He dared not venture into the complexities of chemistry, or microbes, so long as this child's toy offered complexities that befogged his mind beyond X-rays, and turned the atom into an endless variety of pumps endlessly pumping an endless variety of ethers. He wanted to ask Mme. Curie to invent a motor attachable to her salt of radium, and pump its forces through it, as Faraday did with a magnet.
It is not necessary to give here a history of the discovery of radium, for every one knows the admirable researches of M. and Madame Curie. But subsequent to these first studies, a great number of facts have accumulated for the last six years, among which some people find themselves a little lost. It may, perhaps, not be useless to indicate the essential results actually obtained.
It may interest my readers to know that, at the time of his death, M. Curie, who had been completely convinced of the reality of these phenomena, was busy devising an instrument which would register and direct psychic power liberated from the body of a physical medium when in trance. Dr.
Is it not a fact that the greatest inventors and scientists of our time Marconi, who gave to the world wireless telegraphy, Professor Curie, who discovered radium, Pasteur, who found a cure for rabies, Santos-Dumont, who has almost succeeded in navigating the air, Professor Rontgen who discovered the X-ray are not all these immortals Europeans?
Curie in October, 1839, about eight years after its introduction into the country, that there were eighteen Homoeopathic physicians in the United Kingdom, of whom only three were to be found out of London, and that many of these practised Homoeopathy in secret.
Madame Curie was an indefatigable worker, and in a very short time had taken radiographs of all the cases which we could place at her disposal, and, indeed, we ransacked all the hospitals in Furnes, for when they heard of her arrival, they were only too glad to make use of the opportunity.
Monsieur and Madame Curie have suggested that the energy may be borrowed from the surrounding air in some way, the energy lost by the atom being instantly regained. Pilipo Re,*10* in 1903, advanced the theory that the various parts of the atom might at first have been free particles constituting an extremely tenuous nebula.
This is the principle of symmetry, more or less conscious applications of which can, no doubt, be found in various works and even in the conceptions of Copernican astronomers, but which was generalized and clearly enunciated for the first time by the late M. Curie.
The bear-man, as she called him, gloomed upon her with a scowl. "You'd better leave such things alone!" he said, angrily "Women have no business with science." "No, of course not!" she agreed "Not in men's opinion. That's why they never mention Madame Curie without the poor Monsieur! SHE found radium and he didn't, but 'he' is always first mentioned." He gave an impatient gesture.
Already, at that time, the learned world was deeply interested in the labours of Professor Stangerson and his daughter. These labours the first that were attempted in radiography served to open the way for Monsieur and Madame Curie to the discovery of radium.
