Berthelot, were not unknown to science, for when Bocquerel discovered aranium, he recognised in that body all the properties of radium, though in degree a thousand times smaller. Now, the radium which M. and Mme. Curie discovered, cots like a magnet which stores up. electric anorgy, ane by, its properties of andulu tion produces mechanical phenomena, Accar. ding to M.

All the now words. which the Chinese love of late years been com pelled to coin to express the numerous objects ir machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here given in extenso.

Both the Ceart and Punti pronunciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English typo correspond in the size of body, thereby affecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those rast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore charae-
