Fishbones Harmless.

Sitting at q planked shad dinner in

into his throat and he began to stran-
gle. Some one suggested that the sur
ferer swallow q fragment Of dry bread.

was brought without delay. Taking
one section. he offered It to the choking
guest and told him to suck the tuice
and to swallow It slowly. Directions
were faithfully followed, and In about q
quarter Of a minute the afflicted one
placed the half lemon on his plate.
looked into the anxious faces around
the table and smiled.
"Weil. Joe." said one. "how about

Gems Are Improved
By Use of Radium

The latest experiments made with
radium confirm the statement that II
has the property Of changing the col
ors OF precious and semi.preciouu
stones. The change 10 effected merely
BY continud exposure to rsdium saita
and the gems which give the best re-
suits are sapphires.
A young German chemist II said to
have obtained sensational results from
this discovery. He recently purchased
several varieties Of sapphires and
placed them In . box With q sniall
quantity Of radium bromide. The trans
formation Of the stones after about q
months exposure are described a. fol.
lows:
Original Color. New Color.

Blue. Sapphire blue.
Violet Beautiful ruby.
Wine coiored. Deep violet.

The chemist visited the jeweler from
whom he bought the stones At an aver
age price Of 70 cents . carat and asked
what the jeweler would offer for the
parcel. The jeweler. suspecting moth.
ing even after . close examination.
offered % a carat for all the stones.

caused by horse-drawn vehicles and S73

In 1910 was 1877. Horse-drawn vehicles
were responsible for 6S5 OF such accl-
