Exactly $4,000 shares OF steel were
required to lift the price from 81 e., the
low on Friday. TO 63h, the high yester-
day. and also the high OF the movement

over in the same level on the way down.

That may he true but q rise of nearly

conclusive proof that there was no liqui-

pronounced scarcity of stock anywhere

true OF the whole market Prices yester-

to admit that the building OF crystals and

also Is mistake and in fact. that the
whole universe Is MISTAKE and think
We may safely leave such skcpt.c TO his

life originates we know It may arise as
easily IN Other hab'table worlds as In the
one little abode which we inhabit In the

hold life to be general phenomenon in
nature developing wherever the stars are
shining on their attendant planets, and
thus wherever a star wrinkles T. the

Now. as for Mars and Venus, in our

they are surely inhabited by living be-
ings of some kind, Observations show
that Mars has rare atmosphere, a day

THE RADIUM CURE.

The death Of Congressman Bremen
raises the question Of the radlum treat
ment Of cancer. Radium was used in the
effort 20 cure Congressman Dremncr but
without success. The significance OF this
failure is coun,e-actAd by the fact that
from the first the best authorities on the
radium treatment expressed the belief
that this case was not Of the kind to
he cured in that way.
Radium Is not q complete cure for can
GER at least not in the quantities in
which 1t Is now existant in hospitals In
ternal cancers. very deep cancers and
cancers Of the breast a rule defy its

cases radium by breaking up the can

uninjured accomplishes more thoroughly
and without disagreement. what the
knife attempts to do When the radium
is brought into action. 1t is as II mil
! lions of tiny knives were at work de-
stroying millions Of cancer cells The

be won until the cause OF cancer is dis
covered. But radium has made the battle
more successful and made it possible to
save many lives.

National Radlum Institution-an organi-
est medical standing-the United States

Ing to have them worked on a royalty
basis, the radium producing ore which
has formerly been shipped to Europe to
| have the radium extracted and sold back
to Americans at great expense will be
relieved of its radium here.
The radium extracted will be limited
In its distribution to New York and Bal

where 1t can be used most advantage
ously. There 1t is to be administered,
as is now the case, to rich and poor
alike whenever 1t will afford relief
In the meantime the general public
must be warned that to be effective ra-
dunn must be had in quantities greater
and Of vastly greater value than private
physicians could afford. Radium cures ad-
vertised by persons not vouched for by some
high authority are to be viewed with sus-
picion. and unless the patient can be
taken to the great hospitals Of New York
and Baltimore which possess the precious
substance in quantities sufficient to cure,
surgery should be resorted to. Trying
any but the authentic radium cures Is
likely to mean spread of the cancer so
far that neither surgery nor the genuine
radium cure can stop It.

HARD KNOCKS FOR ALCOHOL.
From the Vermont Issue0

The journal, organ of the American
Medical association, recently contained
the following, which will bear careful
consideration:
The use Of alcohol is receiving some
hard knocks these days prominent
railway system. not content with the gen.
eral rule heretofore in force on railways
forbidding employees to drink while on
duty, now forbids employees to indulge at
all in drinking out Of employment hours.
or in any other conduct which will i'm
pair their health or make them less alert
or less capable while on duty.
The owner of one of the nations pets
prominent baseball team-announced
that moderation in drinking is not suffici-
ent; the players on his team must leave
alcohol entirely alone and abondon cigar
cites.
The justification of such rules may be
found not only in the difficulty of being
moderate in INDULGENCE, but also in the
cumulative and after effects of disspa-
ton
The world is moving. the old fetish Of
personal liberty at whatever cost Of
danger to the public at large seems to be

BARGES FOR STEAMERS.
A System Successful in Holland to Be
Given N Trial,

| The significance of the formal inaugura.

considered The service Is an adaptation
to the South of means OF transportation
which has been worked out successfully
In Holland, and in It's initial movement
fully justities the vision of John H. Bern.

that with proper criminal facilitie-, me-
chanical loading and unloading devices TO
suit local conditions, in addition to
wharves. sheds and warehouses, the self
propelled barge should entirely revolution.
ize river traffic In the South
The prospect before the South in this
particular Is indicated by the vast extent
Of southern inland waterways. The total
navigable length OF such waterways ia

miles Of that extent are practically within

Many of these streams penetrate produce
tive REGIONS only awaiting transportation
facilities for their profitable development
Here and there the small motor boat has
become an efficient agency In such devel-
opment, and already there are many eX-
tcnsive links in tie chain which some day
will constitute a great inland waterway
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts con-
Meeting the Chesapeake bay and the Rio
Grande river, into which will debouch

These are to have an important bearing
upon the agricultural and commercial fu-
ture Of tie South, and are capable OF be-

that sections inland and foreign trade
Many of them will not call for the service
OF the large river steamer or the tow Of

and broad enough for such vessels. but
they will furnish facilities for an extern

transport for through service from one
point TO another or as feeders for the
larger vessels.
