Ashland Waters Radioactive.

(By A. w. BOSlOuSn, M. ~
The question has frequently been
asked, what is meant by radio-ac-
tivity?" a term applied to some of
our mineral waters by different au-
thorities.
The word Radioactive" means that
the substance in question has an in
herent power to give off light and
heat. This power is not confined to
radium, but is also possessed by
other substances, such as uranium
and thorium. Radioactive waters
are those which either carry radio
active substances in solution, or else
carry charges of emanations from
radioactive substances, of which
group radium is the most important
element.
In 1900 Professor and Madame
Curry discovered radium, the pres
ence of which was first detected by
means of the electroscope. Radium
is a substance of high atomic weight
and is extracted from pitchblend, a
substance which is found in old vol
canic formations. Radium is diff
cult and expensive to isolate and,
once isolated, must be kept in heavily
loaded vaults to maintain its volume.
1t is known that it discharges, at
the sacrifice of it's own volume and
weight, intense rays Of light and
heat. The light is sufficient to take
an X-ray picture, and the heat is suf-
ficient to melt it's own weight of ice
every hour.
To appreciate why substance is
radioactive one must understand
certain principles of physics:
/. That all matter is composed of
atoms, and that these atoms, in turn,
are composed of electrons. The cleo
tron is believed to be the smallest
particle of matter and has been esti-
mated to be thousand times smaller
than an atom. The electrons either
carry charges of electricity, both pos

DEFACING THE HIGHWAYS.

Grants Pass Courier: The demand
of the club women Of southern Ore
gon in convention at Ashland, that
the law prohibiting signs upon the
Pacific Highway can be fully met
through enforcement by the officials
of the act placed upon the statute
books by the 1915 legislature. This
act prohibits signs, placards, posters,
etc, upon state highways, the Pacific
Highway clearly coming within the
provisions of the statute. Section 2
of the act reads as follows:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm or corporation to paste
paint, brand or in any manner what
soever place or attach to any build
ing, fence, gate, bridge, tree, rock,
board structure, or anything what
ever, within the limits of any state
highway, or upon the property of an
other within the view of such high
way without the owners written con-
sent, and written, printed, painted or
other advertisement, bill, notice, sign,
picture, card or poster, except within
the limits of any city, town or village
through which said highway may
run"
The act excepts from the provisions
of the act such notices as are re-
quired by law to be posted. This is
a most comprehensive statute, and if
properly enforced would add much
to the beauty of the highways.
For years there has been a mania
with billposters to deface points OF
scenic attraction with gaudy adver-
tisements of their wares, and as one
would gaze in awe upon wonder
Nature had wrought he would have
his vision filled with a glaring de-
mand that you chew such brand Of
gum or smoke another brand of to-
bacco.

prolonged exposures to either the X
ray or to radium produces severe
burns with destruction of tissue. 1t
is this property of radium which has
been utilized in the treatment Of can
Ger to destroy the tumor.
Experiments show that certain Of
the Ashland waters are radioactive;
which radio activity must be unques-
tionably be due to the presence Of
radium either carried in the water as
the substance radium or its salts, in
which case the waters will not lose
their radio-activity and are more val
liable from the fact that they can
be bottled and transported. But if
the radio-activity is due to absorp-
tion of radium emanations as the wa
ters have percolated through radium-
charged volcanic formations, then the
radio-activity is soon lost upon shak-
ing and handling.
The loss of volume in radium from
its inherent power to give off light
and heat has been estimated as one
half in a period of 1,760 years. In
the next 1,76O years one-half of the
remaining volume will be lost, and
so on ad infinitum. By this we see
that a given quantity of radium will
never actually disappear, but that it
will continually lose one-half of its
volume every 1,760 years.
The activity of radium is measured
by the so-called "Mache" unit. From
five to twenty-five thousand mache
units ingested daily is the approx
mate dosage.
A substance to be radioactive
must be of high potential energy and
must possess an inherent power to
convert its potential into kinetic en-
ergy.

tive and negative, or are themselves
electric charges; their precise con-
stitution is yet uncertain. 1t is, how
ever, known that they are in con-
slant motion, revolving and vibrating
as rapidly as one thousand million
times per second.
Q. Power to change the state OF
rest or motion of matter is known
as energy, and energy, like matter,
can neither be created or destroyed.
Stored up, energy is potential; util-
lied, it become kinetic. Radioactive
waters are continually giving off
their store OF energy, inasmuch as
radioactive substances are in a con-
dition of perpetual vibration Cmo-
tion).
8. The vibrations revolutions
and excursions) of radium and radio
active substances are transmitted and
made appreciable through the me-
dunn of ether. Ether is a hypothet-
ical substance, existing in and be-
tween the molecules of air and fill
ing all of the interstellar spaces OF
the universe. Vibrations of this
ether, at different rates, give rise to
what we know as light, color and
radiant heat.
Radium is an element of high
atomic weight in which the electrons
are closely crowded together and in
state of continual and extremely
rapid motion. This constant cleo
tronic motion (electronic storm
causes some of the atoms or elections
to be shot off at an extremely high
rate of speed. 1t is this continual
loss of electrons which gives rise to
light and heat waves and which
makes a substance radioactive.
Radium emanations have been
studied and three different kinds Of
rays have been found therein: First,
the Alpha or positive rays; second.
the Beta or negative rays; third, the
Gamma or neutral rays.
The Gamma rays are stronger than
the others from Photographic stand
point, and from physiological stand
point are the most powerful in af-
fecting the nutrition of the cells Of
the body.
The Beta rays, the negative, are
valuable in stimulating cellular
growth.
The Alpha, or positive, rays are
weaker than the others and, appar-
emily, are of the least Importance.
Radium emanations may be COM
pared with the X-ray as regards the
ability of both to cauterize and de-
stroy the tissues of the body. 1t is
a matter of common knowledge that

NOT WITHOUT CREDIT.

"A prophet is not without honor
save in his own country" The poetry
of Bobby Burns was not appreciated
till he had been dead a hundred
years. The works of Shakespeare
laid dust covered on bookstall shelves
SO long that when dragged out the
evidence of authorship had been ef-
faced by time.
Such is the lot of those who ware
away in public service. 1t has always
been, and likely always will be, the
mood of society in the aggregate.
Those who enter service in the inter-
est of society should expect nothing
less. Therefore, the only warranted
hope of the public benefactor is to so
build that, at least, future genera
tions will render the credit due. For
the present he must work with an
eye single to the results he aims at,
allowing no tickle sentiment or crit
icism to turn him from his steady
course. Human society always has,
some time, and always will, some
day, render justice, honor AMI praise
to those who have been real public
benefactors. Work worthily and well
done will surely, some time, bring its
proper reward. 1t is the law.

Enders has started a recall. Greer
is in favor of it getting to a vote. If
the majority of the people think
Greer's usefulness in the enterprise
is at an end, he will take his medi-
cine without sigh or i'll feeling.
The success OF the enterprise is more
important than Greer's feelings. If
you think Greer is unfit for the place,
pull him out. That is the preroga-
tive of the citizenry.
However glad Greer would be to
get out, he will not resign under fire.
The people must say whether Greer
stays in or gets out. Whatever that
judgment may be, he will be salts

The large majority given Olcott
over Moores in the state republican
primary tells a story that should be
needed by standpat republicans.
Moores is a clean and capable man,
his only handicap being his adher-
ence to the old republican machine.
Olcott has fought for clean, inde-
pendent politics and holds service
above party regularity. His large
majority over Moores can mean but
one thing. Oregon republicans are
progressive, first, last and all the
time, and honor the man with inde-
pendence and courage enough to
stand for his opinions regardless of
party bossism. So mote it forever
be.
