When radium rays are applied. Tj the radium is placed in a special IJ prepared room with a slit in the wall or whereby the rays are made to fall only p* upon the precise spot desired. The w h&ndler of radium, if he desires safe-> P* ty, must wear gloves lined with lead, Sl1 and if he would avoid injury to his ^ eyes lie will wear spectacles of glass containing lead sails. Even armed with j'n cumbersome lead-lined gloves, radium he salts must be touched only with , in pneers and must be handled only up- H on wooden tables lined with lead.

A tine specimen of 'lie 1 ' on elephant tortoise was shipped to ling- re lai:d, reachiug its destination in Oc- j or toher just as the chilly weather was beginning. On its journey the tortoise _ seems to- have regaled itself to a con- ~ si^erable extent on the straw in which it was packed. Almost as soon as it arrived the tortoise passed into a state of hibernation. The following April i the creature took a short walk round j on a sunny day but its activities were short lived. Quite soon the tortoise I became desperately ill with stomach I trouble and it was not long before it died. A post-morteju examination re-; vealed the fact that the animal had: died from acute indigestion started by the large amount of strs eaten on its journey to England. During thy winter sleep of the creature the dis-1 ease seems to have been held in ai>ey-: ance only to develop on fatal lines when the hibernation was at an end.? j Scientific American. Not Usually, Just Occasionally. Many a joke has been told about the caiminess of the Scots, but nowhere j are these enjoyed more than north of j tie Tweed. There is the tale about | Sandy, who came back from London j saying that all Londoners were thieves j and robbers. According to his story, he had been going down Bond street, one day, and had been lured by an advertisement into buyiug a thousand I i pics for a penny as a present for his ( wife. But when he came to count them j there were 16 short. Whether such I yarns are true or not does not matter, i bat everyone knows that the Scots are | ken about the "bawbees." Perhaps j that is why the present outcry in Brit- ; ain for economy has led to the ap- i poiniraent of a Scotsman as chancellor ; of the exchequer. The Scots only smile at such a suggestion, and point otit: that the chancellor of the ex cnequer usuaiiy euus vy uemg juiui? minister.?Christian Science Mentor. / Pension Practices of France. France, where it is tlie custom to 1 pay. pensions to the descendants of i ojf^inal pensioners until the line ex- i p*te?, stilt pays a pension to the j B'A-ssas family, whose forefather j sacrificed his life on the eve of the j battle cl Klosterkamp in 1780, to J keep the French army from being surprised. It also pays 7S pensions thai date from the first empire. To La Boissiere de Chambord was paid 6,(XX) llvres a year until his death a few months ago, because a dauphin of France killed one of his ancestors. and until recently it paid a pension to the descendants of Montcalm. But the tremendous pension list, which is the more surprising because of the traditional thrift of the French, now has attracted the attention" of economi ical legislators and is likely to bej much curtailed. May Pipe Coal From Mines. The suggestion of piping coal* fiotn j the mining regions to New York is j being seriously considered. It is pro- [ p*sed to grind the fuel into rather j small particles at the mines, and then j shoot it through pipes into the heart of the metropolis, where the water will bo removed, and it Is then ready for burning-, thus saving delay and expense.
