HOW MUCH RAD1uM Is THEREp
Thousands of Tons Dissolved in the
Waters of the Sea.

Prof John Jolly, in Harper's.
The reader may readily convince him.
self that some Of the results arrived at
and which appear most startling are
mere questions of the use Of the multi
plication table. Thus, IL the statement
that the quantity of radium in a
cubic centimeter of sea water Is OF
the order Of the hundredth part Of
the billionth Of gram Is considered
along with the number of cubic cent?
meters of sea water in the ocean. it will
be found that the startling statement that
10000 tons Of radium exist dissolved in
the waters Of the seas Is fully justified.
Again. but by somewhat longer train
Of reasoning, but still with no more
mathematics than simple arithmetic, no
more knowledge of geology than the ele-
mentary facts of solvent denudation 1t
may be shown that there must be more
than a million tons of radium contained
in the sediments which are deposited over
the floor of the ocean.
The great quantities of radium which
We have just concluded to exist In the
ocean and it's sediments are, of course.
derived by denudative processes from the
rocks. We can. indeed, detect the radio
active materials in the rivers on their
way to the ocean. Yet this great &C
emulation represents but trifiing spo-
liation Of the rocks, the forces of denuda-
ton affecting, relatively speaking, the
mere surface. We are logically bound to
conclude that downward in the materials
from which all this radium has been de-
rived further stores Of radium exist. In
deed, observations do not as yet afford
any limit to the downward extension of
radio-activity. The Simplon tunnel pene-
trates ancient sediments and gneisses
at a depth Of one and a half miles
from the surface, and the st. Goth
ard reaches into materials of I'M
known origin forming the core of the
great massif: yet the radium is still there;
In the Simplon rather more than the aver
age in quantity. 1t occurs in igneous
rocks of every sort. Such indisputable
facts lead us to ask whether. indeed,
there is any limit to the downward eX-
tension of such quantities of radium.
We easily show that there is a limit, and
one which must be reached but a few
miles beneath the surface. This is very
important conclusion.

Rhythm, counterpart and Form.
Arthur Farwell in Circle Magazine.
1t Is important to bear in mind that
to be a judge of music it is not suff1-
Client to understand the principles Of the
great masterworks of the past, neces-
sary as that is, as foundation: we must
be in a position to make an intelligent
estimate Of entirely new works.
To this end. let us ask, What Is music
made of? First OF all, melody. But
melody has rhythm, so there are two
elements to begin with. TO support the
melody we build substructure of har-
mony. But melody, tune. is short.
and to create a musical art, to make an
extended composition, we prolong the
chief melody, or the secondary melodies
which we introduce, by means of coun-
terpoint. But in this extension of our
musical material into a complete COM

named-it must also have a spirit.
To be judges Of music, then. we must
in some measure be judges Of each Of

is made-namely. melody, harmony.

After telling us what these compo-
nent parts of good music mean taken
separately and in relation to each other,
Mr.. Farwell ends with the following
paragraph:

What It Is to Be Drunk
rom the New York World

An authoritative definition Of what con-
stitutes drunkenness has long been needed
and the want is now supplied by Judge
Hart OF Nashville. who is hearing testi-
mony in the Carmack murder case. On
the question of the fitness Of juror who
nabitually uses intoxicants Judge Hart
ruled that "a man Is drunk when he is
SO much under the influence of liquor that
he becomes a nuisance to the general
public"
An old view of drunkenness which has
had wide acceptance was that man is
not drunk so long as he can lie down
without holding on. British justice has
recently held that a man cannot be re-
garded as drunk if he can find his way
home alone. These presidents are now
further amplitied though the Nashville
decision is subject to appeal and review
by the higher courts.
1t is obvious that between the extremes

ton, of Michelangelo's Moses in Rome
After the throwing was over he asked
How often have you seen it," "Oh
half dozen times" Stodart Walker an
swered with confidence on his side as to
the result of such a reminder. Good
heavens. Ruskin cried, mo man should
dare to give an opinion on any work Of
art unless he has seen it every day for
six months" adding after pause, "and
even then he should hold his tongue If he
has used his eyes as you seem to have
used them"

The protection of farmers and others
who are exposed to the heat a great deal
is serious and difficult matter Cancer

large proportion of the cases, many of
them being due to the direct effects Of
sunlight on the face and hands. A full
beard for the farmer is most desirable
for his protection.

GREAT DETERIORATION.
Journal of Commerce Report on Cot

Estimated at sc / er Cent.

New York, Aug. 31.-The Journal
of Commerce will tomorrow publish
its September report on the cotton
condition. It will present a dlscour-
aging outlook From replies Of nearly
LOO correspondents Of an average
date of August "a, a condition OF DO
per cent is obtained, which compares
with 73.1 last month and 78.l year
AGO. The plant has, therefore, deterl-
GRATED IL. which has only once been
exceeded in the nine years since the
Journal Of Commerce special reports
were inaugurated, namely, in 1902,
when it fell S.6. Other years when
the loss closely approached thls tlg-
ure were 1904, condition then falling
I points. and 1908 and 1901, when the
loss was 5.5 and 81, respectively.
North Carolina during August showed
an improvement in condition OF 3.3
to 70; but otherwise all States showed
losses. South Carolina declining O.9
to 76.l; Georgia, 1.6 to I'll; Florida,
1913 to 72.7; Alabama, 0.S to 68.2;

The destructive work Of the boil
veevil. which made havoc with the
crop earlier in the season IN Texas,
Arkansas and Louisiana, was checked
by prolonged drouth and heat; and by
many correspondents these raVases
are considered practically stopped.

COTTON CROP BROKE RECORD.
Secretary Hester's Report Gives Pro-
duction for 1908-09 as $685.
457 Bales.

New Orleans. August 3l.-Statistics
showing that more cotton was handled
during the commercial year ending
at midnight to-day than ever before.
and that all records had been broken
IN the amount Of cotton consumed by
Southern mills were the features of
the annual crop statement Of Secre-
tary Hester. Of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange. The document forms
the preliminary report Of Secretary
Hester's annual review Of the com
mercial year.
The count Of the commercial crop
showed it TO be the largest on record,
l3,025,457 bales. The previous largest
commercial crop was l3,563,SS5, mar
keted in l904-03. Last season. total
was only l1,51l 1866.
The very large total for this year s
crop was 4 surprise TO the trade. in
cludin2 both The bulls and the bears,
and if the figures had been issued
while trading was going on: it is
probable that they would have had a
depressing effect on prices.
The most important feature in the
report. mex, to the size Of the crop it.
self, was the statement on the amount
Of cotton consumed by Southern mills
during the season which closed today.
Here all the records were broken
again. tie total being 2.559,973 bales.
This poin; was regarded by the bulls
as being of even more Importance than
the size of the crop itself. 1t was ta-
ken As official confirmation of the
many stories Of the great expansion
Of cotton manufacturing in the South.
The figures compared with 2,193,OOO
last season and 2,439, 1000 two seasons
ago.
In the point of port receipts anoth-
er record was broken. Net receipts at
all ports Of the season were put at

was recovered later by a posse sent
on a special train. When the train
was leaving he called out:
"Good-bye and good luck; l hope
to see you again
1t was reported tonight that in ad-
dition to the missing pennies several
thousand dollars in currency was
missing. but the express company Of
fcials refuse to announce the exact
amount of their loss.
Again Hanlaker, Of Lewiston, sent
as afe to the scene of the robbery to
receive six bags Of pennies, on which
the seals had not been broken, but
which had been cut open with sharp
knife to ascertain the contents and
abandoned by the robber In disgust.
With practically every detective
and officer employed by the railroad,
assisted by special detectives employ

by Pennsylvania officers that his ap-

The highwayman, it is said, took

from the car, and all Of this has been
found along the rails but $O5.
