RADIUM.Glass vessels in which radium has
been washed acquire its power of emit.ting rays.A bit of radium as big as a grain of
sand sends out enough rays to blisterthe 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 thewhole national debt of Great BrItain,not allowing for any further decline inthe price of consols.Sir William Crookes still believes
that the amount of energy in the uni-verse is a constant quantity, and hethinks 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.

THREE TO ONE TREE.For Murder of Bullard guilty -Negroes
Paid With Their Lives.
Albany, Ga., June 20.-Bakercounty was the scene of a triplelynching early this morning. Theaffair took place about a milefrom Newton, thecounty seat, andtwenty-one miles below Albany.The mob's victims wore George
McKinney, Garfield McCoy andWiley Anette, negroes who on lastSaturday night cowardly murderedF. S. Bullard, a respectable Bakercounty farmer.
Bullard had gone to the houseoccupied by one ot the tenants ohhis place in order to quiet a free-for-all fight that had started amonga company of negroes who wore en-
gaged in a Saturday night frolic.Bullard's interference was resentedby 14cKinney, McCoy and Anette,who were from Miller county, undthey opened fire o1 the white manwith revolvers, inflicting woundsfrom which death resulted on
Tuesday.Six negroes present were more
or less seriously wounded duringthe shooting, and one may die.McKinney, McCoy and Anette
were captured Monday and placedin jail at Newton. Their guiltwas fully established at a commit-ment trial oil Tuesday. Therewas some talk of a lynching, butlittle attention was paid to it,there being an apparent willingnessto allow the law to take its courso.The three murderers were not
destined, however, to be legallytried and punished. It was justat midnight last night that JailorWilliam Screws was called fromhis bed by Bailiff B. 0. Tucker,who had arrested the three mur-d(.rers The officer stated that hehad another prisoner for jail, where-upon the jailor hastily dressed andprocended to the jail, accompaniedby the bailiff. The front door ofthe prison was opened and thejailor entered. In the twinklingof an eye, it seemed, a dozen mensprang out of the darkness andpistols were thrust in the face ofJailor Screws, the light of hislantern 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, McCoyand Anette were in the hands ofthe mob. James 8tory, who ischarged with the murder of John1Leonard, colored, about a year ago,was also confined in the jail, buthe was not molested. 1.1 the ex-citement of the mob's attack, Bai-liff Tucker's prisoner made hisescape,The mob wasted no time. Fromn
the jail it patssed out'of town,goingdirectly wvest. A mile beyond thetown ligfhs it found a tree thatevidently suited its pu1rpose. Thepi isoners' hands had ahi eady beentied behind them, and nooses ofhemp rope weoro quickly slippedover their heads. The three piecesof rope were throwvn over a stronglimb, eager halnds pulled on thefrfae ends and the three bodies weredrawn clear of the ground.The swinigin~g bodies were then
riddled with bullets. it is statedthat hundreds of shots were fIred,the clothing being literally shotfrom the bodies.The lynching is deplored by
most of the people of Baker county.It was totally unexpected, the mobhaving perfected its plans withoutattracting attention. Tile fact thatBullard's family is left in destitutecircumstances, his wife being ahlopeless invalid, helped to inflamepublic feeling against the murder,ers.
