HOMEN'S GIFTS FOR MISSIONS.
The 72-hours' effort of the Anglo-- Catholic Congress to raise £50,000 For foreign missions caused remark- able scenes at the Albert Hall, ~ W., where the congress is meeting, ...
Women removed their jewels and flung them into the haversacks and hats held our by the scores of stew- ards collecting From the crowded gathering. Cheques "of £1,000, £800, and £500 were hastily writ- ten with borrowed pens, and wrist- watches of gold and silver and pen- dants worth many hundreds of pounds found their way into the hats.
One woman ripped off the buckles of her shoes, "another the fearl buttons of her blouse, and a third her tiny gold and diamond earrings. A man with a frayed collar and worn boots gave his gold cuff-links, with the remark,
That is all I have."
At the morning sitting a collector held in one hand a cheque for £500 and in the other Id., both gifts
After the morning scenes many women went home and returned with valuables smelling strongly of cam- phor. One elderly woman came with a silver spoon, wom, but of some small value; while another brought a Queen Anne silver milk jug. Among the gilts fourd later in one of the haversacks was a diamond and emerald ring with a message, "From a widow; my husband's dearest possession.”
The total was 20,166.

MAKING DEAD HEARTS BEAT.
NEW WONDER OF RADIUM.
Thirty years ago a wise physician walked the wards of a London hospital and devoted hours which others spent in bed to finding out why tadpoles and such things quickly die in pure dis- tilled water and live in ordinary tap- water. Some people thought Sidney Ringer wasted his time over discover- ing that it was the traces of mineral salts in the tap-water which made all the difference.
It was shown by Ringer that the heart cut out from a frog could be kept alive and vigorously beating for several days so long as it was wasted with a gentle stream of water contain-

salt), together with a mace of potas sium chloride and calcium chloride in just the right amount. Since then the heart taken from a child, dead of pneu- | monia, has been revived and made ro beat again.
Recently fresh interest has been given to Ringer's work, for a Dutch physiologist camed Zwaardemaker has proved that the place of the potassium sak in Ringer's solution can be taken by radium or any other radio-active element suitably graded in strength. It need not be added to the watery solution of the other two salts; it suf- fices to bang up an excessively minute quantity of the radium.salt near the excised frog's heart. The heart, ir- rigated with the solution of the other two sales, bears when the radium is brought near it, stops beating when the radium is taken away.
The atoms of radio-active elements have been compared to volcanoes o' infinite smeless shooting out stones and ashes. The stones are alpha rays particles carrying a positive electric charge. the ashes beta rays-parti- | cles carrying a negative electric charge. Bombardment with either | kind of rays keeps the heart beating. but the two together may have no effect, being of opposite electric
| charge.
Zwaardemaker's discovery brings to fruition that of Ringer," and opens up for biologists and physicians dew ideas, and fields of research.
