knoacn element which possessed these
strange Photographic powers. She at last
succeeded in extracting from these groups
an infinitesimal quantity of crystals of
these new elements in question. She called
the one Polonium, in memory of her ma
tive country Poland, and the other, which
was found later, Radium.
When she visited the United States of
America last year, President Harding pre-
sented her with gram of the rare sub
stance. 1t was generous gift by a
grateful people which had been benefited
by the use of radium in medical science
This minute gift is valued at one hundred
thousand dollars so difficult is it to extract
it from the other metals in which it is
found.
Since its discovery radium has been of
immense Importance in many branches of
science, especially in surgery. But there
are dangers here too. We know how to-
extract radium from the heart of Nature,
we know how to use it in some ways, but
zoe kno7v Very little about its powers and
effects outside of what we can see with
our eyes.
1t has been found that radium held in
the hand even for a moment or carried
about on ones person any length of time
causes serious burns and modification un-
less the utmost precautions are taken; and
many fatal injuries have been sustained in
this way. Still, many disinterested scien-
lists are unselfshly risking their health
and personal safety in these unexplored
fields of knowledge in efforts to learn the
properties of this new agency; and who
can tell but that the coming years hold
even more revelations in connection with
this wonderful element? Indeed, it is one
of the greatest Wonders of Science which
we are only beginning to understand.

How Nature Makes Jewels

That the diamond is nothing but piece
of super-coal, is know to many people. 1t
is costly because rare and when cut it gilt
ters wonderfully. The opal, the diamond s
rival, is literally nothing but silica (Aint)
and water. True it is that these two ee-
ments have been cooking" for some thous-
ands of years in Natures crucible, and
that the output is small. Hence the price.
But the beautiful iridescent coloring is
merely water and not "fre." The ex-
quisite turquoise, with its soft blue color,
is but phosphate of alumina (clay), and
the copper in the earth is the color maker.
But clay and copper crucibled in Natures
chemical laboratory produce the turquoise
The sapphire, Oriental ruby, and topaz,
are but crystals of Ainty earth. The sap
phire's blue color is merely iron-one grain
of it acting on 100 of alumina. The red
of the ruby comes from the clay being
acted on by chronic acid. The garnet
and beryl are only compounds of flint and
alumina, with-for the making of the beryl
some earth called glucina, sweet salt
secreted by Nature. The lapis lazuli is
nothing but common earth saturated with
sulphuret of sodium. All the above, and
other precious stones, could be made by
the ton-if we had Natures crucible.
Water, clay, flint, sodium, are as cheap as
dirt! 1t is the crucible we lack.-Ex.
