be produced at will Tests were then
made to show the exact nature of the

the in1lamma bic material no explosion
took place. There was ro heat ana no

that was at all likely to start combustion,
but all failed.
BOILING WATER DESTROYS IT.
The only thing that would destroy the

taking it from the water it resembles
green quartz cold and dead. On heating
IT again, however to the point of incan-
descence. it regaired its luminosity with
the same powers as. before, It was then
that several pieces of radium were manu-
factured and sent to scientists throughout
the world, and this is how Prof. Langley
came to receive the queer little thing
done up in leaden box.
Recently Prof. Bach. of Berlin, a noted
scientist, has made tests Of the light,
with a view to establishing its claims to
permaneney, ana was unable to discover
any waste of material what tever. He gave
it as his opinion that it would require the
lapse of 100000 years or more to destroy
the luminosity of a piece Of this radium
no bigger than a quarter of an inch
square. When it came to explaining the
reason for the lights existence, however,
he was dumb.
Even as the discovery stands today. it
is one of the most useful on record, as
small pieces may be used to illuminate
dwellings, public buildings and theaters,
with the absolute certainty that there
would result no flame from their extin-
guishment, as sometimes happens from
the use of ordinary means of lighting,
and that the expense OF maintaining them
would be absolutely nothing.

ORIGIN oF9LIGHT.

ORIG1N OF' 1LiGHI.
The origin of light as accepted by the
layman is that it Is merely the demon
stration of energy produced by the de-
struction, combustion er consumption of
certain substances, like coal. oil or gas
Heat is produced by the destruction of
burning coal. This, transformed into
motion by the steam engine and the dy-
namo, results in electricity for arc and
ineandescent lights. In short, no arti-
fetal light has ever been made for mans
use that has not been the result Of some
material that was consumed, in order to
make it. A feeble light without heat is
obtained from phosphorescence, but
even this owes its origin to the slow
consumption of the substance that pro-
duees it. To produce light without the
expenditure of some, sort. of energy has
been looked upon heretofore as an idle
dream, but the discovery of the wondeT-
full properties of the X-ray caused the
scientist to put on his thinking cap. The
Array discovery proved that there was
more than one form of radiant energy,
although all of them have the same quail
tiles in certain directions, yet entirely
different in others. Thus, while the pow
erful rays of the sun were unable to
penetrate a thin piece of cardboard, the
X-ray, which could hardly be seen, was
able to go though wood and metal. This
fact contradicted the universally ac-
cepted theory that the power of light
was due in all cases to the material con-
sumed. Experiments along the line soon
convinced scientific students that ura-
MUM possessed remarkable qualities
that it had the power of absorbing light
and emitting it afterward. 1t was then
discovered on experimenting with salts
of the metal that it would produce .-ub-
stances having properties similar to the
| X-rays ana that while they could not
be seen by the human eye they yet had
| the power of 'fogging'' a Photographic
plate when brought in contact with it.

Doing Penance For Sins.

IN former times persons guilty OF
grievoUs and notorious offenses We're
required to make open confession and,
further, to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly in u white sheet
in their parish church. The sheet WAS
used TO show clearly to every one
which was the offender.
The last time that public penance
was done in an English church was
on Sunday evening. July 80. 1882. when
4 man named Hartree, in the church of
All Saints, East Clevedon. made an
open confession of immortality and
promised TO perform the penance thus
imposed on him by the vicar.
No white sheet was used on this &C.
casion. The last case in which one
was used appears TO have been one in
st. Bridget's church. Chester, in 1871.
But on that occasion the penance was
not public, the church door being
locked.
In the previous year, however. pub
lie penance in white sheet was done
in country church in Essex, and q
similar thing occurred in Ditton church
near Cambridge in 1S49.-Stray Stories.

DOCTORS PROPHECY.
About Grape Nuts.

DIR. j. II. Hanaford, one of the old
est physicians in Reading. Mass, says
in the Practical Age: II firmly believe
that Mr.. Post has rendered IL greater
service to humanity than any other
man living, i'm the matter of TODD.
He claims, with propriety, think,
that his new food, Grape-Nuts, made
from the most nourishinG elements of
the grains, contains nourishment in
one pound equal to ten OF meat, wheat,
oats or bread.
From the acquaintance that l have
had with this unusually nutritious
article, / am satisfied the statement is
truthful and demonstratable. l am in
clined to believe the food will effect
considerable of revolution in soci-
ETY., to the extent that it is intro
duced."
This was written by DIR. Hanaford
several months ago. The rapid spread
of the use of Grape-Nuts all over the
country has demonstrated that the
dector's prophecy has already come
true, to an extent, at least. Perhaps
never before in the history of food
manufacture has such rapid progress
been made as with Grape-Nuts. 1t
