Antwerp, the port, lonit connected with
New Tork and mora recently with Boston by
regular steamship servlcea, a favorite cata
wi y of entry to Europe, an emporium for
the argosies of every nation thla li a elds
of the picturesque old Belgian city which
immediately Impresses moet American
traveler, though they find the whole city
full of spectacular and entertaining fea
turea. There la, In fact, no better intro
duction to the old world than through
Antwerp. The a p poach ia more pictur
esque, the domination more Interesting
than that at the termination of almost
any other voyaire. Aboard one of the big
Unera you salt up the broad Scheldt "gray
eat of gray rivers," aa It has been called
looking down on either aldo upon the wide
expanse of the Netherlands protected from
the river by dykes, picturesque with wind
mills, steeples, hamlets, copses of birch
and oak and plantations of Scotch fir. In
the thick atmosphere everything appears
flattened out, so that one seems to be
looking almost at stage scenery. Every
where, too, at closer hand, are encoun
tered the odd Dutch river craft plying
batween Antwerp and the ports of Holland,
so heavily laden with merchandise that
they often proceed with their decks all
awash. How their skippers contrive to
navigate them In the rough watera of
this tide river for the winds In the Nether
lands blow with prodigious force excites
the wonder of the Yankee tourist Tet
none of them ever sinks.
Active for Twe Ceatarles.
After traversing wonderland for forty
miles one finally approaches the great port,
situated on a bend of the Scheldt, In a
locality where Napoleon once designed to
create a city that should rival the English
metropolis. For two centuries In the old
days Antwerp was the leading emporium
of Europe, and as a trade center it is not
far behind today. The ancient wharves
have been replaced with modern quays
which the tourist finds alive with stirring
nautical life; dock porters in queer blouses,
venders of remarkable liquids, skippers and
crews of Dutch canal boats, sailors of
very known hue, speaking every known
' tongue. The porters are particularly en
tertaining, wearing a huge cloth that rov
era head and shoulders and lifting with
apparent ease boles of cloth or wood pulp
that must weigh 400 pounds. The perform
ers In this drama of commerce are cosmo
politan, aa at every seaport, but the back
ground la Flemish, with delightful glimpses
of ancient buildings seen through the nar
row streets.
Such Is the stranger's Impression of nau
tical Antwerp, which, as he usually lesms
with some surprise, has within a short
time become greater In the extent of Its
commerce than anv other Knmu.. i-
axoept London, but which, despite the bust-

has kept Its present so congruous with its
past that it remains the most distinctively
European of continental cities.
Baslaesa of Last Year,
The statistics, Just published for the year
of the commerce of he one steamahtp
line, the Red Star, which mantalns regular
connection with American porta, are in
themselves eloquent of the growth of this
seaport, situated upwards of forty miles
inland. Buch increase In a single year are
little ehort of marvelous, and Justify the
Napoleonic Idea, that this is the Ideal loca,

These Cruras reveal the rapidity with
which Antwerp la advancing in favor with
the shipping people. Its trade with the
various South American countries and with
the Eaat Indies Is large, and Its connec
tions with the Vnlted Bfatss are steadily
Improving. With New Tork It has long
been firmly bound and. although Boston
has no passenger service to this port, the
new connection which the International
Mercantile Marine company .established
about a year ago has already contributed
to awell the total of the commerce. The
cattle, for Instance, which appeared aa an
Import for the first time In 1903, all came
by way of Boston.
Iosltlea of Advaataare. .
What gives the city of Antwerp Its par
ticular advantage over European competi
torsand the competition for transatlantic
trafflo has become very keen Is the com
bination of quays and basins with thHr
network of connecting railways, which
make up decidedly the most admirable sys
tem of terminal facilities on the continent
of Europe. Great basins and docks ex
tending lar Inland, together with dry
docks, have been created and further very
Important developmenta are In prospect.
The Scheldt Itself, In the neighborhood of
the city, Is from flOQ to ,000 feet wide, and
has a mean depth of about thirty feet at
low water. In the days of the Renais
sance all the shipping was gathered about
the lower part of the city, near where the
celebrated Maison Hanaeatlque, built In
1564 by the celebrated Hanaeatlque league,
still stands and does commercial service.
To the Imaginative forealght of Napoleon,
however, these quays slong the river front
did not suffice. He conceived and started
the vast aggregation of maritime baslna at
the north end of the city. The two oldest
of them all, which the French emperor
himself conatructed, are the Petit Bassln
and the Grand Baasln. In these, entered
fron the river by a narrow channel, a
number of good-alxed veasela can at any
time be moored for discharge of cargo.
They are, of course, still In use, but they
early proved Inadequate to the needs of the
port, so that at a somewhat later period
another system of Interconnected basins
was started. The entrance to these Is
through a deep canal, running from the
Scheldt Into the big Bassln du Kattendyk,
whlqj. serves as a sort of central clearing
house for the other and more distant
baslna, such as the Bssaln Mexico, the
Bassln aux Bols, the Bassln de la Carplne
and the Bassln de Getelage Nord. There
are likewise several dry docks or cales
seches. .
This collection of docks, great as It Is, Is
not regarded by the enterprising Antwer
plans a a finality. On the contrary they
hold It aa only a question of a few days
when the "grand coupure" or great cut
will be built, intersecting a big- loop of the
Scheldt Just above the city. When this
thing happens the importance of the port
will be greatly enhanced. ' .
PIGGY WOULD A-HUNTING GO

oa Earth.
Lewis D. Hollenbach of Jordan, Lehigh
county, Pa., has a little pig that he Is will
ing to pit against the foxiest hound in east
ern Pennsylvania as a rabbit hunter.
Knowing that there wa a rabbit hidden In
a thorn bush in the meadow the other day
Hollenbach released piggy from the sty,
and led the way to the meadow, the little
grunter following aa closely and attentively
as a dog would have done. Near the bush
the pig stopped, pointed like a hound and
grunted as If he were greatly exolted. when
out of the bush darted the rabbit and made
a dash for a ledge of rocks half a mile
awav. ' v
Then came the oddest chase ever wit
nessed In that vicinity. Piggy, with snout
close to the ground, took up the trail and
closely followed the scent, now leading his
master across the meadow at a lively gait.
Imagine Hollenbaeh's surprise when, at a
large pile of rocks, the pig halted, raised
one of his fore pawa and grunted with
satisfaction, exactly In front of the hole in
which Mr. Rabbit had taken refuge.
Hollenbach now says: 'Til train that
little porker for an all-around hunter yet.
If only I can keep down his weight, and by
careful feeding curb his appetite. If a pig
can hunt rabbits successfully, why can he
not also take up the trail of the deer In
Pocono mountains, and lead me to the apot
where a good shot will bring- down the
flneet of game? I'll try him at It. cure's

BILLY TAFT AS A RUSHER

ment, tells the Tale students in a letter to
the Tale Dal!y News how his class tore
thins up around the Tale campus on
Washington's birthday during the annual
cane rush. He alluded to the part played
In thla celebration by BUI Taft. as he was
known at Tale In those days. He said:
"On account of the slse of the claas, and
because we were a pretty husky lot, we had
little difficulty In holding our own with '78
or B0. There were two men, however. In
'78 that I still remember, and they were
terrors. One waa Bill Rowner and the other
was Bill Taft, whom every Tale man on
earth knows now by reputation, and who
haa Just taken his seat In President Roose
velt's cabinet. Billy Taft was unquestion
ably the strongest man In college, lit
weighed about 226 pounds, and with all thla
weight was as active as a cat, and, al
though he was at the head of his claas In
studies, yet I think he loved a rush more
than anything on earth.
"I never forgot a disastrous personal en
counter I had with each of these gentlemen
In a rush that took place previous to Wash
Ington'a birthday. It started In on Pros
pect street, and the fight went from there
through to Whitney avenue, through the
fieMs and swamps. When Whitney avenue
was reached, most of us had little on, but
as it was a steaming, sweltering mass it
made but little difference whether we were
clothed or stripped; In fact, the let a we
had on the more comfortable we were.
Early that evening, I remember, Billy Taft
got hold of me, and we separated from the
crowd to have It out. 1 had the under
hold, but I might Just as well have had no
hold at all. With his weight and strength
he simply overpowered me, and It was
scarcely a moment before I was down.
Never before or since have I felt such
power."
HOW TO OBTAIN RADIUM
Srlentiflc Explanation of a Process
Which Is Mot Intricate or Even
Difficult.
Very few people unversed in the mysteries
of science are aware of how the new sub
stance, radium, the properties of which
have astonished the world, is obtained In
the minute quantities that are as yet avall
ble. That the element Is obtained from
pitchblende is generally known, but some
details of the exact process will be of In
terest. Operations for the extraction are
commenced by crushing the pitchblende
and then roasting the powder with carbon
ate of soda. After washing- the residue is
treated with diluted sulphuric acid; then
the sulphates are converted Into carbonates
by boiling with strong carbonate of soda.'
The residue contains radium sulphate,
which is an exceedingly Insoluble salt. The
soluble sulphates are washed out and the
residue or Insoluble portion Is easily acted
upon by hydrochlorlo acid, which takes
out among other things, polonium and ac
tinium.
- Radium sulphate remains unattached, as
sociated with some barium sulphate. The
sulphates are then converted Into carbon
ates by treatment with a boiling; strong
solution of carbonate of soda. The carbon
ates of barium and radium are next dis
solved In hydrochloric acid and precipitated
again aa sulphates by means of sulphuric
acid. ' The sulphates are further purified
and ultimately converted Into chlorides, un
til about fifteen pounds of barium and
radium chloride' are obtained by acting
upon one ton of cruahed pitchblende.. Only
a small fraction of this mixed chloride Is
pure radium chloride, which Is finally sep
arated from barium chloride by crystallsa
tlon, the crystals from the most radio-active
of the solutions being selected. In thla
way the crystals ultimately obtained are
relatively pure radium chloride of a very
high degree of radlo-actlvlry. Chicago

Why the Restoratlv Succeeds
You may ell and rub, adjust and repair
a weak engine. It will never be stronger
nor do lis work belter, without a learn.
Mure power mre steam Is necessary.
And no with the vital organa. Doctor
them aa you will. That s mere repairing.
Permanent cures never come save through
treating the nerves that operate those
organa
And that my Restorative does.
After almost a lifetime of labor of study
at bedxhles and research in hospital I
made thla dUcovery. I found a way to
treat, not the organs themselves, but the
nerves the inside nerves that operate these
organa and give them power aiiu strength
and health. That discovery has shown me
the way to cure.
It makes my offer possible.
I know the remedy. I never can forget
the study, ail the research, the trial and
tests that perfected It. I have watched Its
action year after year ill cases difficult, dis
couraging. Time after time I hav seen
It bring bark health to thoae poor ones
whom hope had almost deserted. I know
what it will do.
My only problem is to convince you.
And no I make my offer. And the bare
fact that I make auch an offer ought of it

Is broad Is liberal. The way Is easy la

But do not misunderstand me.
This Is not a free treatment, with nothing

But I believe In a sick one's honesty his

to keep the plant In operation the Black

keep the plant running.
"In connection with this feature will he
