skirt out at the bottom which just
touches all round and ends with a

The dark red corundum became a

BLUSH corundum a topaz.
The possible effect of this discovery
upon the trade in jewelry and precious
stones can be readily inferred. Ra-
dunn is as yet one OF the rarcst and
most precious substances known to
science, but the duration of it's power
is practically unlimited, and since l
milligram (0.0154 grain) of radium is
sufficient to convert several cOrundum
crystals into precious stones within
the space of a month, and since this
process may be repeated indefinitely
with the same speck of radium, it is
naturally, though perhaps premature
ly, assumed that this latest discovery
may have an important industrial
value in the commercial prices of GER
tain precious stones. Professor Bordas
however, regards his discovery as a
mere laboratory experiment and dis
claims any intention to secure for it a
commercial value.
