The Academy of Sciences learns that Madame Curie, in co-operation with Monsieur De Bierne, has isolated a small quantity of polonium which far exceeds radium in radio-active power, .and is five ' thousand-fold rarer. It rapidly disintegrates, and it is stated that among products, of its disintegration is helium, and that this may possibly lead to the identity of the latter being shortly established, and that science will then possess experimental proof of the transformation of a body hitherto believed elementary'.
