Now, the special interest of radium is in the intensity of its rays which is several
million times greater than the uranium rays. And the effects of the rays make the
radium so important. If we take a practical point of view, then the most important
property of the rays is the production of physiological effects on the cells of the
human organism. These effects may be used for the cure of several diseases. Good
results have been obtained in many cases. What is considered particularly important
is the treatment of cancer.
But we must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that
it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And
this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of
the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and
then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like
the radium a benefit for humanity.

Which two passages in this excerpt from the death of ivan illych does leo tolstoy use to suggest that ivan ilych feels like his life is slipping away from him? "what's the use? it makes no difference," he said to himself, staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness. "death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
