Please send up 1-50th of an ounce.” No, Radium {s not a new health food, as its name may ind!- cate, but beneficlal to the human race as many of the twentieth century cereals may be, they would be of incalculable value if they possessed anywhere near the amount of “raising force” of Radium. For inetance, one grain of Radium, according to Sir William Crookee, who ought to know something about science, having dis- covered the X-ray, could lift the combined British and French fleets out of the water and deposit them in a neat parcel on top of the iulghest mountain jn Scotland. One emall crystal of Radium would keep every flat in New York City steam-heated al! the year round for thousands of years, without the least worry on the part of ten- ants over tho scarcity of coal. A pinch of Radium on the tip of a lady's finger would disturb the entire solar system and make the sun and moon change places. In other words, the most remarka- ble, the greatest discovery that science has ever made is Radium— and your astonishment will only be increased by reading more about it, which you may do on Sunday. Cardinal Gibbons on the Silver Jubilee of Leo XIII. The most remarkable man in the whole world to-day is Leo XII, the twenty-fifth anniversary of whose election to the Papacy will be celebrated next Friday. As Cardinal Gibbons, the head of tho Catholic Church in this country, said to a Sunday World re- porter recently, ‘Buried in the Vatican he knows all, understands all.” The influence exerted by Leo XIII. on the world in general and his Church in particular can scarcely be expressed in a short article, but some facts of great interest will be found gathered to- gether to attract readers of next Sunday's World. Collector Stranahan on the Smugglers of the «400.” ‘What! Smugglers within the pale of exclusive New York seciety? Impossible! Collector of Customs N. N. Stranahan does not say it is impossible, and he should know. He admits that in the matter of robbing Uncle Sam by slipping valuables through the customs they have no more conscience than any other class. Not all of them, of course; but losses in duty of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually are due to the smuggling of this very clase— people all of whom are easily able to pay all that the country's laws ask, There are clever smugglers in the 400" too, and they often ris¥ small fortunes in the dangerous game.

Entrances on Three Thoroughfares, BROADWAY, 8 AND 9 STREET Is there in the Tombs Prison a skilled mind that teaches mut} derere awaiting trial how to feign ineanity, thus escaping the elew tric chair? Evidence certainly pointe that way, for the number af murderers who have avoided the consequences of their crimes by » sudden attack of apparent insanity, and the number of recent at- tempts on the part of others to sham mental disease, have, to say the least, excited comment. District-Attorney Jerome declares that there is undoubtedly an academy for applied insanity in the Tombs, that be knows the “faculty” and ali about ite methods, His story | a
