Precious Salt.

What is known as "radium" Is a
radium salt, usually either radium
bromide or radium chloride, some
times radium sllphate. Tiny grains
of these salts are extremely precious
and are usually sealed up in little glass
bulbs.

that were received in London had q
curious history. a physician In Port
land place was applying the bulb 10 a
patient when lie accidentally let II fall,
and moment after crushed 1t under
his foot. The value of the radium TO
the physician was very great. He re-
moved his boots from his feet and cut
our square az his valuable carpet.
He HAD boots and carpet burned. and
aut of The ashes refined the original
radium salt.

"The piston is in The form OF a
solid iron rod that enters the cylinder
through hole pierced in the middle
Of one OF the ends" writes Henri
Fabre, "and just large enough 20 give
free passage TO the rod, without let
ting the steam escape. This rod is
bound TO another iron piece, called a
crank, and finally the crank is attached
TO the neighboring wheel. The
piston, advancing and retreating in
turn in the cylinder, pushes the crank
forward and back, and the crank thus
makes the great wheel turn. On the
other side OF the locomotive, the same
things are taking place by means of a
second cylinder. Then the two great
wheels turn at the same time and the
locomotive moves forward"

N r L U E N z A
. STATEMENT FROM THE TERRI
TORIAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

This disease is assumed to be caus-
ed by a small bacillus which is con-
stantly associated with the disease.
Influenza occurs ~sporadically, in
epidemics, and in great pandemics
such as the recent, and in many
places present, worldwide outbreak.
The period of incubation, which is
the length of time from the initial
exposure until the first development
of the disease occurs, is usually from
As to 70 hours or longer.
Influenza, or Grip, is an acute in
fictitious disease characterized by
fever, by catarrhal irritation of any
or all of the mucous tracts especially
the respiratory, by muscular pains,
pains in the back and in the extrem-
tiles, and severe headache. The at
tack may begin with a chill, another
way of onset is by extreme and sud
den prostration. Mental depression
is also a frequent symptom. There
is always more or less fever. Slight
at times and again very high. More
frequently it does not exceed 1882 F.
which usually prevails for three days
and then subsidies to normal temper
allure. 1t is just at this point when
the patient is beginning to recover
from the facilitating effect of the dis
ease that he should carefully avoid
exposure to further infection.
The treatment of the majority of
cases is simple. At the onset of the
disease on should go home at once
and go to bed. Call in a physician
and follow his directions. The con-
clusion of the case is generally
favorable where the patient goes to
bed at once or at least houses him.
self for he is almost sure to ecove
in four or five days. Do not attempt
to fight through the disease without
losing a days time from your bust
ness for you only open the way to
severe pneumonia complications and
extreme prostration. The most seri-
GUS complication of this disease is
pneumonia. 1t is often invited by ex-
posture during convalescence or in an
attempt by the patient to fight out
the disease without giving up. A
most important fact to be remember
ed in this connection is the tendency
of influenza to develop latent disease
into active disease.
