AmnIv Cnmnensated.

The story of the creation of Eve from
a rib taken from Adams body has always
had a peculiar fascination for the Oriental
mind. For centuries both Jewish and
Arabian wits and scholars have delighted
to exercise their ingenuity on this theme.
One of the Jewish legenns that has sur
vived is thus told in Harper'S Weekly:
The great Rabbi GamalieI once brought
the Scriptures OF his nation to the Roman
Emperor, Hadrian, who. after study OF
the sacred books, rashlY retorted to the
rabbi that in the story of Genesis the
Creator was little better than thief, be-
cause He had stolen one of Adams ribs.
GamaIiel was bewildered and perplexed,
but his daughter rose TO the occasion.
"Let me answer the emperor" she
begged, "and will vindicate our holy
writings"
So on the next day she presented her
self before Hadrian.
go Emperor Of the Romans, 4" she
cried, "truly terrible thing has happened,
wherefore We invoke thy aid !"
Hadfian was greatly concerned, and
asked what it was. The Hebrew maiden
replied that at the dead hour of midnight
a thief had subtly and stealthily entered
their abode and had stolen away a silver
flagon, although it was true, she added
that he had lett golden ilagon in its
place.
"Why," cried the Roman Emperor,
"that was no robber, but a benefactor
Would that such a one might rob me-
toop'
The Hebrew maiden smiled subtle
Oriental smile. "Ahp she said, looking
down and bIushing sweety. why
then, do you blame the Creator and ac-
cuse Him of theft, seeing that, if He tool
a rib from Adam, He left him Eve in
stead ?"

Radiuu1.

This element, the most powerful among
the so-calIed radioactive substances,
has been used tentatively in the treatment
of disease for a number OF years, but il is
only within comparatively recent time
that il has attracted attention as a remedy
Of real value.
One reason why so little has been done
with il is that it is extremely rare and eX-
pensive. A ton of pitchblende, the sub
stance from which radium is derived,
contains only four or iive grains OF ra-
dium. The search for the needle in the
haystack is easy in comparison with the
task OF extracting radium, and sufficient
amount for any use in medicine costs ma
nv hundreds of dollars. Recently, in the
larger cities OF the world, so-called "ra-
dunn institutes" have been established.
These are institutions with money enough
TO buy radium in large quantity, that IS,
perhaps as much as twenty or thirty
grains, with which TO treat all who apply,
and even 10 lend few grains to physi-
clans who may desire il for the treatment
Of their personal patients.
The action of radium is very similar 10
that of the X-ray. although il differs IN
some respects. Hitherto IFS chief use has
been in the treatment OF cancer, and by 1t
some actual cures have been obtained. 1t
is also used before and after operations
for the removal OF malignant tunors, to
prevent their recurrence. Many skin
diseases, such as eczema and lupus,
have been successfully treated by expos
ure TO radium.
The substance is used only in glass
tubes or mixed with varnish painted on
metal applicators Of various shapes.
Water containing radioactive substances
has been applied in baths and hypoder-
mic injections. In such cases the good
effects are produced not by the radium
itself, but by gas given off from 1.-THE
so-called radium enanation. Water SO
impregnated is used TO reduce nlgn olooo-
pressure, which is thought to be one OF
the causes Of the hardening OF the walls
of the arteries, and in the treatment OF
rheumatism and of that disordered con-
dition OF the system commonly termed
the uric-acid diathesis.
There are other conditions in which
radium has been employed with apparent
benefit, but the use Of the remedy is still
in an experimental state. The careful
study that is now made possible by the
establishment Of the radium institutes re-
ferred to will, however, without doubt.
soon establish more definitely the limits
Of the therapeutic application OF this
strange substance.

An Efficient Burgiar-AIarm.

In South Dakota there is a bank cashier
with taste for chemistry who no longer
lies awake at night worrying sthis bank
be robbed, He has added TO his pro-
tective devices an attachment TO his safe
that is described in Technical Notes.
Some years ago he conceived the idea
that il bottle OF some strong chemical
were placed between the outer and inner
doors Of the vault, il would almost in
evitably be broken by burglars attempt
ing to gain entrance TO the safe, and the
fumes of the chemical would retard the
work OF safe-breakers, or even drive
them away.
A quart bottle of formaldehyde was
placed as a silent night watchman be-
tween the doors OF the vault.
For five years nothing happened.
Then, early in November, 1910, the test
came. Professional cracksmen entered
the town, and used two charges OF nitro
glycenn on the safe. The first one did
little damage, but the second wrecked
both the outer and inner doors, and OF
course shattered the bottle OF fonmalde-
hyde. The burglars did not wait to
wreck the inner safe. Choking and gasp
ing with tears streaming from their eyes.
they scrambled out of the window by
which they had entered, and left tracks
down the peaceful country highway that
fairly sizzled.
For days after the explosion The fumes
Of formaldehyde were so strong that a
man could not breathe in the vault.

The Toll of the Jungle.

India still pays its annual tribute OF hui
man life TO the jungle. In fact, the NUM-
Der of deaths from snake-bte or the at
tacks of wild animals has steadily increaS-
ed during the last three yearS-a fact
which the London Times attributes to the
great floods. The rising waters have
driven the serpents out OF the lowlandS,
up into the villages, and have diminished,
through drowning, the natural food-sup-
ply of the larger wild beasts.
In 1910 fifty-five persons were killed
by elephants, twenty-five by hyenas, one
hundred and nine by bears, three hun
dred and fifty-one by leopards, three
hundred and nineteen by wolves, eight
hundred and fifty-three by tigers, and
six hundred and eighty-eight by other
ANIMALS, including wild pigs. No less
than twenty-five thousand four hundred
and seventy-eight died from the bite of
poisonous snakes. The grand total OF
mortality is twenty-four thousand eight
hundred and seventy eight.
During the same year ninety-three
thousand cattle were also killed by. wild
beasts or snakes.
The losses on the part OF the inhabit-
ants of the jungle were nearly but not
quite as great as those OF their human
enemies and the domesticated animals
combined. Ninety-one thousand one
hundred and four snakes and over nine
teen thousand wild beasts of various kinds
were killed.
The Times also reports that great
many cases of snake-bite were success
fully treated with the Brunton lancet and
permanganate OF potash, but that it is,
nevertheless, impossible to assert the
value of this treatment, since no one
knows whether all-or even a very>large
number-of the cases treated were caus-
ed by the bites OF really venomous
snakes.

Artificial Wood.

Mr.. Louis Care, in England, has in
vented process for the artificial produc-
ton of wood from straw or dried grass.
1t is proposed TO use the wood only in
the manufacture of matches, for which
purpose il is said to be cheaper than nat
ural wood. The straw is passed through
crushing-rolls and then through cylindri-
cal cutters, which divide if into strips.
Afterward, supplied with an adhesive,
the strips, enclosed on top and bottom
with layers of paper, are passed between
other rolls, and through linked molds in
the form of a chain, where they are sub
iected to pressure and heat, from which
they issue in the form OF round splints'
which are then cut into the proper length
for matches. 1t is hoped the process may
be applied to the manufacture OF wood
for other purposes.

The Mission of a Prisoner.

Sixteen years ago, in dexaS, man
named Paul Graynor killed another man
in disreputable quarrel. After hard
fight in court, he was sentenced to be
hanged; but he obtained new trial, and
having been found guilty, was this time
sentenced to Imprisonment for forty
years. He has now been in the State
prison fifteen years.
After his Imprisonment change came
over the man. Ii was not merely sorrow
and penitence for his crime, but COM
plete change of heart and purpose. He
accepted his lot and undertook TO make
the best use possible OF his opportunities.
He became sort of prison evangelist.
Under his influence at least fifteen con-
victS have been converted, and having
completed their terms of sentence, are
leading useful lives; twenty-five still in
the prison give good reason for believing
that they will become righteous men and
useful citizens.
He has done more than preach. He
has organized classes and taught Stenog-
raphy. Six of his pupils now hold
good positions, four of them as court
stenographers. He has also taught Span
ish, bookkeeping and commercial arith-
metic. His school within the prison has
become door of hope TO many OF his
fellow convicts.
Recently an effort was made to secure
a pardon for Graynor. As his behavior
in prison has been above reproach, there
was no difficulty in winning official ap-
proval of the undertaking. Prison Off
cials and friends outside agreed in rec
ommending the pardon.
The application went before the Gov
ernor of Texas, who, after an examina-
ton of the papers, gave his consent.
The young convict, after having served
fifteen of the forty years, was al liberty 10
90 forth free man.
But now comes the StrangeSt and most
interesting part OF the story. Graynorre-
fused to accept a pardon.
Happy as he must have been that lib
erty was within his reach, and that he
had so lived as thus TO commend himself
TO the authorities of the prison and the
commonwealth, he still refused to accept
the pardon. He sent word TO the gover-
nor that he was worth nothing to the
world outside, but that within the prison
walls he had found place OF usefulness
among his fellow convictS.
So he faces the coming twenty-five
years behind the bars, with rejoicing that
thus he may fulfil his mission among
those whom he can assist toward lives OF
hope and usefulness.
The lesson OF this mans life is full OF
encouragement. The secret OF it is the
spirit TO conquer difficulties and break
material bonds. The reason he is willing
to remain in prison is because he has
long since escaped from prison.
Stone walls do not q prison make,
Nor iron bars cage.
Many life that suffers from inevitable
limitations which constitute life imprls-
onment amid uncongenial surroundings,
might become radiant and beautiful if it
could discover the secret Of this convict.
Many heart beating its life out in una
vailing protest against its unhappy con-
ditions might become blessed in becom-
ing blessing to others.

When David strung the shepherd harp.
To soothe the maddened monarchs brain,
How sweet the melody which flowed
To lure away the royal pain
The troubled monarch heard the singers song.
His tortured mind grew calm; his heart grew

For ancient Iudah's stricken prince
Since through the world has ever rung
To charm TO comfort. TO convince
million hearts. like Sauls. have lived again
Beneath that shepherd harp's surviving strain.
