RadIun Used to Promote Plant
Growth.


Some of the remarkable properties
of radium are being demonstrated by
an exhibitor In the Liberal Arts build
ing at the Panama Pacific Information
al Exposition, San Francisco, in con
nection with new invention making
possible the radiofying of water tor
medicinal purposes.
Demonstrating the power of this
mineral promoting metabolism a mum
Der of young plants, some existing
with and some without the aid of ra-
dunn, are shown Those in the radio
active soils are seen to be growing
much more rapidly than those in com
mon soil, and to have a more healthy
appearance.
This inventor has found a process
of impregnating terra Gotta bricks
with radium-bearing minerals, and
these small bricks placed in water are
said to give it remarkable curative
properties. The porous bricks last al
most indefinitely, losing only half their
potency, 1t is estimated, in 1900 years.
Since the discovery of this mineral it
has been found that many celebrated
waters, as Carlsbad and Baden Baden,
owe their health giving properties to ra-
dunn. The inventor claims that his
process produces in ordinary waters
the qualities of these famous springs.
The radium ore used in the manu-
facture of radioactive terra Gotta
Is known as carnotite, a formation
found mainly In Colorado and Utah,
and now producing three-fourths of
the worlds radium. The European
mineral, known as pitchblende, from
which the famous European springs
are impregnated, is also displayed.
Most Rapid Photographic Ever Taken.
The most remarkable set of speed
photographs ever taken are part of
the war. departments exhibit in Ma
chinery Hall at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition, San Francisco.
They are pictures of a shell from IL
inch coast defense gun In fight, the
set including the various phases of
the flight beginning just as the great
projectile pokes its hose out of the
muzzle of the gun.
The pictures were taken with
lens having an exposure period of
one five-thousandth of second, this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
featured. The exposure at the proper
time in the flight of the projectile
was made by breaking an electric cir
cult in a wire stretched across the
Trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half
way out OF the muzzle before any
smoke and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was two
feet from the muzzle but hidden by a
heavy ring of smoke. A third shows
the shell in flight a hundred feet from
the muzzle. The photographs are so
perfect and the exposure so rapid that
scarcely any blur is perceptible. They
were taken at Fortress Monroe. Va, I'M

Behl OF the coast artillery corps and
head of the department of enlisted

school at Fortress Monroe.

Railroad Improvements at Gallup
 The Santa Fe rigbtofway man. MT. Mattis. has returned from his business trip to Los Angeles where he conferred with the Santa Fe officials in regard to the location of the Santa Fe shops and round house. and the pro- perty upon which they will be located. The land has been se- cured by option. The tract that is included in the option contains a number of lots owned by Tbos. Boardman. and a block or so owned by John StaIick, and a number of single lots owned by various citizens of the city and camps. also a forty acre tract owned by J. A. Sheldon. The business men of Gallup. or at least a part of them, have guar anteed the release of all lands held by individuals if the Santa Fe shows that they will start operations in the near future.
 There is now every reason to believe that Gallup will have one of the finest S5 stall round houses and a good string of shops along the line, within the next year. After the company once starts to d , it's building it does not take long for the work to be complet- ed. There is no town on the coast lines thatis more deserving of respectable and commodious buildings than Gallup. ' Carbon City News.
