The calends were always the first day of the month, the nones came on the fifth or seventh, and the ides the thirteenth or fifteenth. Although the term strictly speaking refers to only one day, it is something loosely used of the seven days preceding. The phrase "Beware the Ides of March" is used as a warning of impending and certain danger. The allusion was • the warning received by Julius Caesar before his assassination in 44 B. C. Radium, which is used today for so many different purposes, include ing treatment for certain diseases, is not affected in any way by anything that is done to it or not done to it. Scientists have found that it loses weight at the rate of one part in 2,280 each year. Whether or not it is used, makes no difference. Nothing is known that will speed up or slow down this steady loss of weight. Radium was discovered by Professor and Madam Pierre Curie and G. Bern oat, of Paris, in 1898, and is valued at approximately $75,000 a gram, or over $2,000,000 an ounc^. (Public Ledger--WNI.T Scrvim.)
