Abstract

IT is announced that the committee of the Parisian Press Association has decided upon the award of the prize of 100,000 francs placed at its disposal by M. Osiris. The committee has resolved to divide this sum between the two inventions which have in recent times most contributed to the honour of French science. The sum of 60,000 francs has been awarded to Mme. Curie for the continuation of her researches into radium, and 40,000 francs to M. Branly for his labours in connection with wireless telegraphy.
