NATURAL ROMAN CANDLE.
Such Seems to Be the New Metal Ra-
dunn Because of Its Won
derful Properties.

The new metal, radium, which has
been so much talked and written about
during the last few months, turns out
to be sort of natural Roman candle.
since, in addition to giving light. it also
shoots on bodies Of two different sizes.
The light itself from this mysterious
substance is not like ordinary light.
writes Edwin Tenney Brewster, in St.
Nicholas. Even small fragment sealed
up in glass tube shines with weird
glow like FREELY. but bright enough to
read by. Moreover, If these rays fall on
certain other substances. as, for exam
pie, diamonds, it causes them also to
glow with similar unearthly radiance:
and, like * rays" which enable one
to see his own bones, they will 60
through plank or a dictionary. We
never use metallic radium, because it
has never been entirely separated
from other materials. We haven't 1t
touse. We are. therefore, compelled to be
content with some salt Ca mixture) of the
metal. One experimenter consequently
placed the least pinch of radium bro
mide in q glass tube, and screwed it
tightly inside rubber thermometer
case. This he put in an iron box, with
q silver soup-tureen and four sheets of
copper above it, vet in some way the rays
got out After all, don't know that
1t is any more difficult to answer why
this light goes through iron than why
the light Of candle goes through
glass. Is
But piece OF radium, in addition to
giving on these peculiar rays. sends out
such shower Of little particles that 1t
is like sort Of exploding battery Of tiny
rapid-fire guns. These, as said at the
beginning, are of two sizes. The small
est are the smallest particles known to
science. Indeed. as they travel some
200 times faster than bullet from
rifle, they must needs be pretty
small not to wipe out everything within
range. The others are much larger. per-
haps by q thousand times, and they do
not travel so fast. But even these are
80 small that, after millions upon mil
lions of them have been shot on, the most
careful weighing with q balance for
which . hair is heavy weight, cannot
detect any loss Now, these smaller
bodies are the mysterious "electrons"
which, as they stream against the walls
Of . Crookes tube, produce the X rays.
So they seem quite like old friends The
larger ones come still nearer home They
are like the minute particles Of vapor
which are always being sent Oh by any
substance, such as water, or alcohol, or
camphor. or ice. which is drying up or
wasting away. But the remarkable
thing about radium is that, while the gas
which goes OF into the air from these
familiar substances is still water or al
cohol, or what not, the gas from radium
Is not radiurn at all. but helium.
