Senator BOrah'S Case.

A Washington dispatch says there
is the keenest interest shown there
as to the attitude President Roose-
welt and Attorney General Bona
parte may take regarding the Fed
eral grand jury's work in the tim
Der fraud cases in Idaho.
4 A morning newspaper there pub
lished press dispatch from Boise
stating positively that Senator b.
rah has been indicted presumably
for conspiracy.
1t is also said that he has asked
the Attorney General to review the
evidence and indictments returned
thereon by the federal grand jury,
with a view of having action
against the senator postponed until
after the Western Federation cases
are concluded.

a single scabby potato, three rows
at one end gave a half sack of scab-

been at this place and at no other,
am at a loss to understand, for
am sure that every sack of seed had
the same treatment. These three
rows had, at this end, been more or
less disturbed, and the young tubcrs
uncovered by the ground squirrels.
Whether a few floating spores from
the old ground had blown over and
thus inocualted the young tubers is
possible, but to improbable to take
into account. AS the patch of
ground planted yielded about 90
sacks of potatoes, large and small,
and the scabby ones filled sack
barely half full, the ratio was to
100. This would mean over oe
per cent of potatoes were free
from scab, while the seed from
which they were raised had beer
unusually sCabby.

II desired, this brake may be thrown
out of action completely to permit the
skater to perform various fancy fig
ures.
In addition to the brake just de-
scribed, the wheel for the left foot is
provided with ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
arm which the skater may use as a
drag to retard his motion. The wheel
for the right foot is provided with a
similar drag arm which also has in
connection with it brake block that
bears against the inner periphery of
the wheel when the drag arm bears
against the ground, thus furnishing
the skater with quick-acting brake
for use in emergencies. The inventor
also proposes to use motor in con-
nection with each skate wheel, which
will be attached in the manner indi-
Gated in the diagram. The wheel will
be driven by belts running from the
power shaft of the motor to a pulley
groove on the felly of the wheel. Fuel
tor the motor can be supplied from a
tank strapped to the back of the
skater. 1t is claimed that wheel skat-
ing can be learned in a very short

knack of using them with safety in a
few minutes.

MOTOR CYCLES FOR FEET.
Wheel Skates Which Can Be Used On
the Ordinary Roads.

Attempts have been made from time
to time to extend the sport of skat-
ing to ordinary smooth roads. The
reason that roller skates cannot be
used on macadam roads is because
the rollers are of such small diameter
that they drop into every depression
and unevenness of the road and
check the progress of the skater.
What is necessary, then, is a
skate with large wheels. But these, if
placed directly under the skaters feet,
will raise him dangerously high. How
ever, the difficulty seems to have been
solved by a Swiss inventor, Mr.. M.
Roller, of Winterthur. who has de-
panying illustration.
It will be observed, continues the
Berlin correspondent of Scientific
American, that the skates are each
provided with a single wheel which is
about a foot in diameter. The skater S
foot is supported below the center of
the wheel, and in order that the tread
may come directly below the center OF
the skaters foot the wheel is set on o
slant The wheels are dished. conpris-
ing a disk of corrugated metal con-
Meeting the hub with the rim. and also
series of tension spokes which serve
to stiffen them. The foot support is
suspended on hanger attached to the
wheel axle, and it is provided with Il
pair of braces extending upward to
support a strap which is fastened
around the skaters leg above the
ankle. To prevent the wheels from
rolling backward brake is attached
to the foot support and bears against
the inner periphery of the wheel rim
This brake is normally out of action
but Is automatically set as soon as tbs

THE PARENT UF RADlUM.
Prof. BoltWocd Of Yale Announces an
Important Discovery. -.

The isolation of a new radioactive
chemical element, which appears to be
the immediate parent" of radium, or
the substance from which that element
is derived, is announced by Prof. Ber-
tram b. Boltwood of Yale in The
American Journal of Science. Over a
year ago Prof. Boltwood announced
that his experiments indicated the
separation from uranium of such a
substance, and he has now been able
to prove that it is Identical with none
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-12-13


of the radioactive elements hitherto
known. He has accordingly given it
the name ''ionium,' because, in COM
mon with other radioactive substances,
it possesses 'ionizing" power, or abil-
ity to separate gases into their unit
mate constituents. Says Prof. Bolt
wood:
Experiments which have been car
ried out with a view to obtaining
quantitative separation of this new
clement from small quantities of very
pure uraninite have given results
which are in coed agreement with one
another and which indicate that the
activity of the new element in equi-
!ibrium with radiuln is about o.S of the
activity of the radiuT itself with
which it is associated This is about
the value TO be expected if the new
substance is intermediate between
uranium and radium
Strong evidence has, therefore
been obtained of the existence in
uranium minerals of new radioactive
element, & which produces NO
sinanation and which resembles tho
rum in its chemical properties. 1t is
without doubt a Gisintesraticn product
Of uranium and is in all ability
the immediate parent of radium. - s.
Further experiments are in prog
ress which it is hoped will afford al
ditional information as to the proper
ties and chemical behavior of this new
