PERPETUAL LIGHT PLANT Famous Discoverers of Wonderful Element So Permeated with Its Rays They Live in Constant State of Radiation?Necessary to Build ? Another Laboratory. The celebrated chemists, M. and Alme. Currie, are suffering from an embarrassment of too much radium. The famous chemists of Paris, whose discovery of this wonderful element plunged the scientists of the world into grave^doubt as to the soundness of the atomic theory, have become the victims of this mineral Franken stein and, having been driven from their laboratory, are now likely to be driven from their home. M. Currie and his wife, who had aided him in every step in his re searches, are suffering from what Mme. Currie characterizes as a "ra dium pest." Incidentally they have developed the fact that with radium in use in sufficient quantities the extor tions of the gas trust would become a thing ot the past and the establish ment of municipal ownership too sim ple to require more than the impreg nation ot all parts of the city with radium rays. The laboratory of the Curries lias been turned into a perpetual lighting plant by the abundant use of metal in experiments, and even the room lnK which they sleep has become so thor oughly impregnated that it has be come necessary to surround the bed at night with heavy black curtains ou the sides and across the top. There is radium everywhere about 'he. house and laboratory of the Cur r'.es, and there is but little hope of relief for many years yet to com'e, as they have estimated that the power of the light from the impregnated walls will have diminished less than oO per cent in forty years. Tbo radium follows the two chem ists everywhere. There is no way of getting rid of it; no way of cleaning the place or their clothes of the mys terious light that clings to and fol lows them. Every piece of apparatus, every article in use about the labora tory becomes in time a separate foun tain of light, giving off the weird and setting up a new point of brilliance, to remain such for decades. In discussing the strange misfor tune that has overtaken her husband and herself, Mme. Currie said today: "We will have to build .mother la boratory In our garden. The old one is so impregnated with radium as to render all our apparatus use'ess The delicacy of all the old apparatus was destroyed by the influence of the radium, and if we put new apparatus In the radium infected rooms it soon deteriorates. "The finest electroscopes It Is pos sible to buy work less accurately in a room where radium has been exposed than the clumsy article consisting of a cork, tin foil and the mouthpiece of an old pipe. My husband and myself have found It. impossible to work In a room where radium has been ex posed for any length of time. The rays infect not only the room, but the whole building. It has become, In lact, a radium pest. Some of the apparatus that has been exposed, the new as well as the old, has acquired the property of throwing' off radium rays and cannot be used7 "The building will nAve to1 be torn down, for even if every particle of radium is removed, the rays will keen on increasing In intensity for two or three years, and after that, although losing in intensity, will deteriorate less than 50 per cent in 50 years. "What would occur if you exposed an article continuously to radium rays for any length of time?" was asked. "It would continue to give off rays for a hundred years, at least." was the answer.?New York Journal. Many Bibles Sold. Popular novelists will be surprised tc hear that the most popular book is net a novel at all. In the course of a talk with a writer in the Book Month ly, Henry Froude of the Oxford Uni versity Press says: "So far as I can calculate, the whole output of English Bibles in the course cf a year is about 2.000.000 copies. Moreover, the Bible differs from nov els in having a steadily increasing sale. Just thirty years ago the Oxford "Tniversity Press alone sent out half a million copies. By 189G the sale had doubled." Big Pay for Judges. There are now no fewer than eight ex-judges in England in receipt of total pensions amounting to $121, 6G2.50 a year. A judge who continues ou the bench after completing fifteen -ears' service really does his work for $7,299.75 a year, the difference be tween his salary and pension. The lord chancellor is entiled to a pension of $24.32.50 a year for life, however short the tenure of the chancellor chip. The business of college education Is one of the greatest businesses of the country. The 42G colleges and universities, in which are enrolled 175.000 students, represents an in Vested capital of $250.000,000 and givo employment, to 25.000 persons as teachers and officers. At the present rate of crumbling England will have been swallowed ui by the sea in the year 12184, accord ing to the calculations of a corre spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung Huge fink.

The department of agriculture is spe cially interested in the project now on I foot of draining the Everglades. These half-flooded swamps to the south of the huge pond known as Lake Okee chobee are to be converted into dry and productive land by constructing dikes and pumping out the water?an achievement which, when carried into effect, will bring about the shipment, a dozen years from now, of immense sup plies of tomatoes, new potatoes, cab bages, string beans and other fresh garden produce to northern markets all through the winter. It has even been suggested that Lake Okej?ochobee might be drained by con necting it with the Atlantic ocean by a canal 50 miles long, thus redeeming 600,000 additional acres of first class farming territory.?Oujting Magazine. Men Are in Majority in the U. S. Taking it "by and large," the male sex is in the majority in our country by some 1,638,321, according to a recent census bulletin. In some of the states, however, the women exceed the men in number, notably in the District of Columbia, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Usually men are in excess in sparsely settled communities and wom en in thickly populated regions; cities, for ex- le, as a rule have more fe males k .a males. In the later years of life the women exceed the men, which seems to indicate that they are longer lived. In the period from 16 to 26 years of age, also, the reports show them to be in excess.?Success Maga zine. King Alfonso's Body Guard. King Alfonso is perhaps more secure ly and carefully guarded during the hours of darkness than is any other European monarch, except, perhaps, the sultan of Turkey. l<or four cen turies the slumbers of successive sover eigns of Spain have been watched all night by the "Monteras de Espinosa"? a body of men to whom is relegated the exclusive privilege of guarding their monarch from sunset to sunrise. They must have an honorable military career, and be natives of the town of Espinosa. Ceremoniously, they lock the palace gates at midnight, opening them at 7 the next morning.?London Tatler. Hospital Cars in Prussia. The Prussian ministry for railways has placed at every important rauway center caroughout the kingdom a mag nificently built and appointed car lor the transport of sick persons. These cars have been specially iitted up Crom plans supplied by sanitary authorities, bpring uecls and every medical device lur the alleviation of sufferings dunug transit have been utilized. There are ice safes, gas stoves tor cooking, rooms for attendants and ingenious devices for muffling the sound caused by the motion of the train. It is not intended to make these carriages pay; tney have been instituted chiefly on the ground of humanity. , England's Best Known Church. The name of St. George's, Hanover square, seems to be well known to every American who comes to England, says the London Chronicle, not so much because it is the fashionable "marriage church" in this country, as because President Roosevelt was mar ried in it. A few years back an Amer ican dropped into the vestry and looked up the marriage register, in which, un der the date of Dec. 2, 1886, he found the signature of "Theodore Roosevelt, 28, widower, ranchman," and that of "Edith Kermit Carow." Till tnen even the clerk, J. Molcey, did not know that the American President's signature was in the book. Japs the Yankees of the East. The Japanese traders, officials, sol diers and workers are pushing irresisti bly into Manchuria, and now that the war 1b ended the Yankees of the east will guide and instruct the Chinese and dominate them and their markets. It seems likely that, wunout any Chinese boycott whatever, American industry will be put to the test to compete on iair terms with the Japanese before many years have elapsed.?Philadel phia Ledger. Number of Feet a Second. Few men could tell if they were asked how many feet per second they walk. A press photographer, whoso work requires him tq know all manner of speeds, said the other day: "The average man walks four feet per second. A dog on its ordinary jog goes eight feet a second. A horse trots 12 feet a second. A reindeer over the ice makes 26 feet. A racehorse makes 43 feet. A sailing ship makes 14 feet." ?Chicago Chronicle. Large English Families. A report of the awards made by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society to farm laborers who bring up the largest families without having received paro chial relief shows that eight men are fathers of 124 children. One of the men had 20 children born, brought up 17, and placed 12 out in the world.? London Tit-Bits. London's Consumption of Ice. London uses In one way or another quite 200,000 tons of ice a year. Al though a great deal of ice is made arti ficially, most of that consumed here is natural and Norwegian. The Norwe gian ice crop in an average winter varies from 500,000 to 600,000 tons. At least half of this comes to the United Kingdom, the rest going to the conti nent?Tit-Bits. If you tell a woman that a 50-cent article is worth $1.50 she will cheer fully give up US cents for It.
