Rather astonished. I said. Yes"
What kind of a man is he?"
.'Oh, a very good fellow"
He is like all them high-up doctors,

No" said I. THAT is always exagger-

well, I've had lot of doctors. and l
amt no better, and now 1 haven't much
money left
Upon this my friend confided to me all
his physical woes in detail We parted
before daybreak. 1t was too dark in the

TION OF GOLD.

From The London Standard.
At the meeting of the Royal Society yesterday
two of the papers read announced results which
would nave been thought incredible not so many
years ago, and indicate the singular deIicacy of
modern methods of research in chemistry and
physics. Sir William CrOokes told the tale of
the hunting of element which very possibly
may prove TO be new. He has not, indeed,
Yet so completely stripped off its DISCUSSES 10
De able To pass it round the room in a tube but
its final capture has become only a question of
time and of d sufficient supply OF material The
game was started in this way: The compounds
or a comparatively rare metal called uranium,
used in the arts 10 produce certain green vel
low and black cOlors, have been shown by NJ.
Henri Becquerel 10 emit rays capable of af-
fecting a sensitive Photographic plate through
a material which Is opaque 10 ordinary light
Two other substances much more rare, called
polOnium and radium possess this property in
a still greater degree, and some had suggested
that the apparent activity of the uranium COM
pounds might really be caused by small guam
titles of these metals.
Their discoverers. however, NJ and Nine.
CLrie deemed this TO be impossible, and al
frrned that the property of emitting rays which
can act in the dark on Photographic plates be
longs to uranium, and TO another rarity, called
thOrium. Sir. ". Crookes, however did not feel
satisfied that the former material was the real
cause Of this strange result series OF pre-
liminary experiments showed him that at any
rate, pitchblende. an oxide or uranium, from
which the metal IS chlcIN obtained IUr cuAlIler-
ciaI purposes. possesses this property more than
any other substance The cause, therefore,

The next thing 10 determine was whether this
singular action in any way depended on the
particular salt of uranium After a number or
delicate -yperirnents Sir w. Crookes found that,
as a rule this not the case-that an eN-
