SIR THOMAS ARGUMENT.
Upton Says It Is Dangerous to Sail a
Racing Yacht Across the Ocean.

Racing Yacht ACROSS the ocean.
Sir Thomas Upton has come over
again TO the United States to see
whether a race for the Americas cup
in 1911 cannot be arranged. Sir Thorn
as has already instructed William Fife
of Scotland to draw up plans for rae
ing yacht and will place another order
with Alfred Milne for a second boat.
provided his challenge is fayorably re-
ceived. During a recent visit of ex-
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston to Eng
land he expressed a willingness to
build his yacht on this side of the
ocean from designs of British yacht
builders. This suggestion is radical
departure from precedents in connec-
ton with challengers for the Ameri-
cas- cup.
The deed of gift Of the Americas
cup to the New York Yacht club stipu-
lates that a challenger for the Ameri-
cas- cup must be made with a yacht
or vessel propelled by sails only and
constructed in the country to which
the challenging club belongs" This
clause, however. may be abrogated by
mutual agreement by another clause.
According to Sir Thomas. it is not
only impracticable, but also dangerous.
to send racing yacht across the wa
ter and that the stand of the New
York Yacht club concerning a race for
the Americas cup is inconsistent with
true sport and that, while be does not
ask any favors. he Is anxious to have
such rules as will insure fair contest
without either boat having any advan-
tage. He is willing to build a boat to
race under the universal rule, which
is the rule that governs all yacht rae

DISAPPOINTMENT FOR FRANCE
chagrined by Loss of Military Balloon
After Its Value Had Been Proved.

Chaarined by Loss of Military Balloon
After Its Value Had Been Proved.
The destruction recently Of the French
military balloon La Republique, which
fell from a great height and was
smashed into fragments, while the four
members of her crew were killed, has
brought great grief and yexation to the
minds Of the French army leaders. The
loss Is not, however, irreparable. A day
or two after the accident Messrs. Paul
and Pierre Lebaudy wrote to the min
lister OF war offering to the@rmy new
dlrigible to replace La Republique. The
offer was accepted, and the construc-
ton is being hurried along. France,
besides, has several other military dir
igibles.
But the loss of La Republique is still
viewed as a most irritating check. II
not as a military disaster. 1t hap
.,ened at most untoward time. Never
before had army men attached so much
importance to the possession Of an eff
ficient aerostat, and never before had
they been so convinced that La Repub-
lique was fairly up TO the work re-
qulred of her. She was q good aerial
scout II France had been engaged in
war La Republique would have been
of enormous service in campaigning.
The airship had just been tried out In
the course of the army maneuvers, and
she proved a success. She got into ac-
tive service In the last days Of the ma
neuvers. She met with an accident on
her way to the field of operations, but
even this circumstance figures in her
favor in the final casting up of results,
for the crew attached to her, with some
help from the engineer corps, succeed
ed In making radical repairs without
sending her back to the factory. Thus
1t was established that she was capable
of encountering the ordinary hazards of
the field and was not likely to be put
out of service by minor mishaps. The
success of the crew Of La Republlque
in observing the movements of the ZEN
envy" had met with great praise.

half as thick at the top, are built en-
tirely of marble. The basement is sur
rounded by a range of semicircular
arches supported by fifteen columns,

NOW FOR THE SOUTH POLE.
Plans of the English Expedition Com
nanded by Captain r. r. Scott.

handed by Captain r. r. Scott.
English dispatches leave no room for
doubt Of the English determination to
do everything that money and trained
explorers can do to solve the riddle
of the antarctic regions. Within a
few months 1t is expected that the
famous commander Of the Discovery
expedition of 1904, Captain Robert
r. Scott, will be at the head of well
fitted ship ready to sail from England
wis the firm determination of mailing
the union jack to the south pole. Cap
tain Scott has appealed to the British
nation for 100000 to equip his expe-
dition, and he has the united assistance
of the press behind him In asking for
donations that the honor Of finding the
pole at the other end Of the world shall
be gained by an Englishman.
Captain K. r. Scott's antarctic ex-
petition is now complete so far as the
selection Of officers and men Is con-
cerned, and even the ship has been Sc
cured, though not yet paid for.
The vessel is the Terra Nova, the
largest and strongest of the old Scot
fish whalers. She Is considered the
best ship ever launched for the Green
land whale trade. In 1903 she was
purchased by the admiralty as a relief
ship for the Discovery expedition. Two
years later she was in the service of
a north pole expedition on visit TO
Franz Josef Land.

confidently looking to, is ten years
younger than Commander Peary, be-

NEW SOURCE OF RADIUM.
English Engineer Says There Is One
In PORTUGAL.

That the recent discovery of rich ore
deposits In Portugal viii make possible
for the first time the manufacture of
radium in quantities sufficiently large
for commercial use is the assertion of
Harry March. young English civil
engineer. who has come to this coun-
try in the hope of interesting Ameri-
can scientists and American capital In
the Portuguese mines. He has brought
with him u boxful of ore, specimens of
which have been examined by miner
alogists here and abroad, who declare
that the mineral contains large Qdanti-
ties OF crystalline uranite, or what is
technically known as autunite, the sub
stance from which radium is ex-
tracted.
Professor James r, Kemp. head of
the department of geology ut Column
bia, and other members OF the staff
have seen some of the specimens.
According TO one analyst, Allen f.
Walden of the chemical department of
Oxford university. who subjected the
mineral TO the usual scientific tests for
AdhAhlls II 10 GoNlhlhANN mat llC VIC
contains nearly TO milligrams of ra-
dunn TO the ton, new record. The
ore itself he found to be made up of
quartz thickly crusted with yellow
crystals. These crystals when exam
ined proved to contain uranium, cal
cium and phosphoric acid. and there
was no trace of other metallic or acid
impurities.
Up to the time Of the discovery Of
the Portuguese deposits the chief ore
from which radium was extracted was
pitchblende. considerable quantities OF
which are found in Bohemia and in
Cornwall. England. The amount of ra-
dunn producing material In this sub.
stance. according TO Mr.. March. Is
about 6 per cent whereas the ore OBJ
tanned from Portugal has been tested
and found to contain SO per cent of
oxide Of uranium. e. b. Barboni, a
French chemist after subjecting the
new mineral 10 careful tests, declared
that by reason OF the ease with which
It could be treated ii was in his opin-
ion lat least three times superior
