Many amusing scenes are enacted

much merriments was excited by the
efforts OF a stout, good-natured look
ing woman to secure seat for young
man, evidently a relative, who had
come into the theater after the house
had pretty well filled up. She had
succeeded In securing seat herself
and holding another one by the me-
dium of sundry wraps and parcels,
alongside. pretty well down toward the
stage. In front of these she stood
sentinel. anxiously scanning every
new group that came in. Finally she
saw the young man and began wildly
to wave her handkerchief at him, but
apparently he was looking everywhere
save In the right direction. Meanwhile
several seat-hupters had eepied the UNI

vious and suspicious glances at 1t.
The situation was becoming critical;

denizens ct the gallery, quick to seize
an opportunity, began chorus Of

wise resolution to stay just where he

A new radio active substance has re-
Gently been found by NJ. a. Debierne,
to which he has given the name of ac-
tinium, says the New York Post. The
new substance is obtained by treating
pitch blende with the reagents used for
the extraction of titanium and thorium,
and it is said to produce the same phe-
nomena of fiuorescence, Photographic
action and ionization. as radium and
polonium. Actinium has the general
characteristics of thorium, but does not
follow that metal through all its reac
lions. If u barium or bismuth salt is
added to a solution Of the new sub
stance, the salt may be eliminated by
means of ammonia or Sulphuretted ny
drogeR without destroying the radio ac-
tivity. All the experiments of magnet
ic DETECTION may be repeated with ac-
tinium, and it also produces to a slight
extent the permanent, induced radio
activity described by Curie. 1t is known
that the salts of thorium are feebly "a
do active, and it is suggested by the
author of this investigation that their
radio activity may be due to traces Of
actinium and that the latter is the ac-
tive principle of thorium radiations.
