ended in the election OF one of the in
ventors of wireless telegraphy, Mr..
Brandy, the admirers Of Nine. Curtis.
the discoverer OF radium. are now con-
sidering the advisability OF making a
second attempt to secure her election
to the Academic des Sciences.
The former campaign in her favor
was fought quite apart from the dis
cussion of the merits or dement's OF
womans suffrage, and several acad-
emicians, known to be decided "anti-
feminist" voted in her favor. Only the
singular merits of her opponent and
the fornidable campaign carried on In
his name succeeded in closing the
doors OF the institution against her.
The death of NJ. Troost, the chem
ist. gives vacancy which many hope
Mime. Curie may fill. Her supporters.
however. mean to make sure OF their
ground. and it is understood that her
candidature will not be officially an
nounced until they are tolerably GER
tain of her being elected.
