A MARTYR TO SCIENCE. Another distinguished name was added to the long list of martyrs to science when Henry T. Koenig, a Denver scientist, died recently as a result of research work with radium. He was the last survivor of 20 scientists scien-tists who aided Mme. Curie, co-discoverer of radium, in her early experiments ex-periments with that powerful and mysterious mineral. Like those other heroes of the laboratory, Koenig continued to work as long as possible, although he knew he was doomed by a malignant infection which caused cancer of the lip, from which he finally died. But the discoveries made by him and his brave companions have made possible relief from suffering for thousands now laving, and will benefit millions yet unborn. Koenig's improved method of extracting ex-tracting radium at less cost from the ores in which it is found in infinitesimal infinitesi-mal quantities is recognized as one of the greatest contributions of the present century to medical science. Truly, as Milton says, "peace hath her victories no less renowned than war," but the world still showers greater honors on heroes of war than on heroes of peace. Perhaps when man becomes more civilized those who save life may be esteemed at least equally with those who destroy des-troy it.
