CONDITIONS ARE ALTERED.

Pres. W. H. Stutsman Of the North
Dakota railroad commission a made
another appeal to the shippers of
North Dakota for accurate statements
covering the effect of the western
freight classification, No. 81, against
which about fifteen states of the west
have combined forces seeking to nave
it amended or set aside.
Recently the North Dakota commits
sion made a tour of the state, the
purpose being two-fold. One purpose
was to acquaint the shippers with a
more general knowledge Of the effect
of the opose new classification, and
the other was to secure from n snip
pers statements of the effect on their
particular business.
AS a result Of the tour, during
which three public hearings were held
considerable valuable information has
been filed with the commission, show
| ing that the shippers of North Dakota
| are practically unanimous ] n their con-
| domination of the new ruling by the
| railroads, and that it operates to raise
| the cost Of shipping very materially.

An accident without parallel occurred
recently at the Austerlitz station OF the

trains were due almost at the same mo-
ment, the first being a local train from
Juvisy, driven by electric power. The
platform was filled with a dozen hand

by the name Of devils" One piece was
top-heavy, and on being shaken by the
vibration OF the incoming train II spon-
taneously rolled over the edge. just in
front of the engine. which sent ii flying,
like a projectile. with terrific force, into
the middle of the other trucks. round
which had gathered a group OF porters.
The various articles were sent flying in
all directions, and the men, seized with
panic dashed into the six-foot way on
the opposite side OF the platform. with
out noticing the Toulouse express coming
in. The engine caught one man and cut
him completely in two. and injured seven
others more or less severely. Fortunate
ly speed had been much reduced. though
trains are accustomed to arrive at this
station at a considerable pace. stopping

LOSES PRECIOUS RADIUM.
English Doctor Throws $500 Worth
of Metal Into Fire.
oreign Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON. October 2, 1912
From Birmingham 1t is stated that a
doctor lost five hundred dollars worth Of
bandages. 1t is further said that q
chemist promised to recover it from the
ashes.
This is by no means the first time that
the precious metal has been lost and re-
covered: The metal itself has never been
seen. excepting in Nine. Curie's crystal
tubes. What is known as "radium'' is
radium chloride. or even radium sui
phate. Tiny grains OF these salts are
extremely precious. and are usually
sealed up In little glass bulbs Nova
days some of these glass bulbs are used
for treating skin diseases. but as a rule
their contents are spread over cloth or
other surfaces and fitted on to "appli-
GATORS
When one Of the first little glass bulbs
was received in London it had a curious
history. A physician in Portland place
was applying 1t to patient when he in
adVertently let it fall, and a moment
later crushed it under his foot. The car
pet was very valuable: SO was the sole
Of his foot: but the radium salt was far
fact. the value of radium is not easily
reckoned in dollars and cents A small
portion Is in the hands Of those who can
sell or buy. but by far the greater guam
tity is beyond the reach of the merely
wealthy. Gold may control 1t some day
not yet. The value to the physician was,
therefore, very great He took or his

the ashes refined the, original radtum
