RADIUM SHOWS
in PICTURE

NEW YORK, Jan. 4-The peculiar
properties of radium enabled George
B.. Pegram, instructor of physics at
Columbia University, to re-
Gently $4,000 worth of the substance
which DR.. Robert Able of st. Luke's
Hospital believed he had lost. Able
was one day using radium in the
treatment Of a patient and dropped
a tube containing sixty milligrams of
it on the floor. The radium salt
spread all over the carpet and could
not be seen. Able applied to Pc
gram, who is Columbia's radium ex-
pert.
Pegram visited the hospital and
took with him several Photographic
plates covered with black paper.
These he placed on the floor where
the radium was believed to be. When
the plates were developed he was
able to see the exact position of the
radium. He then had the section OF
shown the salt to be taken up and
with the dust under it, carried to the
laboratory.
Pegram shook all the dust out o.
the carpet and by simple chamica
treatment recovered something more
than sixty millograms of a mixture
of barium and radium bromide
which he believes contains most o
the salt that was lost. The Who'll,
amount lost weighed only about
grain.

Mork on Dnisy Annex.


Out on the Daisy Annex Mining
Company's property in the Diamond
field section of the Goldfield district,
development work is going along at
a rapid rate and if the present ac-
tivity is kept up and the showings
continue to improve as they have in
the past few weeks, it will not be
long before anorther producer will
be added to that part of the district.
Superintendent Rule informed the
Review man yesterday that the shaft
had reached a depth of fifty feet
and that the two shifts were making
good Roadway. A small stringer was
encountered at a depth of fifteen
feet and at the present level it shows
a width of a foot and a half and
continues to widen as the shaft is
sunk deeper. This ledge shows a
great deal of sulphides and Mr.. Rule
believes that 1t is none other than
a feeder to the main ledge and that
it will eventually lead to a pay
shoot.
The Daisy Annex is to be equipped
with modern machinery at an early
date and when everything is in readi'
ness the shaft will be sunk to q
depth of 800 feet, from which point
prosecuting and drifting will be car
ried out on an extensive scale

is CHEATING IN FOOTBALL.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 4.-Presl-
dent Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
University, gave an interview in
which he took a firm stand for a re-
formation in the athletic methods
Of colleges, especially with references
to football. He classed basketball
and hockey with football as objec-
tionable, while baseball, he declared,
was open to many objections.
ITO discontinue football, basket
ball and hockey at Harvard said
President Eliot, would do no harm.
It is too rough and there are too
many chances for cheating. The rules
have been stretched so that they spoil
the game. It would be a good thing
to have basketball especially discon-
tinued.
Rowing and tennis are the only
sports in which honorable play al
together is practiced. You can no
more cheat in those two sports than
in a game of cards; you would be
crowded out of society if you tried.
'To baseball there are many OBJ
iections. Still, | would not advocate
its discontinuance, because it is sc
popular. Some forms of track sports
are also Objectionable. There is toe
much cheating on records.
Hockey is altogether too rough
1t requires team work, and mus
say | have no use for a game tina
requires that. 1t is not open enough
and as in basketball, its rules hav'
been distorted.

Tennis can be played with profit
by anyone. All it requires is il
dividual skill and brains. There
