THE NEW ELEMENT.
Experiments Which Resulted in the
Discovery of Radium,
The investigations whica resulted
in the detection of Becquerel rays be
gan soon after the discovery of the X
rays and were intimately connected
with it. In the early days of Roentgen
rays there were many facts which sug
pgested that phosphorescence had some
thing to do with the production of
these rays. It occurred to several
French physicians that X-rays might
be produced if phosphorescent sub
stances were exposed to sunlight in
stead of to the electrical action of 2
Crookes tube. Prof. Henri Bacquerel
of the University of Paris undertook
experiments to test this supposition
as early as 1896, only & few montks
after X-rays had been discovered.
Among the substances used in these
experiments was one containing the
metal uraniium. This was placed up
on a photographic plate, which had
first been wrapped in black paper in
order to protect it from the light.
After the piate had stood in bright
sunlight for several hours, it was re
moved. A slight trace of photographic
action was found at these parts just
as Becquerel had expected. It was
clear that rays were capable of pass
ing through the black paper. Since
the X-rays were the only omes then
known to possess this power, it seem
ed as though the problem of produc
ing X-rays by sunlight was solved.
Then came the fortunate accident.
After several plates had been prepared
for exposure to sunlight a storm came
up, and the experimeuts had to be
postponed for several days. When the
work was resumed the plates had been
lying in the dark room so long that
they might easily have deteriorated
in someé way, so that it seemed hard
ly safe to use them. But instead of
simply throwing the plates away
Becquerel fortunately developed them,
thinking that some action might possi
bly have taken place in the dark. The
result was that he obtained better
pitures than ever before. The expos
ure to sunlight, which had been re
garded as essential to the success of
the former experiments. had noth
ing at all to do with the mat
ter. The essential thing was the pres
ence of-uranium, and the photographic
effects were not due to X-rays, but to
Becquerel rays. There were many
long and difficult steps to take before
even our present incomplete knowl
edge of the subject could be reach
ed, but this fortunate accident was
the beginning of the long series of ex
periments which have already led to
the discovery of the new element
radilum and which bid fair to revolu
tionize some of the most fundamental
conceptiong of physics and, chemistry.

England and Japan.
That our sympathies are with Japan
fn this hour of trial we are free to
acknowledge, because we believe that
Japan staunds in this controversy, as
gshe herself asserts, for Anglo-Saxon
ideals asainst a power whose methods
and whote alms have everywhere, in
Poland and in Finland, in Armenia
and in Central Asia, in China and in
Manchuria, been absolutely opposed to
Anglo-Baxon ideals. It is for that rea
son that we represent in this matter,
as we believe, more truly than Mr.
Morley the sentiments of the British
people whom he rightly deseribes as
the oldest and greatest democracy in
Burope—sentiments which, we may
remind him, are openly shared by the
youngest and greatest democracy in
America—namely, the people of the
United States.—London Times.
Increasing Number of Murders,
In 1886 there were 1146 murders in
the United States, last year there
were 89076, The average number of
murders im the United States during
the last five years approximates 8500.
More homicides are committed in some
American states than in the whole
British or German empire. There are
more in this country than in any other,
Russis excepted, and at the present
rate of progress we shall soon be
ahead of Russis . —Chicago Tribune.
