lot known as the Lynch lot, and built
on it in very short time. He was a
fine musician and when he lived in the
West was the drill master of large
choir in Minnesota, he being member
of the church there. About II twelve
years ago he came here from the West
and began to build house and as soon
as it was completed his wife came.
Owing to poor health she only lived
little over three years to enjoy it. Mr..
Harding had been in good health until
about three years ago. Since then he
has been growing more feeble and the
first of August took his bed, the last of
his sickness suffering much. He was
cared for during his illness by Rev. and
Mrs. Kilbourne and Henry Powers, they
giving him what help they could as he
had no relatives, his nephews living in
the west, John l.. Harding of Superior,
and Frank Harding of Durand Wiscon-
sin. He also has one niece, Miss Ella
Sutton, of America, MINI. Mr.. Hard
ing was generous and honorable citi-
zen, and an earnest Christian. He was
faithful member of the Congregational
church. He did a good deal for it when
it was being repaired. In fact ever since
he came here to live he always gave
generously toward its support. He will
not only be missed in the church but by
a number of friends. The funeral was
held at his home Friday, at two o'clock,
Rev. ]. K. Kilbourne officiating. The
many flowers from neighbors and
friends showed the esteem in. which he
was held. By his will his house becomes
the property of the Congregational
church for parsonage.

Eminent Men Busy Investigating Pos

The University of Vienna which has

OF Sciences, an anonymous donation
of 100000 kronen for the establish
ment Of a "Radium institute" is rap
idly becoming famous among ply
sicists for its experimental work on
the wonderful radium emanations The
rarity and great cost of radium neces-
sarily restrict the number of inyes
tigators, and Sir William Ramsay,
who in his recent experiments has
gone far toward proving the suspected
transmutation of radium into helium
and other elements. was recently spe-
cially honored by the Vienna Acade-
my Of Sciences by the loan Of frac-
tion of gramme Of radium for the
purpose OF enabling him to continue
his valuable investigations. A gramme
of radium, it has been calculated. has
stored up in it energy equal to one
horse power for Is days; but it parts
with its energy so slowly-it cannot
be stayed or hurried-that 1t takes
some 10000 years to exhaust itself.

PhotoaraphIna the stars.

In measuring the sensityeness Of
Photographic plates at different tenn
peratures, 50 as 20 determine the best
temperature for star photography, an
English astronomer has discovered the
curious fact that for some plates the
best temperatures for photographing
very faint stars and somewhat bright
er stars are not the same Thus be-
tween "a and rs degrees centigrade
the plate becomes slower for faint
stars when slightly warmed. whereas
at the same time 1t becomes faster
for brighter stars The expert in as
Economical photography will therefore
hereafter regulate the temperature Of
his plates according to the brightness
OF the particular celestial objects on
which he is working.
