Radium in Trash Heap

A needle containing $1,000 worth
of radlum was lost four days from the
operating oom of st. Mlchael's hospi-
tai In Newark, n. ]. 1t was missed
after an operation, and doctors tool
A-ray photographs of the patient I'M
der the belief hat the needle, which Is
no longer than a very small sewing
needle, might have remained in the
wound. After further search a radium
company of Orange, volunteered use
of a detecting device. When the in
strument, which has a dial on which
a hand swings when radlum is near,
was first tried in the operating room,
the hand did not move. Then someone
suggested that the incinerator, where
trash is burned be Inspected. AS soon
as the device was brought close to
the incinerator, the hand swung around.
Police and hospital attaches sifted the
ashes and found the needle.

Honored Anatole France

In describing the funeral of Anatole
France which took place while he was
In Paris, William Lyon Phelps In Serb.
ner's Magazine, says:
"As n man Of letters, Anatole France
was an arIstocrat; In politics, he was
a Communist. Thus his appeal was
universal, and II was interesting to see
all classes of people represented
among the mourners.
"Of the honors paid him. and they
were innumerable and extremely va.
rled, n particularly impressed me.
There was to have been a play ut the
Coincide Franchise on the afternoon
OF the funeral. Although the house
had been sold out. the performance
was cancelled. and the money returned
to ticket holders"

Cat Has Gained Fame
as Weather Prophet

Ever since the total eclipse of the
sun scientists, storekeepers and post
boys In Middletown, Conn.,, have had a
wholesome respect for W~eathervane,
the meteorological cat of East Hamp-
ton, which has been offered to Presi-
dent Coolidge by its owner, Louis
James, the Boston Transcript says.
The cat predicted fair weather for
the eclipse when all the astronomers
who came to Middletown to set up
their Instruments to view the eclipse
were getting cold feet and taking out
rain insurance to protect their eXpedi-
tons from loss If the rain should come
on that day. The success of Weather
vane's prediction on that occasion Won
him name and fame as surely as did
the prediction of the 1883 blizzard for
the late Horace johnson of Middle
Haddam.
Weathervane was a founding and
was picked up by Ellis Hughes of East
Hampton and taken to a warehouse in
that village. Mr.. Hughes told Richard
Gillon, an employee, to give the cat a
bed OF blankets and to allow 1t the run
- DS "oAciiouSS. MI. IluSucs noW
claims he showed the cat a thermom-
eter, and declared hat is what stirred
the meteorological instincts of the ami
NAL.
Later Louis James tool the cat
home to his wife, who gave it some
catnip and three meals a day. The
cat thrived under this treatment and
soon began to predict the weather with
a success that babe fair to rival that
of the United States weather bureau.
Those who have learned to decode
the cats forecasts say he is unerring
in his predictions. For several years
now he has been giving valuable dope
on the weather. This is done by man.
nerisms and purrings as weather
changes impend. Strong, rhythmic
purrings forecast fair weather. Con
tortions announce sudden changes. A
naughty attitude indicates a frost. If
the cat insists upon rolling wei there
will be ice or snow.
Weathervane Is not handsome and
does not take to many people. A great
many, however, now come to the James
house to find out what the weather is
to be.
