Chewing Gum Famine.
From the New York World.


The recent report from Mexico that
there is danger of chewing gum fam
Inc In few years has caused the turn
ing of startled and inquiring eyes toward
that part Of the country from which the
chewing gum as we'll as the butternuts
come.
Practically all the chicle gum. which is
the basis for chewing gum, comes from
Mexico, Central America and Yucatah.
The greed Of the chicle growers IL the
cause of the threatened shortage, because
they have been tapping the trees too
often and as a result the trees are dying.
or a system or reforestation Is put Into
effect, several OF the states will have no
gum to export In few years.
Chicle Is the gum which exudes when
an incision is made in the bark Of the
Chico sapote tree. The crude gum is
shipped to Canada and refined in Toronto
before being imported to the American
factories. This Is done because there is
q high ad valorem duty on chicle. It is
worth about 40 cents a pound and loses
% per cent in refining. SO a. great saving
is made by refining before shipment
An explorer who recently returned from
South America reports that u Is curious

hunting has worked among the popula-
ton of some of the villages. NO one"
he says, will plant a maize field, and
even the poorest ragamuffin proudly re-

Chiclero and have no need to work for

occurs In some parts of the country every
season All the Chicleros are poverty
stricken, and being deeply in debt, they
no longer have huts or maize fields or
families, for this unsettled life in the
forests interrupted occasionally by
sprees in this or that village. puts even
the most unpretentious form of family
life out of the question"

NEW Y0RK'S RADIUM BANK.
Gotham Physicians to Be Assured Of
Steady Supply.
From the New York World.

CIOu tue -NeW 4Ofk "oEIu.
New York is to have a radium bank,
maintained for the sole purpose of lend
ing to physicians small quantities of pure
radium at a nominal cost. New York 10
also going to have a radium institute de-
voted to the treatment Of incurable
diseases, particularly cancer. Armet
dLisle, the quinine manufacturer of
Paris. established two such institutions
in Paris three years ago, and they are
being conducted with such success that
the interest earned on a paid-up capital
Of 100000 francs is said to be consider
able.
The project has been started in New
York by the Hon. Henry March Of Lon
don. a millionaire philanthropist. who
controls the radium output of the world.
Mr.. March is cooperating with philan-
thropists and scientists in London. Berlin,
Lisbon, Naples and st. Petersburg In the
establishment of such institutions where
the benefits Of radium can be demon
strated.
Hitherto scientists have been depending
for a supply of radium upon pitchb ende
ore, considerable quantities Of which are
to some extent in this country, in North
Carolina, Colorado and Utah. The Aus
TRAN sources of radiuim supply are under
government control and the output Is
limited. The Cornish supplies extracted
from pitchblende are ininitesimai,. while
the supply, so far, In the United States
is SO small as to be practically incense
quential. The mines of Portugal, dis
covered In the province of Guarda, are
sources OF extensive supply Of -urania
ore and it is to these mines that the
scientists and medical men Of the civil
lied world are now looking in the hope
that the supply will be sufhcient to place
within reach of all that which they are
beginning to believe is life itself
The late Prof. and Mime. Curie were
the discoveries OF radium. and they have
made 1t possible to manufacture radium
of 100000 standard. The next standard
of activity was produced In Der In by
Prof BuchIer. but he was unable to pro-
iqice the standard made by the CURES.
The Austrian mines in the last twelve
months have produced only thirteen
grams of radium chloride, containing
from 5 to 10 per cent radium. which will
produce just one grain Of radium for
medical use.
The expense of extracting uranium
from the pitchblende ore Is almost pro-
Cassell gave an order few weeks ago
to the owners Of the Cornish radium
mines for seven grams of rad.um at
5000 gram. This Is intended for the
Kings Institute, but II Is doubted that
the owners can produce even demi mill
egram of 1t. The present price OF radium
of the 100000 standard is $l00.OOD a
gram, and as that Is the price which
must be paid for II Mr.. March's project
of a radium bank, where the disease-de-
stroying agent can be hired. Is welcomed

Salt Often Coutraband

Salt, that daily necessity OF life, being a
government monopoly In China. is SUBJ
ject to official regulations which add to its
cost and lessen it's quality. The duty in
directly paid on this article may be styled
the income tax of China, since all must
use this everywhere Indispensable COM
modify. Salt. therefore, naturally comes
within the scope of the contrabandist, and

commands a ready sale. 1t differs from
opium, however, inasmuch as it's bulk
renders concealment difficult and landing
t at its destination risky. The majority
of salt smugglers are. therefore, the
Chinese crews OF the carrying vessels.
working in conjunction with accomplices
ashore. 1t Is as often as not concealed
among the bunker coal and kept there
until a favorable opportunity for landing
presents itself.
At one of the river ports some years
back the crime of salt running assumed
such startling Dimensions that extraor-
binary precautions to put a stop to 1t
were introduced, which proved efficacious
for a time. Later, however, 1t was noticed
that Sampans or small boats, manned by
those unhappy outcasts, lepers, were be-
coming more numerous, and 1t was soon
discovered that they were engaged to
land the salt, as 1t was perhaps not un-
assumed that customs officers,

the inviolab lily Of these fatal crafts, and
1t was not until the aid Of the local mag
istrate was invoked that these adjunctive
were forbidden the port.
