bodies buried were fit to keep. Snow
was the only undertaken on board the

unrecognizable. But there was not a

RADIUM IS COMMON CURE
Its Application, Chiefly by Drinking and Inhalation, an Established
 Usage In Germany.

Application of radium, chiefly by drinking and inhalations, has now become quite an established usage in most of the German cure stations. Dr. Frumesan, who has visited most of them, has likewise become firmly convinced of the efficaciousness of the radium cure through inhalations, and has gone to considerable expense to set up an installation in Paris. The most effective way of applying the cure is by means of inhalations of r4dium emanations. For this purpose comfortable room has been especially prepared. The doors and windows have been thoroughly pad ded and made almost hermeticallv tight. Accommodation is provided for eight or ten patients, who may take the cure simultaneously. The radium emanation is provided by a "vollihhalatorium," device which is already popular and widely used in Germany. The "vollinhalatori- um" is sort of upright tube, stand- ing yard or more high, at the bot tom of which the radium is placed. Special currents of air are forced up through the tube and convey the emanations of radium through the room with the air, which is itself constantly renewed with a special supply of oxygen.

IN DANGER FROM LIGHTNING
Obscrvatories on Lofty Mountains Often Struck if They Arc
 Built In the Snow.

One of the greatest dangers to mountain observatories is from lightning. This was illustrated last year, when the observatory on the summit of Mont Blanc was struck; one man was injured so badly that he has since died.
 The reasons for this danger are evident. The ground is frozen and snow is bad conductor of electric ity. This particular building is of wood, buried in the snow. The roof was covered with copper plates, but the copper is not to be blamed as the building was struck by lightning in 1909 while building and before the copper was put on.
 Another Mont Blanc observatory, built in the snow, was struck a few years ago, with the result that nails were forged together. This was in spite of lightning rod supplied with a wire cable to a rock 300 yards away.
 In spite of additional lightning rods, the shocks continued. On one occasion a visiting guide reported that for two hours and a half he watched ribbons of fire passing hori- zontally across one of the rooms.
 Not far from these is another ob- servatory that in 13 years has never been touched by lightning. Instead of being built in the snow, it rests directly on the rock. Its copper roof and even the stovepipe are connected with the lightning rods, from which conductors lead down into the rocks and are fastened to them.

rectangular tank Is to be used, the proper dimensions can be determined by consulting Table II.
 1t often happens that around stock tank there is a mud hole. This can be easily avoided by making a cement platform around the tank extending out six feet on all sides.
 In making the forms for the tank, the outside measurements of the in- side forms should be one inch greater in both directions than the outside dimensions of the tank. This is neces- sary to avoid the possibility of any part of the tank being supported by the floor proper. The outer edge of the floor should be one inch lower than the edge surrounding the space to be occupied by the tank. This pro vides drainage for water that is spilled to be occupied by the tank.
 The bill of materials shown above is for a tank ten feet long and six feet wide. The price of such a tank can be easily computed by local dealer

slow. Using wheelbarrow of known capacity, or counting the shoveluls is the most common practice and is con sidered a fairly accurate method. The bottomless box shown in the figure is the best means for this determination
 The sand and gravel should be clean. The following test may be used to determine if the sand is clean: Fill a glass fruit jar one-Quarter full of the sand and add clean water until the jar is three-Quarters full. Shake well, and If a layer of mud or clay settles over the sand, do not use 1t.
 Gravel or stone should be free from sticks. leaves or any foreign sub stance which would in any way de- stroy the action of the cement upon the sand and gravel. If clay Is pres ent, always wash 1t out by pouring wa ter over the sand or gravel which is to be spread over an inclined screen.
 Spread the cement upon the sand and gravel if they are in combination on the water-tight platform and mix until the whole mass Is of uniform color. Then add water unless screened gravel or crushed stone is being used, in which case place the cement upon the sand, mixing until a uniform color; add gravel or crushed stone and mix thoroughly, and then add enough water to produce the proper consistency. Hoes or shovels can be used to mix the concrete, but the latter are more often employed. Concrete should be mixed in small quantities, only such amounts being prepared as will be used up immedi- ately. Concrete hardens SO rapidly that Jumps often begin to form throughout the whole mass before it can be used. Under these conditions the whole amount should be discard cd. Concrete ought not to stand more than 25 or 30 minutes after the ce- ment is first wet, without being placed.
 In placing concrete, the most impor. tant thing to be observed is the man. ner of handling. The materials must not be separated when poured into the forms. Pouring from a considerable height should not be practiced, as the

 seems to be conservation. This appar- ently may be applied to all lines of work. Not only Is this true in the commercial world, but 1t will hold true in rural pursuits. The farmer is exerting every effort in obtaining more efficiency from his activities and to do this he Is gathering about him every kind of modern machine or con. venience that Is obtainable.
 Concrete on the farm is becoming an important factor and with the ad- vent of this new medium of construc- tion. feeding floors, troughs, racks, fence posts, silos, farm buildings and many useful necessities are being add ed to the farm equipment Many of these useful things may be construct ed by the farmer himself or his regu. lar help. All that Is necessary is a working knowledge of concrete and it's endorsements. In the construc- tion of large buildings knowledge of the reinforcement of beams and gird- CTS is required and such construction should be submitted to an architect or bridge engineer who Is acquaint- ed with these problems.
 Materials used in the construction of concrete work are usually propor- toned 1-2-4 or 1-2k-5. 1926, 1-4-s, de- pending upon their character. That is, 1 part cement, 21a parts sand and 5 parts crushed stone or gravel are used {x1 ivtt mot tzf will depend upon the nature of the work in which it is used.
 Table No. I. shows the materials necessary for one cubic yard of con- crete.
 In order to determine the amount of cement necessary for any amount of concrete, estimate the number of cubic yards and multiply that number by the figure in the table opposite, "Bbls. cement per cubic yard of con crete" and under mixture to be used" The amount of sand and of stone is determined in the same way.
 Batch mixing, as indicated by the name, Is an intermittent process and Is the one most used in silo construc- ton. Under certain conditions the continuous mixing process may be em- ployed. Continuous mixing is done by machinery, the materials being fed into the machine without interruption during the mixing process, which may continue for four or five hours. Batch mixing may be done by machinery if 1t seems more desirable. Simple me chanical mixers have been very sue cessfully constructed from an ordi- nary kerosene barrel.
 Water should be added until a slop- py mixture is obtained. This will per init the material to be readily poured The concrete should be prepared upon water-tight mixing platform, usually about 10x12 feet. In placing the ma terials upon this platform, some meth cd should be used to get the proper proportions; that Is, if 1-s-4 mixture is used, some simple measure for the materials should be employed where hy this may be easily determined. Weighing Is accurate, but somewhat

ENDS HIS LIFE BY SHOOTING
Young Man OF Smoaks Fires Load OF
Shot Into His Head.

Branchville, Sept. 25.-Benjamin
Sauls, 80 years Of age, committed
suicide by shooting himself through
the head with a shotgun at his home
IN Smoaks, twelve miles from
Branchville, to-day about noon. No
cause is given FOR the deed except
that he Is supposed to have killed
himself in a fit Of dependency. He
leaves a wife and three small chill
drcn, his stepmother and several bro
theirs and sisters.
Mr.. Sauls was a member of one Of
the most prominent families in the
Smoaks section Of Colleton county.
He served for several years as a mail
carrier on n Of the rural routes
from Smoaks, and his work was be-
lieved to be very satisfactory. He
was well liked by a large circle of
friends for his genial disposition.
This morning he was on the streets
up to about a half hour before the
little town was shocked with the an
nounccment that he had killed him
self. He talked and laughed with
his friends as usual and nothing in
his manner indicated that he contem-
plated the deed. 1t is said, however,
that he had threatened to kill him
self several times before. He went
to his home shortly before 10 o'clock,
entered his bedroom and a few mo-
ments later a gunshot was heard and
members Of his family, rushing into
his room, found his lifeless body ly-
ing on the floor with the shotgun be-
side it.
