Pacific international Exposition.
One of the most valuable exhibits
commercially, in the Agricultural Pal
ace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition, San Francisco, is
an ancient pillow displayed in the
Massachusetts exhibit, and forming a
striking contrast to the highly-com-
pick modern machinery displayed on
the acreage of floor about it.
The pillow owes it's distinction to
the circumstance that hundred years
ago Daniel Webster's youthful hands
guided it along the burrows of his
fathers farm near Marshfeld, Mass.

Radlum Used to Promote Plant
Growth.

Growth.
Some of the remarkable properties
of radium are being demonstrated by
an exhibitor in the Liberal Arts build
ling at the Panama-Pacific Information
Ial Exposition, San Francisco, in con-
inection with new invention making
possible the radiofying of water for
medicinal purposes.
Demonstrating the power of this
mineral promoting metabolism num-
Der of young plants, some existing
with and some without the aid of ra-
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 a more healthy
appearance.
This inventor has found a 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 it
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 Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition, San Francisco.
They are pictures of shell from 12-
inch coast defense gun in flight, the
/ SCI luSluulu6 LA6 Fd1lOuS pAdoOo VI
the flight beginning just as the great
projectile pokes it's nose out of the
muzzle of the gun.
The pictures were taken with
lens having an exposure period Of
one five-thousandth of a 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
cult in a 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
heavy ring of smoke. A third shows
the shell in flight hundred feet from
the muzzle. The photographs are so
perfect and the exposure so rapid that
scarcely any blur is perceptible. They
were taken at Fortress Monroe, Va, un-
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.

Duplicate of the Roosevelt African
ShotQun.


A duplicate of the shotgun which
Col. Theodore Roosevelt took with him
on his African trip, gun constructed
expressly for him by an American
armorer, is on display at the manufac-
turer's exhibit in the Manufacturers
Palace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition, San Francisco. The
gun cost it's illustrious owner $3.50,
and its beautiful design, graceful
lines and wonderful inlay work would
justify the expenditure to any lover
of fine pieces. The stock is elabo-
rately hand carved, the barrels and
lock are hand engraved, and the lock
is inlaid with hunting scene in gold.
The barrels are of the finest Krupp
steel. Before starting on the trip the
ex-president wrote to the makers: Il
really think it is the most beautiful
gun l have ever seen. I am almost
ashamed to take it to Africa and sub
ject it to the rough treatment it will
receive"
The left barrel is choked and the
right open. 1t is cored to shoot either
buckshot or single ball.
In group in this Palace are dis
plays by four of the worlds greatest
manufacturers of sporting arms, which
form an exhibit which attracts hun
dreds of sportsmen. Each display is
in charge of a firearms expert.
