' FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1004. ,'
Hartford Is displeased with the bids
received for' lighting the city streets,
and there is some talk of turning to
Welsbach lights, if the Electric light
company doesn't come down in its
figures. ''
The largest searchlight In the world
has been completed and tested at an
electric light plant at Lowell, Mass.
The machine weighs 7,000 pounds, ifj
5,250,000 candle power and projects fa
beam of light seven feet in diameter.
It will be used fo advertising purpos
es at the World's Fair.
x Those last letters of the late Senator
Hanna and President Roosevelt are
being overworked, It would seem to a
disinterested observer. Perhaps the
president and his advisers think they
are vote getters, and will continue to
keep them doing duty, as long asjsom-a
o the,ir admirers are satisfied . with
the yarns. '
! There is something new urger th-3
sun. It ii scooteringn which an , ex
change describes as, follows: " Compar
atively few sportsmen have yet heard
of scooterlng, but their number will bp
larger hext year. Scooterlng may be
defined as flying over ice and skim
ming over water.'7 Its great advantage
lies in the fact that jou'do not bay
to change cars. The ice-ya;ht. is a
rapid transit device, with infernal ac
cqmmodatlons, and dangerous possibil
ities, If the ice be infirm. The scooter
is an almost equally speedy contriv
ance in which you can find real comr
fort and feel perfectly secure that if
your craft does, happen to take s
plunge into water it wilkreturn to th
Ice again without ; subjecting outo
more serious discomfort than" a dkt
of Spray. The, scooter is a real boat
that travels equally well if not equal
ly fast, over ice or Avater. It has;
metal-sbod runners to carry it over Ice
and a water-tigrt hull to carry it over
water. It has a cq,ckplt that will ac
commodate two persona comfortably
and one or two more on a pinoh. 1 b(
hull is almost an exact "VountelrpartT

! dently derived,"' but the ' bottom is;

Since Herbert Ppencer ' died . there
has come to light, a letter he wrote to
a Japanese friend, with the request tc
show it to the Prime Minister? of Ja
pan, but not otherwise ' to publish ''.it
so long as the authorlivlsaysla
writer in a New York paper. In this
he advises the Japanese .'to hold all
Europeans and Americans at arm's
length, allowing? them to trade in the
ports of Japan, but forbidding, thero
to own 6r even lease land. He warns
his friends that' it ' they pursue a
course which seems ' more friendly
than this, they will'' share the fate of
India. Under one or another - pre
tense the f orei gners will get a perma
nent" foothold in the country, and will
extend their, trading privileges into po
litical control. He also warned them
against intermarriage with the white
races, declaring that the progeny of
such marriages have not the good
qualities of either of 1 their "parents.
And le expresses, his complete ap
proval of the laws, "which . shut the
Chinese out of America, for much the
same reasons as . nfakes' him . wish to
eee white foreigners kept from mak
ing permanent settlement in Japan.
His reason for' asking that the letter
be not published, 'is that he expected it
to make Englishmen angry, as 110
doubt It will.

, It is easy to see that the mere ex
istence of a serious war between two
nations stimulates the war , fever in
the other countries that are mere
spectators of the struggle. Thus a
war tends to demoralize the whole
world. The papers inevitably are full
of war news and discussion; the peo
ple think about military affairs and
have their minds concentrated upon
military conditions at home as well
as abroad. Now, of course, is the time
for jingoes and alarmists and big

A HUNDRED MILfcS AN HOUR.
"One Hundred Miles an Hour' was
for many yeara one of tho will-o'rthe-wiisps
of rapid transit which the the

speed for electric passenger ' traffic,
as a matter of both, scientific'- and
practical interest the thorough Gtr

ments In order to prove the trut,h or
fallacy of these theories advanced.

MARVELS OF RADIUM.
Cures of Cancer and1 Blindness
Cited by Dr. S. G. Tracy.
USEFXTL IN NEBV0U3 OASES ALSO
Ilof Amictd Patient Have Beea
Benefited by the New York Phyi
clan'a Application ot the Radio
Active Blemeat-Marked Improve
ment In Ce ot Dllndneaa.
Absolute cures of ' cancer and blind
ness by use of radium were told of the
other night by Dr. Samuel G. Tracy
of New York in an address bef pre the
Clinical 'society , of the Kew York School
of Advanced .Therapeutics, says the
New York, American. .
The cases described by Dr. Tracy all
indicated that cancer may be cured by
radium and that atrophy of the optic
nerve, heretofore regarded as produc
ing hopeless blindness, had been re
duced so greatly that those afllicted,
after a series of -treatments, were able
to see clearly. A patient who bad
come triumpbantly(out of a poker game
after having been released from total
blindness" was' referred to by Dr. Tracy
as one of the results of the application
of radium. , ' '"' ' ' .-.: ' :
Dr. Tracy cited six cases of treat
ment wlth' Vadium, dealing " with four
different diseases. There were two
cases of cancer, two cases of blindness,
one case of ordinary lupus, a cancerous
affection, and one case of spasmodic
tic, the involuntary-twitching 'of the
muscles of the face.
The first case cited by Dr. Tracy was
that of a man forty-five years of age
afflicted with, a large cancer on the
back of the neck caused by scratching
a mole with his collar "band. The case
was twelve years old when be began
Khis treatment, Dr. Tracy said. After
twenty-five applications the cancer was
completely healed over, and in one cor
ner the skin now, be says, is as smooth
and perfect as In any other part of the
body. -'' ''. V ' 'v:,'f.;-. '
In the second case cited by Dr. Tracy
the patient was fifty-three years of
age, and the cancer had three years'
growth.' -"The nose was affected, and
tbe case was a particularly severe one.
Radium of 500,000 radio , activity was
applied twenty minutes each day for
four days. At the end" of that time
there was marked improvement, and
at the end of the1 eighteenth treatment
the part affected was entirely healed;
Dr. Tracy claims.
In the case of lupus cited Dr. Tracy
says the treatment has not been com
pleted; j ! Twenty-five 'k milligrams.; oof
pure radium were usd,::and great in
provement has .been made. The treat
ment has been continued during eight
weeks three times a week and prog
ress has been steadily made toward a
cure during that time. .
Dr. Tracy cited two cases of blind
ness treated by him. In speaking of
the treatment of atrophy of the optic
nerve, Drf Tracy said:: j - '
"There are those ;among..the,. blind
who can distinguisb,, light from, jdavk
ness. " In' these cases the; optic nerve
receives partial impressions. I have
treated many cases of blindness, most
ly optic atrophy, where blindness had
lasted from seven months to forty
years. I have found little ", Improve
ment in cases of over five years' stand
ing." : .-V,:! '. -."..
The first case of optic atrophy cited
by Dr Tracy .was that of a tallpr
twenty-eighf years 'old, "whose vision
began to be impaired a year ago. The
sight of the left eye was gradually
lost,, and over ' seven weeks ago the
right eye began to fail, and then blind
ness followed. '
' Radium treatment was given with a
tube held over each eyeball for twenty
minutes each day, and the improve
ment, while gradual, he says, was ap
parent. ' It was not steady, for there
were times; when it appeared to re-,
main stationary, but at other times the
improvement , was noticeably ; great .
Since Feb. 8 the treatment has been
given every other day, mnd the im- !
provement has been continuous. The
other day ' the patient announced to '
Dr. Tracy that he had won 60 cents
at poker the night before a clear evi
dence of good sight V
The other case of optic atrophy cited,
was equally interesting. The blind
ness had begun three years before,
and practically total blindness had fol
lowed. ' Now the patient is able -to
count the spots on a card and tell the
suit." ,'. .
In the case , of spasmodic tic, treated
by Dr. Tracy, the convulsive move
ments, of the lower part of vthe face,
he says, were completely cured, while :
the twitching about the eye ; was con- j
siderably lessened. The treatment is 1
still continuing.
From this case Dr. Tracy argues
that the use of radium can be effec
tively applied to nervous diseases. , , ; ,

AN OLD TIME BAND CONTEST
In Which' the Bass Drummer, With
Victory dn His Grasp, Lost.
'l know of my own experience,"
said an old bandmaster, "that it's pos
sible to, have too much of a good
thing.
"The. first band I ever led was lo
cated in an enterprising small town
In Ohio.- -In ; a nearby enterprising
own there was another brass band;
and, whether you might expect it or
not,' there was between these two
bands " the bitterest rivalry; and, of
course in each town the townspeople
never had a doubt that their own
band was the better. And this rival
ry . and town feeling finally led to a
challenge and a public contest be
tween the , bands, in which everybody
in the towns was deeply interested.
"Of course everybody in our town
thought that our band coul( play all
.around the other band, t.nd in a gen
eral way , I will admit I shared this
confidence; but still I knew we were
weak In one point. ' Our B flat cornet
man could blow zigzag musical light
ning out of his instrument as well as.
anybody, and our, bass horn man cer
tainly c could blow, more thunderous
ooniph-ahs out of his than any man I
had ever" known before or have ever
known ' since; and our trombone and
baritone, our clarinet and 1 eolo, and
all the rest, were In the business deep;
but we were weak on the bass .drum.
"Now, right there the tother band
was especially able. It had for a
bass drummer a young- man 'who
could give a bass drum about the aw-
fullest welt you ever heard. Our big
drum man was a better drummer, but
he couldn't begin to belt the drum as
tbe other fellow did, and there we
certainly were weak, and sound, you
can bet counts a heap in, such a con
test. "But.fwe had In our town at that
time a young blacksmith who could
make a hole in an anvil every time he
struck a blow on itl and I got him to
play our bass drum m the inarch.
Of course I knew there was danger
that he'd bust the drum, and so bust
us in the contest; but you can hit a
bass drum a terrible swat without
bursting it, If you know how, and after
training the young blacksmith daijy
for ; a" month, and letting him bus t
three drums to, show 'him just ' how
hard he could hit one with safety and
then providing him tvith a drum with
both heads double, I thought we
could trust him "and that we had the
prize subscribed for by the leading
citizens of the two towns cinched.
"The contest was on a Fourth of
July, and of course all the people of
both towns and everybody from the
surrounding country came to hear It.
And with the two bands really very
evenly ' matched otherwise, we were a
little ahead in the crowd's favor al
most from the start on account of our
superiority on the big drum. The
man in the other band whacked his
big drum something f earf ulT' but our
youngs blacksmith all the time went
him a little better.
"With his greater strength and his
drum with double heads, whenever he
hit the drum he made . the whole
country round ... tremble - and gained
more, favor for 'us with every stroke.
And, he still -had. power in reserve,
and we: would have Von sure if be
hadn't' exerted too much of it. , ,
"Getting more and more wrought" up
he forgot my Instructions and went
beyond the limit. A bass drum will
stand a heap, and this drum was fix
ed for trouble with its double heads;
but this drummer was an anvil
breaker, and I trembled ; now every
time he brought ' the 4 big drumstick
down. Ie was pounding harder and
harder,"', carrying the people - right
nlohff with him, and I only hoped he
wouldn't pound too hard. . But he did.
"We , were playing our last piece
and the whole vast audience sur
rounding the grand . stand that the
bands both played on was still as
death, bearing our boys play and es
pecially watching that man drum and
listening to Its booming. They were
still and silent, but all wrapped UP
and carried away and ready to burst
out into wild applause at the 'finish,
and I knew it, but I. trembled now ev
ery time I saw our drummer raise his
drumstick nnd finally once when he
did bring his right hand down with
double extra tremendous ; power,
smash! went that drumhead, with the
drumstick plumb t hrough it.
"But the half of , the great sur
rounding crowd that stood where It
could see that side of the drum and so
had peen s what had happened, didn't
laugh and it. was in fact, for a- mo
ment anyway, when it saw. the dis
appointed look on the face of the
drmnraer, decidedly sympathetic. And
then they were interested in what
the drummer did. Ho recovered bira
pelf In a moment and swung the big
drum around on its strap o as to
bring the remaining head to where he
could beat it .with his strong right
arm. ; )
"And he might have won for n
even yet If he had only known. ; But
he did not know that with one head
gone , he could not pound so hard on
the other. -Tie was over-nnxious, and
he came down on that remaining
drumhead with more' power than ever
and the inevitable happened.
"With one fearful slam the drum
stick "went through ' that drumhead
and at the same time he lost hold of
It, and ; It went ; flying ' tbroueh the
barrel of the ' drum and sailing out
over the heads, of the crowd beyond
and brottght tip on a fat man's'nose.
And at that, and . the picht of . the
stiekless drummer -'standing on the
platform holding a . big bass drum
with both heads busted and the day
light shining through it, the crowd ex- j
plofled. - ' '"""';': - 'V 1
"Thev laughed ; and . : hollered and
shouted . and whooped until you sim
ply couldn't hear the band it all, and
thev kept on laughing, till they were
