LECTURE ON RADIUM.
Dr.. Harvey Exhibits the Only Speci
mems Owned in Washington.

An interesting demonstration was made
before the Homeopathic Medical Society
at the Shoreham last night by Dr. A. K.
P. Harvey, who exhibited the only speci-
mems of radium that are owned in Wash
ington. They weigh only twelve milli-
grams and are worth about 81, 200. The
most powerful of the three is bromide
of radium, which has a radio-activity of
800. 900. 1t is powerful enough to cure
cancer or to take a photograph through
twelve inches of granite.
DR.. Harvey after exhibiting the speci-
mems spoke on their properties. He said
that radium had proved invaluable in the
treatment of cancer and such skin dis
eases as lupus. He sketched the history
of radium in the few years that 1t has
been known, saying that the credit of the
original discovery belonged to the French
scientist, Baccarral. He had identified
and described the element. but it was
Nine. Currie and her husband who first
succeeded in separating it in practical
quantities from German pitchblende.
There was another talk before the So
ciety on special methods in anesthetics
DR.. M. Crichton spoke on the value of
cocaine in surgical operations and recon-
mended its use over any other similar
agent.

FRUIT SnoNiE0S REQUESTED
NOT TO MARKET THEIR
PRODUCT after FRIDAY

In view of the fact that business
of all kinds will be suspended
throughout the state next Monday on
account of the delayed celebration of
the Fourth of July fruit growers and
gardeners of the Canon City district
are urged not to market any Of their
product after Friday, otherwise there
will be a deterioration and loss in
value. Growers should get their
fruits in as early as possible on Fri
day and not pick any more Tuesday.
when the dealers will be ready for
a new supply. By bearing this In
mind growers will save themselves
trouble and financial loss. In this
connection 1t may be stated that some
of the local orchardists have been a
little careless in preparing their fruits
for market. thereby depriving them
selves OF the highest prices, and. at
the same time, giving the community
the reputation among wholesalers as
being an Indifferent packer. It is
especially desired that growers face"
all of their cherries and cover all
gooseberry boxes with paper to pre-
vent the spilling Of the fruit.

A NOISELESS FOURTH OF

certain specified public displaxs m
der the direction of the city asthori-

much opposition on the part Of deal
ers and their friends. 1t was made
a crime punishable with thirty days
in prison or 500 fine for anyone to
sell. buy or have in his possession any
sort of cracker. fireworks. toy pistol
or other forms Of explosive.
