pxplodiltg, cartridges in the various fires
which burned' all the barracks. The fVfrst
fire of the Mexicans from their retreating
train was not answered by the American
soldiers, but later a party of Mexicans
which apparently .was attempting to Mow
up the railroad bridge, fired on a detach-
ment of the Ninth Infantry and the fire
was returned, driving them away. With
the exception of the two men said to have
been killed while attempting to set fire to
the "bridges, there were no reported ca-
sual ties among the Mexicans, and there
'was not even a wound on the part of the
Americans.
Tonight the fires ar^ still burning furi-
ously, several new fires having been set
since sundown, a nil from time to time a
new fire is reported, indicating that the
Mexicans are still employed in their work
of destruction.
The fire did not reach the river front
save at a few places and the only place
blown up was the American consulate
which evidently was the first place fired.
LAKE BO IS UNEASY.
Tonight there is a feeling "of uneasiness
among the citizens. Although the Xintfr
Infantry is patrolling the streets, aided
by the local militia company, the Laredo
Rifles which responded to a «all from
Mayor. .McComb and have lwen on duty
since" tile beginning of the extf.&us yester-
day'. ...At the two bridges the guards have

known as Indian crossing, and the re-
mainder of tile regime,nt is ordered to re-
main within the cauip subject t<» talis for

The officers are wearing their side arms
by order, of Colonel Crane, commanding
the Niuflj. because of a conversation of
some Mexicans whUfh was overheard by
an American the other night, in which one
of the Mexicans suggested that it would
be a good Idea to "pick off" the officers
as they wacdered about the streets at
night.
Much anxiety is manifested among the
citizens, who believe the rumors that the
Mexicans are coming back and attack the
town, although the army officers do not
place much credence in the report. t"p to
the present the town is quiet, despite the
constant patroliug of the streets.
The Mayor ordered all saloons closed
soon after the burning of Nuevo Laredo
began and tonight the picture shows shut
their doors.
The general opinion of the Mexican pop-
ulation here, especially of those who saw
their property, which they had abandoned
last night, destroyed wilfully by the Mex-
ican Federals, is loudly pronounced and
that is was a wanton act of vandalism
without excuse or warrant.

in cargo nets, hoisted the officers' personal luggage, the quartermasters type-
writers, the bands' big French horn, the cooks' posts and pans, their own
brown canvas cots and dog tents, the company tents, the headquarters' tent%.
.Donkey engines snorted, winches creaked, the whistles of the boatswins and
the rattle of the running chains were part of a chorus of haw-hawing mules
, aid panting motor cars fighting for a'place in the front row.
No one had slept and yet on the part of the enlisted men there was no
"sign of weariness. Hundreds of them stood in ranks still bearing on erect
shoulders the heavy packs with which they had just hiked through the night
and fog. Their eyes as they gazed up at the great transports of white and gold
. were impatient, eager, slert.
Before I arrived here I had the idea that by the hands of our not too scrup-
ulous enemy even one of our boys should lose his life, even in defense of
the honor of the flag. But as I looked at them from the transport at their
broad shoulders carrying the packs as lightly as a lady carries her opera cloak,
at their cleancut confident faces, and steady, confident eyes, I found my sym-
pathy had been misplaced. My sorrow is entirely for the Mexicans .
At a moment of departure like this the women should keep away. They
make a cruel assault upon the feelings. For one year this brigade has been
quartered at Fort Crockett and the families of officers and men have joined
them. In a year they have made this pretty city seem like home. So this
morning those who are left behind are supplying a human note that keeps you
completely miserable. It may be the white-haired mother of an officer, she
who arrived yesterday and who last night while dining happily with her son
heard him ordered to the front; or it may be the young wife and the children
of the captain, s!ie trying to play the part of the soldiers' brave bride and
tpaking a rotten failure at it, and the children swarming up over his shoulders
utterly selfish, utterly unmoved, concerned only with the big white ships; or,
if you look the other way you find the sergeant gazing unhappily at the sky
while his wife sobs on one shoulder, her mother sobs on the other shoulder,
and numerous female friends and relatives wail and weep. They make him
fee' he is as good as dead already. But, in an hour he will be at sea, with
hi« duries tp perform/with his orders to give and to receive.
But tire woman,, whither'she lives on the line of near the barracks, goes
from the wharf to echoing rooms filled only with ghosts and sits down to wait.
Here is the hardest part, and that fact cast the only shadow that fell this morn-
ing over a mobilization and embarkation that should properly bring pleasure
and pride to every American.

For the present, however, the American
troops will make no effort to seize the
International bridges even though as is
coounoiTly understood several of them are
of American ownership. The troops prob-
ably will content themselves with training
artillery on the Mexlcaji ends of the

American, was arrested, but later re-
leased.
At last reports, the messafie said, the
engineers had not been released. No
names were given and tbe number of en-
gineers is uot known. The reason for
their arrest was not given. The news
was announced In the following statement
Issued by the Navy Department at 12:30
o'clock tonight:
"The department Is la receipt of a dis-

source information had been obtained that
all English locomotive engineers of Mexi-

authorities and placed In jail at Orizaba.
The latest advices are that they have not
been released. The American chief dis-
patcher at Orizaba was also arrested hut
later released with the admonition uot to
approifth the station. All locomotives
were placed in the hands of Mexicans,
who, it is believed, cannot handle the class
of motive power operated on the moun-
tain.

Radium for the curp of cancer may l»e
right at the door of Kansas City. The
formations in the Oxarka show si^ns of
radium and may attract the attention of
the Government, as lis supervision of the
radium deposits of the Cnltcd Stales
spreads beyond the limits where the Gov-
ernment now is Investigating and assay
lug for the precious element, says the
Kansas City Journal.
"No radium exists iu the soil or rocks
on which Kansas ( ity stands." says l>r.
Hoy Cross, an asaayer at 1013 Grand Ave-
nue, Kansas City. "The element is found
only in the old igneous rocks and in the
soil where uranium exists. The formation
in the Ozarks indicates that the mineral
exists there, though none has been found
so far. Colorado and Arizona are the
fertile fields up to this time."
The movement afoot to have the Govern-
ment supervise all radium deposits of the
country with the purpose of preventing the
shipment abroad of the vsluable product,
has takeu concrete form. "In Denver.'
says I>r. Cross, "there is a Government
assay office that does nothing but Investi-
gate soils for traces of radium in an ef-
fort to open up larger deposits ami bring
the price of the valuable element within
the reach of all. Today the Cnited Stales
nroduces about half the world's supply,
nut none of it Is retained in this country.
It Is shipped abroad for refinement and
cornea back to this country at greatly in-
creased prices."
And what if they do discover,this valu-
able element io the neighborhood of Kan-
sas City?
Well, It has been a 1 moat decided that
radium is a cure for cancer, aud It also is
known that less than a gram of the pure
product Is livtbe laboratories of the world.
And why so scarce?
There is a greater percentage of gold
in sea water than there Is of radium even
In the soils where it Is found. Tons and
tons and tons of pitch-blenilp must be run
through process after process to come
forth as radium diluted with chlorine or
aomc other element, and the whole piece
from these tons is not larger than a pin
point.
Ami supposing they onen up prolific
fields and get appreciable quantities «»f
radium?
Then science will have access to the only
substance or treatment believed to have
benefit lal effects 011 cancer.
And how doe* It work on cancers?
ILM STKATIOV OF ACTIVITY.
Aside from the subject of cancers. Im-
aciuc all the stars of the heavens drawn
close together aud a whole lot more added.
Thru suppose something set these star*
rioting out into space, each one shooting
away from the central mas* with the ve-
locity of light —considerably more than
lOO.non miles .1 second.
That is very similar to the goings-on In
a pinch of radluui salt. Of course, radium,
like uranium actinium and pollonlura. is
radioactive that 1*. it has tne ability to
produce energy within itself nnd shoot It
f«»rth. And when radium discloses its
presence by shooting out these particles
that are seen as light. It is doing Just
what the galaxy of atars would be doing
in the illustration The radium literally
is firing out into *nace hundreds and
thousands of tiny bullets that speed
through the air with a velocity more than
1 orm tlmea greater than tbe faatest express
train.
But remember, the pinch of radium salt
Is only as larc* a pin point and we
have hundreds and thousands of these bul-
lets bombarding spao* <»very second. What
dinky little thlnes these buM* must be.
You know thp radium «-sn keep riaht on
shootinc the«* fireworks for thoussnd« of
years without »*em1ng to grow smaller.
They certainlv must be small— tbes* bul
lets And th»y are A molecule Is mm a
too 1 mail for ordinary purpose An
atom is one of the little component parts
of a molecule, and now comes science to
tell us an electron--of which atoms are
said to be made—is hundreds and hun-
dreds of times smaller than an atom.
But what's an electron to do with it?
Well, in this late day of modern science,
many physicists think all matter, when
reduced to Its last state, is nothing but
electrons In other words, that even the
seventy or more old established elements
aren't elements at all. They believe even
elements can be reduced until they aren't
anything but electrons.
And what's an electron?
Just a particle of positive electricity
and it» mate, a particle of negative elec-
tricity. And so they divide an electron
again and call the positive bit an Ion and
the negative bit a corpuscle. It's Just as
well tney don't know much about ions,
for corpuscles are odd enough to keep ua
interested for a few years to lorae. For.
remember, what a tiny bit of a thing a
corpuscle must be—one seventeen hun-
dredth as large as an atom—and then think
of it traveling tens of thousands of inlles
a second.
Seems odd they should know all about
this speed of a thing that Is smaller than
an atom that can't be seen even with a
microscope. It's just as strange they
should know how much it weighs. But
the laboratory sharps have a lot of new
trb-ks up their sleeves to find out things
of recent years.
But those things have nothing to do
with curing cancer with radium and what
the chances are for Kansas City helping to
supply the world.
Of cc
and beta and gamma rays were under*
stood to some extent before Prof, and Mme.
Curie refined these radio active elements
fcom pitchblende.
Aud what have the cathode rays of a
Crooke's tube to do with it?
RELATED BY SIMILARITY.
Only this: They are so similar in many
ways, in the speed of both the positive
and negative particles, in the weights, pos-
sibilities of being turned aside, and other
properties, it would seem almost stupidity
to pass the similarity by without wonder-
ing if these radium rays were not electrical
in their nature, after they were discovered.
Of course, science doesn't connect them on
any such flimsy ground as that, though.
But, you remember when a Crooke's tube
is excited by an electric current It shoots
out a bright light to the anode end of the
tube. It does a whole lot more than that.
It took a long time for the physicists to
find it out, but it was doing it all the
time, just the same.
Where the cathode rays impigned on the
end of the glass tube It was leaving what
the discoverers first believed a gas, but
called an emanation, to be on the safe side.
But they found that even the emanation
was busily plugging away day and night,
too. They found this emanation was a
gaseous substance that was composed of
solid particles. And this emanation was
sending out its own little bullets that
bombarded through tbe glaaa and out into
space at the same rate as ordinary cor-
puscles, and with Just as much determina-
tion to go right on into apace in a straight
line.
In a lot of these little peculiarities the
radiations from the emanation is very like,
if not Identical with the rays that are sent
out from tbe radium. Maybe It was for-
gotten that the radium, in bombarding
space, throws off this same aort of ema-
nation that, in turn, bombards space Just
as the other emanations from the X-ray
tube.
But it Is easy to get too technical. Let's
keep close to the original piece of radiutri.
when we can. The emauation from the ra-
dium is unlike the radium In that it seems
to deteriorate when tbe radium la removed
and it has to stand on its own legs. In
fact, after a few hours It decreases and de-
creases In strength until It hasn't any ra-
dio active properties at all. Funny part
about this proceeding is that the radium
that supplied the emanation with its ener-
gy gets back its lost strength lust as fast
us the emanation loses Its radio activity.
Radium is the busiest little body we
have. It la constantly shooting out these
fiery bulleta, thousands of them every sec-
ond'. Aud it la gobbling up from some-
where just about as many as It sends out.
So it just about holds its own, and re-
mains constant, at least so far as science Is
able to discover.
And about the cancer and the connection
of the disease with radium. A loug time
