Science Confirms Legend.

Dr. Albert Cann of the Heidelberg Cancer institute announces the result of certain experiments which show that the human organs contain quantities of radium or some allied radio, active substance. Anatomical specimens which could not possibly have come into contact with Isolated radium showed all the qualities associated with radium. Dr. Borness, another Investigator, announces that the brain substance is radio-active and under certain conditions irradiates a faint glow. Science, ho says, has always derided the idea of the halo, or nimbus, with which the Savior and the angels are depicted. But now science comes to confirm the religious legend. The nimbus is a fact. Invisible indeed to the ordinary eye. but perhaps visible in another age and under abnormal conditions of the body and mind.
