He never | supposed it would be of value. but re- | cently decided to investigate. He and his companions on their trip went from the British Northwest to Mexico in their | search for all pitchblend deposits they | could find. The result was the pur- chase of 300,000 acres at $350,000. The samples of pitchblend have been tested chased min nia. that the owners of these deposits wiil now be able to produce radium at half the expense now required. Dr. Barns- dale left to-night for Chicago to in- spect some emelter machinery and he claims that in ninety days his company will be producing radium which will be put on the market at $2,500,000 per pound. —_—— BOSS OF TAMMANY HALL OPPOSES INSTRUCTIONS ¢ tional Convention Should Be Free and Untrammeled.

A PUZZLING PROBLEM IN EXCHANGE VALUES Gives Thoéught Financiers. “On New Year's eve, while we were sitting out the old year, somebody started the following appalling fiscal problem. We have spent our time ever since In seeking a solution, and are now driven to ask your readers to help us: “In the United States a Mexican dol- lar has an exchange value of only 99 cents. In Mexico a United States dol-| lar has the same value. On the fron- tier of the United States, where Texas joins Mexico, are two drinking saloons, one on each side of the frontier. A man buys a 10-cent drink of whisky at the for American dollar. He receives in rhange a Mexican dollar. Therewithal he goes to the Mexican saloon and buys a drink of whisky, receiving an Ameri- can dollar in exchange. It is evident that the limit to his purchasing power is merely the length of time he can continue on his feet. He wakes event- ually with a bad headache and the original American dollar with which he started. “The puzzling question is—who paid for the whisky?’—-C" James London Gazette. —————— Pleads “Official Death.” A curious incident occurred in an English police court recently when a man named Travis was sentenced to ing a postal order by false pretenses. He pleaded that he was ‘“officially dead,” and his story was that when with the British army in South Af- rica he deserted,~obtained some clothes from the Kaffirs, made his way to the coast and worked his pass- age home. He then discovered that he was reported dead, and though he subsequently gave himself up as a deserter the War Office gave an of- ficial assurance that he had ‘“died at the front,” and would not arrest him. —New York Tribune. —_———— ‘Would Fill Every Need.

The superstitious notion is extant that there must soon be a great war because ‘the opening years of every century have always been thus marked. Of course, if the latter were true it would form no sufficient reason for a war at this time. A century is not a natural division of time, as is a day, a season or a year, but is entirely artificial, and there is no more reason why war should occur at the beginning than at the middle or the end of it. However, as a matter of fact, the statement is not true, as every one at all acquainted with history should know. 2 The nineteenth century began with the establishment of more general peace than the world had known for many vears, and if a couple of years later war broke out it was only the renewal of the wars that had marked the cldsing years of the preceding cen- - tury. The eighteenth century began with wars, but they were merely the continuation of conflicts begun in the seventeenth. The early years of the seventeenth were marked with more peace making than war making. The wars at the opening of the sixteenth century were prolongations of those in the fifteenth and were, at most, petty affairs. Those at the opening of the fifteenth were left over from the four- teenth. There were no important wars in the first years of the fourteenth cen- tury, save those at Constantinople and between England and Scotland, both legacies from the thirteenth. No great war occurred in the first decade of thé thirteenth century or of the twelfth. At the onening of the eleventh Mah- mud of Ghazni invaded India. The tenth was marked with no new war, nor was the ninth. The eighth was ten years old when the Saracens invaded Spain. The béginning of the seventh was peaceful. The first years of the sixth and fifth saw Rome involved in war, but war was then the habitual state of Rome. The fourth and third began in comparative peace. The sec- ond saw no new war, but rather the ending of the old struggle in Dacia, | these last nineteen centuries, year and the next few years should be peaceful. But we shall make no such prophecy, nor shall we expect this ex- position of the facts entirely to demol- ish the foolishly false superstition which now so widely prevails.—New York Tribune. —_——— British Orchids. It may to many seem somewhat ex= traordinary to write of a fleld of ore chids in England; but such an occure rence is not altogether uncommon. A' few years ago, while botanizing in the neighborhood of Burnham Beeches, a correspondent in the Garden writes: “I came upon the most beautiful dis- play of wild flowers it has ever been my good fortune to see, namely, a large fleld whose surface was a blaze of color, varying from deep purple almost to white, made by the flowers of the early Orchis, O. Morio. I have never seen such a colony of this pret- ty little orchis, nor had I any idea that it ever grew so abundantly in our meadows. I have, however, since heard of other similar instances.”"— London Globe. and the fierce conflicts of the early years of the first century of our era were merely the continuation of those begun a dozen years before. In all indeed. not more than two are to be charged with having opened with new and im- portant wars. Of the centuries before our era, the first began in peace; the second with nothing but the second Macedonian war; the third with the third Samnite war; the fourth with no great struggle; the fifth with the burn- ing of Sardis and the battle of Lake Regillus, continuations of wars begun long before; the sixth with Nebuchad- nezzar's conquest of Jerusalem. and in the earlier centuries, so far as chronol- ogy informs us, there were no initial wars of magnitude. The current supérstition, then, isin a noteworthy degree contrary to the facts. Instead of being invariably or even generally marked with the out- breakings of great wars, the begin- nings of centuries have in the vast ma- jority of cases been remarkably free from such catastrophes. If we were to form any rule from historical . prece- dent’ it would be, therefore, that this R . ADVERTISEMENTS.
