them Sir William shone Respondent as

oietes learned to call him. On all oc-
casions he exhibited an enthusiasm and
interest which Immediately gained him
the friendship OF his fellows.

Importance Of Rad1um.
Speaking of the Importance Of radium
he said: "Au previous calculations of
science are likely to be upset by ra-
dunn. We may soon be compelled TO re
wise some of the theories Of physics that
are now regarded as cardinal Nobody
can tell. The future, open 70 the dill

mysteries. One thing IS eertain-nobody
-
Some statements made about the guam
tity OF that precious substance in exist
enCe are very absurd. Dealing with the
possibilities OF radium IS mueh like
spacuIatlng upon the future OF a babe in
arms We must watch il develop into
childhood and mature growth before we
can talk much about its future.
ct is a far cry at present 20 discuss
the use of radium or radium salts, for
Illuminating or heating purposes do
not suppose there IS one-tenth Of an
ounce of radium in the whole world. If
YOU can imagine getting that amount
of radium together il would supply more
energy than go tons OF dynamite. Few
persons who talk about radium and its
compouents realize the great scarcity of
the raw material for yielding radium
nor the exceedingly minute particles
used in the experiments that have as
founded the world II is impossible 10
say where the future supply OF raw
material is TO come from. I believe that
in America carnotite looks promising as
a basis for IT, Cleavite, a mineral
found in Norwasy, Is also looked upon as
q favorable source Of supply.
A Chemical Marvel.
.One extraordinary quality Of radium
salts Is that the evolution OF heat and
energy goes on continuously without
combustion. without chemical change OF
any kind and without alteration OF its
molecular structure. At the expiration
of a month of activity the salt is quite
as potent as it was in the beginning OF
the experiment. There is no doubt about
the conversion of radium into helum-
lii has been done many times In our
experiments for several days a lumi-
nous gas was continuously emitted, bat
