LATEST USE FOR RADIUM.
May Pay an Important Fart in War
fare az Illuminant for
Gun Sights.

The discovery of the latest use
to which radium can be put-the
illumination of gun sights and the
like, at night time-seems to indi-
cate that it will play an important
part in warfare, says the London
Daily Mail.
In gun sights, leveling instru-
mentsand telescopes there is what
is called a "tiducial" mark, which
is used to obtain faithful result.
These marks, of course, are use
less in the dark, and, though many
ways of Illuminating them have
been tried, nothing has proved sat,
isfactory.
Mr.. Andrew A. Common, OF
Eaton-rise, Falling, was the first
to attempt to solve the diff
Guilty by the use of radium,
and his experiments were so sue
cessful that he has applied for
a patent. Unfortunately, he did
not live to have it granted, but the
complete specifications submitted
by Mrs. Common, his widow and
executrix, have just been ac
cepted.

Properties Of Asbestos.

The terrible disaster in the Iro-
quois theater at Chicago has at
tracted universal attention to the
singular substance, asbestos,
which can be carded like wool and
formed into fre-proof cloth or
paper. Asbestos belongs to the
hornblende type of minerals, and
in some respects forms a kind Of
link between the vegetable and
animal kingdoms. 1t is, says Mr..
A. f. Collins, at once fibrous and
crystalline, elastic and brittle,
heavy as rock in the crude state,
yet light as thistle-down when
mechanically treated. The best
asbestos for the manufacture of
fire proof cloth comes from lower
Canada. 1t is found in narrow
seams, about an inch and a quar-
ter in thickness, sometimes verti-
cal and sometimes horizontal in
the containing rock. AS it comes
from the rock it is worth 5000 a
ton; but the long fibers, stripped
ready for spinning and weaving,
are worth $1,000 Youths
