Man in Seventeenth Century Saw
Wondrous Possibilities in the
Development of the World.

One hundred and four years ago, at
this season, the war of 1872 was prac-
ticalIy over. Peace was signed, at
Client, on the evening of December "a,
1914; and then things moved fast, ac-
cording to existing standards. On
December &c, one of the American Sec
retaries left Client for London, and on
January 2, 1915, he left England for
New York, where he arrived some time
in February, and his news was i'm
mediately delivered to the citizens by.
printed handbills. Other cities, how
ever, had to remain in ignorance dur
ing the time it would take fast rider
to urge his galloping horse over the
roads between them and New York.
The telegraph was not yet invented,
although Joseph Glanvil, a seventeenth
century preacher with an interest In
the possibilities, of invention, had told
the Royal society that ito confer, at
the distance of the Indies, by sympa-
thetic conveyances, may be as usual to
future times as to us in literary cor
respondence" Glanvil, by the way,
also told the Royal society that ito
those who come after us, it may be as
ordinary to buy a pair of wings to fly
into the remotest regions, as now
pair of boots to ride a journey"

Precious Salt.

What Is known as ."radium" is a
radium salt. usually either radium
bromide or radium chloride, some
times radium sulphate. Tiny grains
of these salts are extremely precious
and are usually sealed up In little glass
bulbs.
The radium in one Of the first bulbs
that were received In London had a
curious history. A physician in Port
land place was applying the bulb to a
patient when he accidentally let It 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
out a sQusre Of his valuable carpet.
He had boots and carpet burned. and
out of the ashes refined the original
radium salt

Marine EirefIieS.

The bay of Toyama, Japan, is the
scene of a peculiar phenomenon that
occurs each year in April and May.
The cause Of it is an almost limitless
swarm of cuttlefish that shine like
glowwormS.
The fish are tiny, says writer in
the Boston Transcript, and when they
meet with anything Objectionable they
emit a wonderful display of phos-
phorescence. Every spring the coasts
of Toyama swarm with these little
creatures, and fishermen go out with
special nets to catch them.
When caught in the meshes the fish
emit their light and cause the nets to
sparkle as If charged with electricity.
The people regard the sight as won
derful, and rush in great excitement
to see 1t. pleasure boats are In de
mand on those occasions, and it Is
favorite courtesy to invite friend
to an evening of entertainment In
watching the sparkling cuttlefish.
