Scientific PRINCIPLES.


" Some ten years ago a young Russian
woman, NIademoisellc Marie sklodowska,
took Ii 3 her residence in Paris for tho
purpose Of studying science. From her
father, a professor In Warsaw, she had
Inherited apassion for practical chem
sistry and mechanics. In Paris she met
and ltimntel married a man$of similar
ienthusiasns to her. own, poor In pocket
but, rich IN intellect. The result OF this
union was the greatest scientific dis
icoveryl Of tho age, that OF radium. But
1t was not until many years Of Blabora-s
tory work in common that Mr.. and Mrs.
3Curie made the discovery which has I'M
.mortalized them. a
\ England also has its scientific couples,
who though they have not yet madesan
discoveries SO startling as that OF ra-
dun, have III still done valuable work.
There arc Sir VILLAIN II iggins and his
wife, for example. Sir William is presi-
dent of the Royal Society. Nearly fifty
years ago he built and equipped a pri-
4vate astronomical observatory on Tulse
Till, where he has lved and labored ever
snice. His most valued assistant Is Lady
Higgins, who has exhibited extraordi-s
nary interest in astronomy since her girl
hood. Then there are Professor and Mrs.
Percy Falkland, both OF whom have do
voted their lives 4 to the study Of bac-
terra, and have Scolla borate on valuable

THE ORIGIN OF THE
ROMAN Fl4ALENDAR

Numa Pornpilius, the second King Of
Rome who died 672 b. CT, Is credited
with promulgating what is now termed
the Roman kalendar, which divided the
year into twelve instead Of ten months
ana to E have decreed that the year
should begin on the first day Of jan
,iary or Jnnuarics, the name he gave
the month IN honor Of the god Janus,
the Roman deity, supposed to preside
over doors. and to have two faces. one
turned toward the past and the other.

The ancient jewish New Year, March
