DISCOVERER OF
RADIUh KILLED
Vas Run Over in the Place
DaupSine.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAN.
Story of the Investigations Of the French Saw
ant and His Talsuted Wife, That Result 10
One OF the Most Interesting Discoveries OF
the Day-Immense Cost Of the First Two
Decigrams They Succeed 10 Securing.

Paris, (By Cable)-Professor Curie,
the discoverer of radium, was run over
and killed by a wagon on the Place
Dauphine
Though generally credited as the dis
coverer of radium, Professor Pierre
Curie always associated his wife as be-
ing equally entitled with him to the
credit of the discovery
The mineral, which became the great
talk of the day, was discovered by NJ.
and Nine Curie, who, after long and
complicated chemical researches, sue
ceeded in extracting from ton of the
pitch-blende mineral of Joachinistal, in
Bohemia, two decigarms of radiunl. The
operation costing $4,000.
Pierre Curie was born in Paris IN
1859 His father was Paris physician.
After his preparatory studies he began
scientific researches on his own account
when 20 years old. In his researches he
was assisted by Marie Slodow Slodow-
ska, a Pole, born in Warsaw in 1868.
She afterward became Nine Curie and
shared with him the prizes that were
awarded to him as the discoverer of
radium.
The great importance of radium was
appreciated as early as 1901, when the
French Academy of Science awarded the
La GAIA prize of 10000 francs to M.
Pierre Curie, while associating with him
the name of his wife. Indeed Nine.
Curie seems to have been scientist
almost equal to her husband. In Decen-
Der, 1903, the two received the Nobel
prize for chemistry, and a few weeks
later they received 10000 francs. part
of the Osiris prize of France-all in
recognition of their great services in the
discovery and application of radiun1.
Radiurn was discovered in 1908 Nine
Curie, while experimenting with the salts
of uranium, hit upon this new metal, the
possibilities of which still seem unlimited.
One minute crystal of radium will give
off an intense blush light for what seems
an unlimited period of time, with no
appreciable diminution of power. This
light is without heat, and can impart
to other substances its own light-giv
ing power. On human flesh the effect
of radium is like that of the Roentgen
rays, but six times as powerful and as
dangerous. Curie himself predicted in
1908 that with one-tenth of gramme
of radium physician could receive I'M
limited number of patients, and effect
cure after cure in cases of lupus and
above all, of cancerous affections"
The great trouble now is the enor-
nous expense of production, the cost
of one ounce being 10000. About a
year ago the Curies suffered from the
effects of too much radium. Their
laboratory became so thoroughly impreg-
mated with the wonderful element that
there seemed to be no escape from it,
and they had to build new laboratory.
