Abstract
THE letter of Mr. Phillip in NATURE of April 9 led me to examine some tubes containing radium salt which have been in my possession for some years. Some had become very purple owing to the action of the radium, whilst others were not coloured at all. The amount of coloration did not seem to depend upon the activity of the preparation; in fact, the deepest coloration—with one exception—was that due to a salt supposed to contain only one-thousandth of its weight of radium salt.
