Radiurn.,

EVERYBODY seems to be talking about
radium nowadays. The editor of this
paper has been looking up the matte,
lately and he finds, in the first place,
that it is entirely out of the question
to furnish each reader with a sample
Of radium, for the simple reason that
it costs over $4,000 drop and pound
at So. 100000 would not 60 very far.
1t is said that it took the discoverer
of radium three years to produce the
first pure grain and that she (for the
discoverer is a woman) is only enabled
to continue her experiments through
the means of public endowment.
radium is a grayish- white substance,
resembling coarse grained salt. One
grain is produced from half ton of
pitch blende. 1t possess the power to
emit spontaneously and continuously
light, heat and power. Radium ap-
pears to be an elemental force in nature
like air and water, and is only pro-
duced by long, expensive chemical pro-
cesses. For the reason at it is not at
present available for COMMERCIAL pur-
poses. 1t has been used in the practice
Of medicine, especially in cures for
cancer.
If radium should ever ,,be discovered
in sufficient quantities to render its
production less costly, it may become,
like electricity, great commercial
factor.

The old man mads no reply and an
interval of silence followed. She felt
that his eyes were upon her, not un-
kindly, but searching, friendly and
magnetic. Almost unconsciously she
addressed him:
Have you received any word or
heard anything from John, Mr.. Burt?"
He paused for moment as il to
weigh his words.

deliberately. He is alive and we'll"

to spend the summer in bingham, and

in her eyes added emphasis TO her
declaration.
Peter Burt abruptly changed the
subject, nor did he return to it. For
nearly three hours they talked on
various topics, and never once did
Peter Burt lead the conversation in a
direction not entertaining to his fair
young visitor. Not until the great rock
to the west of the house threw its
long shadow over them Gid Jessie look
at her watch. With an exclamation of
surprise She arose to go.
You have made this afternoon a
very happy one for me. my child" he

Jessie remained behind. Back

fancy wandered to the summer day

the side of the bridge.
