LYNCHING RECORD
FOR THE YEAR of 1912

Only 81 lynchings, known to be
such beyond doubt, occurred in the
United States in the year now closing.
In previous years the number has been
much larger, 100 having been recorded
in 1894 and 10 in the year following.
The past ten years the number has
been steadily decreasing. Only one
year, however, produced fewer lych-
ings than 1912. In 1907 the record
shows 81 lynchings, one less than this
year
In some Of the southern states there
We're fewer lynchings in 1912 than in
almost any previous year. The de-
crease is attributed largely to the eff
forts made by governors and prominent
citizens TO prevent mob violence. Many
of the governors have acted promptly

Georgia than in any other state LOUIS

only one in the year 1911. Kentucky,
with eight lynehings in 1911, had a
clean slate this year. Oklahoma Is an

ENERGY OF RADIUM.
One Ton Of II Would Equal In Power
100000 Ions Of Coal.

OHe ION OF " "ould EQual IN rover
100000 Tons Of Coal.
If one could utilize the energy OF a
ton OF radium through a space of thir-
~ years II would be sufficient to drive
a ship OF $4,000 tons. with engines of
1900 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
These are not fanciful figures. for the
energy is there. though. as n matter of
fact, it is unlikely that man will ever
produce much more than half an
ounce Of radium q 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.
launG, and scientists are of the op,nior
that perhaps these same discoveries
may In time alter the whole future o,
the human race.

Miss Johnston and j. L. Perry had

the silver lined cloud when the food
swept down upon Dayton.
Miss Johnston was making her home
with her aunt in that city and suffered

She cut her hair short, donned boys
clothing and struck out with but few
dollars for the coast. She travelled al
most the entire distance on freight

Once, when she was discovered riding

passage.
She reached Venice almost famished,
but happy. She did not stop to change
her toilet, but as soon as she learned

Perry and his mother have provided
