The existence of this Immense bodv of radium heie. In the center of the cave, explained, to the satisfaction of Lelghton. much of the strange phenomena they bad seen Here, obviously, was the source of the soft.' diffused light that had puizled them ever since they passed taiougli Ihe Condor tiate: and It was to this center of eneigy that they must attribute the Increase In buosancy and physical well-being experienced M -. .: . .. .........,.l 1.,,.. title, utilttAi. the runner mey inriicc....

Slore oier Lelghton firmly lbelleved that the nunreinacy of radium as the llfe-glver In this cave Involved the existence, as they would discover, of other phenomena having still more subtle, even pschlo, qualities. Narva grunted slgnlncantly at this observation, and ijna confirmed the truth of It by relating how toe floor of the court where they ere stand Ing had. only a short time before, reflected a series of pictures of events taking p'ace In the outside cave, by means of which they had been able to follow Lelghton's approach to the palace and watched the collision ot hli party with that of Ilaoul, It was through this peculiar photographlo power of radium, MEMBER MlS HELEN I'l.ElSIIEK it'tivc inemltcr tif EmtTgciicy Aid. is busily Migitcil the vvliu in tin vu nous war ac tivities of tliis organiza tion.
