THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BRicK"

T IKE many other expressions

pear to belong to the slang Of a
very recent period. Hes a
brick" dates back to the days of
ancient history, PTutarch being
authority for the statement that
Lycurgus used 1t In connection
with the defense Of Sparta.
The story goes that Lycurgus,
being a man of few words, was
asked whether Sparta should be
incIosed with walls, and replied
THAT city is well fortified
which has a wall of men instead
of brick" trir
Another historical allusion of
the same nature was made when
an ambassador from Epirus, on
a diplomatic mission, was shown
by the king of Sparta over his
capital. The ambassador was
amazed TO see that the city was
apparently unfortifled and re-
marked about the matter.
Indeed" replied the king.
Thou canst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tomor-
row and will show you the
walls of Sparta"
On the following morning the
king led his guest out upon the
plains. where his army was
drawn up in full battle force.
There, pointing proudly to the
solid battalions Of armed men,
he exclaimed: "Thou beholdest
the walls of Sparta-every man

OF mankind. will soon be conquered by
the use of radlum.
Since the. beginning OF time this ele-
ment has existed In nature. For the
last score or more of years the pres
ence of some unseen but powerful
force has been suspected. Scientists
sought to discover what 1t was, but
sought In vain, till quiet little Polish
woman, after years of laborious exper-
iment, discovered It,
That a woman should have made
this dlscovery-One of. the most notable
In all history-is highly important.
, II disproves forever the old conten-
. ton that there is any difference be-
tween>t the brain of man and that of
a woman.
The highest concentration, the great
est reasoning power, the most indom-
liable determination were required for
the years of work which had to be done
before this discovery could be made.
"A man stumbles on gold mine or a
diamond deposit by accident. But to
find a metal which exists in the most
minute quantities. and which must be
extracted by infinite pains from the sur
rounding elements. has to be located
first. and laboriously separated after

Countless experiments entered into
Nine. Curie's work. and only re-
markable human being could have

Much Is yet to be done before the
power of radium over cancer can be
thoroughly tested.
But this can be left to others, as the
consolidation Of captured position, In
war can be left to subordinates after a
brilliant general has won an engage
ment.
Nine. Curie has set an example. not
only for her own sex, but for all the
searchers for truth In the world.
Her achievement Is an inspiration.
and probably to the end Of time, will
be an Inspiration to the whole world.
