the importance of pre- serving order in the government so that when the American oversight Is removed they can continue to move forward on the lines of the model set them, Cuba cannot only afford to re pay all that we have spent but she will have the certainty that she will reap a thousandfold in returns.

Telephone Hears Whispers Best.

The secrephone is the whispering
telephone. A message can be whis-
pered into it so that person standing
but yard away cannot hear what is
being said, while every word is cor
rectly transmitted to the receiver at
the other end of the line a mile away
or more. For this to be done the mes
sage must be actually whispered If
spoken more loudly, of course, the
speaker can be heard more than a
yard away from the transmitting in
strument. Properly used, however, a
message can be sent in privacy even
with people quite close.
AS present experience goes it re-
quires some little practice to pitch the
voice correctly so as TO get the best re-
suits with the faintest whisper. But
the lesson is not difficult to learn
People with high-pitched voices will
undoubtedly make themselves heard
more distinctly at the other end of the
line with less noise at the transmit
ting end than is possible for those with
lower-pitched voices. The instrument
is claimed to be practically imperish-
able and cannot get out of order with
ordinary use.
