in Paris. The tablets are specimens
uncovered by eXcavatOrs who were
searching for records of the ancient
Babylonians. Several thousands Of
them have been found in the city Of
Nippur, capital of the ancient Baby
lonian state of that name. Nippur
was one Of the largest cities of
Babylonia, situated on the banks Of
canal connecting the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers. The city was famous
as the seat of worship of the god Bel,
chief deity of the Babylonian pan
theon.
A tablet owned by Mr.. Ware is a re-
plica Of one in the Louvre. It resem-
bles nothing so much as a cake of toi-
let soap. In color it is pure white and
is covered with letters of the cunei-
form alphabet The Babylonians used
tablets similar to the one owned by
Mr.. Ware for all their writing, and on
these recorded deeds, leases and other
real estate transactions. The tablets
were made of white clay very much
like that used by modern sculptors.
They varied in size from specimens as
small as a pea to others the size of
bushel basket. They were made by
men who probably occupied the same
position in the Babylonian business
world as our modern stenOgraphers
do. A lawyer would go to one of
these scriveners on the street corners,
dictate his brief to him and the
'stenographer in clay" would write on
the tablet with a three-cornered stick.
The tablet was then baked in a char
coal oven and was ready for use. The
writing on the tablets was first trans
lated by Sir Henry RawIinson in
1854.
The tablet owned by Mr.. Ware re-
cords a transaction between a jeweler
and a real estate man. The real es-
tate man purchased a gold ring with
an emerald from the jeWeler and the
tablet records the sale and contains
the jewelers. guarantee of the ring
for 20 years.

wagon-loads of diverse ores have to
be submitted to a lengthy treatment
in order to extract from them some
minimal fragments. By discOntinu-
ing the various operations at a given
stage the activity of the radium salt
can be varied at will, according to the
special purpose it is intended for and
a whole scale Of different intensities
can thus be readily produced
At a special radium factory recently
installed at -Mame, the
most varied ores are treated, and on
their arrival are all taken to the
cTusheTs, whereas their further treat
ment varies according to tho kind of
material. The method described in
the following applies more particular
ly to pitchbiend, or rather to pitch
blend Tesidues as obtained in the man
ufacture of uranium-which are the
most important of radium-holding ma
teTials. The gross treatment is car
ried out in wooden tanks and cast
iron tanks provided with stirring de-
vices. Each ton Of residue Will re-
quire five tons of chemicals and so
tons Of rinsing water.
AS radium sulphate always remains
at the bottom Of the vessel, it is
found there at the conclusion of the
different operations Oasting about
two and half months). when one or
two Kilograms Of impure radium bro
mide will be obtained from each ton
of residue. The activity of this ra-
dium-hOlding salt hardly exceeds so to
so. Products of higher activity are OBJ
tanned by ting"-namely. by
submitting the mixture Of salts to a
series of successive crystaIIizations
in pure water, and in water contain
ing some hydrobromic acid. The diff
ference of sOlubility of the bromides
of radium and barium respectively is
thus utilized, with view to separat-
ing them from one another. After dis
solving the various bromides, the So
luton is saturated at boiling tenn
perature, and beautiful crystals are
obtained on cooling. These crystals
possess an activity five times greater
than the originally dissolved salts, and
by repeating the same operation over
and over again, products of ever-in-
creasing actiyit- are obtained
While the first fractional operations
are still carried out Cn a commercial
1asis, the more minute operations re-
u.re5 to treat the products of higher

MAY FLY BY SOUND
DE. OWEN HAS NEW THEORY FOR
AERIAL NAVIGATION.
First Airship Smashed by Vibrations,
He Is Busy Constructing An
other-Says Principle Was
Used by the Ancients.

Detroit.-Dr Oryille w. owen is eX-
peTiencing the troubled life of an in
ventor. Years ago he got an idea.
Months ago he was on the point of
realizing it. To-day he is mournfully
watching the repeated deferment of
the hour when the idea will be en-
bodied in practical form.
Owen is the man who believes he
can make a noise like a top and fly
20 the uttermost parts of the world.
Flying is nothing but applied harmony.
according to his theory, and if he can
produce the correct tones he can go
anywhere and do most anything.
The vibratOry theory is his pet
hobby just now He knows all the old
school book stories about the effect
Of vibrations, and lot more that have
been printed in books that few peo-
pie read. The phenomenon that
bridge can be thrown down by sound
ing the proper note on a violin is mere
kindergarten talk TO Owen. He tells
you that Joshua threw down the walls
of Jericho that way, when he ordered
the blast from the rams horns, fol-
lowed By mighty shout.
Also the doctor is sure that this
same vibratOry theory was put to pTac-
tical use by the ancients. The pyr-
amids were built in this way, he says,
and the sphinx was moved into its
present position by the same agency.
The Moabite stone tells of an
ariel which the Israelites possessed" -"
says the doctor, and which gave them
victories until the Assyrians took it
away from them. The ariel was a fly
ing machine, worked by vibrations,
and it could move any weight"
This ancient knowledge of the
sarth's inhabitants has been redis-
covered, DR.. owen believes, and he is
the re-discoyerer. He has invented
and patented a flying machine, con-
trOlled by vibratory action, produced
by means of revolving tops on the
siren principle, the tops being placed

that they think the logic they hear is
a heap better than it really is, because
they expected something so much diff

my friends thought | was a fool to
enter the race. They first told me I
couldn't get the nomination, but I
fooled them. and then I won at the
election. People came to hear me
because my motto was The Young
Man in Politics. and they went away
having heard nothing more sensation
al than any other campaigner would
give them"
That in brief is the system under
which Milwaukee S Boy Mayor works
his campaigns He turned from
COullOn leader to supervisor, and in
the county board he exposed a print
ing graft and saved the county $4,000
a year. He then decided to run for
alderman, and his friends laughed at
him. He was elected and made such
a record that he was able to run for
mayor and win that, too.
His famous coffee automobile did
much to help him in the city cam
paign. When he was alderman he had
one of his automobiles fitted up with
a huge coffee pot, which he could start
a-boiling when there was a fire, and
the coffee would be hot when he
reached the scene of the cOnfagra-
ton. Whenever there was a big fire
he was notified and a quick hitch
harness for a runabOut, which he had
at first. adopted, was soon supplanted
by the autmobile.
In his city campaign he started a
series of smokers, furnishing cOrncob
pipes and tobacco, and when he ad-
dressed a meeting he would, instead
of standing on the platform, sit among
the listeners and talk conversational
ly. This won votes ard he proposes
to adopt the same tac,ics when he
runs for governor.
At Chicago recently he decided upon
the balloon means of reaching the
country districts. He met c. \. Coey,
an enthusiastic automc5.ist and aero
naut, and arranged his plan for a bal
loon campaign almost instantly.

REAL ESTATE IN BABYLON,
Dickering Was Keen 5000 Years Aoo.
Eugene Ware Says.

Kansas City, Mo.-That among the
ancient Babylonians, 5000 years B. c.,
there were lawyers of rare ability,
real estate men of more than ordinary
shrewdness in driving and clinching a
bargain, and craftsmen with great in
genuity and pride in their work, is the
opinion of Eugene F. Ware, lawyer,
poet and "Kansan."
In an address before the real estate
men Of Kansas City some time ago,
Mr. Ware made the statement that as
long as 5000 years ago men were deal
ing in real estate, and that those men
were as energetic traders anQ as keen
in their transactions as the real es-
tate dealers of to-day.
Mr.. Ware explained the result of his
research into the history of the Baby
lonians which has caused him to form
this opinion. While travelling in Eu-
rope several years ago he came upon
a number Of clay tablets at the Louvre

Mr.. Morgan offers for the chalice, the
work can be done without any call on
the parishiOners. The proposal has
been submitted for the sanction Of
the chancellor of the diocese, whose
decision is awaited.
The Chalice is not of distinguished
design. On the contrary it is Of pre-
cisely the same date and pattern as
are the chalices of several neighboring
churches and many others about the
country. 1t is SIX inches high, and is
made of hammered silver. 1t has a
conventional floral design round the
bowl, but its cover, which was original
ly made so as to be used as a paten,
has disappeared. Its hallmark of 1871
comedies with the year in which Plus
V. issued his final Bull excommuni-
eating Queen Elizabeth, and it may
be, as there are many chaIices else
where Of uniform design, that Queen
Elizabeth, to show her disdain of that
Bull ordered generally that these
sacred vessels should be of this pre-
scribed pattern. However, this point
never has been settled, and locally
there are some who think that it was
Bishop Sandys of Worcester and after
ward of London, an arbitrary Calvinist,
who loved to reduce these things to
dull uniformity, who had older chalices
broken and worked up to this simple
design.
