A bit of radium as big as a grain of sand sends out enough rays to blister the skin. Radium has been known to give out heat for a year or two with no percep tible diminution. Nobody knows wheth er this process can be kept up indefi .nitely or not. -A ton of radium, according to Sir William Crookes, might be worth the whole national debt of Great BrItain, not allowing for any further decline in the price of consols. Sir William Crookes still believes that the amount of energy in the uni verse is a constant quantity, and he thinks that in some way not yet ex plained tihe radium replenishes its en ergy from the movements of the mole cueles of air surrounding it.

For Murder of Bullard guilty -Negroes Paid With Their Lives. Albany, Ga., June 20.-Baker county was the scene of a triple lynching early this morning. The affair took place about a mile from Newton, thecounty seat, and twenty-one miles below Albany. The mob's victims wore George McKinney, Garfield McCoy and Wiley Anette, negroes who on last Saturday night cowardly murdered F. S. Bullard, a respectable Baker county farmer. Bullard had gone to the house occupied by one ot the tenants oh his place in order to quiet a free for-all fight that had started among a company of negroes who wore en gaged in a Saturday night frolic. Bullard's interference was resented by 14cKinney, McCoy and Anette, who were from Miller county, und they opened fire o1 the white man with revolvers, inflicting wounds from which death resulted on Tuesday. Six negroes present were more or less seriously wounded during the shooting, and one may die. McKinney, McCoy and Anette were captured Monday and placed in jail at Newton. Their guilt was fully established at a commit ment trial oil Tuesday. There was some talk of a lynching, but little attention was paid to it, there being an apparent willingness to allow the law to take its courso. The three murderers were not destined, however, to be legally tried and punished. It was just at midnight last night that Jailor William Screws was called from his bed by Bailiff B. 0. Tucker, who had arrested the three mur d(.rers The officer stated that he had another prisoner for jail, where upon the jailor hastily dressed and procended to the jail, accompanied by the bailiff. The front door of the prison was opened and the jailor entered. In the twinkling of an eye, it seemed, a dozen men sprang out of the darkness and pistols were thrust in the face of Jailor Screws, the light of his lantern at the same time being ex tinguished. "Open the Inner <oor," was the stern command of a gruff voiee. Jailor Screws obeyed with alacrity. In a minute McKintey, McCoy and Anette were in the hands of the mob. James 8tory, who is charged with the murder of John1 Leonard, colored, about a year ago, was also confined in the jail, but he was not molested. 1.1 the ex citement of the mob's attack, Bai liff Tucker's prisoner made his escape, The mob wasted no time. Fromn the jail it patssed out'of town, going directly wvest. A mile beyond the town ligfhs it found a tree that evidently suited its pu1rpose. The pi isoners' hands had ahi eady been tied behind them, and nooses of hemp rope weoro quickly slipped over their heads. The three pieces of rope were throwvn over a strong limb, eager halnds pulled on the frfae ends and the three bodies were drawn clear of the ground. The swinigin~g bodies were then riddled with bullets. it is stated that hundreds of shots were fIred, the clothing being literally shot from the bodies. The lynching is deplored by most of the people of Baker county. It was totally unexpected, the mob having perfected its plans without attracting attention. Tile fact that Bullard's family is left in destitute circumstances, his wife being a hlopeless invalid, helped to inflame public feeling against the murder, ers. tarung Evidence.

Mr. Thornton would have suothing to say of the events of the past week, He said in part: "The white man in face of his boasted civilization stands before my eyes tonight the demon of the world's races, a monster incarnate; and insofar as the negro race is concerned seetas to g ive no quat. ter, The white man is a heathen, a fiend, a monstrosity before God and is equal to any act in the cate. gory of crime.
