ENERGY OF RADIUM.
One Ton of II Would Equal In Power
100000 Tons of Coal.

One Ton Of II Would Equal In Power
100000 Tons of Coal.
If one could utilize the energy of a
ton OF radium through a space of thir-
ty years it would be sufficient to drive
a ship of $4,000 tons, with engines OF
$4,000 horsepower, at a rate of fifteen
knots throughout the whole thirty
years, To do this 100000 tons of coal
are actually required, says the Chicago
Tribune. 50
These are not fanciful figures, for the
energy is there. though. as a matter Of
fact. 1t is unlikely that man will ever
produce much more than half an
ounce of radium year.
STILL the fact is important for this
reason-that science is convinced that
the radium in radium bromide is not
the only element which possesses this
marvellous store of energy. but that the
calcium in gypsum and the sodium in
common salt contain also this energy
content.
The evidence of the wonderful atomic
energies in the common elements of
everyday material is rapidly accumu-
lating, and scientists are of the opinion
that perhaps these same discoveries
may In time alter the whole future of
the human race.

BUILDING A RAILROAD.
What IL Means When the Contractors
Begin Operations.

what lt Means When the contractors
Begin Operations.
With the right of way established,
a great army of men enter into the
field. The company does not build its
own road. 1t is turned over TO contrac-
tors and is usually let in sections of
from 200 to 800 miles
The contractor must live up to GER
tain specifications, just as though he
were building a house, and he fur
nishes everything-men. teams. ma
chinery, food and material. Few peo-
pie realize what this means. A con-
tractor must be very near to king.
For instance, there Is the Hazelton
section in the mountains. 1t is less
than 200 miles in length. Before a
single shovel or pick was engaged in
the building of this section the con-
tractors had to equip themselves with
a feet Of steamboats, at cost OF $780,
600. They had to build scores OF
camps at from $4,000 TO $4,000 camp.
Each of these centers had to be stock
cd with provisions. supplies and mate
rails almost before a builder was
brought in. Before these contractors
moved a shovelful of earth or fred
single blast they had spent over &c.
600, 900.
Each contractors camp is like a
small city. with its stores. hospital.
scores of sleeping shacks, kitchens,
dining rooms, warehouses and barns

LAWYERS ENTERTAINED
Had Splendid Time as Guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alex Dunnett

The members of Caledonia county le-
gal fraternity enjoyed a days outing
and wholesome hospitality at the sum
| torney Alexander Dunnett at Ricker's
mills in Groton Thursday. Lawyers and
few invited guests arrived at Mr.. Dun
nett's summer retreat at about l0:30
in the morning, travelling from the va
rious parts of the county in automo-
biles. An informal lunch was served at
IL o'clock After the lunch the post
prandial exercises were in the form of
rowing, fishing, quoits and scrub base
ball.
The afternoon was all too brief. It
was well understood that Mr.. Dunnett
was an Incompatible host-easily gen
erous and delightfully."- genial; but the
apex of hospitality and good cheer was
crowned with full honors when the %
hungry apostles of Blackstone, Coke and
Chitty came to the auxiliary jurisdic.
ton" of Mrs. Dunnett's spacious dining
room, there to seat themselves with
steaming viands-fsh, chicken and NUT
ton-and an abundance of vegetables and
tasty dessert.
There were five tables. The ocea-
sion was graced by the presence of two
Judges: Hon. Wendall p. Stafford, JUS
tiee of the supreme court of the District
of Columbia and Hon. William H. Tay-
lor of the county courts of Vermont.
Frederick P. Bellamy a lawyer of note
in New York City, who is spending his
vacation at Caspian lake, was also pres
ent. At the conclusion of the dinner
mine host Dunnett conveyed to his
guests the real pleasure he had derived
from their presence and hoped that they
would again find themselves at his gates.
Justice Stafford and Mr.. Bellamy were
each called upon for a few remarks.
Justice Stafford expressed his keen APP
probation of the opportunity to weld
anew his ties to Caledonia county bar
and Mr.. Bellamy facetitiously remarked
that he would like to withdraw from
the 5000 lawyers in New York City
and become a member of Caledonia bar
if he could be assured that he would
pass the examinations.
Nature smiled in unison with the com
pany during the day, and when old Sol

that the shades of night would mean

MINNES0TA'S NOSE.
Curious History of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.

Northern Boundary Line.
How did the United States come to
get that small corner of Hand which
futs out from the extreme northern
boundary of Minnesota? History of
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point of
The United States Is very interesting.
Under the treaty of 1888 the boundary
between the United States and British
possessions was fixed. A certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mutual
ly agreed to as one starting point, this
being considered the headwaters OF the
St Lawrence river and great lakes
system. s1s+1s-
AT that time it was not known wheth
err this point was north or south of the
forty ninth parallel, but it was known
to be close to it, The understanding
was that from that point the boundary
should go north or south to the forty
ninth parallel, as the case might be.
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
five miles north of the forty-nlnth par
allel, and so at this place the boundary
makes Jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has little piece of
territory of about hundred square
miles In extent north of the general
boundary. And the joke of it is that
any one has to go by water in order to
reach this little piece Of territory unless
he wants to go through Canada.-Path-
finder
