WHAT A WOMAN DID
I'l‘ SEEMS probable that cancer, one
of the most deadly of the enemies
of mankind, will soon be conquered by
the use of radium,
Since the beginning of time this ele
ment has existed in nature. For the
last score or more of years the pres
ence of some unseen but powerful
force has been suspected. Sclentists
sought to discover what it was, but
sought in vain, till a quiet little Polish
woman, after years of laborious exper
iment, discovered fit. 1
That a woman should have made
this discovery—one of the most notable
in all history—is highly important.
It disproves forever the old conten
tion thaf there Is any difference be
tween the brain of a man and that of
a woman,
The highest concentration, the great
est reasoning power, the most Indom
itable determination were required for
the years of work which had to be done
before this discovery could be made.
A man stmgbles on a gold mine or a
diamond deposit by accident, But to
find a metal which exists in thg most
minute quantities, and which must be
extracted by infinite pains from the sur
rounding elements, has to be located
first, and laboriously separated after
ward.
Countless experiments entered into
Mme. Curie’s work, and only a re
markable human being could have
brought it to a successful conclusion,
Much is yet to be done before the
power of radium over ctncer can be
thoroughly tested.
But this can be left to others, as the
consolidation of a captured position in
war can be left to subordinates after a
brilliant general has won an engage
ment.
Mme. Curie has set an example, not
only for her own sex, but for all the
searchers for truth in the workl.
Her achievement is an inspiration,
and probably to the end of time, will
be an inspiration to the whole world.

DOES A HEN CACKLE
AFTER LAYING AN EGG.
THE statement that there is a di
rect connection between the cac
kling of a hen and the laughter of a
person who is pleased may sound
strange, but it is nevertheless true.
The human animal—man-—gives vent
to a series of sounds originating in
his throat when something causes him
pleasure. These sounds we character
ize as “laughter.”” Very much the
same process takes place when a hen
lays an egg. The presence of the egg
in the body of the hen causes the bird
some discomfort. When this is re
lieved, she is naturally pleased and
announces her pleasure to the world
by a species of laughter of joy whicly
we have termed jcackling.”
If we remember that many persons
“chuckle” when they are pleased the
relationship between the laughter of
human beings and the cackling of
hens becomes even more apparent and
it should be borne in mind that every
living thing expresses its pleasure in
some animate and usually vocal man
ner. Clats purr, dogs bark, monkeys
chatter, birds chirp or sing, children
jump up and down or cry out with
joy, adults laugh or chuckle, hens
cackle, It's simply the application of
different terms to the expression of
the same emotion.

First Christmas Card.
A stationer has reminded the “Way
of ‘the World” columnist of the Lon
don Morning Post that the first Christ
mas card was published more than
seventy-five years ago. This beautiful
token of remembrance and friendship,
writes the columnist, was invented
by Sir Henry Cole, who, in 1846, asked
J. C. Horsley, R. A.., to design a popu
lar Christmas greeting to be materjal
ized as a card transmissible through
the penny post. A trellls of rustic
work in the Germanesque style divided
the card into a center and two side
panels, The sides were filled by repre
sentations of the feeding of the hungry
and the clothing of the naked. Of
the first Christmas card a thousand
copies were sold. :
The Worthy Amateur.
There is no excuse for amateur
work being bad. Amateurs often ex
cuse their shortcomings on the ground
that they are not professionals, the
professional could plead with greater
justice that he is not an amateur.
. . . 'The question is, what is the
amateur an amateur of? What is he
really In love with? Is he in love
with other people, thinking he sees
something which he would like to
show them? . . . If this is his po
gition he can do no wrong, the spirit
in which he works will insure that his
defects will be only as bad spelling
or bad grammar in the pretty saying
of a child.—Samuel Butler, "

affidavit to the mileage and service given by Oldfield tires.

Old Theory Exploded.
It is commonly believed that the
great temple of Karnak was built by
the ancient Egyptians so that the sun
at the precise moment of the solstice
should shine straight down the axis of
the temple. But the HEgyptian survey
has made accurate meastirements of
the temple and proves that the sun
lhas never been visible at all, at any
moment in any day in any year along
the axis of the temple, since about
6000 B. C., and that it last set along
the central line of tls axis between
twelve thousand and thirteen thou
sand years ago. “At this date,” says
the Scientific American, “Europe was
still in the Old Stone Age; the cave
perfod was at its zenith, and the hunt
ers of the Dosdogne were chasing
reindeer over the French tundras. To
suppose that the temple of Karnak
can have been built then is out of the
question.”
Great Composer Married Cousin,
The wife of John Sebastian Bach,
the great German composer, who wasg
also his cousin, was as unlettered
as the ordinary young lady of her
station and day, and there 1s doubt
as to her ability even to read and
write. But she was intelligent In
musle, and for this reason made an
excellent companion for her illustri
ous husband. Her maiden name was
the same as his, and the two inherited
their musical predisposition from a
line of muslcal Bachs, extending back
over 200 years. Bach was on tour
with the court orchestra at the time
of his wife’s death, and the news of
it gave his unromantic, unemotional
nature what is probably the greatest
shock it ever received. lor a time
he was heartbroken, but the wound
healed, and he remarried not long
afterward.
. Hobbies,
One strid@@made by the modern
mind, both in philosophy and ethics,
i{s that of doing justice to the hobby.
Hobbies not infrequently sssume a
scientific or at least a quasi-scientific
form. Happy is the man who is ah
amateur botanist, an amateur. zoolo
gist, an amateur anything, which
brings him into kindly contact with
nature. Take it by and large, the
world is much better off for hobbies
than it would be without them. Even
in the tolerant and half-pitying smile
bestowed on the hobbyist there is
recognition that his hobby is harmless,
But in one hundred and ninety-nine
cases out of a thousand, the hobby
is a positive benefit. Almost always
it is a health-preserver, and more
times than it gets credit for it has
proven a life saver.—Buffalo Times.
