RadIum Used to Promote Plana
Growth.


Some Of the remarkable properties
OF radium are being demonstrated by
an exhibitor In the Liberal Arts build
ing at the Panama-Pacific Information
al Exposition, San Francisco, IN con-
nection with q new invention making
possible the radiofytng Of water for
medicinal purposes.
Demonstrating the power; OF this
mineral promoting metabolism q num-
Der Of young plants, some existing
with and some without the aid Of rar
dunn, are shown. Those in the radio
active soils are seen to be growing
much more rapidly than those In com
mon soil, and to have q more healthy
appearance.
This inventor has found process
Of impregnating terra Gotta bricks
with radium-bearing minerals, and
these small bricks placed in water are
said to give it remarkable curative
properties. The porous bricks last al
most indefinitely. losing only half their
potency, it Is estimated, In 1900 years.
Since the discovery of this mineral 1t
has been found that many celebrated
waters, as Carlsbad and Baden Baden,
owe their health-giving properties to ra-
dunn. The inventor claims that his
process produces in ordinary waters
the qualities,of these famous springs.
The radium ore used in the manu-
facture Of radioactive terra Gotta
Is known as carnotite, a formation
found mainly in Colorado and Utah,
and now producing three-fourths Of
the worlds radium The European
mineral, known as pitchblende, from
which the famous European springs
are impregnated, is also displayed.

Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.
The most remarkable set OF speed
photographs ever taken are part OF
the war departments exhibit in Ma
chinery Hall at the PahamarPacific In
ternational Exposition, San Francisco.
They are pictures Of a.shell from II
inch coast defense gun In flight, the
set including the various phases OF
the flight beginning just as the great
projectile pekes Its nose out Of the
muzzle Of the gun.
The pictures were taken with a
lens having an exposure period of
one fiye-thousandth Of second, this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
featured. The exposure at the proper
time In the flight Of the projectile
was made by breaking an electric cir.
quit In q wire stretched across the
trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half
Way out Of the muzzle before any
smoke and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was two
feet from the muzzle but hidden by q
heavy ring Of smoke. A third shows
the shell in flight q hundred feet from
the mnzzIe. The photographs are SO
perfect and the exposure so rapid that
scarcely any blur Is perceptible. They
were taken at Fortress Monroe, Va, unr
der the direction Of Capt. F. J..
Behl OF the coast artillery corps and
head Of the department OF enlisted
specialists at the Coast Artillery
school at Fortress Monroe. .

counsel, attorney and lobbyist for
Mandel Brothers department store,
said this noon that sub-basement Or
dinance as now drawn will be drop
ped.
1--WE are charged with class legis-
lation," said Sexton. ut is argued
the ordinance grants special privi
Iege to Mandel Brothers. The ordi-
nance is temporarily withdrawn and
we are considering an amendment by
which all high class f1reproof build
ings may have the same privilege as
are asked by Mandel Brothers in the
ordinance which has been proposed"
Aid. Kimball, who opposed ordi-
nance in building committee, said it
would have failed by big vote today
if it had gone to council. He said
more than one alderman of the build
ings committee who had voted yes
would change to no.
Harrison Parker, publisher of
Hearst's American, is an active lob
byist for the Mandel endorsement
ordinance. The American last year
printed 1882 agate lines of Man
del Brothers advertising. At the rate
announced by that paper, this would
mean the Mandel store paid the
newspaper $37,750.40.
In calling personally on aldermen
lately, Harrison Parker has stated
clearly to them that he doesn't ex-
pect future favors from Mandel
Brothers. He mentions advertising
as a suspected motive. And then he
disclaims it. Nor is the promise of
Hearst newspaper support made to
Aldermen very directly. The near
est to it is Parker's statement:
81 want to do a lot of good in this
town. If you vote for this ordinance
you will help me to do good. 1 will
remember what you have done for
me-"
If the ordinance had been called

arguments he won't print in the pa
per he's running" Parker makes this
plea:
Its persecution. That's what this
ordinance is. Why, the supreme
court has passed on it and upheld
Mandel Brothers in their claim that
the sub-basement is legal
Court records are that Judge Cav
erly declared unconstitutional the
city ordinance prohibiting second
basement salesrooms. The supreme
court then reversed Caverly and de-
clared the ordinance valid. This is
the identical ordinance Mandel
Brothers want to amend. In other
words, because the supreme court
says the city ordinance is legal, Man
del Brothers must have their ordi-
nance amended in order to operate
their sub-basement legally.
Dennis V. Kelly, general manager
Mandel Brothers, and Peter ]. Dunn,
superintendent, have spent 9 good
many days in aldermanic Hobbies,
wardrobes and committee rooms.
Lately the job has been in the hands
OF Dunn. He has landed some alder
men for the ordinance Their argu-
ments before and after taking Dunn's
advice have reused curiosity and set
gossip going.
Aid. Dempsey's use of the name of
DR.. w. A. Evans, former health COM
missioner, as a sponsor for the sub
basement ordinance, is challenged.
Allen B. Pond, president City club, at
the meeting Tuesday, read a letter
written by DR.. George B. Young, as
health commissioner to Mayor Har-
rison in 1911. DR.. Young quoted DR..
Evans as being dead set against the
endorsements as bad for health and
aggravating tuberculosis breeding
conditions. The letter went into the
building code commission records.
