MARIE CURIE TELLS ABOUT RADIUM FIND Scientist Gives Full Account of Discovery of Great Value. In the second article on her life, published in the February issue of the Delineator magazine, Madame Marie Curie, noted scientist aqd codiscoverer of radium, tells how this mysterious element was given to the world as a result of as remarkable a bit of detective work as has been recorded in the annals of science, i The discovery was made in Paris, where ! the scientist and Pierre Curie, her husband, had been working along research lines. | “It was under this mode of quiet living, organized according to our desires,” | says Mine. Curie, “that we achieved the ! great work of our lives —the work began about 1907 and lasted for many years. “I had to decide on a theme tor my j doctorate. My attention had been drawn i j to the interesting experiments of Henri j | Becquerel on the salts of the rare metal j uranium. Becquerel had shown that by ! placing a little uranium salt on a photo- | graphic plate covered with black paper I the plate would be affected as if light had fallen on it. EFFECT PRODUCED BY SPECIAL RAYS. “The effect is produced by special rays i which are emitted by the uranium salt | and are different from ordinary luminous ! rays, as they can pass through black i paper. Besquerel also showed that these j I rays can discharge an electroscope. He 1 ! at first thought that rays were produced ! ! as a result of exposing the uranium salt i to light; but experiment showed that salts kept for several months in the dark i continued to emit the peculiar rays. “My husband and I were much excited | | by this new phenomenon, and I resolved ‘ -to undertake the special study of it. It ; seemed to me that the first thing to do | was to measure the phenomenon with precision. One of the models of the apparatus used by me for the first measurement of rays is now in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Philadelphia. • I was about to undertake a detailed study of the uranium and thorium rays wh°ii I discovered anew interesting fact. Some of these minerals revealed au ae- \ tivity three or four times greater than j that of pure 'uranium. Speculating about i the reason for this, there seemed to be but I one explanation. | SENSES SOME UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE, j “There must be, I thought, some un- ’ known substance, very active, In these i minerals. ; “My husband agreed with me. and 1 ; urged that we search for this unknown j substance, thinking that result could be quickly obtained. i “Neither of us could forsee that In ! beginning thl work we were to enter on 1 anew path of science which we should [ follow for all oatr future. J “The more we worked, the clearer we realized that the radio-active element could exist only In very small uantities. 1 However, it also became clearer that this | unknown substance possessed marvelous j properties and that its activity was very I great. "This realization held us absorbed In a j passionate research, despite the ever-tn- | creasing difficulties of the work. Asa matter of fact, it was only after years of the most arduous labor that we finally succeeded in separating the new substance I now known to everybody as radium. ; Here Is, briefly, the story of the search and discovery; | “Since we did not know at the be- ! ginning any of the chemical properties of ! the unknown substance, ’cat only that it ! emitted rays, it was by these rays that | we nad to search. We first undertook the ; analysis of a pitchblende from St. Joacbii msthal. Analyzing this ore by the usual I chemical methods, we added an examination of its different separated parts for radioactivity by the use of our delicate electrical apparatus. This was the b- ; ginning of anew method of analysis. which, following our work, has been ! greatly extended, with the result that a i large number of radioactive elements 'have been discovered. A few months j more work permitted us to understand its j chemical properties. EXISTENCE FIRST ! ANNOUNCED IN 1898. i In July, 1593, we announced the exist- \ ence of a now substance, to which I gave the name of polonium, in memory i of my native country (Poland). “But in discovering polonium we bad also discovered another new element. We were able to separate this second new substance, which was afterward shown to be more important than polonium. “In December, 189S, we could announce the discovery of this new and now famous element, to which we gave the name radium. “But the greatest part of the work had yet to be done. We had. to be sure, discovered the existence of the remarkable new element. On this work we now started. “We were very pooriv equipped with facilities for this undertaking. It was necessary to subject large quantities of

WINTER BEAUTY HINT j Hair Is by far the most conspicuous ; thing about us and is probably the most | easily damaged by bad o; careless treatj ment. If we are very careful in hair i washing, we will have virtually no hair : troubles. An especially fine shampoo for | this weather, one that brings out all the | natural beauty of the hair, that dissolves | and entirely removes all dandruff, excess j oil and dirt can easily be used at trifling ! expense by simply dissolving a teaspooni ful of Cantbrox (which you can get at j and druggist's) in a cup of hot water, i This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to ail the hair instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a flufflness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After Canthrox Shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure.— Advertisement,

matter to careful chemical treatment. We had neither money, suitable laboratory nor personal help for this great and difficult undertaking. “My brother had once called my earlier studying years the heroic period of my life; but I can say without exaggeration j that the period on which my husband {and I now entered was a truly heroic one. “The School of Physics could give us no suitable premises, but the director permitted us to use an abadoned shed that had been used by the School of Medicine as a dissecting room. Its glass roof was an Inadequate shelter against the rain. The beat was suffocating in summer, and the bitter cold of winter was only a little lessened by a cast-iron stove. WORKED IN OED SHED. “There was no question of obtaining the proper apparatus in common use by chemists. We simply had some old tai bels with furnaces and gas burners. It I was with this equipment that we entered lon our exhausting work. We had to ! use the adjoining yard for those of our I chemical operations that Involved produc- ! ing irritating gases. Even then the gas | often filled our shed. “Yet It was in this miserable old shed that we passed the best and happiest years of our lives, devoting all our days to our work. Often I prepared our lunch in the shed, so ns not to interrupt some particularly important operation. “Sometimes I had to spend a wliolt i day mixing a boiling mass with a heavy iron rod nearly as large ns myself. T would be broken with fatigue at that I day's end. I “Other days, on the contrary, the work would be a most minute and delicate fractional crystallization in tbe effort to | concentrate the radium. I was then anj noyed by the floating dust of Iron and

coal from which I could not protect my precious products. “But I shall never be able to express the Joy of the untrobuled quietness of this atmosphere of work and the excitement of actual progress and encouraged hope of still better results. The moments of discouragement that sometimes came after unsuccessful toll did not last long and gave way to renewed activity. We had happy hours of quiet chatting and discussion of the progress of our work while walking around our shed. “One of our joys was to go Into our rough little shack at night. We then saw on all sides the feebly luminous silhouettes of the bottles or capsules containing our radium products. It was really a lovely sight, and one always new to us. “Thus the months passed and our efforts, hardly interrupted by short vacations, brought forth more and more complete results. Our faith grew ever stronger. “About this talme we found a little means to get new quantities of raw material and to carry on some of our cruder processes in a factory, allowing me to devote more time to the more delicate finishing treatment. “At this stage I devoted myself more especially to the purification of the radium. My husband had just been named professor In the Sorbonne. He was preoccupied with his teaching duties and with the study of the physical properties of the rays of the new substances. “It was only after treating one ton of raw materials that I could get definite results. “But finally the day came when the Isolated substance showed all the characteristics of a pure chemical body. This was determined In 1902. “I then possessed one decigram of very pure chloride of radium. “It had taken me almost four years to produce the kind of evidence that

chemical science demands t A '***ove that radium was truly anew element. This demonstration which cos*- so much effort, was the basis of the new science of radioactivity . “In later years I was able to prepare several decigrams of pure radium salt and to make a more accurate determination of the atomic weights and even to Isolate the radium In the state of pure metal; but 1902 was the year In which the existence and character of radium was first definitely shown.” John ‘Peeved’ When Wife WentWith Joe Two calls were received by the police today from persons living In tbe neighborhood of engine company No. 6, West Washington and California streets, saying a drunken man was wandering about the street When the police arrived the first time the man had disappeared, but when they returned they found John Kress, 29, 136 North Blackford street, who said he was “mad” because his wife bad left him to go with Joe “Dummy” Ford, 743 West New York street.
