How Professor Got Radium
An eastern college professor lectures on radium and reveals how he obtained the radium used in years of experiments. He recalls a French scientist who shared a tiny amount of radium, stored dust from the paper, then left. The professor brags that many labs would pay for such a coating, and asks where he acquired his radium.

Problems in Egg Culture at Cambridge School of Agriculture
The Cambridge School of Agriculture works to breed a red eyed hen that lays 250 two ounce red eggs annually, comparing this effort to Mendelian research in wheat. It explores heredity and diet as factors in egg color, aiming for practical commercial results amid variable hen behavior. Sugar cane in Louisiana began with Jesuits in 1751 and, after early failures, Don Antonio Mendez and Etienne de Bore advanced the industry, reaching about 20 million pounds of sugar by 1820.
