the dwarfs of New Guinea end theLaIl-
lanclers.
The tallest race in Europe is to be

only egnalled by the tall Polynesian
and American races.
Among the shortest men •are the
South Italians, Sicilians and Sardin-
ians, where the usual height is ats lew
as 5 feet 2 inches or 5 feet 3 inches.
The lowest average in England Is
tound in the southwestern parts and
in Wales, ranging from 5 feet 6 inches
to 5 teeth71.A inches. In Northumber-
land it rises to 5 feet 8 iaches, and
among the burly Yorkshiremen it even

Germane, Danes and Scandinavians,

are generally smaller, measuring about
5. feet 5 inches and the Spaniards an
inch shorter.
Stature depends a good deal on cli-

Kalahari desert, the tall Polynesians
on the Pacifis Islands and enjoy all the
advantages nature can bestow. The
Hottentots, • of the same race as the
Bushmen, but inbabiting more fertile

On higher ground the people are
usually shorter, so that the Swiss and
Central Europeans • generally are
stocky rather than tall. Sometimes
stature varies •with the class of men.
Early emigrants to America, before
things were made easy by the steam-
ship companies, were always taller
than the races from which they had
sprung. They were picked men, full of
physical vigor and courage Stature
varies also according to profession.

Wealth.
The loveliest wealth we have to spend
Is gold of borrowed fancy—more
Than all the shining value of
The profits of our garnered store.
The wealth of dreams—it buys so
much
The gold of commerce cannot buy,
Light fancy, with its fairy touch,
The blue sea and the twilight sky,
An hour of sure release from things
That bend and burden heart and mind,
The spirit of delight that sings
When something in the heart grows
kiad.
A thousand treasures come with
thought,
And gems develop from the dust,
And things that gold hall never
bought—
True love, and faith, and trust!
The bank of beauty never breaks,
The wealth of fancy never fails,
And. with the coin that laughter makes
Alone we buy the perfumed vales
The whispering trees, the mighty
hour
When beauty in her dells of dream
Bursts into perfect flower.

the world has guaranteed to produce
three and a half ounces of radluin
every year far the next twenty years,
If it can do so, the firm will, at the
end or that time, bave netted $210,000,-

worrying doctors and scientists.
Many of the ores fi•om which radium
Is extracted by long and costly prb-
Ceases are in sonie cases proving
Valueless. It takes scores of tous of
ere to yield a grame of radium (there
are tleirty-two gramme to ihe ounce
troy) and. so the amount et vain toll
may be imagined.
At present the price of radium is 110
less than $2,500,000 an ounce; this
figure will rise much higher if -dater

The prospect of a famine in radiun
Is of the gravest importance to suf-
fering bumantity. Weil its aid (loot=
are able 'to effect miraculous cures,
particularly in cases of external
growths, Tumors and ulcers can be
cleared away by the use of radium. A
tumor, in size equal to a plum, on the
Oelid of a girl; was removed by
radium, while there is always hope tor
cancer victims. In eases of rheumatio
gout, neurasthenia, and affections of
the joints, too, some wonderful cures,
ouly made 'possible by radium, have
been brought about.
Wonderful, indeed, were the benefits
bestowed upon mankind by that quiet
little woman, Mine. Curie, who, in a
Paris laboratory, carried mit those
epoch -making -is experiments with pitch-
blende which resulted in the discovery,
et radium. .T.Ip to the time of Mme.
Curie's discovery. pitchblende, a vol-
vety-black mineral often found in the
vicinity of mines, was regarded as
valueless.
Refuse Worth Its Weight in Gold.
Pieces of pitchblende are oftea
found on waste ground in industrial
areas.
Uranium, a metal of the color of
nickel, was extracted from pits 1-
blende,' but the residue was tlif i
away as valueless. A mining ciiiiipany
In Cornwall, from which a large
o! the the world's supply of pitchblende '
came, actually paid 84 cents per ton to
have more than 100 tons of
lit
carted away and duniped ox aste
beeps on Stepney building land':.., lien
Mme. Curie's discovery became known,
$25,000 would have been given to re-
cover that waste pitchblende.
Far twenty-five years a well-knowe
firm of analytical chemists threw away
the by-products of pitebblende. Hun-
dreds of tons were carted away and
used for levelling and laying out roads
and,for filling in the foundations of
houses.
To -day•
houses and cottages are
built on beds of potential radium
worth millions of dollars and urgently
needed for the relief of sufferers. Un-
der London alone there is nearly four
million dollars' worth of radium.
British scientists are endeavoring lo.
overcome the difficulties arising from
the scarcity of the supply by an in-
genious method. Jt was discovered
some years ago that radium could be
bottled.. A solution of radium is made,.
which gives off the radium emanatione
necessary for combating disease.
The only difference is that, wherea.s
the efficacy of the radium solution.. ea -
closed in phials, only lasts for a wee..,
radium itself is indestructible.
The atoms of radio -active elements
have been compared to minute vol
canoes giving off stones and ashes, 'Wet
The, stones are really particles carry-
ing a positive electric charge, and the
ashes particles carrying a negative
electric charge. Bombardment with
either will accoimplish the miracle of
making a dead heart beat.
Radium, the miracle mineral, is un-
doubtedly the greatest selertific dis-
covery of the age.
