The following, entitled "Our Lady Of
Radium." is by Israel zangwill I'm the
Reader Magazine for May;
Perhaps scarcely less pregnant for
humanity than the paradox of radium
is the paradox OF its discoveries you
see. even language has not yet adapted
itself 10 feminine deyelOpmvnts), If.
as ibseu says "thc new generation Is
knocking at the door" most peremp-
tory Of all Is the knocking Of the new
generation of women, Yet, Madame
Curie is by no means a new woman
She has none Of tn traits Of that
bogy creature which the eternal mas.
culine,' fearful for its secular dom
nance created from the mists of las
own Jealousy and terror Sklowdow-
ska CuTie Is not even a blue-stOCkng,
but a graceful creature with al the
romantic charm Of the Polish woman;
she loves poetry and her taste I'm lit
orature i8 as delicate as her clectrom-
otor. Nor has she dospised maternity
for she has u little girl who Is to
her more "rarc and radiant than ra-
dunn itself There Is no doubt that
the modern woman has come TO stay
and the sooner man accommodates
himself 10 the new sex the better.
The paradox Of radum, ifs exhaust

ity to give of light and heat without
loss Of weight or absorption Of fresh
fuel, has. IN the language Of Lord Kel-
win, placed the first question mark
against the principle Of the conserya-
ton and transmutatiOn Of energy

over again, / have even read philO-
scphical treatise proving that not
only was the conservation Of energy
the law Of nature but that II was re-
ally impossible and unthulabIC that
nature should have been otherwise.
The principle need not, however be
thrown ovrboard just yet; We hardly
see how one could get on without IT,
even though Il would be not unplcas-
ant to be ria OF that apprehension Of
the extinction Of the sun come billions
Of years hence which weighs ON US so
at dances and plcnlcs.
