Radium and Old Ace.

The claim that radium can restore
the hardened arteries OF middle.aged
people to healthy condition, and SO
prolong life, was made by Doctor
Saubermann of Berlin, who lectured in
London recently before the Rontgen
society.
If this theory is correct 1t will be
possible. for few pounds, to buy a
radium apparatus which will manufac-
ture the elixir of youthfulness. This
apparatus consists of an earthenware
receptacle, containing minute
amount of radium, which is placed at
the bottom OF glass bottle. The bot
tie is filled with water. and in the
course of time the water becomes
charged with radium emanations. The
radium remains "active" for hundreds
of years, so that one has only to re,
new the water in order to get any
number of doses,-pall Mall Gazette.

William Lewis, another prisoner,
thought Judge Carey would change his
mind If he himself was one of the

days in JAIL and this view was shared
by Albert Franck, on the same tier
Michael Mcdonnell, who spent thir-
teen years in Matteawan and has just
been brought back cured to stand trial
on charge of assault committed In
1900, pointed out that Judge Carey's
idea was impracticable, because to i'm
prison all inhabitants of the United
States for one day each year would
cost the country untold sums of money.
History, however. records an in
stance of an English judge Of the last
century who insisted, on being ele-
waited to the bench, on passing a week
in prison under severe discipline. His
idea was thus to familiarize himself
with the sort of life which the unfor-
Inmates whom he might have to sem
tence to confinement would have to
live. He thought that most judges did
not sufficiently realize what severe
punishment they were intlicting when
they passed sentences of long terms
Of imprisonment.
Somehow this idea seems to have
within 1t at least small amount of
common sense.

The origin of the beauty spot is
interesting. The Duchess de Mont

cheek, resorted TO putting on bit
of black mixture, which she had been
told held great curative power. In
the morning she either forgot to wash
her face, or did not use enough care
so the tale goes-and appeared before

Some of the prisoners in the Tombs

funds; Philip Musica, the importer be-

GREAT HAZARD in ART
MANY ARTISTS OF SKILL WHO
SCARCELY MAKE a LIVING.
As Rule the Pictures Of Famous
Painter Bring Highest Prices After
His Brush Has Ceased to
Move Forever.

In art, as in most other professions
the "plums" fall into the hands of the
few. The Sargent or Herkomer may
make his $4,000 in twelve months by
his brushes; Mr.. "Dauber," who start
ed his career with equal promise, may
barely earn the check that pays his
frame-maker's bill.
Jean Francois Millet lived and died
a peasant, though he could wear the
ribbon of the Legion of Honor. 1t was
the proudest day Of his life when he
received $500 for the "Angelus," which
generation later was sold for $116,-

was glad to pocket dollar apiece for
pictures, any one of which would be
snapped up today for hundreds of dol
lars. George Morland parted with
many masterpiece for the price of
an evenings carouse; and Rem
brandt's canvases are valued today at
twenty million dollars-yet he left
nothing to his heirs beyond his clothes
and his paint brushes.
And who will say that these magi-
clans of the palette were less skilful
than the Orchardsons and Alma-Tade-
mas of later years, whose canvases,
with the paint scarcely dry on them
were exchanged for $4,000 or $4,000
each; than Frank Holl, who painted
100000 worth Of portraits in sin
gle year; of Landseer, whose estate
was sworn at 100000?
Today the painting Of pictures, for
nineteen artists out of twenty, is a
costly hobby, which leaves little mar
