Effects Of Radium.

Many precious stones show remark
able change of color in the presence Of
radium. In late German experiments
a colorless diamond from Borneo be-
came pale yellow after an exposure of
eight days 70 impure radium bromide,
deeper yellow in eight days more and
was not wholly restored to its original
colorlessness by heating to redness.
The light blue of a sapphire turned to
green in two hours, then to yellow, red
dish yellow and after fourteen days to
yellowish brown. The color disappear
ed on heating, light yellow invariably
reappearing, however, when the stone
became cold. The rays did not affect
the color of the amethyst, ruby, blue
topaz or chrysoberyl, but tourmaline
with green end became green at any
other point on which the rays acted.

ments were made to-day By persons rep
resentiag the Trust Company of Amer
lea in the Douglass-Dennett case of
stolen bonds. William F. sheehan, coun-
sci for the company. and one Of the COM
panys officers. declared that the entire
case. so far as the police are concerned,
has been closed with the arrest Of w. ..
Douglass, the assistant bond clerk, who
took the securities from the vault. and
oliver n. bennett, the broker who re-
ceived and used a large part of them.
Another man who is familiar with all the
details Of the case declared that third
party is being sOasal who, it Is believed,
engineered the looting OF the vaults and
furnished the brains for the Douglass
bennett combination. II is claimed now
there were ten men In the plot to loot
the bank.
It turned out to-day. also. that the trust

Brokers Hold 10 Bonds.
The brokers who hold the bonds refuse
TO give them up without some sort Of a
guarantee that they will be held harm
less in the transaction. President Thorne
said the company had paid out S75,0o0 as
a debit balance in recovering bonds. The
two amounts added make the $4,000
which he fixed as the companys loss

bonds taken was 100000, used BY plotters

be brought TO recover the bonds If they
are not returned. and il is likely also
that efforts will be made TO compel the
reimbursement Of the trust company for
the money which IL has been obliged 70

The company refused to-day. as il has
every day since the thefts became known
to give out the actual total value OF the
bonds which were taken.

President Thorue admitted to-day that
the larcenies from the company had been
going on for nearly a year. he Was
asked about "a report that the directors
