As Arizona man writes that
n he has found some rock
which puzzles everybody
around there (where rocks are
commonly regarded with an in
terrogating eve that would sur
prise q North Georgia farmer,
and he wants to know now he
can test the correctness of his
suspicion that it contains radtum.
There is no better way than to
call in the aid of a photographer,
unless you happen yourself to be
an amateur in photography, in
which case you have the whole
secret in your own hands and
need no conf1dant. Here is the
process that the United States
Bureau Of Mines advises:
Take a photograph plate and
wrap It IN two thicknesses Of
black paper. This, OF course, is
to be done in dark room. On
top of the wrapped-up plate lay
KEY. or a coin, or any metallic
object possessing a characteristic
outline-the key is usually en-
ployed. Then suspend directly
over the key a specimen of the
suspected rock, or ore, weighing
at least two or three ounces. Do
not let 1t press upon the key or
the plate.
Finally put the entire apparatus
inside a light-tight box. OF
course, the whole proceeding must
take place in the dark room,
with no more illumination than
that furnished by a photogra-
piers red light, and as little as
possible OF that. Leave the box
untouched for three or four days;
then unwrap the plate and de-
velop it in the ordinary way. II
your rock contains any appre-
ciable amount of radium you will
find on the plate an outline pic
ture, or profile, OF the key, or
whatever metallic object you may
have used 1t will be more or
less sharply impressed according
to the quantity of radium pres
ent.
II no metallic object were used,
the effect of suspending the ore
above the plate, or letting 1t lie
upon 1t, would be to produce a
general darkening of the plate

In with the serious stuff of the
novel is a vein OF humor and
strand of romance. This gay bit
of banter between Jeff and
young woman of the story car
ries a neat touch of allegory:
JEFF Farnam, pacing the deck
as he munched an apple, heard
himself hailed from the bridge
above. He looked up, to see Alice
Frome, caught gloriously in the
wind like winged Victory. Her
hair was parted in the middle
with a touch of Greek simplicity,
and fell in wavy ripples over her
temples beneath the jaunty cap.
She put her arms on the railing
and leaned forward, her chin tilt
ed to an oddly taking boyish
piquancy.

7 HOPE TO see the time when
every farm home, no matter
how humble, will be supplied
with a daily. except Sunday, mail
service. What wish for the peo-
pie I represent should be extend
ed to the farmers Of all sections
Of this country.
There is a great demand for
the reduction of the postage rate.
/ am convinced that to give the
people a 1-cent rate will not i'm
pair the efficiency of the service,
and it will result in a great saw
ing to the people of the country
What the American people want
is efficient service. Particularly
is this true OF the postal system.
In order to get the most efficient
service It is going to be, in my
opinion, necessary to increase the
salaries of the rural free deliv-
cry carriers, as well as the sala-
ries Of the postmasters, and
have proposed that the compen-
sation of the carriers be fixed at
$500 a year.
The carriers, as a general rule.
are good and efficient men Of
high type. The salaries now being
received by them are not suffi-
cient to meet the demands that
confront them. They are unable
to keep up themselves, their fam
lilies, their horses and their Vehi-
cles. The city mail carriers, pro-
portionately speaking, receive
much better salaries, and people

ton to all church-goers to come to

bell at Ito North William Street, and
when answered, a messenger stood
without with an invitation for Rev.
D. W. Arnold to arise forthwith and
go to Holly street, where he found
handsome bridal party waiting for him
to say the words which make two
hearts beat as one.
