Cady gave an interesting talk on "Recent Changes in the Viewpoint of Chemistry," at the meeting of the Chemical club, Wednesday evening October 19th. He reviewed an article written by Madam Cure, the French chemist, on the subject of the properties of the element magnesium radium, and showed the possibility of proving the atomic theory. The work completed by Madam Cure was done during the summer and the paper has just been received by the chemistry department. Metallic radium was prepared for the first time and was proved to be radio-active as it compounds. The work with metallic radium is a very delicate operation, since only very small quantities can be used. Madam Cure, in her experiments, worked with a little over1-10 of a gram. OREAD NEWS NOTES.

What Kansas Can Do in One Year Wheat Crop ... $ 64,000,000 Corn Crop ... 83,000,000 Butter Sales ... 9,500,000 Boultry Sold ... 10,800,000 Total Farm and Live Stock ... 975,000,000 These are big figures, but Kansas is a big State, with 10,250 miles of railroads; exceeded by few States in the Union. The building of the Union Pacific Railroad in Kansas was a bold project, alike in during and conception. Today the Union Pacific covers 3,411 miles of splendid roadbed, safeguarded by an automatic electric system of signals. More than 26,000 freight and passenger cars and 1,000 monster locomotives are required to meet the demands of the public. An army of men receives millions per year in wages. Such activities are important in the growth and development of a State, and Kansas needs prosperous railroads as the Union Pacific needs the support of the people of Kansas. We have a book on Kansas and its resources which will be mailed to some friend in the East for the asking. Please send us his address. Every Union Pacific Ticket Office is a bureau of railroad information. Make your wants known there, or write to me. Gerrit Fort, Passenger Traffic Manager, Omaha, Neb.
