a pinch of which is worth a king’s
ranson is believed ‘to‘be existent in
the hills of Virginia. a few hours’
ride "from Washington." Government
scientists are watching with deep in-
terest ekperiments now under way,
and it the tests are successful the
wealth of Virginia wiilldwaxf into In-
signliicance the riches of the Klon-
dike or the Nevada mining camps.
For some time past chemists and
mineral engineers have‘heen pusnled
to account for the varying tempera-
tures of the mineral springs in the
Warm Springs Valley of Virginia. Al-
though fed by the same underground
river, the healing waters at various
parts of the valley at temperatures
that range from 56 degrees at Mc-
Gra’w's Gap.- where_the subterranen
stream first "breaks cover” to 106 de.
grees at Hot Springs, noted as a
health resort. For some time the
theory was held that the variance
was due to the waters passing over
beds of minerals, but this contention
practically has been dropped. it Is
now believed that radium is the real
cause fer the strange inequity in tem-
peratures. and the remarkable heal-
Ing qualities of the water are pointed
to as proof of the correctness of the
idea. . ,
Unfortunately, so little is known of
radium that the scientists engaged in
the tests are loath to talk. Even
Webster’s Dictionary balks at the task
of giving a definition of the mineral.
so far as its main work is concerned,
but touches on it only in the supple
merit. _
Webster says radium is “a strong
radio-active substance. probably an
element of high astmlc weight, found
in pitohblende but not obtained pure.
It gives off heat..continuously. Helium
is said to bfi MJIWM’WQW‘ of “its
emanations.’ ‘ ‘ .
‘ The work of investigation, however,
is being pushed forward steadily, and
it Is hoped that eventually the source
of the hot waters will be discovered.
When this source is found, the scion-
tlsts expect to discover a bed of the
precious mineral. The gains to se-
ience and the world, if the search is
crowned with’success, cannot be es
timated. ‘
The extreme reluctance of scientific
men to discuss the matter is reflected
in the acknowledgement made by An-
drew Robertson of Richmond, Va., at
Mr; Robertson is an analytical che-
of th ewaters from Hot Springs
mist and chemical engineer of inter:
national reputation, but he attempted
to dodge the matter and at first deo
clined to give any opinion on the sub-
ject. Finally'ho said?
"Well. in the examination of some
of the waters fro mthe Hot Springs
we saw some evidence, though riot
conclusive. of radio-activity. and it
was proposed ,to investigate themata
tcr more fully? The data we have on
the subject is too light to justify its
publicly going on record as to‘the
radio-activity of the waters."
in spite of the apparent effort made
by all the investigators to belittle the
tests under way, they are being watch-
ed with the most intense interest. Me-
dical men, especially, are eagerly
awaiting the results of the work, for
the discovery of the mineral in satis-
factory quantlties may revolutionize
the practice of medicine.

Rifles and Amunitlon Sent to Curb
Unrest Amongst Threats.
LAHORE, Punjab, British india.
27.—~Rifles and twenty rounds of ball
cartridges have been sent to the local
volunteers in menace of signs of
market unran spin-g the Hindoo stu-
dent elements. The publication of
inflammatory and seditious _ articles
in the native newspapers. inciting race
hatred against the Europeans and de-
mending native control of government
in indis by means of an elected par-
liament, has been followed recently by
riots at Lahore and elsewhere in the
Punish. and by attacks on Europeans.
Professional and political agitators are
now fomonting strikes on the railroads
and the government has concluded
that it is time to suppress the rioting
by forcent means if necessary The
authorities are satisfied that a deter-
mined front will speedily end the out-
ward signs of disaflectlon, especially
as they have the unanimous support
of the great Mohammedan population
who at numerous mass meetings have
emphatically condemned the anti-
European movement. Recent events
have given a remarkable impulse to
enlistment in the volunteers. The re-
cruits inculde five judges of the Sup
reins Court the director of Public in-
struotion. university professors, high
government officials and leading bank-
ers and merchants. all of whom have
entered the ranks as privates.
