SOURCES OF RADIUM.
Obtained from Pitchblende After the Alb
straction of Uranium

Considerable surprise and great inter
est have been caused throughout Eng
land by the discovery in Cornwall of
large quantities of pitchblende, from
which radium is produced, after the ex-
traction Of uranium, says the Boston
Globe. Heretofore the tailings from the
Cornwall mines have been regarded as
useless. but il has recently been found
that the residuum is the mother of ra-
dunn.
Pitchhlende ore is chiefly obtained in
the Erz-G ebirge, in Bohemia, and so val
liable are. the finds that the Austrian
government has prohibited further eX-
pOrtation from that country.
Tie process of extracting radiGm from
the ore is extremely tedious and eXpen-
sive, tons Of pitchblende yielding only
the minutest quantity Of the precious
metal. which is theoretically worth $50
100000 Il pound. The total world produc-
ton thus far has not equailed one grain,
or 1-ISOth of pound. To be appreciably
cheaper it must be derived from uranium
minerals. when obtainuble in large guam

War on the Nun Moth

A crusade was begun recently against
the nun moth, which has caused havoc
among the pines Of the Lausuitz noun
tains, in Saxony. Two big rcncctors
and an exhaust fan were set up on the
municipal electric light plant of the
city of Xittau. All night long two great
streams of light were thrown on the
wooded mountainsides, about half mile
away. The moths came huttcring along
the ribbons of light by the thousands,
and were drawn in by the exhaust fan
and destroyed. The result Of the first
experiment was twcnty-nine kllOs of
dead moths. and besides these thousands
were destroyed by the arc lights of the
city, from which the globes had been
removed.

Every Dish of Banquet Made of Potatoes

One of the most remarkable menus
ever drawn up must have been that of
the feast to which Franklin, LDvoiSler
and other distinguished men sat down
us guests of Parmeltier. Every dish at
this banquet was made of potatoes, and
even the brandy and liquors were the
product of the same vegetable. This was
Parmentier's final proof of his sceptical
fellow countryncn that potatoes were
not poison, rs they persisted in bciey-

Parmcntier's earliest converts, granted
him land on which to grow his plants,
and did not dsdain to wear the potato

Farm Telephones.

In some parts of the country tele-
phones are becoming very common. 1t
seems that once a telephone is estab-
Other sections Of the country are very
much behind the times in this respect,
probably because no one has gone
ahead with the preliminary arrange
mentS
A farm telephone is not only great
luxury, but it Is fast becoming an alb
solute necessity. With the addition of
more business to the farm every year
and the scarcity of labor anything that
saves steps is worth money When
you get accustomed to doing business
over the telephone you realize its
great value.
A short time ago | heard a farmer
order 100 bushels of seed oats by
phone from another farmer about ten
miles away. He had seen a sample
at the fair last fall and made the ne
gotiations accordingly. The business
was transacted in about five minutes
while the farmer was sitting at his
desk after reading his morning mail
left at the box by the rural delivery
man. 1t would have taken him all
day to get his mail and drive to the
other farmer and buy his seed oats.
But there is a social side to farm
life that is fostered by the telephone.
1t often happens that woman is left
alone for the day and she can easily
make arrangements to have neigh

ly, instead Of feeling lonely. Then it
is so easy to make social arrangements
for evenings or to meet friends as oc.
casion requires.
There are always people in neigh.
borhood who are philosophical
enough to go ahead with the necessary
arrangements to establish a telephone
service. Others should encourage them
promptly by subscribing to the fund
required. Everybody Is benefited, be.
cause the arrangement IS mutual in

Az siinI.

He bought hoe, rake. a spade,
Some little seeds TO sow,
At last he got the garden made
And saw the green things grow.
He work'd the rows and beds each day ;
Each little plant he knew,
And as he smiled and sweat away
Oh, JOY how fast they grew
No floods came down to wash things out,
No frosts to kill or blight;
No neighbours chickens scratched about !;
No kline strayed in at night.
Each seed he planted did its best
And not a one did rot
No other garden, East or West,
Such Vegetables begot.
But still this man did not enjoy
These vegetables so new,
For every night neighbours boy
Stole what the garden grew.

The Turtles Cunning.

Although not credited with any high
degree of intelligence, the turtle when
about to deposit its eggs exhibits con
siderable cunning. 1t scoops out a hole
as if to prepare a repository for its
eggs but in order to delude birds and
other enemies the turtle throws the
sand again into the hole, leaving the sur
face rough and waddles off to another
spot, where it repeats the process.
Sometimes this is done three times and
eventually the eggs are laid in an eXca-
walton within a few yards of the sham
nest. the surface being smoothed and
flattened down. When hunting for eggs
the Queensland blacks probe the sand
in the vicinity of one of the sham nests
and are usually uccessful.-London
