costliest Atoms in World.

There are some people, no doubt
who fancy that $4,000 an ounce is
quite enough to give for anything in
the world. and yet from all appear
ances there is little doubt that this
price will come to be looked upon as
very modest one for radium. The
action of the Austrian government in
restricting the mining Of pitchblende
in Bohemia is already having its ef-
feet and the mighty atoms become
more valuable every day. AS an in
stance of the manner in which the
precious material is regarded. we need
only mention the demand that is made
for the mere loan of a specimen Of
radium. 1t is of 100000 activity, and
has a distinct effect on the electro
scope at a distance of eight feet. For
the few specks of yellowish substance
in the center of case half the size
of a lady's watch over e10O has been
refused, the owners preferring to lend
it out to doctors at e5 time.

OOo,oOO There are 5.T55 companies In
the preliminary schedules, which in
clude only companies having made
voluntary returns showing the amount
of their issued stock and It is esti-
mated that the complete returns win
include nearly 1900 corporations. or
more than 1000 in excess Of the num-
ber taxed in 1908. The tax levied on
these 5.T55 which includes most of the
larger New Jersey corporations,
amounts to s2,4ss,sis. The lists do
not contain railroad and canal COM
panies or any corporations taxed on
a basis other than the amount of the
capital stock.
The Northern Securities Company,
which, next to the United States Steel
Corporation, has the largest issued
capital stock of any company in the
state, is among those taxed. As the
company has been declared an Illegal
combination by the United States su-
preme court. it is doubtful II 1t will
or can legally pay its taxes. On this
point lawyers differ. and the state
board has given the state the benefit
of the doubt.
The seven companies taxed on an
issued capital stock exceeding $780,
100000 are: United States Steel Cor
poration, sSs.5Ss,soO; Northern Sc
curities Company. sss5.4O2,sis: ANAL

RACE SUICIDE IN AUSTRALIA.
Decreasing Birth Rate Causes Much
Worry Among officials.

St. Paul, July 1.-THE steadily de-
creasing birth. rate in Australia is one
Of the problems that confront thinking
people of the Antipodes, and this,
coupled with the further fact that the
government. through its control by Ia
bor organizations, has restricted i'm
migration from India and other sources
Of cheap labor, has made the question
of supply of the labor market one Of
the most serious before the people Of
Australia.
C. Dudley Cooper, Australia COM
missioner to the st. Louis exposition,
talked of the prevailing conditions in
the big island continent, but more es-
pecially as regards his own province,
New South Wales, which contains the
city of Sidney of 100000 people and
is the mother country of the common
wealth.
Mr.. Dudley Cooper, who left recent
ly for Columbus, o., and later goes to
the fair, speaks from broad general
knowledge of affairs in his far-away
country. He said:
Zone of the chief sources Of anxiety
for the future welfare of Australia is
the decreasing birth rate. For some
years it has been going down steadily,
and lately so many deputations Of
statemen, ministers and statisticians
have been calling on the premier that
a royal commission has been named to
inaugurate an investigation.
In my opinion the cause Of the de-
crease is due to changing conditions.
Where people have become accustomed
to wealth and af1luence they do not
readily meet the new conditions, and
the descendants of old families in
Australia, who lived in great plenty
and gave to their children many of
the accomplishments, will not have
children whom they cannot educate
and start in life as well as they them
selves.
"There is a deplorable centraliza-
tion of the population in the larger
cities. and it is almost impossible for
many Industrious, capable men to OBJ
tain employment in the better paid
classes of employment The royal
commission, it is expected will make
a report which will clear the atmos-
phere.
'The troubles of Australia, which
are manifold just now, may largely
be traced to the word apathy. Every
body and everything is apathetic. The
absolute control of the governments S
legislative branches and some of its
executive branches is in the hands of
the so-called labor party. In New
South Wales, where the conditions are
exaggerated in a greater degree than
in the other provinces, the control is
all in the hands of the labor element,
and capital. is pulling up its stakes
and leaving the country as result
of legislation that is entirely unfriend-
ly to It,"
