SUPPLY OF RAD|UN
o-ThirdS of Ore Comes From
United States.
Then This Country is Forced to Buy
Abroad Valuable Product From
Raw Material Bought Here-ln-
dustry to Be Developed.

Washington Fully two-thirds of
the radium supply of the world comes
from the United States, according to
the bureau of mines. This discovery
has just been made by officials of the
bureau, who have found that large
quantities of the radum-bearing ores
are being shipped abroad through the
foresight of foreign scientists, AL
though the bureau of mines has ascer-
tanned that the United States has the
greatest known supply of radium-bear-
ing ores, not one bit has been pro-
duced here. 1t is the intention of the
bureau of mines, in view of these
facts, to encourage the development of
this industry, the product of which is
valued at approximately $2.250,000 an
ounce.
The United States today is in the
humiliating position of being forced to
purchase at extravagant prices from
abroad such radium as its hospitals
and physicians can afford for expert
mental purposes, while we have been
supplying the ores from which it is
made" said Charles l.. Parsons, chief
of the bureau.
Several months ago rumors reached
the buraeu of mines that in Colorado
there had been an increased demand
for carnotite, the radium- carrying ore,
and that this ore was being shipped
abroad in considerable quantity 1t
was also reported that the Europeans
were insisting upon only the highest
grades of these ores, and that a great
amount of lower grade ores was prac-
tically being wasted.
"R. B. Moore and K L. Kithil, in
charge of the Denver (Col.) laboratory,
investigated these rumors and found
that, while all the radium placed upon
the market in the last few years had
been produced in Europe, large por-
ton of this had come from American
ores.
The Austrian government, realizing
the untold possibilities of the radium
ores at st. Joachimtshal, purchased
the mines. On the other hand, the
United States has allowed her much
greater resources to be exploited by
foreigners on basis which wastes
perhaps irretrievably a large portion
of the ores mined, and has exported
carefully selected ores at a price by no
means commensurate with its radium
value.
THE discovery of radium has al
ready changed our ideas regarding the
constitution of matter, and scientific
investigation will undoubtedly lead to
valuable results which we cannot now
even foresee. 1t is the purpose of the
bureau of mines to encourage the de-
velopment of radium industry in the
United States"

HARPooNER GETS BIG PAY.

If a member of congress who re-
ceives $500 a year cannot live in
Washington as he and his family
should and make ends meet, why
doesn't he become harpooner in the

Secretary Redfeld of the depart
ment of commerce. has received a
report from Consul General Charles
A. Holder, stationed at Christiania,
Norway, showing that the average
harpooner on one of the whaling YES
sells attached to the Norwegian fleet
for five months work receives $5.36O

UNCLE SANS MANY CUSTOMERS.

The department of commerce has
issued a bulletin which shows that
more than one hundred countries, colo
MES and dependencies furnish markets
for American manufactures. Automo-
biles constitute one of the chief fac
tors in this commerce. Such out-of-
the-way places as the Canary islands,
the Dutch East Indies, French islands
of the Pacific, Portuguese possessions
in Africa, Asiatic Turkey and the Bal
kan states purchase American-made
automobiles. American aeroplanes
were sold during the last year to Jap
an. Brazil, Russia, Panama, France,
Germany, Canada. Cuba, the Philip
pines, Jamaica and Australia. Several
million dollars worth of American
plows were exported during the last
year to turn the soil of so foreign coun-
