THE PREPARATION OF RADIUM
From the New York sun.

The new metals, polonium, radium and actin
ium, are likely to he heard Of often in the mex,
few years on account Of their marvellous powers
Of radiating electrified particles. As matters
stand at present they appear to have infinite
power in this respect, radiating energy cease
lcsSly without loss, These metals are contained
in the ores Of uranium, vanddum and thorium,
in pitchblende and in chacolyte, earnitite and
antunite. NJ. and Nine. Curie have separated
these metals by complex and costly processes
that need not be here described Less than
two grains of radium result from every ton OF
mineral. The radiating power of this metal is
onet milionth of a watt and the displacc-
ment Of the metal is only one mlligram in a
billion years When the dust of this metal is
present in the laboratory all the apparatus pres
ent is electrified rendered radioactive, in spite
OF ordinary insulation.

proposition which, as outlined
in recent consular report. certainly
presents points Of attractiveness. He
wants to establish in Montreal a plant
for the manufacture of artificial stone
according to formula of which he is
the discovcter and proprietor. This is
how the substance is made:
Quartzose sand is first dried by being
heated; it is then thoroughly mixed
with hydraulic lime in the proportion OF
about II per cent. of the latter to SIS
per cent. of the fOrmer. This mixture
still in dry condition, is packed into
very strong molds of any desired shape,
the filled molds being subsequently
built up in steel frame or box The
latter is conveyed by tramway to an
immense steel cylinder inside of which
1t is placed the cylinder now being
closed and the door strongly bolted.
Water near the boiling point is then
admitted until the cylinder is full, and
an indicated pressure of from 60 to 20
pounds maintained. The water is kept
in highly heated condition by steam
coils running along the lenth of the
cylinder inside.
On the admission of the boiling
water, the hydraulic lime in the molds
| commences to slake, and the pressure
maintained assists in forcing the water
| into the sand and lime mixture so as to
| bring about complete shaking through
out the mass. The mixture being con-
| fined in strong mords, it follows that
! the expansion of the material conse-
! quent on shaking is not allowed free
! play, so that immense pressure is set
up within the material itself, which
! tends to render it much more compact
than might otherwise be the case. 1t is
/ important that as little air as possible
should be admitted into the cylinder
during the shaking; this is why the
water is admitted at boiling point and
the temperature kept up by steam coils
! instead of live steam being injected
| direct into the water.
When the lime is thoroughly slaked,
the pressure and temperature are grad
ually lessened and the material is al
lowed to cool slowly. When the cylin-
der is opened the mixture is found TO
be converted into solid stone. The lat
ter is in wet condition and becomes
harder in the course of twenty-four
hours. The whole operation, from the
packing of the cylinder to the with
drawal of the molds, occupies about
fifty hours. The manufactured stone
and bricks may be nodded into any
form and are of handsome gray color
Mr.. owen says that a large demand
exists for this artificial stone in Lon
don and in other large cities. 1t can
he asserts, be manufactured much more
cheaply than natural stone can be fur
nished from the quarry.

plans which Pierpont
Morgan had in mind
when he recently purchased the Led
yard line of steamers, yet the general
reasons for that purchase are familiar
and significant. Nh Morgan himself
mentions them when he says that the
British and the Germans, who now
control our ocean traffic. might take
advantage of our helplessness on the
ocean and divert the great industrial
revolution that is now going on. The
failure of the shipping bill in congress
last winter has left us at their mercy.
and as all the Germans and most of
the British steamers are under control
Of their governments, they might be
Withdrawn at any moment and our
commerce would be instantly paralyz-
ed.
This,sss w. f. Curtis points out in
one Of his informing letters to the
Chicago Record Herald, is the serious
point Of the trade problem now con-
fronting the American people. We are
the only great producing nation that
ever existed without its own means
of transportation. We supply the
markets of the world with bread and
butter and beef, and our manufactured
merchapdise is finding its way into
every Community, but the ships that
carry them are controlled by our
commeRial competitors, whose rival.
ry is growing more hostile every year
This phenomenon is not realized by
the people In fact, IL has not beer
fully brought TO their attention. We
have heard and read again and again
OF the pagnitude of our exports and
their r&pd increase, but We do not
seem to appreciate the peril by which
our trade is surrounded, and unless We
build and sail our own ship we mus
always~be dependent upon our rivals
to carry our produce to the people whC
buy 1t.
Some figures that Mr.. Curtis give!
emphasize his meaning. In 1900 tn,
United States went TO the head of thu
list OF commercial nations, our ex
ports SURPRISING those of England b,
$35, 100000 and those of Germany by
$403, ,000,0 900. No other country ap
preached us by 100000, ,O0O The fg
ures are stupenduous. Since 1875 W,
have gained 81 900 o0O,o 900 in our ex
ports, while England has gained onl,
$3.50 100000 and Germany s44O. 900 900

You will notice that Germany is
gradually gaining on England but the
trade of no nation in the history of
the world has ever developed so rapid
ly or reached such volume as that
of the United States, and at the same
time the credit Of no nation has ever.
been SO high. The bonds of no gov
ernment ever commanded such n
premium in the stock market. No
government ever borrowed money at
so low rate of interest. and the
confidence in the nation is extended
to the people by the money lenders OF
the world. These extraordinary con-
dtons have caused change in the
worlds trade, "A rcadjustment of the
equilibrium. as political economists
say, which, like the center of popula-
tion in our own country, is gradually
moving westward, and sooner or later
will be transferred from London to
New York.
These commercial revolutions have
usually followed wars France was
the center OF commerce and wealth
until the war with Germany, in which
she was defeated, and had to pay an
indemnity of 81 900 00O 900, every penny
of which came from the savings of her
peasants. Since then she has been
mercial independence and has al
lowed her wealth to be diverted from
the restoration and development Of her
own industries to those of Russia.
Those nations have amalGamated
financially as well as politically.
France has loaned Russia more than
81 0O0, 900 within the last ten years,
and the most of it has been expended
TO vitalize northern Asia The French
men loaned the Russian government
$400, 100000 to build the Siberian rail
way and make that vast area of the
cars domnions accessible. Mills and
workshops are sprinGing up all over
| Russia. Poland is becoming manu-
featuring province. The railway sys-
| TEN is extending eastward, just as ours
| has been extending westward since
the Civil war, and has opened to
settlement vast agricultural regions
which will produce wheat and cattle
like the prairies of our West and meet
them in our own markets. Russia now
| controls ManChuria and China, and
will soon extend the area of her in
| fluence as far south as the Yang-Tze
river, including the Province of shan
| ST, which is said to have the richest
| iron and coal deposits in the world.
These are facts worth the attention
of the American people, who should
realize their significance and see the
Importance of devising measures to
meet them. With the approaching
! rivalry of Russia in the food markets
of the world and the existing COMPETE
tion of Germany and England in manu-
| factured merchandise, ii is more than
| dangerous to let our transportation
