PHONETIC BIBLE

A gentleman Giving in Cleveland,
Mimi, has just completed a transla-
tion of the Bible, using a system of
phonetic spelling which he devised.
The manuscript is being kept in a
safe deposit vault, while the four
books of the Gospel and the Book OF
Acts are being put into type.
The translator began his work 21
years ago. when he was sixty years
old. and he has devoted most of his
time since to the translation. He
has acquired considerable fame in his
specially of phonetic spelling, hav.
ing originated a method which elm
mates all silent letters and substi-
tutes. His system of spelling has
been in use in the English schools of
China nine years. and the Chinese are
particularly enthusiastic about the
method. as making it easier for them
to learn the language.

England's most famous town criers
engaged In battle of voices at Has
tings the other day. The contest was
for the championship bell OF Great
Britain and other prizes. The spec
tators got a new idea OF what the
human voice is capable of doing. In.
dividually. of course, the town criers
could make themselves heard over
wide areas and when all of them COM
bined their voices in one simultaneous
roar the effect was deafening The
first contest was for the crying cham
pionship. The judges sat in a tent,
so that they could not see the com
petitors. They judged by the sound
alone. One by one the criers stood
on the platform. rang their bells and
declaimed the test sentence:
"Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Be 1t known
that the floral pageant on August Bank
holiday is a free feast of joy and beau
ty for Hastings and st. Leonards Wis.
itors!"
In this contest the judges had no
hesitation In awarding the first prize
to w. b. Angliss of Marlborough.

Peculiar Belief.

Two centuries have passed since
the Scottish judge Lord Monboddo
was born. In his "Origin and Prog
ress of Language" he argued that hu.
man beings should be studied like
other animals; but this doctrine seem
ed to the contemporaries of DR.. John
son so ridiculous that the wags based
many a jest upon it, His belief that
men got rid of their tails by sitting
upon them would now scarcely raise
a smile among anthropologists Among
his more startling propositions was the
earnestly maintained one that the ou-
rang-outang was a class of the hui
man species, and that its want OF
speech was merely accidental"

The United States Bureau OF Mines mas
made the startling discovery that more
than two-thirds of the radium supply OF
the world is being made in Europe from
American ores shipped abroad through
the foresight of foreign scientists Rad
ium is purchasable only in very small
quantities and at a price equivalent to
So 25o, 900 an ounce and although, from
the investigations of the Bureau OF
Mines, IL is shown that the United states
has the greatest known supply OF rad
ium-bearing ores i'm the world, not one
gram has been produced here.
1.-THE United States today is in the
humilitating position of being forced 10
purchase at extravagant prices from
abroad such radium as its hospitals ana
physicians can afford for experimental
purposes. while we have been supplying
the ores from which it is made" said
Charles L. Parsons, chief Of the Division
of Mineral Technology of the bureau.
1--WE have paid Europe's prices Tor Wnat
we could get in order to investigate the
wonderful properties of radium and their
possible application to the eradication OF
disease. 1t is needless to say that we
have been greatly hampered I'm our work
by the almost prohibitive prices at which
the radium has been held.
Several months ago, rumors reached
the Bureau of Mines. that in Colorado
there had been an increased demand for
cornotite. the radium carrying orer, and
that this ore was being shipped abroad
in considerable quantity. IL was also re-
ported that the Europeans were insisting
upon only the highest grades of these
ores and that great amount or lower
grade ores was practically being wasted
r. b. Moore and X. Ia Kithil in charge
of the Denver. Colo, laboratory OF. the
bureau. were requested to investigate
these rumors, and they reached the sur

prisinG conclusion that while all the re-
dunn placed upon the market In the last
few years had been produced in Europe.
a large portion of this had come from
American ores.
.'while carnotite Is found in small
quantities in a number of States the
more important deposits are scattered
over a considerable area in Colorado and
Utah. embracing Meeker and Skull
Creek. in Colorado; Green River. Thomp-
sons, Noah, Richardson, Table Noun
tain, Pahreah, and other places in Utah.
The largest proportion of this ore. how
ever, has been produced in or around
Paradox Valley, In Southwest Colorado.
In the mining of these carnotite ores
it is probable that Ave tons of material
capable of concentration are thrown
upon the dump for every tone that finds
it's way to market. To develop methods
for concentration of these ores and save
the valuable material now wasted is one
of the problems before the Bureau of
Mines, with fair prospect of a success
full conclusion.
"Pitchblende, the richest of all radium-
bearing minerals, has been found in
small quantities in Connecticut and in
the feldspar osuarries of North Carolina.
Practically the total American output
has come from the mines in Quartz Hill,
Gilpin County, Colo.
THE figures given show very plainly
that the United States has taken the
palm from Austria as the radium pro-
ducing country of the world. Very few
people have been cognizant Of the fact
that the United States has such de-
posits within her borders. Up to the
present time one firm has engaged in
the extraction and refining of radium In
this country-a condition which is de-
plorable. This firm has not yet entered
the radium market"
