THE ORIGIN OF RADIUM.
1t Is Believed to BE Derived From Some
Parent Element.

1t is Believed to BE Derived From Some
Parent Element.
Professor +. Soddy has made recent.
ly some interesting contributions to
our knowledge Of radium, about whose
probable origin there has been so much
speculation. Radium is now believed
to be derived from some parent ele-
ment which is decOmposing at a very
slow rate, and Professor Soddy not
only supports this view, but states
that from the disintegratiOn of radium
must follow other and better-known
elements. On the assumption that
there is such a parent element and the
quantity of radium is minute, this par
ent element must exist in large
amounts, and it must have large
atomic weight in order to give radium
on its disintegratiOn process that is
known to be very slow.
The only two elements answering
these requirements are uranium and
thorium, and as the former is practi-
cally always found in company with
radium it must be the substance
sought. Professor Soddy has been able
to demonstrate this fact experiment.
ally by obtaining from uranium, which
originally was free from radium, an
unmlstakable emanating power. The
original uranium, it was proved, did
not possess the power of emitting an
emanaton, and as the emanation thus
obtained seemed to be in all respects
identical with that of radiup, it
seemed a proper inference that the
uranium in the course of its decompo-
sition was producing radium.
Professor Soddy believes that ra-
dium, actinium and polonium are in
termediate products in the disintegra-
ton of radium, and that the ultimate
product must be an element of lighter
atomic weight and should be known
substance. The logical candidates for
such a position are bismuth and lead,
and inasmuch as the latter occurs in
the rranium-radium minerals the pro-
pOnderance of opinion is in its favor.
This seems in Il fair way soon to be
settled, as pOlOnium not only is easily
obtained, but also changes very rapid
ly, and the question of deciding def
nitely on this final product is apparent
ly only one of cost and experiment.

"Man is Natures Enemy"

"Man," says Professor Lancaster in
his RomaneS lecture at Oxford, lis
natures rebel" Natural selection hav-
ing, as supposed, lifted him from so
low-the monad-to his present high
estate. is now believed by many Of
its advocates to be failure as regards
raising him any higher. Having done
so much in the past, it is thought to
be incapable OF doing "the little
more" which is of such great import
ance. While in the case Of other crea-
lures their actions are supposed to play
into the hands of natural selection,
so that this benefcient force becomes
the alma mater of new races, in the
case of man it has been otherwise.
His own actions have defeated the
aims of natural selection for his well
fare. Darwin held similarly pessf-
mistic views. "In one of my latest
conversations with Darwin" writes
DR.. A. Il. Wallace, 'he expressed
himself very gloomily on tie future
of humanity" And this was on the
grounds that under present conditions
the fittest did not survive. Many evo-
iutionists, therefore, as Mr.. Francis
Galton and DR.. A. r. Wallace. have
suggested ways in which natural Sc.
lection may be assisted rather than
thwarted in producing more perfect
race. The remedy proposed by Prof.
Lancaster is that men should acquire
greater control over nature by means
Of deep study of science. And in the
reformed education advocated by
Pro-. Lancaster Latin and Greek are
to be eliminated as njurous.-Londou

cANADA's NORTHWEST POLICE.
No Other Such System of Public Guard.
iansliip in the World.


Readiness for duty in any form has
made the Royal Northwest mounted
police what they are, the trusted guar
dams of life and property in Western
Canada. Their field is from the Uni
ted States boundary to the Arctic
coast, and in this vast territory, 1000
miles from south to north, 500 scarlet
coated men keep peace and order.
Through any part of it, prairie, viii.
ierness or woods, n defenseless wom-
an may go alone and have no fear. To
make thus easy the travellers way
meant years OF vigilant policing and
even of fighting. Those were stirring
times, when mounted police service
had zest and glory. To-day there is
less glory and more hard work; for as
the country is settling farther north
the police, too, are moving up and wild
ening their beats. Smugglers on the
border, thieves on the ranches, crimin-
ais in the settlements, fires in the for
ests. to guard against these and to rep
resent the law in a land that would
easily be lawless are their duties to-
day, and to these have now been added
the carriage of the mails in the ex-
treme north and the protection of the
whale fisheries on the Arctic coast.
The Royal Northwest mounted police
are unique. There is no other such
system of public guardianship in the
world, nor are there now in any other
country quite the same conditions
which called it into being. - Aubrey

ers offer a means of performing a va
