Abstract
CONCERNING the recently discovered heat emission from radium, it is perhaps worth noting that it appears to be connected with, and is probably an immediate consequence of, the remarkable observation by Rutherford that radium emits massive positively-charged particles, which are probably atoms, with a velocity comparable to one-tenth of the speed of light (see Phil. Mag., February, 1893).
