had always the tenderest love and care
from both father 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
nothing better.
So it was when in 1900 came on the
scientific word like thunderclap the
announcement that there is on this
earth substance which shines by it's
own light without any apparent dininu-
ton of bulk and produces upon living
organisms effects so weird and terrible
that too great familiarity with it even
in experimenting is dangerous.
After the discovery of radium the
CURES were placed beyond the pinching
of poverty by the award of several
prizes, bestowed for scientific achieve
ments, which amounted to over $4,000.
M. Curie was made professor of gem
era1 physics in the Sorbonne university
at Paris, with Nine. Curie as his as
sistant. No doubt it would have turned
the old Sorbonne upside down from its
foundations and shocked the masculine
population of France crazy if madame
instead of M. Curie had been appointed
professor of physics. So it goes in this
one legged world.
Highly entertaining is the story
Polish gentleman tells of Nine. Curie's
childhood in Warsaw. Her father, NJ.
Sldodowska, teacher of sciences. had
just two objects to live for-his work
and his little daughter. The gentleman
was a friend of NJ. 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
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
doll in his arms. while she turned to the
chemicals with the zest with which or
binary children make mud pies.
Nine. Curie is blond, with beautiful
yellow hair. large, nobly developed head
in many Poles. She is as simple, sincere
and modest in her ways as all great
souls have been since the world began.

to do?" MARILLA WEAVER.

that at the time of the discovery of ra-
dunn newspapers throughout civiliza-
ton spoke of Professor Pierre Curie as
it's original finder, some of them men
tioning his wife as his assistant"
Here is the actual truth concerning
the discovery of radiun: Professor and
Nine. Curie worked in the same labo-
ratory, usually along separate lines of
investigation. Nine. Curie was intense
Iy interested in radio activity, as shown
in the SO called Becquerel rays, thrown
off from uranium. The mineral chal-
collie showed radio activity in a more
powerful degree than uranium. Note
now what this original investigator did.
She knew the constituents of chaleo
lite, and she put these together and
made an artificial chaIcolite. 1t did not
emit the radiant rays. The rays, then
came from some substance mingled
with the mineral. NIme- Curie expert
mented till she separated that sub
stance-radium.
The husbands part in it consisted in

wife's experiments that he aided her,

1t is pitiful to think how poor the
Curies were when they sacrificed their
last penny to science. They lived in a
one story cottage in suburb of Paris.
Poverty has haunted the gifted pair all
their lives until within a year past.
She, Mile Sklodowska, a young Polish
girl, went from her native Warsaw to
study mathematics and the natural sci

The woman who has learned to choke
down her troubles and keep them for
her own delectation has won half the
battle of life. and her popularity is such
that she is in great demand.

There is only one variety of hostess

her. But, my friends, she is the SYM
