May 11.—Madame Curie, eminent sclentist and co-dis- coverer of radium, was a passenger on the steamship Olympic which ar- rived in port this morning Southampton and Cherbours. \ Madame Marie Curie whose dis- covery of radium in 1898 has been “the realization of the dream alchemists” was born in w. Poland, on Nov. 7, 1867 Her father, Professor Sklodowslvi, was an instructor in physics and chemistry in the University of Warsaw and for some years before entering upon her professional career as a scientist, she worked dn his laborator Mme. Curie received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1903. She married in 1896 Pierre Curie, professor of general physics in the University of Paris, who had shared with her the honor of collaboration in givihg her great find to the world. Some years later Professor Curie was struck by a wagon in Paris and killed. His widow succeeded to his profes- sorship. Madame Curie has two chil- dern, Trene, 20 years old who, like her mother has taken up sclentific search and another daughter of years, 15 Saves Many Lives The discovery of radium enriched many persons throughout the world. It s been estimated that its use during the war saved the lives of not less than 50,000 wounded men. Notwithstanding the fact that Madame Curie has devoted more than half of her 52 years to the study of radio- active substances, she is a compara- tively poor woman and lives when at home at the Institut Curie in Paris on the salary of a teacher at the Sor- bonne. “I gave my she declared. secret to the world,” “It was not to enrich anyone. It was for all the people.” Many fantastic stories have been told about radium and its mysterious properties. It has been said that an ounce of this “metallic chemical element found in pitchblende,” is worth more than $3,000,000, to ob- tain which requires the reduction of 5,600 tons of ore by the most pain- staking and complicated processes. Has None of Her Own The modest discoverer of radium has never, it is said, refused to re- lease it for the use of humanity world as a result of which her small has become exhausted. The Polish woman savant’s visit to America, primarily for the purpose investigating pitchblende deposits in Colorado, Utah; Pennsylvania and other states, gave rise to the move- ment on the port of American women to supply Madame Curie with a gram of radium worth shall be “all her own.” This will ena- ble her to continue her researches along curative lines when she returns to Paris, Dr. Robert Abbe, a New York surgeon, who worked years ago along- side of Mme. Curie in her Paris labor- atory, recently declared that no.other woman had ever pursued a trall into an unknown jungle and brought to light such an “unsuspected new factor which had had such a revolutionary influence in science.” He said she did not stumblgon radium by chance. Educated in chemistry and physles, she possessed, he said “‘the dominat- ing will, the zeal in pursult, the in- defati able working power, the self- sacrificing bravery. The same forces which made it poesible for Peary to reach the North Pole, carried this explorer into an unknown wilderness, Every year a new chapter has to be written about this wonderful sub- stance.” Discovery of Radinm The discovery of radfum came about in this wise: Professor Roentgen, a German sclentist, announced his dis- covery of the X-Ray in 1895. These rays possessed the property of emit- ting radiations of a special character which were able to penetrate through matteér opaque to ordinary light. A yvear later H. Becquerel, a French physicist, observed that certain uran- fum preparations emitted rays re- sombling those discovered by Roent- gen. Becquerel rays became the new wonder and by delicate tests were proved to be electrical. Thus began the search for the new clement and every form of uranium in labora- tories was tested. Mms. Curie at this point diverged from the search of other chemists. She went to Carlsbad where pitch- blende had been mined for a cen- tury for the extraction of uranium in making Bohemian grass and beauti- ful dyes. Around the mines she found 50 tons of refuse, an analysis of which proved it to be four times as strong in Becquerel rays as the uranium which had been taken from the ore. Mme. Curie by long and tedlous pro- cess of extracting lead, silver, tin, bis- muth and other metallic from the pile of refuse dissolved the mass until the residue was 60 times from | POLITICAL ROMANCE—Miss P. Dereham, until recently secretary to Sir Arthur Griffith-Boscawen, British minister of Agriculture, is soon to be his bride. ‘ Therefore, there could be but one conclusion—Mme. Curie was facing a mysterious force.” Two years later she was able to announce its discovery and her method of fextracting it from the ore.

Paris, May 11.—The after-war or- gie of pleasure in cosmopolitan cen- ters has ¢eveloped so much daring cense in Paris that the minister of justice has taken the matter in hand and called a sharp halt to the gradual shrinkage in amount of dress worn on the stage and continual increase in loosenesa of speech. Everything approaching obscenity must be cut out of stage represent tions, he declares, and dramatic ar- tists and music hall singers must be clad. Otherwise, the artists and the directors responsible for the charactes ot the attrdctions offered to the public will be prosecuted. The press praises the minister for his courage and proposes a general movement in favor of the uplifting of dramatic productions. ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
