Famous Art Collection.

The unique collection of Chinese
works of art made by the late Ii Hung
Chang, one-time viceroy of China,
which for years collectors tried vainly
to acquire, has finally been bought by
Swedish syndicate. The purchase
price is understood to have been more
than a million krone (nominally about
$28OOOO), but the intrinsic value OF
the collection is incalculable.
Ii Hung Chang died in 1901. He
had a collection Of works Of art larg-
er than anything Of its kind in the
empire. 1t included numerous old
paintings, bronzes Of great worth and
ancient ceramics. The brOnzes date
from a time before Christ, and the

Making fun Of superstitution is
the principal business transacted in

starring Dorothy Gish, which will ap-
pear in the Elko theatre tonight

Radfum Economy.

The use of radium onca large scale
therapeutically involves danger of
loss, and this factpf. has been big
one in inducing hospitals and clinics
with a gram or more OF the%element in
use to utilize radium emanation in
stead of applicators containing the
radium itself. There has been in
stalled in a Pittsburgh laboratory an
elegant and useful apparatus for the
collection, publication and tubing Of
radium emanation obtained from a
salt of the element. It differs from
earlier apparatus in that liquid air Is
replaced by chemical means Of puri-
flying the emanations, which are felt to
be more reliable.-Scientiflc American.

In the picture above there are some
clever table decorations. They are
merely suggestions and do not include
cats, bats. ghosts and witches that
may be had in large or small sizes on
the printed bolts of paper and used for
lanterns, place cards. candle shades,
etc. The jack-O'-lantern ut the right
of the picture is made Of yellow and
black crepe paper. His location In the
scheme of things Is in the center OF
the table where refreshments are to be
served. Here he is mounted on low
pasteboard box, either square or round'
covered with crepe paper and contain
ing paper caps or small, mirth-provok-
ing souvenirs. These are distributed
to the guests when they are seated.
The lantern ut the center Is made
OF printed crepe paper and is to be
used over electric lights. 1t Is adorned
with short, narrow strips OF crepe pa
Per, each ending In little ball OF
paper stuffed with cotton. Below the
lanterns are two place cards cut from
printed paper, mounted on tnln caIu-
board and fastened to small disks OF
cardboard in which the gents names
are written. The last figure at the
left shows a candle shade made OF
printed crepe paper mounted over
frame of wire or cardboard.
There is nothing formal about the

Games and pastlmes for the evening
