RIDDLE OF RADlUM.

Among scientists, says Popular
Mechanics, it is very generally con-
coded that the discovery of radium
gave to the world one of its most in
teresting and unique riddles. After
all the "cranks," as well as geniuses,
had failed to produce a perpetual
motion machine; after all the al
chemists and their scientific success
sors, the chemists, had failed to
change any single chemical element
into another, and the world had set
tied down to the belief in the impos-
sibility of achieving either of these
aims; the discovery of the phenom-
ena Of radioactivity seemed to show
the lallacy of the conclusions in both
cases.

SOLDIERS ENJOYED A FEAST
cIeverness Really Deserved LenIenoy
With Which the Grand Duke
Treated the Affair.

An amusing story of an incident
at masked bali given at the cap
ital Of one Of the smaller German
principaIities is being told in Ber-
lin. The rule was printed upon the
invitation cards that everyone must
come either in fancy dress or in a
black domino. In one Of the rooms
Of The court a buffet had been set
out, and the attendants there soon
come to remark the unusually active
appetite Of one guest, duly masked
and cloaked, who consumed extraor-
dinarily large quantities Of the more
expensive delicacies and wines. After
several minutes Of vigorous eating
he would leave the buffet and dis
appear among the throng of dane
ers. Soon, however, he would be
back again, his appetite apparently
as strong as ever. After the fourth
visit at short intervals of this hum
cry guest the head waiter called the
attention of the master Of cere-
monies, who waited at the buffet un-
til the masked stranger once more
returned. He was again served with
a full supply Of food and wine, and
as he .turned away was politely
asked to show his invitation card.
AT this some confusion was noticed
in his bearing, and the master Of
ceremonies requested him to remove
his mask and cloak. To the astonish-
ment of the servants and the auuse-
ment Of the guests there was re-
vealed the shamefaced figure Of one
of the soldiers Of the guard on duty
in the hall below. The guard had
found a spare domino lying in the
hall and they had been putting it
on one after the other during the
evening, SO as to be able to so boldly
into the bathrooms and eat their fill
at the buffet unchallenged. So
amused at the story was the grand
duke that he refused to allow the
greedy soldiers to be punished.
