7 SAW Nine Curie recently. Tall,

presented the very type of the
high minded woman, of high place,

Alleged "transmutation" of metals

In 1901 Prof. Robert Duncan of the
chair of industrial chemistry in the
University of Kansas came to Paris
to study radioactivity. He died pre-
maturely. just before the war, in high
reputation, with a similar professor
ship at Pittsburgh and as visiting
lecturer at Clark University.
AS Prof. Duncan was diffident about
his French, I accompanied him sew
eral times to Prof Curie. 1t was less
than two years after the great dis

the free radium in the world in a
little tube in his vest pocket-from
| which he got bad burns.
They talked together as professors.

1t was my ignorance, Of course.

woman she is, had she not felt bound,
after Prof. Curie's tragic death
| (crushed by an omnibus). to continue
| his work. She had it all in her hands,
| and she managed to carry on.
Nothing could exceed the modesty
| of the Curie couples manners and
| ways. The ramshackle brick house
| with laboratory attached, was in the
neglected, then half-built Rue d'Alesia,
| with shacks and messy open lots. The
! Curies cared nothing for those shabby

had got hold Of a vast secret-of the
matter Of which the world consists
