Swelling Of the throat. chronic
Inflammation Of the eyes. diph-

Of the throat. septic wounds.

All walls and furniture should

that after spring or autumn

VARYING FORCE OF RADluM.
Powers Of the Three Different hays-
Alpha, Beta and Gamma.

Powers Of the Thrss Different Rays
Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
There are three kinds Of 80 called
rays having their melting origin In ra-
dium. The three rays are known ~
alpha. beta and gamma rays. and each
Of these has characteristic peculiari-
ties.
The alpha rays have range inside
Of half an inch from their source. the
beta rays reach about three times ~
far. and the gamma rays are yet moro
penetrating. A thin sheet of paper or
a dim Of tin foil or mica will effectual-
~ halt the alpha rays. A miliimeter
Of lead or ave millimeters Of alumini-
um will stop the further progress Of
the beta rays. but the ANNA rays will
go through nineteen centimeters of iron
or seven centimeters of lead before
their original intensity Is reduced per
cent
The alpha rays consist Of positively
charged atoms OF helium advancing at
a velocity of $4,000 miles second. and
the beta rays are negatively charged
bodies projected at a speed Of quite
10000 miles In the same interval Of
time. Roughly. the beta rays are
hundred times more penetrating than
the alpha rays, while the gamma rays
In their turn. are hundredfold a.
searching as the beta rays.-E1change
