Among other notes it states | that it is hardly twenty years since John Waymouth, the Wolverhampton engineer | and designer, discovered the motive power | of heat, exhibited it in one of the sim- plest, cheapest and most useful engines imaginable, and then deprived the world wf its benefit. He bad produced beforehand a round | dogen of excellent Invéntions which still bear his name, including the modern re- volving chimney cowl; and, having made a large fortune, he devoted himsglf to harnessing the ordinary heat of a fire | and making a new power of It. The idea was laughed at by all his friends; but, after four yeéars of study and experiment- irg, he produced a stationary engine that gave doubie the power of any steam driven mechanism at about one-third of the cost, and also a small model heat locomotive large enough to draw a truck with a man on it. i He invited a committee of scientists and | engin including Prols, Huxley and Forbes Brown, and showed them that his two machines viorked to perfection.

Curie Discourses on Polonium and Radium. Cause of Mysterious Prop- erties of Radio-Active S Substances. Several bits of history new to most readers are brought out by Mme. Curle. One is the share which she and her husband had respectively in the < fa- mous discovery of polonium and ra- dlum. As long ago as 1898 she had found | that salts of thorium emitted substan- | tially the same peculiar radlations as uranium compounds. A German, | Schmidt, seems to have hit upon the fact simultancously, but, 80 far as the Parls chemists were concerned, Mme. Curie alone deserves the credit of that discovery. It was then noticed that a ! large number of natural minerals, which are mixtures of several salts, but which contained either radium or were radio-active. At first it was be- lieved that one or the other of these two metals was responsible for the phenom- enon. Mme. Curie then undertook an experiment which suggested a different conclusion. One of these minerals was chalcolite, | which is a compound of phosphates of copper and uranfum. ' In its native state it was about twice as powerful as ura- nium {n emitting what are known as Becquerel rays. Mme. Curle manufac- tured an artificlal chalcolite, putting in the proper ingredients to insure gen- ulneness, but this product failed to ex- nibit the same radiating power as the native salt. This has excited a sus- picion that some other element was present in minute quantities in the lat- ter. It was at this point that M. Curle was tempted to join his wife in the hunt. Two new elements were elimin- ated, polonium, which resembles bis- muth in its chemical properties, and ra- dlum, which is allied to parlum. For the second of these part of the honor is due to M. Bemont, who assisted in’ tfe research. What Mme. Curie says about the cause of the mysterious properties re- cently observed deserves to be quoted in full: “From the beginning of the investiga- tions on radio-active substances the spontaneity of their radiation has been a problem which has had the greatest interest for all students and investiga- tors in physics. To-day we are further advanced in our knowledge of radio- wctive substances, and we know how to) isolate one radio-active body of great radiant power—rad By taking ad- vantage of the wonderful properties of radium we have succeefied in making a profound study of the ruys emitted. by | radio-active bodies generally. The dif- ferent kinds of radiations which have been studied up to the present time all present certain analogies with the groups of rays which exist in Crookes | tube: with the so-called cathode rnyu and with the Rontgen rays. Similar groups of rays are also to be found in the secondary radiations produced by Rontgen rays, and in the radiation from substances which have, by induction, ac- | auired radio-activity. “While the nature of the radiation is actually better known than before, the cause of spontaneous radio-activity re- | mains as much of a mystery as ever, and | this phenomenon is still an enigma for us. Spontaneously active substances, and, above all, radium, are sources energy. The amount of energy in which they give rise is revealed to us by the radlations of Bacquerel and by the chemical and luminous effects produced, a the fact that there is a constant ngagement of heat. a d “It has been asked, then, ergy thus manifested is created the radio-active substances tnemselv or, | rather, jf it is not borrowed by them from external sources. None of the nu- | merous hypotheses which have been founded on these two methods of view ing the question have as yet r :vl\wd any experimental confirmation m- Independent. e - $42 YOSEMITE AND RETURN. 842 The Pe-sonally Conducted Excursion | to Yosemite Via Santa Fe Leaves San Francisco Tuesday, September 15.
