We Now Have Radiumitis.

Not since the early eighties, when
the word electric leaped into fame
with the arc light, the telephone and
the trolley car, has a newly discov-
cred term been so popular as radium
and it's derivatives. Already we have
radio cigars, radite soap. radiumite
tooth paste, and so on, just as there
used to he electric soap, electric pol

cleaning material and even electric
silk. The properties Of the mysteri-
Gus radium. OF course, no more enter
into the articles which bear that
name. or names allied TO 1t, than soap
or silk, polish or powder was electri-
fed. Yet the new term, applied even
to old, and well-known articles, APP
peals TO many people who don't both
err to think what it may or may not
mean.

Scientific Rubber Production.

The production of rubber from the
Flcus Elastics in Upper Burma As
sam. and the Netherlands, is being
rapidly increased. The seed OF the
Fious Elastica. when the tree grows
naturally in the forest. terminates al.
most invariably in the forks Of trees
thirty TO forty feet above the surface
OF the ground, and the young trees
grow in consequence for some six 10
ten years as epiphytes, after which the
aerial roots reach the ground. and in.
reach girth OF from four to SIX feet.
II frequently happens that the trees
on which the rubber Seeding first ger.
minated is killed by the more vigorous
growing Ficus Elastica.

TWO STEPS

a sick coffee drinker must take two
steps TO be rid of his troubles and get
