The Worlds Supply of Radium.
From Harper's Weekly.

FROM harper 5 W eekly-
Some time ago 1t was suggested that in
attempting to explain the temperature Of
the interior of the earth the various ra-
dioactive constituents should be taken into
account. Working on this idea, Professor
C. Liebenow has recently made an inter-
esting calculation in which he shows that
all the heat emitted by the earth may be
explained by the presence of radioactive
matter in It's interior. He first computed
the amount of heat given off in each sec
ond by the earth, which he found to be
10 900 900 100000 gram-calortes, a gram-ca-
lorie being the quantity required to raise
the temperature of one gram of water one
degree centigrade. Then taking the results
already computed by Pashchen, that to
generate one gram-calorie per second six
teen grams Of radium would be required,
it was found that the earth must contain
only about 100000. Geo, 100000 grams or
somewhat more than 200, 600 900 tons of ra-
dunn, otherwise its temperature would be
constantly increasing.
Now, If this quantity of radium were to
be distributed uniformly through the earth,
each cubic meter would only contain
1-5000th of a milligram of radium, but since
certain muds found around hot mineral
springs contain a thousand times as much
radium as this, it is quite evident that the
of radium Is not uniform, and
must be confined rather to the strata OF the
earth nearest its surface.

A Year of CONGREGATIONS.
From Insurance Engineering.

From Insurance Engineering.
The year 1904 was a conflagration year,
breaking all previous records for property
destroyed by fire, with an aggregate loss of
approximately S250,000,000. In round num-
bers this Is an increase of $115 ,0O0, 900 over
the year 1903. 1t is true that this great in
crease was caused by series of confiagra-
lions in different sections of the United
States and Canada, but that fact may be
neglected when it is remembered that the
conditions that were responsible for them
exist quite generally in the more important
cities.
Foremost among the causes contributing
to the stupendous yearly fire waste is the
rapid growth of the country The esti-
mated cost of new buildings for which per-
mits were granted in 1904 by the bureau of
buildings in the borough of Manhattan.
Greater New York, was $50. 267, 7SO: In the
same period permits were granted to make
alterations estimated to cost $500, 4O5 In
the borough of Brooklyn the estimated
cost of new buildings for which permits
were granted amounted to about SAT 600 900.
Chicago's record for 1904 for new buildings
Is reported as $45, 100, $40. More than S. GOO
600 was invested in new buildings in Mil
waukee in 1904. A notable case among the
smaller cities Is Newark, N j., having a
population of 315.00O, where new buildings

Making Macaroni.
From the Chicago News.


Macaroni, vermicelli. stellette and other
paste foods originally made In Italy are
manufactured from kinds Of wheat which
contain goodly per cent of gluten. The
flour obtained from these kinds of wheat
when mixed with water, forms a peculiar
dough. In America the mixing is done by
modern machinery. and this operation is
followed by that of mechanical kneading.
which results in producing firm, hard
paste. The flour is dumped into the mixing
watts by the sackful and hot water bv the
bucketful is added. The stirring Is done
by means of revolving machinery in these
watts. Then the dough is rolled upon a fat
surface by large stone or iron weight
which. Ike the mixing machinery, revoIves.
The kneading operation requires about a
quarter hours time. Experienced Italians
are In many factories, in charge Of all the
processes.
This firm. hard paste from the kneader is
removed to double-cylinder presses in
which it is forced downward through conner
dies. On the size of these dies depend the
size and shape of the finished product
Vermicelli comes from the press in mere
strings shreds. Sometimes the strirx, of
macaroni are five or six feet long Yer
micellf may be but six or eight inches in
length. After coming from the presses the
strips are placed on racks and then bur
ried away to the drying rooms. The short
fancy shapes are dried and cured upon
trays. Mechanical fans assist in all drv
ing operations. Before curing the strins
of macaroni are sometimes placed beneath
blankets to moisten them This keeps them
from subsequently cracking in the curing
room There is steady increase in the
demand for macaroni in the United States.
This increase does not come wholly from
among the foreigners. but from Americans
as well, who are fast learning to like a
rood which has been universal among Ital-
ions for centuries. There are numerous
factories in the United States using in the
neighborhood of fifty barrels of -four a
day. in the manufacture of paste food
products.
