RADIUM BANKS

Chemically pure radium is worth
100000 an ounce, consequently
the prohibitve price preventing
ownership by ordinary scientists,
is responsible for the establishing
of unique institution called radium
banks from which small quantities
of the precious substance can be
borrowed. in Great Britain the
cost of the loan of 1000 MILL
grammes is 5000 for the day. and
half of per cent of the value of
the radium for each succeeding day.
There are two radium banks in
existence, one in London and the
other in Paris. Two more are said
to be in contemplation at Berlin
and New York. 1t should be
profitable for the banks, as very
little expense would be connected
with the handling of it and the cost
of the loan could be easily fixed so
as to pay good interest on the
investment. There would be
sufficient demand for it in the large
cites to keep the capital constantly
employed The bank would have
little annoyance from competition.

WHY PREACHER KISSES BRIDE

The nuptial kiss, with a meaning
akin to that of the kiss Of peace
had its origin in a most serious
and practical church ceremony
known as the Espousals. Among
media eval people, as among some
classes Of Jews today, it was
customary for the bridegroom and
bride to NEE, before witness. 8
in the church some days or even
week before the marriage and there
make a pledge of furture union,
and at such times a ring was
usually presented by the prospective
husband. Sometime, however, the
man was too poor to buy the
ornament, and, instead, presented a
kiss, which was doubtless more
pleasant, and was considered a
binding pledge before man and
God.
The custom Of allowing the
preacher to take a kiss along with
his fee had a very different
beginning. In early Catholic days
after the wedding refreshments
had been served, the priest aways
came forward and gave the
husband--think of 1.-THE kiss
of peace, and that gentleman passed
1t on to his wife while at the same

WANTS GUNS FOR ORNAMENTS

Some time ago the Government

the National Guard Of this state

Part of it going to the Presitio

east. This includes the old guns
that were trotted over the state
by the different military companies
and also the gatling gun and the
two old cast cannons that me
Virginia City boys used to parade
with.
All of the outfit is obsolete and
out of date, and would probably
blow the first man off the fa.e of
the earth who attempted to fire
them. -.
Governor Dickerson has written
Senator Newlands to see if it is
possible for the state to retain the
OLD pieces OF lighting machinery as
ornaments to the public park at
the Capitol in this city. The
Governor figures that by placing
the guns on the lawn, where the
kids can ride tn EN- and look over
the ancent pieces, that they will
do more good than if broken u z

Every mothers son has a
natural reverence for old cannons.
1t matters little how useless it is
the feeling is there, ard if the guns
could be placed on the lawns it
would be source of amusement
and satisfaction to the young as
well as the old soldiers.
The pieces are nearly as much out

America and quite as harmless.
