A hundred and fourteen years ago
the metal uranium was discovered. It
was found in considerable quantity in
the mineral pitchbiende in Bohemia.
In 1896 Professor Henri Becquerel dis
covered that salts OF uranium emitted
an invisible radiation" that is to say
possessed what chemists call radio
activity. This is the property % con-
stantly throwing of streams Of infini-
tesimal particles that travel with in
conceivable velocity. There vas no
doubt OF the existence OF these rays
for they went through metals and other
solid bodies and produced images upon

Nine. Cure was naturally interest
ed in the radio activity OF the salts
OF uranium and made experiments on
her own account She took pitchblende
and separated its various chemical
components. She found that some OF
these compounds exhibited radio activ-
ity in a more marked degree than even
the extracted salts OF uranium did

top to bottom with heirlooms and is
filed with the musty aroma Of the

A thought struck her, chain of
mental lightning flashed through her
brain. 1t made her eye kindle. her
cheeks flush, her heart beat quickly.
In brief, if the pitchblende compounds
exhibited the strange quality. even
after the uranium had been separated
from them. then were there not other
elements in the pitchblende that pos
sessed the same property of throwing
off the powerfully penetrating streams
of infinitesimal particles? A woman
does not possess real reasoning power,
of course. oh, no. But in some way,
all out of her own head, Nine. Curie
arrived at the conclusion that such
must be the case.
She began a series of experiments on

His wife also is an enthusiast in
chemistry. In the off spells of her
housekeeping and child minding she
has experimental in her laboratory at
home. Not having to dazzle anybody
socially, and both herself and her hus-
band being from choice very simple in
their style of living, Mime. Curie. the
woman chemist who loved scientific
research as she loved life itself, had
considerable time to experiment.
An odd taste, wasn't il, that a woman
should prefer studying and experiment

cocting new costumes which she could
not always afford and shining in So
