RAY SUPERSTITION. SCIENCE AND ,|The Shak of Persia's Experience With Radium. - Radium--most mysterious of the '| new mysteries in modern science--is so little familiar to unscientific men that the panic of the Oriental pot- entate described in'a recent book by Mons. Xavier Paoli, a French detective, is easily understood. Once, while in Paris, the Shah of Persia, Muzaf-far-ed-din, expressed a wish to know something of Pro fessor Curie's discovery, Monsieur) Paoli made the necessary arrange- ments. Complete darkness. is of course needed if radium is to reveal itself in all its brilliancy. . With endless trouble Paoli persuaded the monarch to descend"nto one of the hotel cellars that had been ar- ranged for the purpose. But at length his majesty, with all his suite, proceeded to the un- derground apartment. = Professor Curie closed the door, switched off the electric light, and uncovered his specimen of radium. Suddenly a shout of terror between the roar of a bull and the yell of a man be- ing murdered rang out, and was echoed by a hundred others. "Amid general excitement and consternation," writes Monsieur Paoli, "we flung ourselves upon the Slectric switches, and turned on the ts. "Then we beheld a strange spec- tacle. In the midst of the prostrate Persians, with his arms round the neck of his grand vizier, and his round pupils dilated to their very rims, stood the Shah, shouting at the top of his voice in Persian : " 'Come away! Come away!' "The switching on of the light calmed his mad terror as if by ma- gic. Realizing the disappointment and chagrin he had caused Mon- sieur 'Curie, the Shah tried to com- pensate him by the offer of a decor- ation. But the austere man of science," concludes Paoli, "thought fit to decline it." . + SOME DAYS FAVORABLE. Human Organism Subject to Varia- tions in Week's Time.
