and chemically examined a great num-
Der of specimens of ore from different
mines and mountains, but thu far

quantity. l have, however, reached
some decided conclusions on the sub
tect.
"Radium is similar to X-rays in its
power to pass through substances, and
its effects are apparently as injurious
to Investigators. This is especially true
of the X-rays.
"Radium is a mighty dangerous sub
stance to experiment with. as I found
out to my cost. I am v now suffer-
ing from the effects of it 1t damaged
one of my eyes seriously and has also
caused me great trouble with my stom-
ash. My wife became so exercised over
my condition as a result of studying it
that I promised to quit for a while at
least"
