Radium to be Produced
 for Commercial Purposes

reduction plant for their treatment is being erected, and it is estimated that it contains S5,OOO miIIigrammes of ra- dium of the gross value of $S,5OO,OOO.
 This estimate does not include the ore in the lower depths of the mine still unmined, which is believed to eX- ceed in value the ore already mined.
 The worlds supply of radium is now 32 grammes. It is announced that Continental bankers and British en gineers have subscribed the capital for the working by new process, invent ed by Prof. Erich Ebler of Heidelberg University by which the costly meth. cd of producing radium has been revo. lutionized.
 Large quantities of Austrian and Portuguese radioactive minerals are controlled by the corporation, which will. by the new process, it is said, reduce radium to a price rendering it possible to employ it for industrial, medical, and therapeutical purposes. It is further stated that the Austrian Government is interested in the en- terprise.

obliterated from the catalogue of hills

>
and Quimby's Hill, at the summit Of
which stood, and still stands the Quimhy
house, which hill has ceased to exist yet
in 1905, and for some years later, it was
so much of an elevation that person
standing midway between the foot of it
and Nesmith's corner, could barely dis
Germ the top Of mans hat sitting on
horseback in front of the house occupied
by Captain 4mes Miller, deceased. So
late as 1914 it was so much of hill that
people gathered there for better observa-
ton of the British frigate as she hove in
sight or her way from Castine to Belfast.
For the few still left who can remember
those hills as they were more than sixty
years ago, whose eyes have watched
them crumbling away year after year
before the onward stride of improve
ment. until they are nearly lost to NOR
tai vision, there is a melancholy salts
faction in the reflection that there are
other hills to which they can still Gift
up their eyes-the hills from whence
cometh their help
With brief allusion to two other
notable localities on Main street this
chapter will close, and with it all further
mention of the streets and buildings
standing on them in 1905, unless it be
incidentally. The land at the corner of
Main and Church streets, where the store
of Mr.. Alden D. Chase stands, and for
several rods in the rear of it, and half,
at least, of the width of that portion of
Church street, was then a quagmire; on
the site of The Republican Journal build
ing, in which this goes to press, grew
flags, of the species producing cat-tals.
The water from this quagmire oozed off
through a gridiron bridge across Main
street, the eastern end of which was not
far from the store now occupied by Doctor
Sylvester. In 1859, when gas pipes were
laid down in the streets Of Belfast, the
pine logs that formed this bridge were
uncovered, at the depth Of four feet.
The author of these annals said "good
morning" to them. as old acquaintance.
Main street from that point as far up as
the brick building now owned by the Bel
fast Savings Bank, was so springy and
soft in the spring of the year and fall
that it was no unusual occurrence for
heavily laden teams to get stuck in the
attempt to pass over it. There is hardly
room for doubt that some of the logs
originally placed in that locality NAV still
be found at the depth of four or five feet
below the present surface of the street.
A few years prior to 1905, John Mill
ken, tanner by trade, sunk few watts
on that part of the premises occupied by
the late DR.. Monroe, which lies between
the house and driveway on the eastern
side Of it. They were subsequently taken
up and in their place there was, as late as
1872, quite large pond fed by the numer-
GUS springs on the hillside; the surplus
water from it passed across the street
under log bridge, discharging itself on
the land now occupied by Mr.. Chase,
about midway between his house and
Waldo Avenue. 1t was famous frog
pond in its day, and the Paradise of Polli
wogs.
