MOST FAMOUS OF THRONES
That Of Indian Moguls in the Ancient
City of Delhi Marvel Of
irt


Among bare and ugly British bar
racks in the ancient capital Of the
Mogul empire in India known as Delhi
are remnants of two famous gems of
Oriental architecture. They are the
Diwan-i-Am, or hall of public audience.
and the Diwan-i-Khas, or hall of pri-
vate audience. The Diwan-iAm is
still splendid building 100 feet by
60. formerly plastered with chunam
and overlaid with gold. 1t was in a
recess in the back wall of this build
ing that the famous Peacock throne
used to stand. 1t was six feet long by
four feet wide, and was supported by
feet of solid gold incrusted with gems.
The throne was also Of gold, inlaid
with diamonds. emeralds and rubies
and surmounted by a canopy support
ed by IL gold columns decorated with
rows of splendid pearls. The throne
was given its name from the figures
with outspread wings blazing with
precious stones, their tails expanded
and the whole SO inlaid with sap
phires, rubies, emeralds, pearls and
other gems of appropriate colors as
to represent life. The throne was
valued at s3o,000,0 900 and was carried
off by the Persian invader, Nadir
Shah. in 1889 Presumably it was con-
structed in the days of Shah Jahan,
a decade less than three hundred
years ago.

hADlUM FOUND IN BALTIMORE
But Deposits. However, Are Not Ex.
pected to Be Commercially
Valuable.

Avdeposit of radium bearing ore
within the city limits of Baltimore
may be seen by anyone who strolls out
beyond the Wyman property, near Wy
man park, to the abandoned quarry,
which was formerly known as Wyght's
quarry, says the Baltimore Sun.
Unfortunately the ore is not plenti
ful enough to make it worth while to
extract the radium, according to DR..
Joseph +. Singewaid of the geological
department of Johns Hopkins univer-
sity.
That small deposits of uranium ore
were to be found in the quarry has
been known for at least twenty-five
years, says Doctor Singewald. by the
savants of the Hopkins. but it is not
commercially valuable.
The ore is found in pegmatite dikes
or layers and crevasses in the rocks.
1t was probably deposited there. thinks
Doctor Singewald, in a molten state
as pitchblende. By oxidation and de-
composition it is now in the form OF
autunite, or uranium mica. so called
because il is composed of thin fakes
like ordinary mica, but has a greenish
yellow tone that is unmistakable to
the expert in such things. Radium is
extracted from autunite in a very
small way in Portugal.
The only important sources of ra-
dunn know at present are the pitch
blende mines in Austria and the car
notite deposits in Colorado. Formerly
that carnotite ore was sent to Europe,
to be used for making dyes from the
uranium. Then it was found that the
European purchasers were getting
radium as well as dyes and there was
great rush to get the radium mines.
A large part Of the deposits have been
reserved for the uses of medicine and
science through the efforts Of Doctor
Kelly working in conjunction with the
United States bureau of mines.
