RADIuM.
A New Chemical Which Is Better
Than the X.RaY.

Prof. George L. Parker, of the ply
steal laboratory of the University Of
Pennsylvania, exhibited last week for
the first time in 4 merica, the newly
discovered chemical element radium.
which seems destined to create a great
stir in the scientific world. Years ago
Bequerel found that salts of the rare
metal uranium possessed the power of
throwing off feeble and invisible ra-
dance, like tie y rays. Nine Curie. in

hcmian mineral pitchblend two other
elements that behave in the same man.
ner. but are far more active. one of
them she called "polonium" and the
other 'radium." The latter is said to
be 100000 times SIS intense as uranium
in lis Photographic effect.
Prof. Barker has been experimenting
with all three of these elements and
with the mineral (pitchblend or ura-
nltel from which the two new Gle
ments are derived. He showed To the
photographed Club here this week a
series of Photographic plates on which
impressions had been produced by
these substances. His procedure has
been rs follows:
a Photographic plate was inclosed
In black paper and then covered with
yellow paper. After one whole days
exposure TO the sunlight no effect was
produced. This pr9caution proved the
thoroughness of the protection. Then
the various metals and salts were
placed upon the paper-covered plate
ana they produced dark stains.
In order TO take photographs of oh
1ectS such as hand or foot these OBJ
jects would he placed between the met
ri and the plate. and the result would
he similar to those obtained by the
y rays such substances as bone would
show clearly through the flesh and sur
rounding tissue. \ photograph can be
taken by means of radium in half
minute.
The importance of this discovery
can hardly be overestimated. The won
derful results of the Y rays now so
useful in surgical diagnosis, can he du-
plicated by a method much cheaper.
Moreover radium seems to suffer no
diminution of energy or loss of weight
during the process. In addition to pro-
ducln9 an impression on the photo
graphic plate, rad!um produces phos-
phorescence. and discharges electrified
bodies. Thus ii will lie seen that it
possesses all the qualities of the Ro-
entgen rays.
"Radium apparently violates one of
the fundamental laws of physics.
namely. that of the conservation of en-
ergy. 1t does not derive its photograph
ic power from the sunlight nor lose 1t
by expenditure" IN Y. Tribune
