RADIO fields contain the most important
radium-bearing deposits in the world.
We may expect, therefore, that these
two states will soon DO the principal
sources OF the worlds radium supply.
Already the price Of this most costly
product known to man has notably de-
creased in the last few years, but it is
still so expensive that IL cannot be used
extensively in medicine, where II has
performed maTvels. 1t is well that the
Bureau OF Mines and the National Ra-
dunn Institute have turned their stten-
tion to the carnotite ores Of southwest
ern Colorado and southeastern Utah.
The world should be supplied with de-
tailed data on the extent and possibii-
ties OF these deposits, so that appropri-
nte action NAV be taken to develop
them along lines that will prove of the
greatest benefit to mankind.
Although we deplore the wasteful ex-
ploitation on the part of foreign cap
italists, we cannot but accord them due
meed of praise for their foresight in
raking the globe to discover the sources
of the most precious of all ores. In
Utah, if not in Colorado, the public has
been rather apathetic with regard 10
radiuIn, and yet no romance Of the al
chemists of the middle ages Is moro en-
tIancing. The possibilities Of radium
arc untold, and from time 10 time we
shall hear Of new wonders In its use.
Every loyal citizen Of Utah should look
with increased enthusiasm upon any
measures taken to exploit tho radium-
bearing ores of this state wisely, but
persistently.
Radium is defined as a highly radio
active metallic element. It was first
obtained from tho uranium mineral
pitchblende by Pierre Curie, Nine Gu
ne, and G. Bemont In 1898. 1t emits
three kinds Of rays which have been
designated respectively as alpha, beta,
and gamma. In the process Of disin-
tegration Of the radium atom several
products are formed, notably helium,
and Professionally radium a, radium B,
radium G., radium D and radium E. In
1910 new sources Of radium production
were discovered in Cornwall, England,
where rich Pitchblende was unearthed
and in Portugal, near Guarda- AS
consequence of these discoveries the
cost Of radium per ounce fell from So
10000 to s2,100,0o0, there being but
four ounces of radium in the world In
1911.
An important test was made In 1910,
when Nine Curie and Deblerne sue
ceeded in obtaining metallic radium,
the element being up to that time
known only in the form Of salts. The
metal acts with remarkable energy. 1t
burns paper when IN contact with it,
water, and oddizes rapidly
in the air. In 1901 the effect of ra
dium on tho human tissues was OBJ
served. and since that time il has been
employed with great success in medi-
cine We are now informed that Salt
Lake experimenters have succeeded in
using the radium- bearing carnotlte orc
for developing photographs, and this is
apt to prove an important discovery.
Scientists tell MS that the emanations
Of radium are not essentially different
from the X.ray which has been en-
ployed in the treatment Of cancer and
has shown itself effcacious in the cure
OF other diseases.

Legs CUT OFF
BY CAR WHEELS

Grand Forks, N. D., June ed. Oh
son, a local painter, vas seriously and
perhaps fatally injured last evening
when he was run over by a Northern
Pacific box car in the yards in East
Grand Forks. Both of his legs were
terribly mangled and should he sur
vive the shock, it will be necessary to
amputate both, one just below the
knee and the other at the ankle.
When he was brought to st. Michael's
hospital last night and given medical
attention, he was in a serious condi-
ton and his life was d~espaired of, but
at an early hour this morning he was
resting quite easily and appeared to
be withstanding the shock well.
A woman standing on the back
porch of the Improvement building
was the only witness of the accident
and was at such a distance that she
could not see it plainly. She says that
Olson was trying to climb between the
box cars which were standing on a
switch between the Robertson Lumber
Co. and tie Northern Pacific depot. A
switch engine was pulled onto the
switch to take out the cars, and when
the engine bumped into the cars, Oh
son was thrown beneath them n run

Olson was hurried to st. Michael's

that both legs had been SO severely

that his skull had been Injured. 1t

MAY Weather
cool and 'DRIER
COMPARED WITH THE RECORDS
SINCE 1881, THE LOWEST MINI
MUM DURING THE MONTH
WAS 80 DEGREES ON MAY 6
AND 10.

The meteorological summary issued
from the Moorhead office Of the United
States weather bureau discloses prom
inently that the precipitation for May
was much below the record for the
corresponding months for many of the
years since 1881. Out of thirty-tWo
years recorded there were twenty-five
a in which the month of May
shows over two inches of precipita-
ton. total for that month. The total
precipitation for May, 1918, was 1853
inches: May, 1912. $50 inches; and
May, 1911, the rainfall was 1892 inches.
The normal precipitation for May is
2.95 inches.
The records Of the Moorhe3d station
date from 1881. thirty-two years. The
mean temperature for May was 52.2,
as compared with an average for the
month since 1881 of 52.2 degrees. The
hottest day last month was May q. 95
degrees, and the coolest were the first
two days Of the month, AZ degrees. The
maximum rainfall for the month of
May was 7.24 inches in 1905. The dry
est May was in 1897 when the total
rainfall was 0.S0 of an inch.
