The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1912-03-28

through steel, the safe was lined with |
lead, this being the only metal radium !
cannot penetrate. In order to prevent
the loss of the emanations when the
safe is opened two valves have been
inserted and tubes containing mercu-
ry are pushed through before the door
is opened these tubes collect and store
the emanations.
When radium was first discovered
it was thought to be impossible to
isolate the pure metal from the salts.
However. Nine. Curie, working in
collaboration with Prof. Debierne,
after numerous experiments, has sue
ceeded in obtaining an infinitesimal
piece of the pure metal, and the speci-
men that exists up-to-date has been
confined in vacuum in glass tube.
1t was by experimenting on one
and half grain of salts of radium,
| which had been extracted with great
care, that the two scientists arrived
! at the result. This minute body was
treated by amaleamation by means Of
an electrolytic process.
The enormous energey created by
this metal is being studied by some
of the foremost scientists of the day.
How can this energy be made avail
able for practical use, is the question
that is being discussed.
/ Sir. William Ramsay, in an address
before the British Association, stat
ed that the energy in ton Of radium
would suffice to propela ship of Is, 900
tons with engines Of $4,000 horse
power at the rate of fifteen knots an
hour for thirty years.
1 1t is estimated that the supply OF
this metal that exists up p-to-date is less
than pound. The question is, where
J are we to get a ton from?
i Another interesting problem pre-
sents itself, viz: how to handle large
quantities of radium with compare
, tive safety. Bacteria, insects and mice
, have been killed by its rays; some
| plants have been killed while others
, have benefited into abnormal growth
by its influence; it is hard to account
, for this phenomenon.
It's greater use seems to be as {
motive lower Where thousands o.
tons of coal are now used in order tt
create energy for the propulsion o
various vehicles, ounces of radiun
would suffice for the same purpose
The steam engine will have becom
{ thing of the past; coal will not b
worth the trouble of mining it, AM
smoke would be reduced to a mini
!, mum.
= All this is no idle conjecture; al
: these things may be made possibl
:. by the introduction of some suitabl
- container. As radium is no respecte
of ordinary subjects, some new sub
stance capable of withstanding th
!, energy created by this metal must b
devised.

Jimmy Perry and Jack Robinson will
wind up their training today and take
a day of rest tomorrow in order to be
in the best of condition for tomorrow's
scrap at the Gate City Athletic club.
Both boys have trained hard for this
bout and should enter the ring in the
best condition of their career.
Perry. who has been somewhat
handicapped in his Atlanta fights with
a bad back, says the lameness has all
left him and that he was never in bet

Ad Wolgast Made Mistake in
Getting Into Harness Too Soon

pion of the world had a remark
ably close call.
The thing to be avoided is the
making of a wrong analysis of
Wolgast's showing-that is, so far
as it appears to indicate or sug-
gest a permanent loss of fighting
strength or talent. Wolgast was
evidently distressed after a SEEM
ingly light humping match with
Richie, so much so that the
chances are his work during the re-
mainder of the bout was influenced.
Wolgast said that the wrench re-
vived an old injury to his back,
sustained in a contest some years
ago
A great many when they heard
this murmured that's all fiddle
sticks.' The operation he under.
went has left a weak spot and
that is why he hurt himself when
he slid up on Ritchie's shoulders.
A year ago he would not have
minded a little bump like that.
championship days are over.
Ad still insists, however, that it
was his back that was twisted, and
says there was nothing at any stage
Of the contest to remind him that
he had ever been knitted for appen-
dicitis.
It may be as he says. and in any
case there is no harm in waiting
for further light on the subject. If
it was merely twist of the back
that Wolgast suffered from. he
would soon be in harness again.
II it was some physical flaw trace
able to the operation, We Gan ex-
pect TO hear of some Of his ring
contracts being Cancelled.
Whatever IL was, it must be said
that Wolgast was ill-advised in
getting back into harness so soon.

CAN FRANCISCO. May 27.-All
that Willie Richie, the San
Francisco lightweight pos
sesses in the way Of prestige is due,
directly or indirectly to Champion
Ad Wolgast. 1t was through VOL
CAST being taken down with appen-
diCitis that Richie was sent for in
hurry to box Freddie Welsh at
Los Angeles. Prior to that time
Willie was plain, ordinary four
round specialist at the Friday night
shows in this city
AS WClgast's understudy. he per
formed so we'll against Welsh that
his star began to ascend He went
East and commanded matches. He
did so we'll that he came to be
looked upon as a good, serviceable
lightweight.
There is scarcely any need to re-
call how Richie acquitted himself
IN his recent short bout with VOL
CAST. He did so extremely well
that those who witnessed the bout
considered Woigast a lucky boy TO
escape with his laurels intact.
When anything sensational like
that occurs, people az a distance are
inclined to give full weight to the
glowing accounts that emanate
from the seat Of the disturbance.
Allowance is made for a very com
mon human error namely, ten
dency to exaggerate the merits of
the under dog. In a tight crowd
particularly the hope of witness
ing the unexpected sways the emo
tons, and TO attach wrong values
is akin TO travelling the lines Of
least resistance.
In this particular instance, how
ever, the fact remains that a cham

In the outheld Bob McWhorter,
who has been elected captain,
Rueker CHM. Twitty and Peacock

VOLS CAN NOT
PLAY At HOME,
FINAL DECREE

ASHVILLE, TENN, May 81.
" Although Attorney General
Anderson had attached his
signature to an agreed decree that
would have vacated the receiver
ship OF the Nashville baseball club
and modify the former decree of
Chancellor Allison so as to permit
the club TO play week day games
only, Chancellor Allison this morn
ing overruled the application for
the modified order in the case and
instead put down a decree that
more fully defined the position Of
the court in holding that the club
had forfeited all OF its rights, pow
ers and privileges in playing Sun
day BAH in Nashville
Immediately following the action
OF the court, the baseball associa-
ton directors held hurried con-
suitation and placed themselves in
the hands Of President Kavanaugh
communicating with that official
and informing him that the club
was still outlawed by the chancel-
Tor.
1t was thought that a new char
ter would be applied for to operate
under a different organization, but
pending the action of the president
of the Southern league, no further
steps will be taken. 1t is believed
the franchise will go to Little
Rock
Both New orleans and Nashville
are here ready for the series sched-
uled beginning with today but in
view of the deal handed out by
Chancellor Allison, no preparations
are being made for the games.
President Kavanaugh, following
the decision of Chancellor Allison
in the baseball club case this morn
ing, wired Dan f. McGugin attor-
ney. politician and Vanderbilt foot
ball coach to take over the club,
and McGugin will probably do this
by consent of the court
Kavanaugh acted, he says. to pre-
vent other cities from buying the
franchise
If McGugin gets the courts con-
sent. he will continue the sched-
ule, without Sunday playing.

THREE RECORDS SMASHED
AT N. Y. ATHLETIC MEET

NEW YORK, May 27-Three new
American athletic records. which augur
well for United States athletes in the
international games at Stockholm. are
rounding up as the result Of the meet
at Celtic park yesterday
Abel Kiviat ran 500 meters in three
minutes 80 1-5 seconds beating the old
mark 2-5 of a second; Louis Scott, of
South Paterson. n. j., ran 5000 meters
in 10 minutes 6 l-2 seconds. beating the
old mark 5 seconds, and James Duncan
set a new distance record, hurting the
plate with both left and right hand
alternately, the two throws totaling 1852
feet rs inches The old mark for a
double throw was 235 feet and 10
inches.

~ gia's prospects in the base
ball line for next season look
from this distance to be even
brighter than they we're at the be-
ginning of this past season. Only
two of this years veterans will
probably be missing. and while
they will be missed, their places
ought to be filled acceptably.
Captain kid" Brannen has
played his four years and grad
yates from the university this year
He will be greatly missed, as 1t
has been a long time since Georgia
has had better captain than Bran
men. Naturally a pitcher. he filled
in very acceptably at second this
year and could have played any
other place with almost equal ease.
He was in the game every minute,
and was always encouraging his
men. One of the best pinch hit
tiers in the business, he was one of
the most popular men with the
fans. and everybody hates to give
the little captain up.
Carl Thompson is the other man
who win be missing. and the big
hurler will cause quite a gap in the
twirling corps. He has pitched
good, steady. consistent ball all
three years here and his place will
be hard to fill He has already
gone to join Harry Wolvertons

But Georgia will be very strong
in the box next year. despite the
loss of Brannen and Thompson
Big Beddingfield, the dark horse Of

UNDESIRABLES ARE

Octave Estrada, Trinidad Luna and Francisco Rodriguez, three cit. zens of the Republic of Mexico are lodged in the jail at Lowell awaiting the arrival of the immigration ir- spector from Naco who will take them to Tucson to appear before the United States authorities for depor- tation. The trio, it is said, are ire quent inhabitants of American penal institutions for temporary unable, as the abilities of none of them ara equivalent to the food they consume when put to making public highways in working out their fines, the author ities at Lowell have appealed to the service to help them out of their difficulties.
 As result, the United States Cf fcials are coming to Lowell tomor- row to take the Nexicans out of the vicinity. They will probably be de- ported as undesirable aliens. In. spector Lockwood, of Naco, was in the city yesterday securing eviden 6 against the three undesirables.
