its foundations and shocked the mas culine population of France crazy fl madame instead of M. Curie had heers appointed professor of physics. So it goes in this one legged world.
 Highly entertaining is the story a Polish gentleman tells of Mime. Curies childhood in Warsaw. Her father, M. Sklodowska, teacher of sciences, had just two objects to live for-his work and his little daughter. The gentle man was friend of M Sklodowska and spent many an hour in his laboratory. There. too, the child who was to dis cover radium spent most of her time. She never cared for toys, like other children. Retorts and test tubes were her toys. Almost from babyhood she manipulated them with the skill of a trained chemist. Once or twice, Indeed, the gentleman was surprised to see her when a very small child enter the lab oratory carrying a dilapidated old doll, but no sooner did she catch sight of her fathers friend than she deposited the doll in his arms. while she turned to the chemicals with the zest with which ordinary children make mud pies.
 Mime. Curie Is a blond. with beauti- full yellow hair, large, nobly developed head and the slightly "tiptilted" nose seen in many Poles. She Is as simple, sincere and modest in her ways as all great souls have been since the world began. The friend who knew her in her childhood lately said to her:
 Why do you work so hard? Surely you can take a little rest now"
 With the rarely sweet smile that is ali her own. the famous woman answer ed:
 How can I think of resting when there Is so much to learn and so much to do?" MARILLA WEAVER.

lessor in the Mechanics institute of Paris. The remuneration was very It, tie. however. Professor Curie had be- come so accustomed to his. laboratory assistant by this time. also so attached to her. that he could not look forward to a future without her. He proposed marriage to her and was accepted. "--
 So the two gifted ones put their re- spective poverties together and were married. Mime. Curie accepted a place as teacher of physics in a girls high school at Sevres. wages $500 a year. less than a good saleswoman in an Ameri- can city dry goods store receives. To save car fare both Professor and Mme. Curie rode to and from their schools up- on bicycles. Their little house was bare of all ornamentation. of nearly all that appeals to the aesthetic sense, Their only luxury. if one might call 1t so. was their baby daughter, Irene, beautiful child, who has had always the tenderest love and care from both fath- CT and mother.
 The time they could spare from school. all the money they could save from household expenses, went into original chemical research. which they prosecuted in a tumbledown little lab oratory, because they could afford noth- ing better.
 So it was when in 1900 came on the scientific world like a thunderclap the announcement that there Is on this earth a substance which shines by its own light without any apparent dim mutton of bulk and produces upon liv- ing organisms effects so weird and ter rible that too great familiarity with 1t even in experimenting is dangerous. After the discovery of radium the Curies were placed beyond the pinching of poverty by the award of several prizes, bestowed for scientific achieve ments. which amounted to over $30.OO0. M. Curie was made professor of gem eral physics In the Sorbonne universi- ty at Paris, with Mime. Curie as his as- sistant No doubt 1t would have turn cd the old Sorbonne upside down from

vestigators knows till she finds out at first hand. When she does establish further facts for certain she herself will tell us the scientific truth about ra- alum.
 It must be gratifying to every fair minded person that credit for the great est scientific discovery of the twentieth century has been given where 1t be- longs-to a woman. A few years ago this would not have been done. Many a woman has done things scarcely less remarkable than Mime. Curie's achieve ment, and man. who writes the ency- clopedias and makes reports on the scientific societies, claimed the credit for himself. Even the honor of dis covering radium would have been wrested from Mime. Curie only for the sense of justice of her own husband. The French government offered him the cross of the Legion of Honor. He declined because. he said. his wife was properly entitled to it. The injustice unconsciously shown by all the world toward women is evinced in the fact that at the time of the discovery of ra- dium newspapers throughout civiliza- ton spoke of Professor Pierre Curie as its original finder, some of them mem tioning his wife as his assistant"
 Here is the actual truth concerning the discovery of radium: Professor and Mime. Curie worked In the same labora- tory. usually along separate lines of ln- vestigation Mime. Curie was intensely interested in radio activity, as shown in the so called Becquerel rays. thrown off from unranium. The mineral chal- colite showed radio activity in more powerful degree than unranium. Note now what thIs original investigator did She knew the constituents of chalco- lite. and ehe put these together and made an artificial chalcolite. It did not emit the radiant rays. The rays, then, came from some substance mingled with the mineral. Mme Curie experi- mented till she separated that sub- stance-radium.
 The husbands part in 1t consisted in at length becoming so interested in his wife's experiments that he aided her, and both together spent all the money they had laid up (&1,000) in buy ing pitchblende, which contained the radium. It had to be imported by the ton from Bohemia. A whole ton of pitchblende contains only three grains of radium.

ten of radium recently. Secondary ex- perimenters have told all they know about 1t, but it's discoverer. Mime. Curie, is silent She, too, told all she knew about 1t at the time of Its discovery. After that she betook herself with more zeal than ever to her researches in the laboratory. She said not long since that we know scarcely anything as yet of the possibilities of this mysterious substance. She expects wonderful re-
 suits from 1t. but what these are she no more than any of the secondary in

Fools in Bucket shops.

Hartford fConn.) Courant.
 The bucket shop will undoubtedly have its patrons as long as sheep have wool. Revelation after revelation counts for nothing in face of that an- cient adage. which time never contra diets. that fool Is born every hour. Dealing in stocks on a margin is fol- 1y and giving your margin to a concern of which you know even less than you do of the market Is making yourself and your folly ridiculous after 1t comes to light. People who lose in bucket shop speculation usually keep mum about 1t. When anybody makes a dol Tar there the fact is very sure to come out: it helps business. It Is the lot 4ery ticket and the policy shop spirit in another form. Making something out of nothing is against the law of ,fhe universe, and those who give them selves to the delusion that they can do 1t almost invariably pay for their ex- perience a ruinous price.

The teamsters strike in Chicago truly illustrates the
truth of the foregoing quotation. 1t is stated fact
that than half of these teamsters-the estimate
being high 80 per cenwere opposed to the strike
in the first place and have been opposed to it since
But the leaders of the organization preciptated the
trouble and the reluctant workers obliged TO follow
them. ..
In the process of evolution all trade unions embody
