Latest Nobel Prizes.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 8.-The Nobel
prize awards for the present year are
calculated to give little ground for
self-complacency to Americans.
Though the formal announcement Of
the awards will not be made until day
after tomorrow, which will be the an
niyersary Of the founders death, the
prospective recipients already are
known, with the exception of the per-
son or persons who will receive the
prize for performing the most use-
full service of the year for promoting
peace.
The prize for chemistry goes to
Nine. Curie, chief professor Of
sciences in the University of Paris,
who with her husband, discovered ra-
dunn. The prize for physics, which
it was believed some time ago would
be awarded to Thomas A. Edison, the
American inventor, will go instead to
Professor Wilhelm Wien of Wuerz-
burg Academy. Maurice Maeterlinck,
VIZ 'N' hhpWh i'tiEldu dulnOT ana
playwright, will receive the literary
prize, while the prize in medicine will
be awarded to Professor Allvar Gull
strand, Of the faculty of medicine Of
Upsala University, for research work
in connection with his study of the
eye.
In the II years of the Nobel foun-
dation the prizes have been awarded
to 60 individuals and to two peace
societies. Only two Of the so have
been Americans. A prize in physics
was awarded to A. A. Nicholson of
the University of Chicago, a German
by birth, and one Of the peace prizes
went to President Roosevelt for his
services in promoting peace between
Russia and Japan. So far no other
American has been recognized As
worthy of the distinguished honor.
