WORLDS SUPPLY OF RADIUM
TO COME FROM PITTSBURG.

Pittsburg is to become the great
est radium supply centre in the
world. The company operating the
enterprise is headed by Joseph M.
Flannery, who introduced vanadium
into the steel business several years
ago. The mines are located in Para
dox Valley, Montrose county, near
the foothills of Uncompahgree Noun
tains. The nearest railroad station
is at Placeville, So miles distant.
The ore is packed in bags of 80
pounds each and transported through
the hills on burros, each animal
carrying 240 pounds to loading sta
ton. The remainder of the trip is
covered by wagons. From Placeville
the ore is shipped to Canonsburg, Pa.
where the reducing plant is located.
Following the extraction of the
radium 1t is sent to the radium re-
search laboratory in Pittsburg, where
the latest known instruments in the
delicate work of radium research
are installed. The scales used in the
laboratory weigh particles visible
only by the aid of the spactroscope.
The research staff consists of a
number of scientific experts and
chemists, headed by DR.. Otto Brill,
graduate of the University of Vienna.
Radium is the most valuable of
metals, because it embodies the high
est form of concentrated energy"
said Doctor Brill. can ounce is worth
$3,000,000, and at present there is
not more than half an ounce of pure
radium. Four pounds would pro-
pei the largest ocean liner. The
possibilities of radium are now onlv
dreamed of. So far we are applying
it mainly in therapeutics. The re-
suits have been astounding.
t'When applied externally such
disease as external cancer, eczema,
scrofula and the like readily yield to
its influence. Inwardly, it will cure
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and
seiatica. Before long we shall have
larger supply Of radium in Pitts
burg than all the rest Of the world"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
An Orchard.

By Maroltta e. Bryant, English II.
The sun was setting on a large
apple orchard near a country farm
house. Here and there the red rays
of the sun shot their light between
the many trees to the ground, which
was covered with thick carpet of
green grass. This reached nearly to
the gnarled limbs which were bend
ing beneath their load of green fruit.
Although the trees are old, they still
contribute their share to the farm
er's harvest. They also furnish
homes for many birds, among them
are the robins and orioles. The
ground at one end slopes to level
plain, through which runs small
brook which murmurs contentedly to
itself. But, when frozen in winter,
it presents the same dreary appear
ance as the trees with their barren
limbs. This does not last long and
soon the warm winds stir the
branches which nod and bow to their
winged friends who again return to
see it in all its splendor in May, the
most beautiful time of the year,
which completes it's round of sea-
sons.

PROF. ODAY is APPOINTED
The State Committee of the Y. NJ. O..
A. Has Recently Placed Homes
dale on the Map.

0ole on the Map.
The State Young Mems Christian
Association of Pennsylvania is pur-
suing an admirable plan by which
young men in towns and villages
without Associations may be accord
ed some of the advantages of the or
ganizations. The State Committee
is appointing in these places a repre-
sentative, known as Corresponding
Member. His chief duty is to keep
the State office informed when any
young man leaves home to settle else
where for any purpose whatever.
The State Committee forwards this
information to the Association or
Church of the place in which the
young man is to locate. He is met
cordially and helped in finding a
congenial home, in securing employ
ment, and is introduced to the help
full influences and Christian fellow
ship of his new environment.
This Means Much to Young Men.
In response to a very general
demand for the extension of the AS
sociation work into the smaller
towns and villages and rural Sec
tions of the State, the State Com
mittee is undertaking the Inaugural
ion of County Work, which feder-
ates the villages and rural commun-
tiles of county and secures a coun-
ty secretary to lead in work for men
and boys. The corresponding mem
Der co-operates in this extension of
the Associations activities in aid of
local young men.
The State Committee has recently
appointed Mr.. Harry A. Oday as
corresponding member for Homes
dale, Pa. He will gladly give any aid
or information about work for young
men that may be in his power.
Some of Prof. Oday's Duties.
The Corresponding Member will
also arrange for meetings in the
interest of the young men of his
community, and furnish information
regarding Association work. Almost
every city in the country has it's
Young Mems Christian Association,
which stands ready to serve to the
extent of its ability any young man
who may come to them. To it's mem
bers the Association provides social
parlors, evening educational classes,
entertainments, lectures and practi-
cal talks, gymnasiums, employment
bureaus, clearinghouse registers,
classes for Bible study, Young Mems
Meetings, etc. These privileges are
offered at so small a fee that any
young man can afford them. There
are now 179 Associations in cities,
towns, colleges and among railroad
men in the state of Pennsylvania be-
sides Corresponding Members in
many of the smaller places.
