what the kindergarten stood and pass
ing on to its growth said that in $50
cities of over 5000 inhabitants there

Hartman Will Not Give
Up Active Work.
Doctor Says Health Has Not
Been Better In Years.
No Foundation for Assertion That
Magnate will Retire.

Les Angeles, Calf, March 1S.-The
statements attributed to f. H. Harri-
man at Pasadena last night regarding
the present state of his health and the
possibility of his retirement from ac-
tive life as published here this morn
ing, appears to have been somewhat
at variance with the intended mear-
ing of Mr.. Harriman's remarks on the
subject There was no hint of retire
ment in the near future.
Mr.. Hartman in his statement mere
ly said that he knew that sooner or
later the heavy burden Of responsibility
that has rested upon his shoulders
would have to be shifted to younger
ones. DR.. George A. Dixon. private
physician to Mr.. Hartman, is quoted
as saying that Mr.. Harriman's health
has not been better in years and that
the present trip has greatly helped him.
Later Mr. Hartman said:
There is absolutely no foundation
for any assertion that I intend to re-
tire from active business

derived by denudatve processes from tn
rocks. We can. indeed, detect the radio
active materials in the rivers on their
way to the ocean Yet this great ac-
emulation represents but a triflinS
spoilation of the rocks; the forces of de
mutation affecting, relatively speaking.
the mere surface. We are logically bound
to conclude that downward i'll the ma
terials from which all this radium has
been derived fuyther stores of radiunl
exist. Indeed, observations do not as yet
afford any limit to the downward extern
sion of radio-activity. The Simplon tun-
mel penetrates ancient sediments and
2neisses at a depth of one and a half
miles from the surface. and the st. Goth
ard reaches into materials of unknow
origin forming the core of the great
massif: vet the radum is still there: in
the Simplon rather more than tile average
in quantity. 1t occurs in isneous rock :
of every sort. Such indisputable fact
lead us to ask whether, indeed. there is
any limit to the downward extension Of
such quantities of radium. We easily
show that there is 4 limit and one which
must be reached but n. few miles beneath
the surface. This is very important
conclusion.-Prof. John Jolly, in Harper's.

HOW MUCH RADIUM is THERE?
Thousands Of Tons Dissolved in the
Waters of the Sea,


The reader may readily convince him
self that some of the results arrived ct
and which appear most startling are
plication table Thus, if the statement
that the quantity of radum in a cubic
centimeter of sea water is Of the order
of the hundredth part of the billionth of
a grain is considered along with the
number of cubic centimeters of sea water
in the ocean. it will be found that the
startling statement that 10000 tons Of
radium exist dissolved in the waters OF
the seas is fully justified. Again. but by
a somewhat longer train of reasoning, but
still with no more mathematics than
simple arithmetic, no more knowledge OF
geology than the elementary facts of SOL
vent denudation. it may be shown that
there must be more than million tons
of radium contained in the sediments
which are deposited over the floor of the
ocean.
The great quantities Of radium which
we have just concluded to exist in the
