A Virginian veteran used to tell how Andy Jackson used boles of cotton In tho ramparts tbttt he threw up In do fenso oC Now Orleans, mul It was nat urally n matter of Indifference to Ultu whoso cotton lie employed. Some of tho cotton happened to bo Jons to n rich merchant. The mer chant followed his bales with dogltko devotion, lie could not bear tu tear himself away from them. He was standing over them when Jackson tin pencil to draw near, and. running up to the chief, bo will: "Monsieur. It Is damage for your men to take my cot ton. All property Is sacred uud must bo protected." "But," said Jackson, "are you mire this Is your cotton T" "Oil. sure, most sure." said the mer chant "I know the marks, nil of them. Kt puis, nlora. thla cotton, sir, must be defended." Jackson turned to n private and told him to fetch n musket at once. The musket being brought, tho general laid It lu the merchant' arms and said with n grim smile: "My friend, you are the most proper person 1 know of to defend your own property. Stay here. then, and do to. Btlr at your peril." ENERGY OF RADIUM. On Ton of It Would Equal In Powtr 1,500,000 Tona ef Coal. If ono could utilize tbo energy of a ton of radium through a apace of thir ty yeara tt would bo sufficient to drive ahlp of 15.000 tons, with englnea of 10.000 horsepower, at a rate of fifteen knots throughout the wbola thirty yeara. To do thla 1,500,000 tons of coal rs actually required, aaya the Chicago Tribune. Theso are not fanciful figures, for the energy Is there, though, aa a matter of fact. It Is unlikely that man will ever produco much more than half an ounce of radium a year. Still, the fact li Important for this reason that science Is convinced that the radium In radium bromide la not tho only clement which possesses this marvelous store of energy, but that the calcium In gypsum and the sodium In common salt contain also this energy content Tbo evidence of the wonderful atomic energies In the common elements of everyday material Is rapidly accumu lating, and scientists aro of tbo opinion that perhaps theso same discoveries may In tlmo alter tho whole future of tho human race.
