An Inoenlus Boy.


The Saint Nicholas Magazine gives
an account of a boy who may prove
a great inventor: Walter ]. Willenborg
is boy who has decided to conquer the
problems Of wireless telegraphy. He
has his own laboratory adjoining his
bedroom. He has constructed wire
less receiving station at the TOP of the
houee.
Curious to see what could be done
on very small scale he invented and
made a portable wireless telegraph
station that he could carry about in
his pocket. From the top button OF
his coat he hung slender wire that
reached to the ground and so arranged
that when he walked along country
road the wire would trail behind him.
In his pocket he carried little bat
terry. On bit of board as big as your
hand he placed complete wireless
transmitting apparatus, induction coil,
baby sounder and all, supporting this
fairy telegraph station by fastening It
10 a belt around his waist.
From this travelling station he sent
messages from country road to his
follys at home eight miles away in
town, telling them where he was and
whefe he was going and that he would
reach home in time for supper.

The Story Of an oak Tree.

At first ii was an acorn hanging on
an oak tree. In autumn the wind blew
1t down to the earth. 1t lay there till
spring, when up shot little stem with
three leaves on 1t.
Sun and rain nourished 1t and it
grew bigger and bigger, and 1t got
branches. In many years 1t grew to
be an oak tree.
In hot summers the children made
swings on 1t, or they played partS,
read books or sewed under its great
swaying branches,
When 1t grew old, the place where
1t stood was sold to another man. This
man cut down the tree and chopped 1t
up for kindling wood. AS 1t was a
big tree, the man got whole lot Of
wood from it, which lasted him all
year, On Christmas the last of the
oak tree was put into the furnace. The
furnace door was open a little and
through It the oak saw lovely light.
II was a Christmas tree, with lovely
ornaments and toys on it. Around the
tree danced a group Of merry children,
singing hymns.
Then the mother came and took the
toys from the tree and handed them
around.
The children played while, and
then went to bed This was the last
the oak wood saw, as it was nearly
burned up.-C!ara kroker in the Brook

Quantity of Radium in the World.

II
Madame Curie possesses fifteen
milligrammes, of radium, Prof. Bor-
das ten, NJ Becquerel ten, Sir Will
lam Ramsay twenty, Sir William
Crookes twenty, Prof. d'Arsonval
twenty, and Thomas A. Edison twen-
ty milligrammes. About twenty mill
ligrammes more are in the posses
sion of other professors. All this is
in the form of pure or nearly pure
radium and it's salts, and the entire
amount is 1875 milligrammes, or
about two grains troy.
Commercial low grade radium is
distributed among a great many
hands and its strength is very vari-
able. Hence exact statistics are not
obtainable, but it is estimated that
the entire amount of commercial RAJ
dunn contains less pure radium than
the quantity in the possession of sci
entists, as stated above.
To these samples must be added
the comparatively enormous quantity
of three grammes of radium which
Profs. Exner and Wien have lately
extracted from half ton of Joach-
imsthal pitchblende, the value Of
which is estimated at $4,000. One
gramme of this is to be lent to Sir
William Ramsey for experiments on
