CILLETT OFFERS COMPROMISE.

ST. Louis, Jan. 2. A special to the
Republic from El Pasa, Tex., says:
Charles F. Hunt, a wealthy cattle
dealer of Texas and proprietor of the
ralacio hotel at Chihuahua, Mex ,
has announced that he has succeeded
in effecting a compromise betweem
Grant C. Gillett, the fugitive Abilene,
Kan., cittle plunger and his creditors.
Gillett has b-.-en in the vicinity of
Chihuahua for over a month and has
been in constant communication with
his ttrn v. C li- Troxel.who is also
in Mexico. Through Troxc.1, liilltt

went to Kan-as City last work and on

Hunt dec

will profit by the compromise, as
Hunt estimates that he took $65,C00
with him to Mexico in his hand satchel
aud received $40,000 from the United
States on Christmas day by express.
He owns 2,200 head of ordinary cattle,

offancv bred cattle valued at 8-00
each "Hi homestead is said to be in

NEW ELEMENT IN PITCHBLENDE
It I Called Polonium and Han Extra
ordinary Properties.
The results recently published In th
Comtes Rendua by Mr. and Mme. Curie
on the apparent existence of a n
chemical element existing iu the mln
eral pitchblende are of more thn usual
interest, from the extraordinarv nron
erties which the new element, called
by them polonium, would appear to
possess. Pitchblende Is an ore ot
uranium found among other places in
me tin mines of Cornwall. It pos
Besses the property of emit
ting the rays. or form
I energy,
ot
known
as
the
Bee
querel rays, rays which Mr. Beequerel
found to be given off. especially by
uranium salts, but as to the origin of
which we know nothing. By careful
analysis of the mineral, guided by the
radiant energy of the products separat
ed during each operation, the authors
nave been able to demonstrate the ex
istence In pitchblende of a new ele
ment, which Is said to possess 400
times the activity of uranium as re
gards the emission of this radiant en
ergy. With the exception of this new
element, the only known elements
which give off similar rays are uran
ium and thorium, and possibly to a far
less degree the rare element tantalum.
These emitted rays are capable of mak
ing the air a conductor, and also of act
ing on a photographic plate. They can
ue rerracted and probably reflected
The physical condition of the metal
Siviug rise to the emission seems of
secondary moment. Although only
practically two elements are capable of
these emissions, it is noteworthy that
the rays emitted by uranium possess
distinct characteristics from those
emitted by thorium. Inasmuch as the
uranium rays are found to be polarized
by transmission through tourmaline.
whereas the thorium rays are not pol
arized. How's Thin.

Life oa a Torpedo-ISoat.
So injurious is life on a torpedo boat
that a year's continuous service will
mentally and physically incapacitate o
man. This assertion is made on the
authority of Lord Cnrles Beresford. but
that the strain on any one serving on
these crafts is very great is shown
by the fact that to one month's serv
ice the Biitis-h naval regulations allow
one week ci'r. Austria is endeavoring
to mitigate the hardship o service on
these boats, and life on one built for
the Austrian navy, and tried on the
Thames recently, was demonstrated to
be pleasanter than on those of the
Englishnavy.

An ordinary passenger tar on a
steam railroad costs from $1,000 tc
$5,000 and wilia 38.00O pounds, or
nineteen ton. a mail car. which
costs from $2. (toil to $2,.riD0 and i.
shorter by about cue-quarter than tlif
ordinary passenger coach, weighs 32,
000 pounds, or nix teen tons. A bag
gage tar without the baggage in 4"f
weighs 28 000 pounds, or fourteen toift
and costs about as much as a mail
car. A sleeping car is more expen
sive than any of the others and il
weighs a good deal more, too. A
plain, simple but durable sleeping car
with observatory attachments, liter
ary annex and culinary department
costs anywhere from $10,000 to $20,
000. The average weight of a sleeping
car is from twenty to twenty-two tons

ordinary weight of the railroad loco
motive for passenger service, inclusive
of tender but not of fuel In the tender
is forty tons. One baggage car weigh?
fourteen tons and one mail car six
teen Ions, bringing up the weight ol
the locomotive and the baggage and
mail cars to seventy tons. Six pas
senger cars at an average of nineteen
tons, weight of baggage, of the fuel
carried and eight cars would be 184
tons, or 3C8.000 pounds, exclusive of
the passengers and mail matter. Pull
Ing 184 tons along rails at the rate ol
fifty miles an hour or more is an
achievement which has not been easily
brought about and the more the prob
lem is studied the more clearly it it
understood how far mechanical work
on railroads has been pushed. Thert
were by the last figures reported 36,-
000 locomotives in use on the Ameri
can railroads, 2C.0OG passenger cars
and 8,000 mail and baggage cars. Thes
figures seem large until compared witb
the number of freight cars on Ameri
can railroads, and then they seem in
significant, for the number of freight
cars in use is 1(2."0,000. Freight carf
among the railroad men are divided
into four classes flat cars, such a:
are used for the transportation of
stone, machinery and lumber; boa
cars, such as are used for the transpor
tation of grain, fruit and ordinary
merchandise; stock cars, such as are
used for cattle, and coal cars, such as
are used for the transportation of
coal and oil those used for oil being
supplied with tanks. The average
weight of a fiat or gondola car
seven tons. The car costs-from $300
to $400. Box cars weigh a tun more
aud cost $100 more each. Stock car
weigh eight tons each on the average:
coal cars weigh three tons each
It
costs about $200 to build coal or oil
cars, and they are designed to carry
five tons apiece. The weight of fifty
coal cars is 150 tons, and of their con
tents, if all filled, 250 tons, which with
locomotive and caboose added, makes
420 tons as the weight of a train. It
may be added, roughlj-, that the weight
of loaded trains, passenger, coal or
freight, ranges from 200 to 550 tons
The lighter the train the greater the
speed; that's the railroad rule.
WHEN WELCCSr? T IS WORN OUT
Tactful Hints of Hosts Who Are Wearj
of O nest 4.
An Ohio host, wearied out of all en
durance by the persistency of his guest
chose as his medium the family praye
after breakfast, aud said: "O Lord
bless our visiting brother, who will
leave us on the 10 o'clock train this
morning." I prefer the subtler and
more revereut method of anothet
Ohioan, the father of William Dean
Ho wells, the novelist. His practice
was. when a visitor had worn out hi?
welcome, to be called away on busi
ness and to say to .lis guest: "I sup
pose you will not bs here when I re
turn, so I w'ili isfi you good-by.

This was the signal for departure. 1
admire very heartily the transposition
of a blundering narrator, who, in tell
ing this story, gave the formula as
"Can't you go? Must you stay?" A
fellow feeling makes one wondrou?
kind to this revised version.
