the following:
In France, law has just been enacted

caused any sort of an accident, or who
having been in a collision with any other
vehicle or individual or object, does not
Immediately stop and give his name and

sentatiyes Of the law. This punishment
is to be specifically imposed, quite ir-
respective Of the merits of the case it.

Thus, the offender would be liable for
double punishment; first, for not having
stopped to give his name and address,
and second for having caused the acei-
dent On the other hand, he might be
held guiltless Of wrong in the matter of
the accident itself, but he would none
the less certainly be punished in the first
instance, In short. the purpose OF the
new French law, which viii in all like
lihood be Immediately enacted BY all 9TH

SPRING RUNS RADIUM.
Curative Properties I'm Water Flew
ing from Mines in Austria.


Consul John S. TweiIs. OF Carlsbad,
furnishes the following information con-
cerning the discovery that the water in
the Austrian uranium mines contains ra-
dium, and is of high medical value in
certain diseases:
About eighteen miles from Carlsbad is
the small town of st. JoachimstaL where
the Austrian government has one of It's
tobacco factories. and about three miles
from that town. up in the hills. at a
place which is difficult to reach, are the
imperial uranium works. which have be-
come famous during the last few years
on account OF the radium found in the
uranium stone. There is also a govern
ment factory at St. Joachimstal where
chemical colors are made from the ura-
MUM and shipped To all parts of the
country. About. two years ago the i'm
perial managers OF the uranium mines
made a report TO the government au-
thorities that the water Of the mines was
found to contain radium, and medical
experts have since declared that these
waters are Of high medical value in GER
tain diseases.
During the last fortnight most Of the
Austrian newspapers have published
items according 10 which the Austrian
government is convinced 6f the high
value of these waters and intends 10
take charge thereof, construct a proper
radum spring, and build hotels which
1t will control. The view of the govern
ment is that the beneficial effects of ra-
dium in a number Of diseases have been
admitted by the medical profession. but
hitherto the application has been very
expensive and treatment difficult The
government believes now that by the dis
coyery of radlum In those waters a pow
erful and at the same time cheap medi-
UNI has been found to make the power
Of radium accessible for bathing pur-
nOses.

Is used for exit, the passengers may pass

Then a door must be opened before the
street can be reached.
In some cities the passengers open this
door and the motorman closes it, In
Chicago. soon, the mOtorman viii open
and close the door He now has little
lever which he touches to snue the door
shut, and it is intended that this shall
be fixed so that he will open it By mis-
touch also.
Women Open Door Wrong.
It was found that when women opened
the door. they got themselves into such
a position that they stepped into the
street in the wrong way. It has been
found that where the door is opened for
them they are not endangered.
The most important advance. however.
is made by having the conductor always
on the rear platform. Thus he not only
gets the fare Of every person who passes
him. but he can look out for accidents in
that quarter
Under the present system, the conduc-
tor runs a great risk in starting his car
while he is inside collecting fares Often
times, especially when their cars are
jammed they pull the belr' prematurely
And often, while they are thus employed
in gathering tickets, selling exchanges,

a comfortable tumble and then proceeds
TO sue the company.
It Is also claimed that in cities where
the ''pay-as-you-enter cars are in use,
there are not so many strap hangers"
This, however, Is not due to the cars, but
to the fact that the people refrain from
getting on when they are crowded. or to
the fact that the operating concern places

In New York, when the ear contains a

If one may believe half he reads in the
newspapers. Washington street railway

who ride and thereby earning enough to
keep lines IN repair, buy new cars, and
pay dividends upon stock and bonds
1t appears that in the cities Of Chicago.
Buffalo. New York. and Montreal a sDe-
cially devised car has been put in opera
ton. which enables Athe conductor to re-
main upon the back platform, collect the
fares of passengers as they enter the
car, and get all that is coming to the
company BY this plan accidents are
avoided. better time is made, the cars
generally are not so crowded, and the
public is better satisfied because better
served.
It is understood that the plan Is being
tried out in Philadelphia with a view to
its installation there.
Special Type OF Car Needed.
For the practical working out of the
plan a special type of car is required,
which enables the passengers to enter at
one end and depart at the other, or en-
ter on one side and get off on the. oppo-
site side. In brief. the plan is as fol-
lows:
First of all, the passengers enter and
leave the cars from one side only. fol-
lowing the system now ia vogue in this
city. They cannot get on the car at the
front platform, as the sliding doer is
opened and shut by means Of a lever

gers entering snd another for those who

HORN
FOR CASTAWAYS

Wilderness islands may yet. be made
to give up their forlorn castaways and
the sea may yet be compelled to sur
render some of the dead who died in
mystery.
Honolulu has about forgotten the
long, long overdue American ship Ar
thur Sewall. sailing from the Atlantic
coast for Honolulu about eighteen
months ago. but her crew has not been
forgotten and a search will be made
for possible survivors, during the
search to find the crews or the wrecks,
or both, of the ships Bangalore,
Adolph Obrig, Falklandbank and Car
nedd Llewellyn, for hope of some of
the lives in the crews of these missing
ships.
On the application of the owners OF
the missing Falklandbank, a Glasgow
ship, and of the owners of the Carnedd
Llewellyn, for a government steamship
to be sent to search for possible sur
vivors, the British Board of Trade has
communicated with the British Foreign
Office which in turn has cabled the
British Minister at Buenos Ayres au-
thorizing him to make the necessary
arrangements for sending a govern
ment steamship to explore the whole
length of the southern South Ameri-
can Coast, particularly around the ISL
and of Terra del FuegO The Bril-
fish minister has also been requested
to make representations to the Chi
lean government with a view to the
latter helping in a search for the
men.
These investigations have been or
dered owing to the report that In
dams have found boat in Good Sue
cess Bay on the Island of Terra del
