Remove BirthmarkS.

Paris, Oct. 10. Two prominent
french physicians, Drs. Wickham
and Degrais, have caused a sensation
at the Academy Of Medicine by a re-
port that they had succeeded in many
eases in removing the birthmarks
known as port wine stains with
radium. The new method has proved
equally successful in the cases Of
adults and children.
The marks are effaced by the SIM
pie application Of plain surface COW
cred with varnlsh containing radium.
The action is regulated by the length
an frequency Of the applications.
The doctors showed a series Of
photographs illustrating stages of the
cure and final treatment, which lief
the stain in its normal condition
The applications, they stated, wer
absolutely painless, and the treat
mont could be applied to an inFan

FLCORsPAR MINING IN THE UNITED
STATES.
By +. julius toHs.

STATES.
In the western Kentucky District
the Kentucky Fluorspar Company,
with mines in Crittenden county, has
to its credit the largest amount of
development work. In a new shaft
at the Brown mines, a vein, more
than feet thick, of fuorspar and
zinc carbonate was secured At the
Hodge mines exploration on all three
veins was in progress; a large central
power plant is shortly to be erected.
The Meeks Incline, on the most
Southerly vein, has & feet of white
fuorspar and galena of the beautiful
ribbon structure type. On the main
Hodge, work Vas done in the Air
shaft, zine carbonate was mined from
surface cuts and a considerable body
OF gravel fuorspar was mined at the
Reed cut. On the Jones vein at the
Holly mines, feet Of fuorspar was
cut in the main shaft. Gravel was
mined on contract on the Reed and
Klondike veins. \ new vein of pur-
pie fuorspar was discovered fifty
yards southwest Of the Klondike
veins. The Memphis incline showed
an ore shoot II feet wide, largely
No. huorspar. A neat plant has
been installed and with aid of ham
mer, drills, the fuorspar is being
mined at one half its former cost.
The present output will be increased
upon the opening of new levels, sink
ing for which is now IN progress.
From maps aud sections prepared by
c. S. Num-, president of the com
pany, 1t is evident the Memphis ore
shoots pitch to the right, looking
down the dip, agreeing with Clayton !
law. Slickenside grooves in the ore
tally with the pitch of the ore shoot:
and serve as indicators; primary
slickensiding, such as Is seen on tn,
walls, does not serve this purpose

ore shoots also pitch to the right
