The melancholy death of Pierre Curie is not the least grave in its magnitude and con sequences, amongst the other events of that fateful nad unhappy week. It leaves behind it a gloom, a personal gloom, for a loss which all
who have not hearts of stone must feel and mourn. Great as his achievements were, the promise of still greater worke remained, whilst the fascination of his great personality, and its sudden and tragic disappearance from the scene of life, reminds us, indeed, once more of "what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue."
THE WORKSHOP.
It is but two years ago since I visited the laboratory where the greatest discovery of our titue was evolved. I found Mme. Sklodowska Curie at work. The professor was if i remem ber rightly, lecturing at the Sorbonne or else- where M.Henri Becquerel was amongst the
visitors. I had the privilege of witnessing some interesting experiments which she was engaged in at the time. They were chiefly on the phosphorescence produced by the emant tion from radium. But, unfortunately, the de- monstration was cut short by an accident to a water pipe, which early flooded the whole place; and we were obliged to retire to tea in some other portion of the building. Time did not permit me to return after our repakt,

YOU, THEIR ASSASSIN!” Father Gapen escaped from the hospital, and travelled Europe, visiting London in his journeyings.
From Paris the priest again wrote to the Tsar:
Full of simple faith in you, as the father of your people, I marched towards you peace fully, accompanied by the children of your people, as you must know as you do know, The innocent blood of working men, of their wives and their children, of lender age, will henceforth and lar ever separate you, their as sassin, and the Russian people. Never will the moral tie between you and the people he renewed...... Bonibs, dynamite, col- lective and individual terrorist, and popular insurrection await all the assassins of the peo ple which has been despoiled of its rights tell you this, and so it shall be. Waves of kload, such as perhaps have nowhere else been seen, will be poured out on account of you.
Eventually Father Gapon returned to Russia, Stranger tales of his gambling at Monte Carlo were associated with the name. He became the man of mystery.

SOMETHING, GREATER VET,
It was not until he had started the world with, perhaps, the greatest discovery of all time that M. Curie received even scanly recogni tion. And some of these he refused, "pat proudly, but nobly, as, for instance, the Legion of Honour, on the ground that some others who deserved it had not yet been offered it.. Chief amongst them was his own father. In these respects he reminds us somewhat of Herbert Spencer in our own country.
He looked, and doubtless was, extremely absent-minded and
and it is not unlikely that the unfortunate accident might have been avoided or mitigated but for it. As a contemporary recalls, a similar end befelt the Breton poet Quellein, who was crushed to death by an automobile. These incidents are amongst the unlikely, which do happen now and then. One of the finest intellects of our time has been crushed by an iron wheel as by the iron hand of destiny.

Mme Skłodowska, who was the partner of his life, in his later discoveries has done much, if bol most, to accomplish that great work, Our deepest sympathies are with her in her great bereavement. For we feel that to her, Dot less than to the world, the loss is more nearly irreparable.
It is rumoured that M. Curie had just dis- covered a new substance still more remarkable than radiom. And it is possible that the long- sought for impurity, which, as is supposed by some authorities, renders all master radioactive, was about to be isolated. Is it to be wondered at if, even in crossing so crowded a thorough. fare as that in which he met his doom, his thoughts should have been in the clouds; as, alas! indeed, too arimly, like the clouds, they have vanished, and he with them, to prove the futility of all our aims?—J.
