Lake worlds, animals and plants, some elements at least, as we have lately come to know, are born, live and die. We know little of their life-periods, but A.-T. Cameron points out that the activity of radium emanation fails to oze half in four days, to one-sighth in eights days, and so on, but will not completely disappese in a_indlaite time. The half-life period of a -radio-active substance, or period when half & given quantity disappears, can be determined the time varying from four seconds in the case of actiniam emanation to millions of years in the osse of uranium. Bir William Ramsay states that infinity in this connection may mean simply a longer time than we can measure, and that it is very probable that the atoms of radium and other elementa may have a deficile and mesurable life-period. Experiments indicate that the radium ate has a very regular decay, bring little influenced by external conditions. In a given munad coma atoms are being born, some may be thousands of years old and some may be dying, and from the rate of disappearance we are justified in stuming an average life of a. radio-active atom, and that average will probably be the actual life of an atom of that element.
