Radium, the new substance that is
now calling forth the greatest syste-
matized efforts by the most brilliant
scientific Investigators both here and
abroad, is rapidly unfolding new prop
critics that seemingly defy the laws of
nature, astound the senses and mys-
tify the human mind. Only a fortnight
has elapsed since a new property Of
radium was discovered by Prof. Curie.
In the New York Herald of recent date
| described how radium has been
found to emit heat and maintain a
temperature of three degrees higher
than the air which surrounds it.
1t was over this statement of Curie
that the eminent body of scientists
who have been working on the prob
lem of heat emission of radium be-
came divided into two factions-those
on the one hand maintaining the truth
of the assertion and those on the other
that the statement was irreconcilable
in virtue Of the established laws of
the conservation of energy
But now it has been conclusively
demonstrated by Prof. Curie that radi-
um not only possesses this remarkable
property, but that it's rate of heat
emission remains unchanged regard
less of the temperature of the element

atomic structure being altered in any
way.
Yet with all it's inexplicable proper
ties and mysterious actions radium is
not to be regarded as supernormal
element or that perpetual motion has
been obtained, for radium can be OBJ
tanned by the usual method of chemi~
cal analysis, forming salts and acids
as do other and better known sub
stances, and it's atomic weight has
been determined as accurately as
some of the other rarer elements, all
of which shows that it is of the earth
earthly.
One of the methods applied by the
Curies to detect the presence of
radium or other substances having
radioactive properties is by means of
an electroscope. The apparatus is
shown above. This method is based
on the fact that radium emanations
make the air in proximity to it con-
ductor of electricity. The radio
active substance to be determined is
placed on the metal plate B; the
second plate A being placed above the
plate B, which is charged electrically
by the battery P, which is connected
to earth at T; the plate A is also con-
nected to the earth through the switch

which surrounds it-that is, there is
no perceptible variation when the air
that surrounds it is 80 degrees or that
of 312 degrees, when it becomes
liquid air.
If radium is immersed in liquid
hydrogen, which is the greatest cold
yet produced, it begins to emit more
neat instead of being cooled, as one
would naturally expect. These expert
ments, however, have failed to indi-
cate in the slightest degree how ra-
dunn can maintain it's constant heat
giving powers it has been suggested
that radioactive matter obtained it's
power of absorbing heat and then
giving it out just as pebble en-
bedded in a piece of ice and heated
by the suns rays would cause the
ice closest to it to melt.
Prof. ]. j. Thomson has calculated
tnat the electric charge in the radium
atoms would by their disruption sup
ply the amount of energy it radiates
for 10000 years before it's internal en-
ergy was completely used up. And all
this energy in the form Of heat is pro-
duced without anything burning, with
out any change in its chemical COM
position and without its molecular or

The phenomena of electric dis
charges in vacuum tubes give the
nearest approach to seeing electricity
that are likely to be made. The
streams of corpuscles propelled along
the tub bes suggested to Crookes in 1879
the idea of a fourth state of matter,
and these corpuscles-smaller than
atoms and the same in all kinds of
gases were named electrons by Ston-
ey, an have come to be regarded as
the ED 4ctric parts of all atoms, or even

The Peerless Watermelon.

The northern-bred man puts salt on
his watermelon, thereby exciting the
risibles of the southerner. He puts
sugar on his cantaloupe, causing more
laughter. He eats butter on his rad
ishes, which is enough to make calf
weep. He eats "grits" with sugar and
cream, which would knock country
man silly. The watermelon is the
most beautiful fruit in natures garden.
