The objection to this is that it is i'm possible for others to obtain at pres- ent even small quantities of radium brimode of known and established purity. The plan used 5sr other iayes- tigators, of expressing he result in the number of ions produced, involves a standard which is uncertain and dir- ficuit to determine. The standard originated by Dr. Boltwood, and for which he is entitled to great credit, is the quantity of radium emanation set free when known weight of ura- nium contained in a natural mineral is dissolved in a suitable reagent. This standard can be readily repro duced, and will permit the reduction of the results to terms of pure radium if that becomes the future basis Of expression. The mineral used by Dr. Boltwood was pure uranite rom Spruce Pine. N. c.

 who held a professorship in. an East ern college of the highest standing, came to Hot Springs and aster may ing a personal investigation of the situation so that he mignt know that lie water to be tested came direct from the hot springs, he procured the quantity desirad and, placing It in airtight containers, proceeded to hls laboratory in the East, where he made q most exhaustive analysis.

 official Report of pr. 5oItwood.
 The Hot Springs Reservation, com prising about 911 acres, belongs to the United States, and is under the Icontrol of the Secretary of the in5e- rior There are about IS springs is- suing from the basel of Hot sprsfss Mountain, of varying degrees of tenn perature and having a combined flow Of about S50,0OO gallons daily. There are twenty-three bath houses receiv- ing water under lease from the Ulited States, besides the government free bath house, for lnaigent persons, ana is managed by superintendent, who maintains order and sees that the ba0h houses are conducted in proper manner. Many thousands of peTsons visit ffot Springs every year for the pudpose of taking the baths, and the government is spending large sums of money in improving and beautiying the Reservation.
 In the introduction of his report, pr. Boltwood gives a lucid and interesting account of the present state of our knowiedge concerning the rapiosactiy- lty of matter. and brief resume of the history of discoveries relating to shis phenomenon. He states that the phenomenon of radio-activity ex- bbited by certain substances consists

Samples of the gas which rose from the springs were also tested, and its radio-actiy- ity was found to be less than tha- or aH eaGal voluma of gas obtained boiling the waters from the springs The following conclusions are reached by Dr. Bdtwood as the results of his inyestigations:
 |. The waters of the springs on the Hot Springs Reservation are all radioactive to a marked degree.
 2. The radio-aetiyity of the waters lis due to dissolved radium emanation Ga gas) and not to the presence of salts of radium or other radioactive solids.
 It was found that the properties of these radioactive gases were identi. cal with those of the radium amumer- ation.
 On the other hand, when water from which the gas had once been taken was boiled a second time after being allowed to stand, no radio-ac- siyity was detdcted in the gas ob- tained from the second boining and it was, therefore, concluded that lir- tie or no radium salts existed in the waters. This conclusion was strongth- ened by the fact that test of tha- left by evaporation also failed to dis close any sign of radio-actiyity Of this solid substance

The em- anation contained in any solid sal of iissoiYing iais, salt in water and boil ing the solution. If the solution IS Ieyaporated to dryHess, the solid salt radfum can bel entidely removed and will again be formed. This freshly prepared salt is found to be only about 25 per cent as radioactive as bhe same salt before the removal of the gas emanation. It's radio-activity, however. will gradually increuse on lstanding until at the end of about one month it's activity will nave reached a maximum beyond which no further change will take place. This increase in the radio-actiylty of the salt is due to the production of fresh quantities of emanation within it. The action of the Bacquera rays may be divided into two general classes. They pro duce a latent image of a photo graphic plate, and they cause gases Through which they pass to become conductors of electricity. They also give rise to water supply of New Ha- ven, Conn.,, which was also found to contain a radioactive gas resembling the radium emanation. Curie anu I.aborde have recently examined the gases given off at certain European mineral springs, and also by the wat lers of the springs on boiling. They
 tound that the gas obtained from the
 o'1.onbncker Spring at Bad Gastein,
 se'"as Was by far the most hignly

 In making an examination os t,,a
 waters of the Hot Springs Reserva. ton, the stmples were collected as Nhe Springs. and placed In sealed glass receptacles. These were ship pdd to New Haven, Conn, where the tests were conducted. The method oc examination used by Dr. Boltwood was to separate she gases and emana- tions from the water by boiling the water in an apparatus which is a
 modification of that described ny Reichardt, after wnich the emanaton ] was measured by an efectroscope somewhat similar to Hhat used by VII. son. In expressing the results Of his experiments, Dr. Boltwood found if necessary to divise a new system of standardization, which will permit the direct comparison of the results ob- tained with the different waters and by different experimenters Curie In his Investigations of European nm eral springs used a standard of quan-

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNOIN

It is said of Gov Folk, that he gave up the use of tobacco, when he was elected governor of Mis- souri, for the sake of his infu- ence over the youth of his state.
 We have in mind others who should have as keen a conscience for the sake of the r influence.
 Everybody nearly, knows of the Jerry McCauley Mission in New York, he being reclaimed from the lowest depts. He said that after his conversion when travl. ing on the trains, he would retire to the smoker to indulge in his pipe. One day he began to study those who betook themselves to this rendezvous. and behold, the drunkard was there, the bum was there, all sorts of folks, were there, and so he decided that if that was the gang he had to sit with to indulge in a habit of no earthly use or attraction he would quit, and forthwith did. He had not learned scientific req son for not using tobacco-only thought it inconsistent with a christian life; that his example should be safe for the little chil- dren to follow.
 What shall we think now when people use it after such teSti- mony as pr. Mevlan of Colum- bia University who declared that an experiment of two years with 223 students, 115 of whom smok ed that the non- smokers had a distinct advantage over the smok. CTS.

WILL FILE ADVERSE
 REPORT ON MONDAY

Little Rock, Feb. 11-To pre- vent the section foreman spend ing the greater part of his fort une in court fees, or the greater part of his time in the bosom of the county lookup, the Public Service Corporations Committee of the House will Monday file an adverse reporto on H. B. 136 by Mir. Owens.
 This bill requires that every employe of a railroad in Arkan- sas shall file with the county clerk every report that is filed with the company. This includes everything from general superin- tendent and general auditor, to the section foreman. A fee of p cents for each filing is also speci fled. For violating this act pun ishment ofnot less than 12 ronths in the county jail is pre-. scribed.
 Clyde Going, of Poinsett, a member of the committee, stated  at it's meeting that should the bill be passed, no railroad in the state could keep section men enough to maintain their lines, while every county jail would be overAowing with ones who had violated it, through ignorance rather than through design.
 The Arkansas Railroad Com mission is already getting the data which this bill would force the railroads to make public, through other sources and the committee did not see any reason for such a stringent measure.

Little Rock, Arkansas, Feb II. The briefs in the rate case of the Cotton Belt and Iron Noun tain railroads against the Arkan- sas Railroad Commission, recent. ly argued, have just been filed with Judge Trieber. The court has not yet indicated when he is likely to render his decision.
 This is the case that deeply concerns the whole state, being a suit to enjoin the enforcement of the rates ordered by the Rail. road Commission. A temporary compromise was affected last fall when the matter first came up, by the terms of which the roads were permitted to put into effect 9 rate 33 1-3 per cent in advance of the Commission rate, and the Rock Island is charging ? 1-2 cents passenger rate and the Iron Mountain cents.
