concluded. 1T is my belief that Miss
Galland sends news to the enemy and
that she draws it from you without
your consciousness of the fact 1 tell
you honestly. Do what you will with
me-"
It took more courage than any act
Of his life for the loyal Bouchard to
dare such candor to superior. See
ing the patchy, yellow, bloodless face
drawn in stiff lines and the abysmal
stare of the deep-set eyes in their
bony Tecesses, Bellini was swept with
wave of sympathy.
Thank you, Bouchard. You've been
very fne!" said Bellini as he grasped
Bouchard's hand, which was icy cold.
My duty-my duty, in the hope that
we shall kill two Browns for every
Gray who has fallen that we shall
yet see them starved and besieged
and crying for mercy in their capital"
replied Bouchard He saluted with a
dismal, urgent formality and stalked
out Of the room with the tread of the
ghost Of Hamlet's father.
The strange impression that this
farewell left with Bellini still fingered
when, few moments later, Wester-
ling summoned him. Not alone the
dIffidence of new member of the
staff going into the presence accounted
for the stir in his temples, as he wait
ed till some papers were signed be-
fore he had Westerling's attention
Then Westerling picked up Bouchards
note and shook his head sadly.
Poor Bouchard! You can see for
yourself" and he handed the note to
BeIlini. I should have realized ear
her that it was a case for the doctor
and not for reprimand. Mad! Poor
Bouchard! He hadn't the ability or
the resiliency of mind for his task, as
hope you have, colonel"

Radium.

Radium results from the degenera-
ton of uranium, though there are in
termediate products, and radium itself
likewise gives rise to a series Of radio
active products differing from one an
other. In each of these cases of de-
generation. the process is similar. RAJ
dunn decomposes with the emission
of two sorts of rays called the alpha
rays and the beta rays. The alpha
rays are neither more nor less than.
atoms of gas helium, long since known
to exist in the sun by its spectrum,
and more recently detected in a ura
mum ore. The beta particles are iden-
teal with the electrons which form.
the cathode rays. The alpha particles
are expelled from the radium at a
tremendous velocity, but this is far
excelled by the velocity of the beta
rays. Sir Ernest Rutherford and his
colleagues in photographed investi-
cation have succeeded not only in de-
termining the identity OF the alpha
particles with helium, but also in es-
tablishing the relative size of the
electrons and the atoms of helium.
The mass of the beta particles is only
about one seven-thousandth part the
size of the helium atom, and most Of
the heating effect Of radium is due to
the energy of the larger alpha par
ticles.

They Stopped Him.

Broadway, the long lane of many
pitfalls, fairly teens with tempera-
mental scribes. Bide Dudley collected
whole book full of them. The last
one he tackled was William Raymond
Sill at the Casino theater "Bill' was
asked if he ever bridled and saddled
old Pegasus. You talk like Wagner
wrote operas" he replied. What was
the matter with Wagner" was asked.
TOO strong on the basses," replied
Bill But he was a good short stop"
Then Bill came across with the fol-
lowing; Its beauty of the female sort
that causes all our woe. This fact
was demonstrated first by Eve long
years ago. And since that time mere
man has been a victim of the fair.
"They bring him trouble-trouble,
all the time and everywhere. The man
who robbed the bank can blame a
certain Mae or Pearl, the man the
street car flattened was entranced by
some sweet girl, the fellow that the
safe fell on would be a live man yet
had he not stood there gazing at some
fair one, you can hSt. The drummer
who just missed his train would not
have been delayed had he not stopped
to mingIe with a certain comely maid.
How fine 'twould be if all the girls
that drive US men to drink were ban
ished to some lonely isle! How fine
well, l don't think" Knowing he was
a very busy man, Mr. Sill was stopped
after the second verse.

Born Actors

The French are born actors, from
the first to the last; they have from
early childhood poses and motions
that are not to be found outside Of
France, except on the stage. Their
bearing is theatrical, their language
defamation, their whole manner re-
calling scenery and footlights-and
precisely the French produce fewer
great tragedians than any other ma
ton in the world. They are rich in
talents for social drama and the com
edy; they have the good fortune Of
seeing a Got and Coquelin, a st.
German and a Dieudonne, a Geoffroy,
Hyacinthe, PHeritier, Lassouche, act
on the stage contemporaneously, but
they produce no tragical talents OF
the first order, geniuses who could
bear comparison with d Devrient, a
Davidson, a Kean, Booth, irving, Rossi,
or Salyini.-Mex Nordau
