neux and Martinez, went shooting on
board an aeroplane in the neighbor-
hood of Compiegne. Legagneux piloted
the biplane in dextrous circles and
ovals above the coverts while Martinez
did the shooting
The machine cannot remain in the
air and fly at a less speed than a part
ridge and, as Martinez is an expert
enced shot, he rarely missed birds
whose line of fight was that of the
aeroplane. He also killed two hares,
the apparatus wheeling down just
above them The difficult part of the
sport was finding the game after land
ing.

Radiuln Kills Mice.
Professor Bouchard's experiments
with radium have brought him to the
conviction that when projected on
nervous centres radium produces pa
ralysis and rapid death. This has not
been tried on human beings, but upon
mice enclosed in healthy oxygenated
receptacles Mice under the Fadium
ray died in from six to eight hours
while so-called control specimens kept
under identical conditions, except that
the radium emanations were absent,
remained well.
Microscopic examination of the ami
NAL tissues after death showed no
change except a diminution of white
globules in the blood and congestion of
the blood in the lungs The bodies had
acquired such extraordinary radio ac-
tivity that three days after death they
made an impression on a Photographic
plate through several sheets of black
paper.
Subject for Surprise.
Madame Curie says that eff the ma
ture of the radiations from radium are
little known the cause of spontaneous
radio activity remains as mysterious,
and is always for US a subject of pro-
found establishment"
This radio-activity being commune
Gated to almost everything adjacent to
the substance except lead, the radium
institute that the French government
or, more properly, the University of
Paris. is building for Madame Curie is
being lined completely with lead.
Doctor Henri-Martfn, grandson of
the great historian, made an announce
ment at the weekly meeting of the
Academy of Sciences of exceptional
to the study of e-historic
man. At the foot of hill in the de-
partment of the Charente the doctor
dug up the skull of man of the Quar-
Epoch, showing marked diver
gences from the four or five similar
specimens already extant, notably a |
very pronounced protuberance at the |
base of the forehead.
Seek Complete Skeleton.
The teeth. which are very strong, |
are worn right down to the crown and |
lad the belief n cir a-t
herbivorous. Beside the skull We're
found few broken instruments and |
some other bones, all of the same |
period. and the digging is being con- |
tinued with the greatest care in the |
hope of being able to unearth the COM |
plete skeleton
A case of hydrophobia from the bite OF
a fox has just had its sequel at TIE |
Captain Bower. the master of a pack of |
foxhounds in the south of England, while |
by the pack, was bitten by the animal IN /
its struggles. The wound healed rapidly,
but after three months had elapsed he I
was seized with violent commissions ana /
died in twenty hours with all the symp- /
toms of hydrophobia, and medical science I
was unable to account otherwise for his (
death.
Kisses Dying Brother.
Miss Sylvia Bower, his sister, who
kissed him as he was dying, and the doc
tor who attended him, were Immediately
sent over to the Paris Pasteur Institute
where. although cases Of hydrophobia so
long after the bite had healed, while al
most unheard of, are not considered i'm
possible, and it was decided to keep Miss
Bower and the doctor under observation
For fifteen days That period has elapsed.
and the two patients have been dis
charged with a clean bill of health
The Portuguese government is prepar-
ng an act designed to humble the mon
archists and deprive them of the means
or financing another rising. All alb
,entee monarehist landowners or other
Portuguese residing abroad for political
easons must return to the country with
n a term to be named in the law or their
property will be forfeited to the state.
The property of those conspiring will be
;onfiscated Immediately.
Aimed at Manuel.
This decision to seize the property or
hose taking an active part in treason
against the present administration will
include the deposed King Manuel, who,
according to evidence in the hands of the
government, sent his uncle, the Duke of
)portos to represent him in the recent
Uprising Political prisoners of the lower
lasses probably will be exiled to Portu-
suese African colonies They Will it is
considered likely, be advanced certain
