A Radium Safe.
From the Dundee Advertiser.

from Tue Auuucc <AuNcitoci.
A safe, the first of its kind constructed,
has been made by Chubb & Sons for the
British Radium Corporation. 1t has been
specially constructed from the design of
the technical advisers to the corporation
for the storage and protection Of radium.
and though only about three feet in
height it weighs a ton and half. Ex-
periments made by experts proved that
practically the only metal which would
withstand the great penetrating power Of
radium emanations was lead. but, as this
was at the same time burglarproof,
the safe has been constructed with an
interior shell of three-inch lead and an
outer easement of a similar thickness Of
steel. Another difficulty was the fitting
of the door to prevent the escape of any
ray of light. This was secured by con-
structing a circllar lathe-turned door,
which was dead fit. and has an in
genious contrivance for Immediately
remedying any wear and tear caused by
opening and shutting the door. Another
safeguard had to be taken to prevent
loss of emanations when the door is
opened, and two valves have been fixed
into the door. through which tubes Of
mercury will be passed for the collection
and storage of the emanations. Owing
to the extreme scarcity of radium and the
demand far exceeding the supply. the
price quoted has reached 920 a mllligram,
or something like f6OOOOO an ounce.
