fastener Tells How He Obtained
Enough of Precious Stuff for
Experiments.

An eastern college professor was
iecturing on radium.
"Radium is so valuable" he de-
Clared, that most small laboratories
have to get along as well as they can
without the actual experiments. In
fact, there are many colleges in this
country which do not possess any radi-
um at ALL and all that can be learned
of the element Is from books on the
subject. l will tell you how l Sc
cured the radium with which have
been performing experiments for a
number of years.
1T was not long after the Curies
made their discovery when q noted
French scientist came over to this coun-
try with a small quantity of the newly
discovered substance. He performed a
number of the stock experiments be-
fore several hundred students in this
lecture hall. When he concluded his
discussion he took the small piece Of
paper on which the radlum was lying
and poured the precious grains back
into their especially prepared recep-
tical. After doing that, he, with the
utmost care, brushed the tiny dust
from the paper, thereby causing his
large class to burst into laughter at
his seemingly exaggerated frugality.
You may laugh, said the lecturer,
but know that there are hundreds of
institutions in this country that would
give a great deal for that little coat
ing Of dust I have just saved. Many
experiments could be performed with
that alone for several years. I know

Sugar Cane introduced by Jesuits.
Sugar was first made in Louisiana
in 1851 by the Jesuit fathers from San
Domingo.
The cane grew well, but all at
tempts to manufacture sugar from 1t
were abortive, and it was not until
1891 that Don Antonio Mendez sue
ceeded in extracting sugar from cane.
Three years later Etienne de Bore
made such large crop of sugar that

credit of being the father of the In.

Scientific Experiments TO Be Made te
Demonstrate the Possibility Of
Improvement.


The Cambridge School Of Agricul-
ture is trying to make hens lay red
eggs. There is always the best mar
ket for eggs which are of the richest
red brown in color, and the problem
is to develop the right kind of hen.
The Cambridge eXperimenters hope
to produce red egg-laying hen of pro-
life habit, just as they have produced
a strong rust-resisting wheat of high
yield by working on the curious law of
Mendel. Hens have so far proved ad-
mirable examples of the working of
this law. In respect of single and dou.
BILE combs and in respect of color
they are perfectly obedient to the
proper scientific principle. They "be-
have" as they ought, to use the tech
nical verb. Why should not the eggs
behave as we'll as the feathers and
comb?
There is also the subsidiary question
of food. 1t may be possible to alter
the egg color by food as well as by
hereditary influences. 1t, has been
done in the case of canaries.
