LONDON, December %, 1910
The gift of a gramme of radium made
by Sir Ernest Cassel to the new Radium
Institute, which he founded at the sug-
gestion of the late king. will inaugurate
a series of experiments of great signif-
canoe. To this institute. now practically
ready for work. and to the researches in
progress at the cancer research depart
ment of the Middlesex Hospital and at
kindred institutions. the scientific world
is eagerly looking for further knowledge
of this mysterious element For in the
elucdation of the powers OF radium lies
the answer 10 the vital question: What
can radium cure?
Discovey Made Twelve Years Ago.
Twelve years of eager experiment have
passed since Prof. and Nine. Curie an
nounced the discovery of radium. Almost
at once reports of the curative powers of
the new mineral were published. Has
radium, after twelve years of tests, 5usti-
fed that early reputation?
The diseased states in which radium
has been tried range from the most ma
lignant internal cancers to badness.
Such widely diverse ailments as facial
paralysis. neuralgia. rheumatism, hydro
phoiba. indigestion and skin diseases have
been reported as cured by the wonderful
new mineral.
\ few years ago reports of a cure of
hydrophObia in rabbits presented to the
Scientific Academy of Bologna by well
known Italian professor evoked such en-
thusiasm that II was freely conjectured
that the Pasteur treatment of hydro
phobia would soon be pushed into the
background by the new radium treat
ment.

Alleged Effect of Rays.

Seven years ago two distinguished pro-
fessOrs at Konissberg University published
some startling results of the deadly effect
the radium rays exert on disease bacteria
of all kinds Having first sprinkled live
typhoid bacilli on gelatin plate they
exposed the plate in a dark room to weak
radium emanatiOnS for fOrty-eight hours.
At the end of this time it was found that
the bacilli were either killed or their
growth was completely stopped. Similar
good results were obtained with the
germs of cholera and anthrax. These
experiments. emphasizing the pronounced
germicidal effect of radium, were looked
upon as opening up a new field Of treat
ment for infectious diseases of the skin.
In 1903 a distinguished ST. Petersburg
savant announced in various medical
journals his discovery that certain of the
blind were able to distinguish objects IL
lumined by radium rays. The professor
expressed the strong hope that by further
experimentation with the wonderful ele-
ment he would be able to restore the sight
to sufferers from certain varieties of
blindness.
No Help to the Blind.
The hope which was held out by the
Russian experimenter was withdraw n
with cruel suddenness when a German
eye specialist who Investigated the
cures reported that blind persons can
not at present expect the very slightest
help from radium.
The thousands of sufferers from true
cancer, both in Europe and America,
who have let the time when an opera
ton might have been successful drift BY,
while undergoing "radium cures" COM
pose one of the saddest chapters in the
history of this wonderful element. Rad
tum as at present used, cannot cure
cancer, but properly condemned expert
ments may again bring hope to suffering
humanity.

Quick Work Effective.

In that time the volunteers dressed,
fired up their big auto engine. hit UP
speed for two miles to the scene, made
hydrant connections and drowned out the
blaze.
While they were facilitating each other
over this record achievement, which saw
ed the bungalow. some of them pushed
their way into the house with hose to
put an end to any lingering remnants Of
fire. They then stumbled On the bodies
OF McAleese and the woman
Cause of the fire was traced to an over
heated stove. The man and woman were
probably stupefied by coal gas before
the heat awoke them. 1t Is supposed that
McAleese might have saved himself
through door. but he hoped to rescue
the woman by OPENING a window near the
bed.

CLOAK SPLENDOR
SHOWN IN PARIS
Medieval Effects Dominate
The Lovely Wraps

Paris. Oct. 27.-Thc weather has
turned rather cold, and the PaTisienn-
les and strangers visiting the gay cap
ital are reviewing the different kinds
of cloaks for day and evening wear
now on view at the dressmaking es-
Enlistment. For walking purposes
most of the firms recommend ratine
in prune-coIor, navy and serge green
the fashionable shades.
Most of these models are made with
a kind of cape, or ichu, falling
straight in front. Or crossed, accord
ing to the figure. A popular style of
cape scarcely teaches the elbow. 1t
is draped in front and ends q, a point
below the HRS at tie back. Strap
pings of ratine and a deep wooden
fringe form the trimming
In Liberty satin, yelled with self
colored silk muslin, embossed velvet
lined, and trimmed with sable fox or
ermine, are the cloaks selected for
the evening. These cloaks all hang
straight from the shoulders, and
their sleeves are distinctly medieval.
A very becoming garment is in
black Liberty satin, yelled with black
mousseline de sole Bands of tailless
ermine border the wide sleeves, whilst
an equally pretty feature is he lining
of white chiffon-velvet-a charming
novelty of the moment.
