COPYRIGHT FOR HOUSES.

The strangest copyright question ever de-
bated came before a Paris court when It
was asked 10 decide the controverted copy
right of q mouse An architect at Bou-
loeue-sur- Seine had built several apart
ment houses on piece OF ground belong
ing TO him. aud had devised an original
facade OF colored bricks He. at least, con
sidered II original. a. when the houses
we're finished he had a plate, with an in
ecription, placed on the walls. 10 the effect
that the facade of the houses was his copy
right and limitations were prohibited. See
ing a building IN Paris. some time after
wards. which had Just been completed. the
architect thought that the facade. which
v,as also OF cOlOred bricks, was nothing
hut am Imitation Of his own. He began
a lawsuit against the owner and the archi-
tect for infringement OF the copyright laws.
Inn soon afterWard he died. His heirs.
however, continued the lawsuit, which has
nov been decided by the court Three ex-
merits were called They agreed that the
facade OF the houses al Boulogne-sur- Seine
was peculiar, and might even be allowed
the protection of the copyright laws but
ON the other hand. the house built In Paris
was equally original, anu there was no
proof that II had been copied from the
others The architect, or rather his heirs
therefore lost their case.-Pari5 Letter to
The London Telegraph.

THE RADIUM MARKET
An Official Report on the Supply and

Since the discovery OF radium and the
powerful action of its rays, governments
as we'll as numerous private enterprises
have endeavored to discover or acquire
suitable sources of this valuable product,

Dresden While governments are Irompt-

individuals to a very great extent are at

which is low considering the value of the

! A radium bank was established i'm Paris
| a short time ago. which in 1910 disposed of
! .92 grams OF radium OF highest activity at
| $4,000 a gram. OF that quantity $1,000
worth has been acquired for industrial
purposes and $4,000 worth for use in thera-
peutics.

Z the world. IN consequence of this property
a hiring system has been developed, a pro-
cedure which VIII naturally hamper the

I The production of radium IS dependent
to a great extent upon the production Of
uranium and as tho present output of the
latter metal IS still needed 10 meet the de-
mand FOR uranium color manufacture. an

the erection of hideous trolley poles.
