Her apartment was not large, but
it was furnished exactly as she had
always dreamed her own home should
be.
Today, she sat in the big cloth
covered chair beside a log fire in her

on her lap. She had found a line
that had struck home, “Poetry must
be lived before it can be either writ-

Johnson,
“We have discovered works |

of art from that far distant period, |
which show a Greek influence. The |
city evidently was brought under Ro- |
man domination shout the Third cen- |
tury B. C. and from then on until the |
Tenth century It suffered many

Richest Radium Field
Vienna.—The richest radium field in
Kurope has been discovered at Neu-
baus, near Linz, In upper Austria, by
a water diviner, Herr Franz Niegl.
A peasant, Franz Maler, about ts
a well, summoned Herr Niegl, who,
using an old silver watch on a silver
n as a pendulum, obtained such
violent reactions that he guaranteed
that an abundance of water would be
found nine feet down. When borings
were made twice this depth without
any sign of water, the puzzied diviner
sent sawples of the earth to the gov-
ernment research Institute in Vienna.

earth has the highest radium content
yet discovered In Europe. It Is stated
that 11.000 tons would yield a kilo:
gram of pure radium. The field Is |
Yuried only nine feet down, has a
depth of from four to ght, feet, and
