Already” stu- dents from ten different states liave signified their intention of being on hand September 20th to take up work. From present indications every department of the college will be in operation from the beginning with a fair sized class of students. The college has put forth.every effort-to have the buildings in readi- ness and the equipment in position for the-fall opening. These last few daya sees this work rapidly nearing completion. North Hall and South Hall are ready for occupany. Trask Hall is in the carpenters’ hands and the offices in the large Business Ex- change will soon be completed. The ‘Musica, Conservatory bas been com- pleted and instruments placed in po- sition. A-series of musical. recitals were given in the conservatory rooms last week, and a piano recital will Be given the coming week. - The new boiler has been installed in the heating plant, making three large boilers for tise in“ heating the buildidgs, and also to be used in con- nection with the machine shops. The new engine and dynamo are being up the articles of incorporation, build the creamery and equip it, turning it over to the association of farmers.at a given price. Now, while we do not wish to say that all such men are swindlers, yet we do advise the farm- ers to look very closely into such pro- posals. This is the very rock upon which most of the creameries that have failed have split. The “agricultural and dairy papers bave ior years been teeming with exposures of swindles of this kind, but every year seems to find a new crop of people ready to bite on such schemes, aid ‘he conse- quence is the country is dotted with expensive worthless creameries stand- ing idle. In localities where farmers feel that a creamery would be a paying busi- ness, it migbt be well to\. investigate and get some reliable information re- garding the building of such plants, instead of paying exorbitant prices for a plant and equipment, which you can just as easily build —— for much less money. The Montana Experiment Station has in preparation a bulletin, for free distribution to the farmers of the ting the farmers to pay exorbitant prices for plants that can be built for a great deal less money. ‘ MYSTERIOUS ‘4ETALS, | —_- -- Discoverer of Helium on the Futi:e] of Radio Active Clements, Sir William Ramsuy, the é:inent, English chemist who discovered helium and argon and who lius experimented extensively with radium,‘is now visit- ing this country. In a recent interview with a New York Tribune reporter he talked interestingly of the mysterious radio active elements. Among other things he said: In England the strange properties of radium have exeted a surprising de- gree of popular interest. I gave a lec- ture on the subject in a hall holding 8,500 people. The building was crowd- ed, and much enthusiasm was mani- fested. We cannot yet say what will come from these discoveries. When I am agged of what use they are I an- sewer: “Oh, what use is a baby? Let it grow up and see!” Of the various theories advanced to account for the evolution of heat and the other strange forms of radiation from radium and allied elemerits the most satisfactory seems to be that some of the atoms in those substances are disintegrating and in doing so lib- erate stored energy. A-few phy like Lord Kelvin were at one time posed*to fancy that the energy was first absorbed from some external source and then given off again. Not having compared notes lately -with Lord ‘Kelvin, I am not sure how far he has modified his views. If we judge from-the rate_at which gas is evolved from radium, or salt of radium, it seems probable that any given masse of it would completely decay and ee pear in about 2,500 years. The life of the three or four other radio aetve metals is very much longer. The theory that an atom is made up ef much smaller particles, which are held together by electric attraction, and is the seat of stored energy is of philosophic importance mainly. It greatly modifies our conceptions of the nature of matter, but at present it has no apparent bearing on the practical work of the chemist. The old formu- lae which were based on the notion of indivisibility are btill_ serviceable. Our new understanding of the Ps however, inay eventually lead to um foreseen results. I have been engaged in researches which are notyet com plete, but which encourage me te think thatthe “electronic” theory of atoms has a career of practical useful- ness before it. Professor Baskervilles belief that he has found two previously unrecog- nized elements in thorium has much to commend it. There is independent evidence of the complexity of thorium. I have myself been investigating the subject, Until I have a chance to talk further-with your fellow countryman, however, I find It-hard_to essa an opinion. As for the so called N rays, which Blondlot of Nancy professes to have found, I can-only say that thus far no one but Frenchmen have been able* to detect them. THE FIRST NIGHT TRAIN. It Was Ren Out of Cumberiand by Heary G. Davis. Henry Gassaway Davis found his first advancement whéni he secured the coveted position of brakeman on a freight train of the Baltimore and Ohio’ railroad, says Leslie's Weekly. It was not long before he was ad- vanced. to the more responsible posi- tion of freight conductor, responsible in these duys,but far more go relative ly in those. At twenty-four be was again promoted, this time to the posl- tion of superintendent in charge of the running of all the trains, He introduced an innovation which marked a decided advance step in rall- roading. Up to that time it had not been considered practicable to run freight trains and passenger trains alike were “tied up,” their Joupneys to, be resumed only when daylight came., Davis held that there was no good rea- gon why they should not be run by night as well as by day and proved it. His first night train from Cumberland to Baltimore marked on importagt epoch in railroading. trains nt night.
