BILL IS NOW WITH
 THE PRESIDENT
Congressman Robinson Wires That Conference Report Is Approved in the
 National House-Bill Amended by Senator Clark.

w. N. Trulock, one Of the commits
 sioners of Paving District No. 25, which has the river Improvement work here in charge, yesterday re- ceived a telegram from Congressman Joe T. Robinson, at Washington, tell ing of the approval of the conference report by the house of representatives, in which is included S97,000 appro- priation for river work here. The ap- propriation was included in the rivers and harbors bill, which has been sent to President Roosevelt for signature. All the Arkansas congressman and Senators James P. Clarke and Jefi Davis personally urged the passage oi the rivers and harbors bill because Of the local and other Arkansas appro- priations for river work. After the measure had been passed in. the house, Senator Clarke amended 1t in the senate to include an appropria- tion for survey of the Arkansas river, This feature of the bill had to meet the approval of the house and the conference report being approved the measure was sent to the Presi- dent for his signature. The news ot the passage of the rivers and har- bors bill was gladly received here, for the $e7,0oo appropriation means nermanent river revetments here and will prevent further caving of tha river bank at this point

Substitute FOR RADIUH.

few weeks ago dispatches from New Or
leans credited two Chicago men who were at
tending a medical convention there with hav-
Ing found substance possessing all the virtues
and none of the faults Of radum. The new ma
terial. It was said. was derived from Colorado
pitchblende, was abundant and cheap. and could
be used successfully as a remedy for those dis
orders which radium is supposed 10 mitigate.
The story which otherwise might well have
been permitted TO pass without notice, has
drawn fresh attention to the well attested
though partial resemblance between radium and
thorium and 10 the possibility that this similar
ity may yet he utilized for practical purposes.
Mr. Frederick Soddy. Il high authority on the
phenomena Of radio-activity, discusses the sub
ject In a recent number of Mature"
The first discovery that any of the chemical
elements gave off an invisible radiation which
would affect Photographic plate was made by
Becquerei. It was further study of that char
acteristic of uranium by Nine. Curie which led
her TO find two other elements. previously un-
known and showing the trait even more con-
spicuously. Shortly afterward it was observed
that still another element thOrium, with which
chemists had long been acquainted, was also
radioactive. Like uranium. it gave off alpha"
and beta" rays. Radium emits both Of these,
and gamma" rays in addition. Mr.. Soddy now
says that substance which at first gives off
Only |DeEd rays. nut a JeTNdTu NIeiuS diHHt
rays, also can be separated easily from the
salts Of the thorium Of commerce. The product
TO which he refers is "meso-t thorium." and in
time it spontaneously changes into "radio-thO-
rum" The former gives off the beta" rays
and the latter the alpha" rays. Mr. Soddy
therefore urges American and German manu-
facturers who supply the market with thorum
70 effect the separation.
Thorium is the chief material used in the pro-
ductiOn Of the Wesbach gas mantles. It is
found in considerable quantities in North Caro-
lima, being present In a mineral known as mona
zite. Europe has its own deposits, and an ad-
dition TO the worlds supply has recently been
made by Ceylon 1t is vet to he demonstrated
whether ''radio-th0rium.' which is less power
full than radium will exert perceptible cura-
tive influence not manifested by the X-ray tube
without some evidence of that sort there would
hardly be a sufficient demand for it 70 warrant
offering II TO the profession. Mr.. Soddy's adj
vice however. may serve double purpose It
may lead 10 new tests of what would probably
he reasonably inexpensive commodity when
manufactured on a large scale and inspire those
who are in a position to do so 10 find out how
cheaply they can produce 1t.

NOTHING TO JUSTIFY REMOVAL


The action of Governor Hughes in the case OF
District Attorney Jerome was fully expecfed
No other action was possible. The charges
brought hy the King committee were mere
warnl-over of newspaper talk and muckrakerS
gossin. Many of them were without pertnence
and all of them were presented without proper
consideration. The effort seemed to be merely
m give the gravity of charges TO the Governor
IN everything that was said in disparagement or
Mr. Jerome. whether OF not the accusers were in
q position to present any evidence in support OF
their accusations The hearing before Commits
sioner Hand disclosed the utter incapacity OF
the King committee to make out It's case.
Rut the Governors action is not certhcate
that public disappointment with the D1strlct Al
tornev is unwarranted. 1t does not restore the
high and general appreciation he once enjoyed
II does not prove that he has made the most or
his office. AS the Governor himself describes the
limited significance Of his action, ''in considering
charges against a District Attorney the ques-
etion is whether the District Attorney
"has been guilty of such misconduct and neglect
"of duty as 10 require or justify his removal
..frou Office" and he concludes that nothing mas
Gheen shown which would justify his removal
s.from Office" Public opinion, going step fur-
tber in Mr. Jerome's favor, will say that ne mas
done nothing TO deserve removal from office; but
beyond that it will not go.

that the deyiations did not add much more Chan
one-fifth TO his route.
The worst obstacle which Lieutenant snack
Teton encountered seems TO have been an I'M
mense glacier. When its position has been
charted. n way may be found to avoid 1t in the
future Indeed. If the explorer had been anle
to establish his base of operations where ne
intended in King Edward VII Land. his task
might have been simpified. The region to the
westward of that remarkable indentaton IN
the coast of Antarctica known as Ross sea
named after Queen Victoria has been pretty
we'll explored. The region on the other slde'
King Edward VII Land. has not been examined.
because it has not been possible to get on shore
there the belt of floating ice along the coast
being too formidable barrier. II this couid
once be penetrated or its surface traversed so
that camp could be established where Lieu
tenant Shackleton wished, there is at least
one chance in two that an easier route u lile
pole would be available.
# was once supposed that Ross Sea was
bounded on the south by land, but the Ice bar
rfer is so wide that no one has been able TO
verify the theory. OF late there have been sug-
gestions that a glacier of considerable breadth
flowing from the southwark, ends there Ihe
new surmise still lacks cOnfrmat1on-at least
so far as the world has been permitted to know
-but there is a possibility, not TO say proba-
-bility, that only little to the eastward or the
path followed by Lieutenant Shackleton there
is a smoother one. Sooner or later the truth
will be learned Inasmuch as the French ex-
plorer Dr. Charcot is approaching King Ed
ward VII Land by the Cape Horn route, he may
settle the question within the next year or two
Still on some accounts, It might be wished that
exploration on the eastern shores OF Ross Sea
and the actual discovery Of the South Pole
were reserved for the man who has come so
near to performing both feats.
