which Is perfectly proper, II will

New York.-It is- true of the em- bryo Edison-he tells it himself that the first time he ever saw a goose setting on eggs and found out why, he disappeared to be found after many hours setting on all the eggs he could gather. If a goose could hatch eggs, why could not he? If the steady heat of application and perseverance in a goose could pro- duce life. why was it not worth while to try out the same qualities in him self
 This is the first problem Thomas Ava Edison remembers to have con- fronted, and he says it is not so very different from some of the latest problems upon which he is at work.
 Spirit of Wonder-Wizard.
 Nor has he changed much except to grow. It is strikingly a case of the child being father to the man. Such refusal to take accepted facts of faith and such impulse to test the formative cells from which the amazing career has taken shape and strength.

The appropriations committee or. the Legislature has the proposal un- der consideration. and it is expected that the offer will be unanimously ac- cepted.
 Through the efforts of the officials of the local institution. the largest, and with one exception, the only sup ply of radium in Connecticut is in their possession. They have available 21O millograms valued at $25,200 and insured for $3o,000 which is more than twice the size of the supply of ale University. the only other insti- tuition in Connecticut to own radtuTn.
 The radium will be used for the treatment of cancer, the most effective cure Known to the medical profes- sion, and will be at the service of the poor people of the state free of charge, provided the legislature ap- propriates $50,0Oo to pay for the food and lodging of such patients and other cases.
 Cases will be accepted for treat ment from any town or city in the state, and patients who are financially able will be charged the regular rates There are 25O beds in readi- ness at the. hospital for immediate use. and about 25 others can be press ed into an immediate emergency use.
