When they got near Saingdi Pagoda they saw a large crowd on the height of the Pagoda and many on trees, probably on account of the big scare created by the tiger having mauled one of their fellow-villagers named Mg So, who was left in his hut at the village in an uncon

RADIUM MARVELS. -
MORE WONDERFUL' STORIES FROM THE SCIENTIST'S STUDY.
In the course of a lecture on the "Corpus- A Fine Collection of OLD and RARE cular Theory of Matter" at the Royal Institution MACAU STAMPS.
Prof. J. J. Thompson remarked that the energy associated with radium was exceedingly large, and it was often expressed in a graphic manner. A FINCH OF RADIUM. It was said, for example, that there was as much energy in a pinch of radium as would carry an Atlantic finer across the Atlantic at full speed. That was true, but radium gave off this great energy at so slow a rate that, by his cal. culation, 10 tons of it would be required to

He believed the atoms of several substances possessed large stores of internal energy, but whether we should be able to get it out at an appreciable rate was another question. Last year Prof. Rumstead, of Yale, carried through Some interesting experiments to ascertain if it was possible to get even a tile trickle of energy ont of various substances. On the most favour- able interpretation, the amount of energy obtained was equivalent to the work done by a Ay going up a window-panc.
LIFE OF A RADIUM ATOM.
It was known, he said, that in the course of an hour one gramme of radium would give out sufficient heat to raise a gramme of water from freezing point to boiling point. The investi- gations of Dr. Rutherford and others had shown that on the average a radium atom lived for more than a thousand years, when the atom became unstable, that its energy was liberated. This raised the interesting question of how this instability was brought about.
A thousand years was a long time, even by our scale of reckoning, where we took the rotation of the earth as, the unit of time. An inhabitant of an atom of radium would reckon on quite a different scale of time. His unit would be the period of rota-

THE ATOM'S "DEATH DUTY."
The professor discussed various scientific theories of this collapse, and expressed his own opinion that it was due to the loss of equilibrium in the systems which were rotating in the atom, in the same way as a top fell when the speed of its rotation was not sufficient to preserve equilibrium. The energy of radium, he re- peated, displayed itself only at "the death bed 1409 of the radium atom."

During its lifetime, radium was a perfectly conventional, elenient, so far as we knew; it was only when it was ceasing to be radium that it became possessed of its peculiar pro- perties and gave energy. The only tax paid by the radium atom was the death duty,' (Laugh- ier.)
