the sum which he - mates as prob
ably necessary to cover the cost of
experiments to prove whether radium
really exists. His own idea Is that
there is no such metal, and that the
phenomena from which its existence
has been inferred are due to unknown
combinations analogous to those which
impart the property of phosphoresence
to certain sulphides. He calls atten-
tion to the fact that what we usually
call radium is simply the chloride Oh
bromide of an unknown substance. A
pure chloride, he says. is never phos.
phoresent, but becomes so when
mixed with traces of certain other sub
stances. He predicts that the result of
the research that he proposes would be
to derive from the so-called chloride of
radium nothing more than the wen
known metal barium, and holds that
the observed radio-activity results
simply from certain now unknown
chemical combinations.

Guest Who VIII BE Silent Is in De-
mand by Clever Hostess.
Be a good listener. If you can't
talk, listen. Don't chatter, says the
North American. Guests have been
'''bidden forth" to dine for their listen
Ing propensities alone. The cautious
hostess is a veritable Charles Lamb
in her appreciation of ears. They are
valuable appendages indeed, and should
be strenuously cultivated by those who
only jabber when they talk.
We can't all talk; to some Of us 1t
Is almost physical impossibility to
get out a sensible word in company.
We may be entertaining enough to our
selves, but let something definite in the
way Of conversation be expected of us
In an assemblage and we throw up
our hands.
It's only form of stage fright, this.
We could perfectly well enter into the
argument that's going round the fes-
tive board If something would only
let us, but fear, the monster, holds us
In his grip.
Enforced silence draws one inward
and the tongue cleaves to the roof of
the mouth; the very lips are sealed
All the air about one seems panied
witness to ones discomfort. Every
thing has got alive and taken on crit
ical attitude, but is ominously silent
While it thinks of you-only you-and
not another living, breathing soul. But
iIf you keep on letting the quiet thicken
round you it's going to get very dense,
indeed.
Break the spell always, but, better
still, prevent 1t from settling over you.
Learn the interested listener part and
you won't be in the center Of the stage
enough to fluster you.

This discovery has been made by
Prof. William Niven of Cuernavaca and
Mexico City, who has given years to
the study of the fossilized remains of

an exchange. Mr.. Niven has recently
discovered the Indians at work In a
treasure house Of buried Mexican pot

miles west Of Mexico City, which they
have been marketing on the streets of
Mexico City for years.
AS 1t has been taken for granted
that these objects were modern imita-

with the humor and found it more
profitable and quicker to let the buyer

value Of the curio.
However, Mr.. Niven was surprised to

purchased by himself several that bore
