Curie, the discoverer of radium, says i is worth 3,000 times its weight in pure gold, and he ought to know. “Another thing I noticed is that the strange stbstance can be seen better at night than in the day time. I believe that is because the eye is full of light in the day time and therefore not so acute when it suddenly becomes dark. In the night, however, the eyes have become accustomed to the darkness and their penetration is greater. POWER OF ELEMENT. “In regard to radium photographs, a friend of mine told me recently that a number of plates he had in the drawer of his desk were so fogged that he The Finest Cocoa in the World Costs less than One Cent a Cup Our Cholee Recipe Book, sent free, will tell you how to make Fudge and & great variety of dainty and Chocolate.

The ra- | dium was in the top drawer of the desk | and the plates in the bottom drawer, showing that the rays had penetrated through three or four pleces of wood and the paper coverings of the plates.” | The radium Dr. Booth used in these | experiments was imported from Ger- many, though a great deal of it is pur- chased in France.: It is inclosed in a | little glass tube that is sealed at both | ends. It is really a white powder, but | gives the vessel containing it a violet | tint, this tint being permanent unless | the glass is heated red hot. This col- ‘nrinz of the glass is an instance of the | importance of radium to the arts, as it ]ma)’ be used to modify the colors of | glass and crystals, and possibly of | gems. that radium is an agent for distinguish- | ing real from imitation diamonds, since | it cauvses the real stones to sparkle | brightly when brought near them in a | darkened room and has hardly any ef- fect whatever on the false stones.
