Mortals That Her Suprem. acy Remains Unquestioned. Radium has indeéd a force which is as terrible as it is wonderful. It can be carried from place to place only when' encased in a_receptaclé having leadén walls several inches thick. ‘Even then the carrier will do well to swing the receptacle as he walks, lest holding it in a still position’ should permit the powerful rays to find their way through the lead and into his ' bedy. When radium rays are applied, the radium is placed in a ' specially prepared room with a slit in the wall whereby the rays are made to fall only upon the' precise spot desired. The handler of radium, if he desires safe- ty, must wear gloves lined with lead, and if he would avoid injury to his eyes he will wear Spectacles of glass containing lead salts. Even armed with cumbersome lead-lined gloves, radium salts must be touched ‘only with pincers and must be handled only up- on wooden tables lined with lead. This, then, is the character of the substance which a delicate Frenchwoman brought forth from a mass of waste ore and which she has tamed’ until it is ac- cepted as the most wonderful curative substance the world ever has known. She has tamed it, but grim. old un-{ sentimental nature, in characteristic jest, while letting mankind ‘have knowledge and nge of it, in that same| moment of generosity, lets him feel-as well how terrific ‘is’the force with, him play. — Hartford Timwes, DYSPEPSIA-AFTER 6 MONTHS Disease That Was Fatal to Tortoise | Had Its Inception Long Pre. vious to Hibernation. A very rematrkahle case of what is known as “deferred dyspepsia” oc- curred ‘at the London Zoological gar- dens last year. A fine specimen-of the elephant tortolse was shipped to Fog- land, reaching its destination in Oc- tober just as the chilly weather was beginning. On its journey the tortoise seems to have regaled itself to a con- siderable extent on the straw in which it was packed. Almost as soon as it arrived the tortolse passed-into a state of hibernation. The following K April the creature. took ‘a short walk round on a sunny day bat its activities were short lived. Quite soon the tortoise became desperately ill with stomich trouble and it ‘was aot'long befove it died. A post-mortem examination re- vealed the fact that the animal had died from acute indigestion started by the large amount of straw eaten on its journey to England.

He had been in storms denly March 15 was more than a prac- tical man could handle. At last an ancient superstition of the sea_came to the mind of Captain Bull, and he sent forthwith for the ship's barber. i [ “Hendrik,” he said, “how many shears and clippers have you stowed below?” S “Twenty,” said the barber. “Bring them up and cut the hair of all my men, beginning here on me.

When every man had parted with his hair the barber called a stew- ardess to his chair, but just before his clippers touched her head the furious hurricane went dead. fjord arrived here with almost a hair- less crew.
