Radioactive substitute and telegraph pole preservatives
A fragmentary report describes a rival to radium prepared as an amorphous white powder with uranium molybdate chemistry, reportedly matching radiative effects of radium but cheaper.

A quip about Helen Keller and a Shakespearean scholar ends the snippet with a pun about Shakespeare’s baptism and death.
