.RADIUN MONOPOLY
IN CONNECTICUT
Only Known Deposits of Pitchblende
in America Are in That
State.

WINSTED, Conn, Dec. 2.-Winslow
Goodwin, a manufacturer. discussing the
alleged deposits OF radium i'm Connecti-
cut, says:
The only known deposits of pitch
blende in America are in Haddam. in
the Fladspar quarry, at MiddletOwn,
and at Branchville, In Wilton. As the
demand exceeds the supply Of radium
now being produced in France and
Germany. it's manufacture will surely be
undertaken in America in the near fu-
ture, in which event the manufacturer
will naturally come to Connecticut for
his raw material.
Then VIII our pitchblende deposits
be exploited and developed. Regarding
the recent discovery by Yale scientists
of the radioactive properties of the
water taken from the deep well at New
Milford and from Lake Saltonstall, the
near proximity of these veins of pitch
blende seems sufficient explanation for
this radio-activity.

The Unlucky Ninth.

But the scene which almost broke the
hearts of the Columbian rooters came
in the ninth inning. when the score stood
8 to in Georgetowns favor, and Ken
nelly was on third and Heine on second,
both looking wistfully toward the home
plate. But fate and Captain Bielash
decreed it otherwise. Everett was The
batter on the card, but in a pinch like
this, captain can send substitute
to the bat instead Of the man who is
slated to take up the stick. Everett,
unlike nine hundred and ninety nine
batters out of a thousand. was not at
all jubilant or enthusiastic over the idea
of stalking to the plate under such au-
spicious circumstances. He informed
Bielaski that he thought 1t best for
some one else to WELD the willow at
this crucial moment. but Bruce would
have none of 1t. Everett took up the
stick and tried his hardest to hit the
ball TO unguarded territory. but the best
he could do was to drop the ball in
front of Drill, and it was all over and
Georgetown's rooters yelled as they
never yelled before.
