DEFENDED HIS COTTON;
Andrtw Jaekaon Showed Ha Had s
Qrlm Ssnss of Humor.
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.
