fridge and, as Martinez is an expert
enced shot, he rarely missed birds
whose line of flight was that of the
aeroplane. He also killed two hares,
the apparatus wheeling down just

the sport was finding the game after

Professor Bouchard's experiments
with radium have brought to him the
conviction that when projected on
nervous centers radium produces pa
ralysis and rapid death. This has
not been tried on human beings, but
upon mice enclosed in healthy oxy-
genated receptacles. Mice under the
radium ray died in from six to eight
hours, while so-called control speci-
mems kept under identical conditions.
except that the radium emanations
were absent, remained well.
Microscopic examination of the an
imal 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 ra-
do activity that three days after
death they made an impression on a
Photographic plate through several
sheets of black paper.
Madame Curie says that IF the ma
ture of the radiations from radium
are little known the cause of spon-
taneous radio activity remains as
mysterious, and is always a subject of
profound establishment"
This radio-activity being communi-
Gated to almost everything adjacent
to the subject except lead. The ra-
dunn institute that the French gov
eminent or, more properly, the Uni
versity of Paris, is building for Mad
anne Curie is being lined completely
with lead.
Doctor Henri.Martin, grandson of
the great historian. made an announ-
cement at the weekly meeting Of the
Academy of Sciences of exceptional
to the study of pre-histor-
ic man. At the foot of hill in the
of Charenta the doctor
dug up the skull of man of the
Quarternay Epoch, showing marked
from the four or five SIM
liar specimens already extant, nota-
by a very pronounced protuberance
at the base of the forehead. The
teeth, which are very strong, are
worn right down to the crown, and
lead to the belief that their owner
was herbivorous. Beside the skull
were found a 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
complete skeleton.
