RADIUM SUPPLY GROWS, AND
PRICE DROPS TO $2,10O,000
Cornwall Mines Found to Contain the
Precious Substance.

Sir William Ramsay in a recent
London lecture stated that radium
now costs S2.1OO.OOO an ounce. the
drop in price from s3.0oO.oOO being
due to the work in the pitchblende
mines of Cornwall. which is showing
such satisfactory results that con-
tinuOus supply Of radium is absolutely
assured.
In reference to the work at the
mines Sir Villa III announces that up
to the present time $50 milligrams Of
pure radiu:n have been produced at
the Trenwith miueS. near ST. Ives.
The process IF the extraction Of ra-
dunn from the pitchblende employed
by Sir William is 50 rapid that the
amount Of :adium secured by this
method in two months would take a
year by the latest method used on the
Continent
\ year ago there was about quar-
ter Of pound Of radum in the world.
\ radium bank has existed for some
time in Paris. Recently one was es-
tablished in London. and similar In
stitutions are being founded in other
great cities. These banks lend the
precious substance to scientists and
physicians The cost is enormous. AS
much as 5000 has been charged for the
use of 100 milligrams for single day.

BREAKS A COLD
IN SEVERAL HOURS

There is not one grain of quinine
in Pape's Cold Compound, which,
when taken every two hours, until
three consecutive doses are taken,
will surely end the grippe and break
up he most severe cold, either in the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle neuralgia pains, headache,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up,
feverishness, sneezing, sore throat,
running of the nose, catarrhal afec-
tons, soreness, stiffness and rheu-
matte twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of there years research at cost
of more than fifty thousand dollars,
and contains no quinine, which we
have conclusively demonstrated is
not effective in the treatment of colds
or grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end the grippe mis-
cry as promptly and without any 9TH
err assistance or bad after effects as
a rs cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

RICE PAPER.
Shaved From tho Snow White Pith Of

Shaved From tho Snow White Pith Of
Trees In Formosa.
The so called rice paper is not made
from rice, as it's name implies, but
from the snow white pith Of small
tree belonging to the genus aralia. a
genus represented in this country by
the common sarsaparilla and the
spikenard. The tree grows in Formo-
50 and, so far as is known, nowhere
else. The stems are transported to
China, and there the rice paper Is
made. 1t is used, aside from a num-
Der Of other purposes, by the native
artists for water color drawings, and
sometimes it is dyed in various colors
and made into artificial flowers.
The tools Of the pith worker com
prise q smooth stone about foot
square and a large knife or Ratchet
with short wooden handle. The
blade is about foot long two inches
broad and nearly half an inch thick at
the back and it is as sharp as a razor.

the top, the pith worker will roll the
pith backward and forward for mo-
ment until he gets it in the required
position Then. scizing the knife with
his right hand. he will hold the edge
Of the blade after a fcint or two close
to the pith. which he will keep rolling
to the left with his left hand until
nothing remains to unroll, for the plth

Of uniform thickness. All that re-
mains to be done is to square the

Old Man Of the Mou ntain.

The title odd Man Of the Mountain
was first applied to Hassan Ben Sab
BAL who founded a formida bic dynas-
ty in Syria A. D. 1000. He was the
prince or chief of the sect of the Mo-
hammedans. Having been banished
from his country. he took up his abode
in Mount Lebanon and gathered round
him band of followers. who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that if they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys of
paradise. For 200 years these "assas-
sins.' as they called themselves. con-
tinued to be the terror of the country.
Whenever their chief. the "Old Man
Of the Mountain" considered himself
injured he dispatched some of bis as
sassins secretly to murder the aggres-
sor. This is the origin of our use of the
word assassin for a secret murderer
