Sensitive Photograph Plates
Will Yield the Secret.

Washington, April 25.-The United States
Geological Survey is collecting informa-
ton concerning the occurrence of radio
active minerals in the United States and
would be pleased To have the cooperation
Of the public in this investigation. Ra-
dio?-activity has been observed in many
minerals and also in many other sub
stances. such as sIags, tailings from con-
centrators. shines, chemical wastes. water
from mineral springs. deep-well waters,
and petroleums. and it is possible that
the number of known radioactive min
erals may be greatly increased. Anyone
who has found such minerals or has OBJ
served radio-activity in any other sub
stances is urged tn give the Survey full
details regarding them and the localities
from which they were obtained. All in
foramtion pertaining to the subject will
be welcome. and any advice which the
Survey may be able to give in return will
be cheerfuuy furnished
For the guidance of those who believe
that they possess specimens of minerals
containing radioactive elements it may
be said that the simplest means OF de-
tecting radio-activity in a suspected sub
stance is the use of a Photographic plate
the more sensitive the better. The plate
should not be removed from its enclosing
black paper. The specimen to be tested
should be laid upon this black paper in a
dark room. and left there from two 10
fifteen hours. a small metal object having
first been placed between the speciment
and the black paper on the plate. In
stead OF the metal object. few small
nails may he arranged TO form the initial
of the owner and left ON the paper-cov-
cred plate below the specimen. After
thus remaining in the dark room the plate
should be developed in the usual man
ner. II the specimen tested has radio

RULED STEADY DURING DAY

New York, November 5.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of three points. to an advance of one point, or rather better than due on the cables. The weather map showed slight rains in one or two sections but nothing to sug- gest damage to the crop remaining in the fields or to retard the movement. Local sentiment seemed bearish on the average but there was considerable cov- ering in preparation for Sunday and the holiday on Tuesday and following the call the market ruled steady with prices at about last nights level. Business was almost entirely local and very quiet
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 4s,9s4 bales against e2,s9s last week. and 65,eS1 last year.
 For the week 400,00 bales against 4s6,- s2o last week, and 4s1,O last year To- days receipts at New orlans, 1S,5so bales, against 12,6OS last year, and at Houston 13.541. against 16s45 last year.

Considering the active business in Man chester and among English spinners. the aparent readiness of the Liverpool market to exceed moderate declines in the cis- Atlantic exchanges Is surprising Adyices indicated that such support as was ten dered came from Egyptian houses Op- tions lost five points and spots eight as a net result of the short sessions trading
 Trading on our exchange wa excep- tionally light with very little outside business. The opening figures showed practically no change from yesterday 8 close and subsequent fluctuations were too narrow to admit of even scalpng operations Although the crop movement exceeds last years by more than one million bales, the visible supply in crease of American cotton Is about half the amount This evidences more than a will lingness of spinners to buy at the prices which have ruled. but it also suggests that in consideration of their liberal talk ings a position has been reached enabling them to abstain from heavy buying should values be advanced beyond reasonable limits.
 From this that higher values must be reached by easy stages and scalping mar kets are most likely to ensue with a generally advancing tendency.
