gets into a cable it will put out of
commission every telephone worked
through the cable. Hundreds of peo-

and the service has to suffer.
Frequently a bullet will put out of
phones. In order to find where the
trouble lies occasionally the cable has
to be examined from one end to the
other. 1t is necessary to dry the damp
air out with boiling not paraffine, and
a new lead sleeve has to be put over
the aperture. 1t necessitates an ex-

RADIUM SUBSTITUTE
One Efficient and Cheap Has Been
Discovered.

New York, Oct. 11.-Since the dis
covery of radium and its value as a
therapeutic agent a few years ago,
laboratory workers have been striving
to find an efficient substitute for this
most costly adjunct to the outfit of
physicians and surgeons and DR.. J. B.
Shober seems to have found one that
is cheap and reliable. The discovery
resulted from his Investigations of the
radio active property of cocoanut
charcoal.
DR.. Shober says he passed a slow
current of air through a celluloid tube
eight and three-quarters of an inch
in diameter, coated on the inside with
a collodian solution containing one
milligramme of strong radium bro
mide, into a porcelain vessel contain
ing a quantity of cocoanut charcoal.
At the end of week he found the
charcoal strongly radio active. dis
charging his electroscope more rapid
~ than would a specimen of high
grade pitch blend ore. He then spread
a quantity of this charcoal over a key
on an X-Ray plate and obtained a
strong picture of the key after an ex-
posture of four days.

SMALL BOY AND HIS RIFLE
Make Trouble for Telephone Company
by Shooting at cables.

There has been considerable complaint
recently in regard to the disregarding
of the city ordinance in respect to the
discharging of firearms within the city
limits. The culprits are for the most
part boys who take delight in making
targets of every conceivable object and
discharging at them missiles from al
most noiseless 22-caliber rifles. The fact
that there is only small report caused
by the discharge of these miniature
guns makes it difficult to catch the Of
tenders of the law in the act.
Complaints are frequently lodged at
the office of the city attorney in re-
spect to promiscuous shooting but only
one recent prosecution has taken place.
A number of youths under 16 years of
age have been turned over to the juven-
lie court, is the statement made by
a prominent Topeka lawyer but the DIFF
ficulty has been that they have been
discharged with reprimand only to
continue to break the law.
w. P. Hemphill, of the Independent
Telephone company, also has a protest
to make in regard to the boys shooting
target rifles in the city limits. He says:
after every rain there are three or
four cases of cables dropping.
THE difficulty is that the boys shoot
