 The graduating exercises of the Meridian public schools will be held Friday night at the Grand opera house. There will be A graduates. the largest class in the his tory of the public schools of the city. The enrolment this session has far surpassed any other session, being about 800 in ex- cess of the previous year, and this does not include any county or outside pupils. Large and costly improvements are to be made on the school buildings during va cation. It is argued from the increas- ing school attendance that Meridian is showing larger growth than any other place in the state.
 Officers are still looking for the negro Bob Goodwin. who is under suspicion of killing his wife, Mary Goodwin, early Fri day morning. The woman was brutally murdered in the servants house of a prominent family here. being first stabbed and later shot to death.

Radium is at present an all en- crossing subject among miners From the Mining & Scientific Press the following exceptionally clear article is taken:
 Radium has within the past year been the subject Of a great ueai O. comment and the amount ofmis-in- formation regarding the nature and therapeutic value of this element is far in excess of what has actually been proved regarding it. The med ical fraternity is hopeful that radlum salts will be demonstrated to be ben efclal if not cure for certain ma lignant growths; but the real value in this respect has by no means been determined. The proposed radium bill discussed in our issue of April II, now appears to be doomed, and interest taken by the Government toward the conservation and inves. tigation of this element have tended toward an exaggerated publicity of all phases of the subject The nature and origin of the element is exceed ingly hay in the minds of most people and we are therefore glad to publish an article by Mr. c. T. Kennan on Radium and its Sources in this issue.
 Radio-actlvity belongs to the field of higher physics and physical chem istry and it is therefore, difficult for one wholly unfamiliar with these sub iects to understand the rudiments of radium-therapy. The subject dates back to 1901, but is still in it's in- fancy and those interested will nd 'Radium therapy' by L. Wickham and P. Degrais. translated by S. Dore. to be both interesting and instructive. Although our present knowledge of it's physiological action is extremely linn Iited, it is believed by many who have made a special study of the element to be the most valuable agent that we possess. Harvard University is at present conducting an investigation of the radium therapy, and while a very conservative view is being taken by the commission of this University, it is planned to pursue the investigation Indefinitely with the hope of eventual Iy determining just what radium and its derivatives can do.
 The radio-actlvity to which the ele- ment owes its value, is a property pos sessed by some forms of matter, which is due to a process of spontaneous atomic dislntegration. Most forms of radioactive matter are characterized by the sending out of rays, which are of three types The alpha rays are easily absorbed and are positively charged with helium atoms which are emanated from the disintegrating atoms with great velocity The best a are more penetrating and consist of negative elections (particles 17OO times smaller in mass than the hydrogen atoms) and move with a velocity about that of light ;and the gamma rays, whose emanation Is a very penetrat-

Gov Ferris understands, and the fact
that he has applied the term 10 il lie
sufficient evidence that he does under
stand. the difference between the labor

them In most places they are never
spoken of as labor unions but az The

most people in lower Michigan do not

the English speaking portion OF the
population up in this section is some
what similar TO the white man in the

ORE NOT VALUABLE

About q year or two ago we heard a
lot about the big ore deposits In Vene-
zuela and how they were going to
knock the demand for Lake Superior
ores into a cooked hat

indicates thst the Lake Superior pro-
duct hasn't much to fear from it's
South American competitor.

combined with drop in the price.
