DON'T NEED TRUCKS
 TO HANDLE RADIUM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-For the purpose of establishing standard for importations of radium, the scientists of the United States Bureau of Standards are looking forward eag- erly to the receipt of $1,500 con- signment of the metal reported on it's way from Austria. They now have piece weighing only five milli- grams, which is valued at $500. We do not expect any heavy importa- tions of radium in the near future" said scientist, but we want to be prepared for anything. The fact that we ordered our small consignment for scientific purposes last spring would indicate the radium supply will never have to be delivered in trucks" The only other piece of radium in possession of the federal government is in the keeping of the Bureau of Mines and is necessary to the oper- ation of delicate instrument. It is so small, however, that it can be seen only with the aid of powerful mi croscope.

ANOTHER ANTARCTIC EXPEDI
 TON.

With the world still waiting for the publication in it's entirety of the diary of Capt Scott, telling the most heart rending of exploration tragedies, Sir Ernest Shackleton, whose "farthest south" achievements inspired Scott to make his fatal polar journey, has announced his intention of leading another Antarctic expedition. With the opportunity to win undying fame as the first to reach the pole, no longer an incentive, this announce ment of the British explorers inten- ton again to brave the terrors of the wastes of ice and snow, with the bit ter cold, the danger of suffocation in blizzards, the ever-present likeli- hood of starvation or of fatal injury in some crevasse all looming before him, affords 8 sharp illustration of ercise over men that have once es- saved exploration.
 In the death of Capt. Scott, Shack Teton lost not only fellow explorer but personal friend and one to whom he owed his own life. It was only Scott's indomitable courage and endurance that brought the injured Shackleton out alive on the expedi- tion vhey made together into the Antarctic preceding the dash that associated Shackleton's name with the words "farthest south" Despite that experience Shackleton went back into the wastes, just as Peary return ed year after year to the Arctic, spurred on by the hope of being the first to reach the pole.
 Now that Amundsen and Scott have accomplished this feat, it would seem that Shackleton might we'll be con- tent to give up the hard life that led to his former companions death. He already has fame that will scarcely be enhanced by any new adventure in the far south. But he feels there is work to be done for science there, and so he is going into the Antarctic again, this time not to find the pole but to gain facts and figures that will enrich mans knowledge of the globe on which he dwells. The Scott and Amundsen parties ascertained much of value, and doubtless, had they not been concerned with the po- lar adventure itself, might have given the world even fuller information.
 But for man to risk his life and endure the tortures described in the parts of Scott's diary that have been published, for the sake of few fos- sils to prove that the land of ice was once 8 tropical zone or to hoist his sovereign's flag over some dreary expanse such as the new land the Russians recently reported having found in the north, requires a conse- cration to a cause, a seeming love for hard knocks-or perhaps a restless ness that amounts to a weakness-al- most beyond the comprehension of persons living the ordinary routine of life.-Ex.
