holds that the former employees Of the

this process in confidence became its
trustees and that as such they were
forbidden from disposfng of that

Can company assumed the peculiar re-

A Substitute For Radium.


A cable dispatch from Paris says
that student of the Rochester School
of Pharmacy has discovered a new
radioactive substance, possessing all
the properties of radium, but which
costs only $3.50 per gram to pro
duce, instead of 5000, which is the
cost of radium. The student credited
with this important discovery is named
Andre Lancien and is only twenty
one years old He calls the new sub
stance molybdate. The process is de
scribed as follows: When ammonia
molybdate is brought to act upon
nitrate of uranium a precipitate is
formed, and in complete darkness q
white amphorous powder is obtained
from this precipitant. After thirty
hours the white powder takes on 9
yellowish gold color 1t is insoluble
in nitric acid and forms powerful

the same action as radium.

Law Protects Secret Process.
The New Jersey court of last resort
has reversed the lower courts in the
case Of the Vulcan DEFINING company
versus the American Can company, in

right of an employer to prevent for

Vulcan company had been organized
ten years ago to exploit an electrical
process for recovering the tin from old
tin cans, d process purchased in Hol-

the American Can company obtained
the secret from former employee Of
the Vulcan and put him in charge OF q

The interstate commerce commission
has reafirmed the right of interstate
railroads to operate separate passenger
cars for negroes provided that accom-

those intended for the whites of the
same class Commissioner Lane says
that the reasonableness of regulations
to segregate white and colored pas
sengers is established, bat that it does
not follow that carriers may discrim-
mate as to accommodations The de-
cision requires that where a line is
providing wash bowls and towels for
first class white passengers it must
give the same conveniences to first
