Middleham, where for three months in

Further tjsa FOR Radi1H,.

According to recent experiments in
Europe radium Is instrumental in pre-
venting diseases Of plants. For sew
eral years workers In agronomic sci
ence have been experimenting upon
the effect of radium on vegetation by
mixing radioactive substances with
the usual fertilizers. The numer-
Gus results obtained In this work
show that most plants, either grain
or flower, are remarkably stimulated
and give a better yield both in size
and quality, this being often seen In
the fine and healthy color of the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
In better condition to resist attacks
from various sources Of disease, es-
pecially diseases known as cryptogam-
&c. which arise from spores or mold. 1t
seems that radium is to act as pre-
ventive for such diseases as wheat
rust, rotting Of potatoes, grapevine
mildew and many others which cause
detriment to agriculture.

schemers who told a confiding pHblic
that many fortunes were to be made
by importing into England compressed
dried grapes from Spain, Italy and
elsewhere, then saturating them with
good English water, and making wine
from them. 1t was stated in the pros
