R4DIUM TO PHILIPPINES.
One-Thousandth of a Gram, for Er-
perimentS, Costs s., 900.
rFron The Tribune Bureau J


Washington. Dec 26.-The bureau of insular
affairs has just paid the largest price for the
smallest shipment ever sent TO the Philippines.
1t has bought for $4,000 one-thousandth of a
gram of radurn which is equal to -O1543 of a
grain troy weight. The purchase, which has
been made in New York, is for the bureau of
science of the Philippines. which purposes TO
,,se the radiunl in a series of experiments IT Is
about to conduct
The insular bureau is in something OF a
ouaudary as TO how 1t shall ship this precious
mineral speck but it is assumed that the New
York concern from which il is bought will man
aga 10 mack it in a sufficient number of wrap
pers to give it at least tangible bulk
When the requisition reached the bureau the
acting chief calmly called for quotations on
radi,1m by the pound or ounce. but the New
York purveyors evidently feared that the price
on radium in such quantities would cause mem
tai and physical collapse in the bureau. and
accordinsIv disregarded the specifications and
ouoted a price of $4,000 for the quantity above
noted
Major Mcintyre 1t is stated on trustworthy
authority put on his strongest spectacles and
then sent for a nagnifying glass merely to read
the quotation after which he sent II by wire 10
Manila. but with little expectation that the orer
,yonId be accepted. Greatly 10 his surprise.
however he received reply few hours later
saving in effect that the bureau or science
would like $4,000 worth but would regard the
nrice as 100 high if any extra charge was ndde
