NECROLOGICAL.
DR. J. A. WILLIAMSON.
Dr. J. A. Williamson, after a
protracted illness of several
months, died at the home in
Newark December 1, 1903, from
Bright’s disease.
Dr. Williamson was an old and
honored citizen of the county
and had been identified with the
material development of Newark
for many years. He had many
friends and his influence and
helpful hand will be greatly
missed by the people whom he
has helped so long. Batesville

MRS. LEONA C. BOWEN.
Mrs. Leona C. Bowen, the wife
of William M. Bowen, died Fri
day afternoon at 5:45 o’clock,
aged 38 years, at the home of
Mrs. Flora Kimberlin. Through
out her sickness, and it has been
a long one, commencing seven
years ago, when the family re
moved to Salt Lake from New
port, hoping that a change of
climate might benefit her health,
she has been an object of tender
devotion, whose every wish was
gratified.
The funeral will take place
from the residence at 2 o’clock
tomorrow afternoon and the ser
vices in accordance with an ex
pressed desire of the deceased,
will be held at the grave in Wal
nut Grove, conducted by Rev. C.
C. Cline.
Mrs. Bowen was born in Mem
phis August 18, 1865. and was
married in Newport October 2,
1899. Her sickness caused the
removal of the family to Salt
Lake, when after a residence of
four years there they made their
home in Los Angeles, Cal., until
last September, when they turned
backward to Arkansas.
The deceased was a membei

RADJUM EMANATIONS.
_ i
Scientlut Thinks the Wonderful Sub
eitaiiee Can He l»ed to Cure 1
l’ul uioiia rv Tuberruloais.
Frederick Soddy, who was Prof. Ruth- ;
: erford, assistant at McGill university, i
in Montreal, lias suggested another use
for radium. He argues that as it has
j been found to cure consumption of the
skin (lupus), it should also cure con
sumption of the lungs, if its rays can be
brought to bear directly on the diseased
! lung tissue, without any intervening
. substances, such as the chest wall. At
first sight, says the Scientific American,
this seems rather a difficult thing to do,
as it is, of course, out of the question to
place any solid mass of radium within
the lungs themselves. But recent stud
IKS Ila*Vi* oliunu umi. i auiuiu iu n ovs* ul*vs.u
| gives off a gas and that this gas is itself
I radio-active. So all that is necessary to
I subject the Internal lung tissue to the
I direct action of radium rays is to breathe
! a mixture of air and the radium gas. By
this means Mr. Eoddy believes a new and
; | valuable remedy for consumption will be
! available to the pathologist. The rays
from radium have already proved use
ful in the treatment of several forms of
skin disease, and it has been suggested
, that the insertion of minute particles
'; of radium in the interior of a career is ,
worth trying. It should be remembered,
however, that even if radium proves val- j
uable in the treatment of pulmonary tu- !
[ i berculosis, its cost is so high—several
i hundred dollars a grain—that it could '
not come into general use under present
conditions.
llirtl.s That Illush.
11 An observer finds that some
, ! birds blush. He writes: “We have a
very fine specimen of the blue and yel
low macaw which displays this trait—
1 not often, for he is remarkably good
j tempered—and the ‘blush' is an invari- j
a able sign of anger; so much so, that we
“ I warn all friends that while his cheeks
1 I remain white all attacks are feigned
3' and In play ar.d can be disregarded,
i yet if the ‘danger signal’—red—shows,
1 j to look out and keep out of reach.”
I The owner of a blue and orange macaw
! says that its white, parchment-like i
J face becomes bright pink, especially
above the peak, whenever it is angry
_ j or excited.
