The firm has thrown away these by-products as valueless, Unconsciously the chemists have flung through their laboratory doors a fortune whose magnitude can- not be estimated. The present price of racium is three dollars for one thirty- thousandth part of an ounce, Such a thing as an ounce of pure radium has never been found, If it could be its value, according to a great authority, Would be $3,750,000, It is impossible to estimate the amount of radium which the chemlsts have flung on the refuse heap of their laboratory, But it is safe to assume that it represents many substantial for- tunes, The bare fact of the curious discovery Was announced to the British Astro- nomical association by Sir William Ramsay, and caused a sensation among the scientists present.

In company with her close friends, Mr. and Mrs. Brannan, Mrs. Place will start from New York on March 28, and expects to reach Cal- ifornia within a year. They will take the journey in gentle stages, tramping as much each day as strength and in- clination will permit, and lodging |§ where they may be on the road. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Indian Territory, the northern part of ‘Texas | New Mexico and Arizona, is the itin- erary thus far mapped out, though the pedestr vill feel at liberty to de- part from it at any time. “We are undertaking the trip for pleasure,” said Mrs. Place, “and mean to pursue it with that end always in view. It has been my dream for many years to walk to California, but I» had difficulty in finding comrades brave enough to face the long journey of foot. Our purpose is to return in the same fashion, though we will come back across the northern states. The opening of the spring should give us some excellent weather, and I am looking forward to it with enthusi- 7m.” RESCUES MATE FROM SHARK.

At the time the sea and wind were moderate. A piti- ful cry from the man overboard that he was in the clutches of a shark ap- pealed to Massino Chiesa, one of: hig shipmates. Chiesa leaped into the sea and grabbed Sylvia in his stalwart arms, His rapid motion and noise in the water drove the shark away. Chi- esa swam with the disabled man until he caught the end of a long rope which had been thrown him from deck. Making both himself and Syl- via fast, the two were drawn to the vessel’s deck, when it was found that a shark had torn off a part of one of Sylvia's legs below the knee.
