HEARD OWN BURIAL SERVICE
Dying Millionaire Had What Might BE

Bedroom.

When Mr.. Parker Mason. a shrewd
and level-headed millionaire of the
United States, was on the point of
dying few years ago he conceived the
quaint idea of having rehearsal of
his own funeral service in his bed
room. He called In a Presbyterian
minister, and few members of the
church choir, and the full service was
rehearsed in his presence apd that of
his family and number of his friends.
The clergyman preached an eloquent
and touching sermon on the virtues
and charities of the dying man, and
the choir sang appropriate hymns. At
the conclusion of the service. which
the millionaire had followed with the
closest interest. and attention, he warm
ly complimented both clergyman and
choir on their performance, and after
dismissing them sent for an under
taker and made the necessary arrange
ments with him and had personal in
terview with the pall-bearers. He died
ten hours later. and was buried with
the same service to which he had lis
tened when alive.-Montreal Herald.

It can scarcely fail to affect the posi-

could be properly applied.
AS the matter stands, the innocent
looking radium dial does not seem to
possess any extraordinary amount of
concentrated energy. but this 10 only
apparently the case, and not actually
so; for the reason that while the
amount Of activity manifested by the
radium paint on the dial Is small, this
effect will keep up for $500 years, pro-
vided the zinc sulphide, with which the
radium Is mixed so as to produce a
glow, held out that long. The zinc
sulphide In most cases gives out In
about eight to ten years.
Now, II we could but find a way to
make the radium release all Its energy
in a few hours. instead of spreading
1t over $500 years, 1t would not be
difficult to make a motor that would
utilize this energy.
