Across the
Border
A Scientist Believes He Was
Assisted by His De.
parted Wife
BY F. A. mitchell

When at college my predictions for
science were SO marked that on gradu-
ating I was sent to Germany to study
In the laboratory of a famous chemist.
and under bis tuition and after three
years spent In this way returned to
my alma mater as a full fedged pro
fessor of analytical chemistry. The
university was a coed institution. and
a number of the girl students took my
course, working under my instruction
In the laboratory.
Della Thorne was the only n OF
these who showed pre-eminent pro-
diciency at first as a student and after
ward as an original Investigator. At
her graduation / recommended her
for the position Of my assistant. and
she was appointed. She relieved me
of a great deal Of work ~instructing be-
ginners, and she and l soon drifted
into original research together. Natu-
rally we became attached to each 9th
er and were married.
Our marriage occurred about the
time that Professor and Nine. Curie,
working together in France, succeeded
In discovering radium, or rather sepa-
rating it from uranium. When their
announcement of the fact was made
to the world l said to my wife:
wouldn't 1t be pleasant if we could
make such an important discovery"
Perhaps we will" she said, with
that hopefulness characteristic of wo-
men.
/ smiled at her optimism, remarking
that scientists must be plodders; that
only about once In a century had the
pvorld seer a shining light like Har-
Fey, the d%iscoverer Of the circulation
Eof the blood, or Jenner, who gave us
vaccination. but my wife said that
where there had been one in each OF
preceding centuries there would be a
dozen or more in subsequent centuries.

Picking Berries In South Jerse,

A boom is reported from R%osenhayn.
They had a good shower there Memo
rial day and another one Saturday
night and they are not suffering for
rain like the farmers are in this Sec
tion. The Strawberries are in fine
shape aud the New York pickers are
arriving by the hundreds. These pick
ers are 3 happy-go-lucky lot. Whole
families take what they cay is the only
outing they get during the year. One
family of a mother and seven children
told Mr., Purvis that they lived and
had as high as ten dollars above the
living by the end of the first week.
They work hard and sleep practically
in the open and the children actually
get fat. There is nothing they enjoy
so well as this trip to the country and
they laugh at the stories of hardship
printed by some of the magazines.
Not long since an article went the
rounds s~deploring the sufferings of
these berry pickers. They were pic
tured al being worked to death by
heartless strawberry and cranberry
gro wers and having to sleep on mat
tresses spread upon crates. No doubt
tender hearted people pitied them but
there is no need of eympathy for the

Premier vtvtani's Speech

The power, the eloquence, the high
courage and clear vision Of Premier
NIvIANI's speech at the opening Of the
war session of the Chamber of Depr-
ties raise Il TO the attitude Of q his
tOric Grafton. This trumpet call 10 the
soul Of France will inspire a brave peo-
pie 10 make the utmost sacrifice to de-
fend their soil and to sustain a cause
which they regard as the cause OF hui
mainly and free government.
Aside from the nobility and elo.
quence of the French Premler's speech,
there Is to be noted proud assurance
Of the country's ability to carry on the
war indefinitely. Not only are the ex-
penses of the war being met without
resorting to loan, but there Is money
in hand TO reestabllsh industry. The
revenue from taxation increases and
"the French bank note Is accepted at
premium" France is solvent and
strong with two millions of men in
arms, although the cost OF the struggle
from day to day Is enormous and with
out any precedent.
Nothing Is more marked In this salu-
tation to people in arms. this stir

their heroism. than the indomitable
tone that pervades 1t from beginning
to end. France must completely trl-
umph, or as a nation lose her integrity

resolution of his devoted countrymen.
will not consider defeat and has stont
and unsuitable faith in victory that
will make France greater and more
powerful. as well as more secure. than
she has ever been. n there was a
doubt In any mind that France would
not abide upalterably by the compact
with England and Russia 10 fight on
until terms OF peace satisfactory to all
could he arranged. Premier VIvIANI has
swept that doubt away.
