THE RICHMOND PAIXADIU3I AD SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 19it;

MME, CURIE STORM CEIITERJH FRANCE Co-discoverer of Radium Corespondent in a Divorce Action.

(National Ncwa Association) PARIS, Dec. 7. The action against

Mme. Curie, co-discoverer of radium with her late husband and considered the foremost woman scientist in the world, and Professore Paul Langevin, also an eminent scientist, is scheduled to be tried here tomorrow. The proceedings were instituted by the professor's wife and charge him with keeping an affinity in his conjugal domicile. Rumors were rife around the court today that the case would be postponed and probably never come to trial because of the willingness of Professor Langevin to make a financial settlement on his wife in order to avoid further publicity. The offense is punishable only with a small fine and lime. Curie will not be obliged to appear in court. The case has split French scientific circles into two warring factions, and the public and press have taken sides on the publicity given to the domestic relations of the savants by the promulgation of many letters from the woman scientist to her co-worker. Several duels have been fought between the Curie sympathizers and those who decried her ethics. Sympathy for Mme. Curie. Much sympathy has been expressed for Mme. Curie, and in many quarters the vlndictiveness of the professor's wife in airing her family difficulties is deplored. The debate among those who bold that Mme. Langevin should have accepted her fate with stoicism and those whose ethics decry the intervention of Mme. Curie, has divided the people and the press. The Paris Midi, a pro Curie sheets, comments editorially on the matter, saying: "Two women love a man. One has the privileges and priority of marriage and four children. The other . (Mme. Curie) has the prestige of genius, companionship and higher works. The man, after long hesitation between the companionship of body and the companionship of mind, made his choice. It was his right, the law admits, and the divorce tribunal will regulate it." The Journal that aired the correspondence between the discoverer of radium and her professor affinity, takes another stand: "The case," it says, "is not alone between two women and a man but threatens the ramifications of society with virtual free love. It is to be deplored that two of the brightest minds in France should set so bad an example for posterity." Still a third faction condemns the relationship but not from an ethical standpoint but because of the fact that Mme.' Curie is a Pole while her rival, Professor Langevln's wife, is Franch. Show Deep Affection.

The letters from the woman scientist show a deep and lasting devotino to her alleged affinity. They refer to past pleasures and speak hopefully of the future, when Mme. Langevin shall have been discarded via the divorce courts. Minute instructions are included relative to the Professor's attitude toward his wife and children, and throughout a note of deep attachment is sounded that brooks no intervention of conventionality. The facts cited by the petitioner how that Mme. Curie and Professor Langevin have been close friends since 'July 15, 1910, when the latter rentei and furnished a small apartment where the couple have alleged to have net daily. Prom that time until the disclosure made by the Professor's wife, they are alleged to have been inseparable, ach planning for a future in each other's company. The denouement creat

ed a great sensation and was at first

denied by the Professor and Mme

Curie. Later, however, Mme. Curie's letters began to make their appear

ance and since then the accused cou5le have not sought to deny their re atlons.

King and Commons. 1 King James I. of England, although (keenly alive to his own divine right, yet recognised the power of the house of commons. Sir Robert Cotton was one of the twelve members to carry the famous declaration against monopolies to the king of Newmarket When the king caught sight of them he called out, "Oh, chairs, chairs, here be twal kynges comln'.N His majesty mounted his horse on one occasion to Had his usually quiet steed in a restive mood. "The de'U 1' my sanl, sirrah," aid the king to the prancing brute, "and you be no quiet I's send you to the 800 kings in the house of commons. They'll quickly tame you.

Crossroads Burials. Formerly It was a general custom to erect crosses at the junction of four roads on a place self consecrated according to the piety of the age, Suicides and notoriously bad characters were frequently buried near to these, not with the notion of indignity, but tar a spirit of charity, that, being excluded from holy rites, they by being burled at crossroads might be in places next In sanctity to ground actually consecrated.

For the Children

Small Lad's Souvenir of His Boyhood Days.

A home builder in California hit upon a charming idea when he bad his little son make the impression of his hands in the wet cement of the walk before his door. Although the imprint was made iu 1887. the outlines of the little hands are perfectly clear and will remain as a dainty souvenir of the small chap's play days.

The Blushing Tree. Among the many wonders of the vast Florida swamps there is nothing more surprising than the blushing tree. It actually blushes when the rain falls upon it. The mysterious and beautiful glow of color which It assumes in a rainstorm baffles description. As the rain drenches a tree, gradually, yet unmistakably the green gives way to pink. In a few minutes the green fades from sight Only in a few half hidden spots beneath the broad branches and on the trunk is there a tinge of green to be seen. The tree is as pink as the cheeks of the healthy girl. After an hour or more, when the shower is over, the tree assumes its familiar green once more. As it is changing back the spectator suddenly realizes the secret of the phenomenon. Certain tiny insects and not the tree itself change color. These peculiar parasites are possessed of the power of chameleons. In the bright warm sunshine they are greener than the tree on which they live, but when the chilly rain falls upon them they contract their tiny backs and become a pretty pink In tint. Millions of these change the color of the tree and make It appear to be blushing. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"Bast tha Bear." ""Baste the bear" la a funny game which a boy or girl should know bow to play. One player is the bear and sits in the center of a ring, choosing a second player to be his keeper. The

latter stands by the bear, holding hands with him or both grasping a short rope about two feet in length. The object of the players Is to tag the bear without being tagged them selves either by the bear or his keeper. According to the rules, the players can only strike at the bear when the keeper calls, "My bear is free!" If they do strike at the bear the players change places, the striker becoming the bear, the bear changing places with keeper and the former keeper joining the outside circle. It Is the endeavor of the keeper to protect the bear while the other players dodge In and out in the endeavor to tag the bear without being tagged themselves.

WOMEN ACTIVE IN FIGHT Oil PLAGUE Domestic Science Association Takes Active Part in Selling Xmas Seals. "If the people of Wayne County support our campaign to sell 50,000 Christmas seals this year, we can have a visiting nurse who will devote her whole time to fighting the white plague in this community," said Dr. S. Edgar Bond, secretary of the county anti-tuberculosis society, while telling the members of the local Domestic Science association of the campaign's purpose. With 75 per cent of the returns from the sale of stamps this year going di

rectly to the local authorities, the antituberculosis society, according to Dr.

Bond, will be able to cure many existing cases and prevent others by educating the public. Dr. Bond asserted that the average citizen of Richmond did not know that there were several serious cases of the plague in this city, which would not be treated properly owing to a lack of a special hospital or shacks, where they can get fresh air. The possibility of securing an expert nurse to assume charge of the fight here depends solely on the support given by the people to the crusade. If all the fifty thousand stamps are sold, the county's 75 per cent will amount to enough to pay a good share of a nurse's expense, said Dr. Bond. In the opinion of the anti-tuberculosis society secretary, this is one of the most vital steps in the fight. The visiting nurse will have for her duties the treatment of persons in the dangerous stages of the disease, and the distribution of literature telling how to prevent it. Chief among her tasks, however, Dr. Bond says, she will teach the people in the first stages of the disease how to care for themselves and obtain a cure without going away. The Domestic Science association is taking a leading part in assisting with the distribution of Christmas seals, and the address by Dr. Bond yesterday served only to etimulate the interest shown by the members. Dr. Bond announced this morning that the entire 50,000 seals had been put on sale early today throughout the country. Although no official count has been made, it is estimated that some thousands have already been sold.

ACREAGE REDUCED ON WINTER WHEAT

(National News Association) WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. The department of agriculture issued the initial report on the growing winter wheat crop today, making the acreage sown 32,648,000 acres as compared with 34,45,000 acres on December 1, last year. The condition of, the growing crop was given as 86.6 of perfect as corfipared with 82.5 on Dec. 1, 1910. The acreage sown is one and three-tenths less than at this time last year.

An Important Organ That Help to Protect the Brain. One of the most remarkable pieces of mechanism in the human system, a device which anticipated several of our modern patents, is the Adam's apple, which for ages physicians considered a sort of freak of nature without any material use in the human economy. But how differently this little device is considered today! If we had no Adam's apple there would have been more deaths from apoplexy and brain disorder than ever chronicled In history. Instead of being a useless organ this article serves as an important storage system to protect the brain. For instance, when we are excited

or too animated the heart pumps the

blood up to the brain a little too fast

and if it could not be stopped by some automatic device death or brain dis

ease would follow. The Adam's apple is the blood storage cistern which

intercepts the rapid flow and holds

the surplus blood.

Again, if the supply from the heart runs short and the brain is likely to

suffer from an Insufficient supply the

storage cistern gives up its surplus

of blood. Thus this organ acts automatically to check and Increase the

flow of the blood to the brain, protect

ing that organ from damage through our temporary excesses. Pearson's Weekly.

A FEW JUS HlflTS How to Send Your Gifts by Express. Do you expect to send your mother, sweetheart, or friend a Christmas present this year? If so, and you find it necessary to patronize some express company, it would be well to bear in mind the following suggestions submitted by an expressman:

1st. Ship your package early, by the 18th if possible. The express company will give you a small label to paste on the package reading "don't open until Christmas." This will insure the package reaching its destination before Christmas and give the additional pleasure to the recipient of the gift of having it Christmas morning. 2d. Use wooden boxes for packing. Glass or fragile articles should be well protected. It may cost a few cents more, but the danger of toss or damage is very much reduced. True, if the shipment is lost or damaged the

express company will pay for it, but that will give your friend no pleasure. 3d. Write the address in full, state, county, city, street and number on the box or package with ink or crayon. Tags are frequently torn off and last. 4 th. If you want to prepay charges,

write the word "paid" in large plain letters on the package. . 5th. Insist on a receipt and see that the amount paid is marked on the receipt and package, and the value of the package declared thereon. 6th. Write your own address in full somewhere on the package, following the prefix "From." 7th. Enclose a card in each box cr package reading; giving name and

j address of sender and consignee. This ; in order that should the outer marXI ing be destroyed the inner mark will insure prompt forwarding aud dUr- ; ery. 8th. If not convenient to ship iu ; wooden boxes, use strong wrapping paper, not newspaper) and tie with strong cord. 9th. If package contains anything of perishable nature, write word "perishable" in large plain letters on tha box. or package, to insure special atjtention and first delivery. ! If you will observe these sugge frit ions, you will greatly assist in insuring the prompt delivery of your gift j in good condition.
