tale of a rather long MINDED
preacher of whom he knew
BY the time he had reached the
climax of his sermon, according to
the Ohio representative, one of the
male members of the congregation
was browsing. The preacher. raising
his voice until 1t penetrated every

POETS As EASY MARKS.

Poets are easy marks. That fact Is
shown In the trial OF John T. Hall Of
New York. for new swindle, net
ting him about $4,000, OF which
1000 poets were the victims. Wi

and war poetry brought TO the
Journal office within the past few
weeks for lntlIetion upon long -suf-
fcring public Hut the number Of
poets was not limited to 1900. Six
thousand submitted their verses.
Mr.. Hall began BY offering three
cash prizes OF $3.50, $3.50 and 500 for
the three best song poems offered in
the competition.
This In itself was not wrong. Even
~ he had refused to pay any OF the
cash prizes, II might not have been
wrong, because none of the poems
probably was worth a -hundredth
part of the prizes offered. But the
plan did not end there. When 5000
poets submitted manuscripts. Mr..
Hall sat down and wrote TO each of
those expectant poets that his par
ticular poem might well win n prize
II set TO music. Mr.. Hall offered to
secure the writing OF the music for
the very moderate sum Of $40.
The postoffiee inspectors found
that Loo misguided poets came
across the counter with $40 each.
making a net total OF $4,000 secured
by Mr.. Hall with small expenditure
on his part,
The ability to part the poets OF this
country from such sum Of money
would seem TO be OF a shrewd, hut
particularly lew order and the post
office department is right In taking
up arms for this class of literary

come out with sufficient prominence

late their proceedings. If statesmen

they would find infallible guides In all

Why Radium Is So Expensive

4 has been years since Madame Curie
gave to the world the discovery OF
radium, but in all that time not more
than an ounce has been produced. Exact
figures are not available, but medical
men say there is not now an ounce OF the
precious substance in existence. 1t sells
for fabulous sums and can hardly be pur-
chased in the tiniest quantities for any
amount of money. The few persons and
institutions in possession of bits of the
priceless metal guard it jealousy and de-
mand almost prohibitive charges for Its
use.
And yet 1t is said vast quantities Of
radium are buried in the low grade ores
of Austria, Australia, North America and
South Africa. New discoveries of radium
bearing fields are announced every few
months. Yet the price of radium has &C
tually risen since its discovery and men
who know declare that it probably never
will fall below its present value.
1t is the cost of extraction that renders
the metal so valuable. The extraction
not only is costly but long and laborious.
Special plants must be erected at great
cost. Then the many, long, delicate pro-
cesses through which the Eadium bearing
ore must be subjected, increase the cost
of extraction and production to the pres
ent prohibitive figures.
At present radium is mostly derived
from pitchblende mines. 1t is found in
such low grade ores as uranium oxide.

individual is placed in a circuit with q
delicate galyanometer and made to
laugh, there will be movements in the
instrument indicating the passage Of
small electrical currents. Emotions are
not mere states of mind.
The exaltation of victory renders the
wounded soldier oblivious of his pain.
The depression of defeat increases NOR
tality. The terrible annals of war have
shown that the victorious Of two wounded
soldiers has much the greater chance to
win, even though their hurts are abso-
lutely similar. This accounts, in some
measure, for the fact that the casualty
lists OF defeated armies are always so
much greater than those of victorious,
even though the winning side may have
been subjected to a much greater FIRE
from an unprotected position. The dis
couragement of defeat renders a wound
ed man much less able to withstand the
effects of his injury.
With animals, the physical effect OF
emotions is still more apparent Fright
ened rabbits show almost complete pros
tration, and their brain cells, in contrast
with normal animals. take a deeper stain
from certain chemicals and their size
and shape are strikingly altered. The
blood and tissue of cat which had lis
tened for fifteen minutes to the savage
barking OF an enraged dog showed re-
markable chemical changes under micro

This time it is not the low, rakish"

DISCOVERIES
About
INDIGESTION

n R. LEVEN, of Paris, one Of the most
famous specialists in disorders Of
the stomach, gives in a recent pa
per some advice on how and when dys-
peptics should drink.
He says that X-ray observations of the
stomach have proved the erroneous nature
of the established belief that water does
not remain long in the stomach but passes
within a few minutes into the intestines
1t is true that water flows on quickly If
the stomach is empty, cold water taking
ten minutes and warm water five on the
average. But if the stomach contains the
smallest quantity of food the water will
remain in it several hours.
The X-ray has revealed another error,
one of sensation felt by the sick. which
is the belief that the stomach is full when
it is absolutely empty, or that it is empty
and craving for food when it is really
fairly full
Liquid of any sort added in any large
quantity to the food swallowed diiutes the
nutritive juices to excess, excites the con-
traction of the muscular walls of the

But when only one bus rushed by at
twelve miles an hour, both a vertical and
horizontal movement was noted.
II is probable that London will have to
regulate its motor buses and auto trucks
to the comparative snaillike pace of ten
miles an hour or under in order to pre-
serve some OF its most historic structures.
Already it has been found necessary to
install steel supports in st. PauTs Cathe-
dral in order to combat the vibration
caused by the motor bus trafic, a con-
