will depend largely on the extent OF
the digestion and the quantity of
tungsten in the specimen tested. II
only a little tungsten trioxide has
been formed, the blue will be light, or
even indistinguishable, and viii be
followed by violet and later by brown
If a considerable quantity of the tri-
oxide has been formed the blue will
be very deep and the violet will prob
ably not appear, a muddy brown color
succeeding the blue more or less
quickly. Metallic tin, a piece of tin
from a tin can, or even piece of SOL
der may be used instead of the zinc,
but they do not act so readily, and
the reactions, except with pure tip, are
not always so satisfactory.

RADIUM.
Peculiarities of the Metal and Its Usual
Form.

Form.
Radium is a metal and is described
as having a white metallic luster. 1t
has been isolated only once or twice
and few people have seen it, Radium
is ordinarily obtained from it's ores in
or bromide, and it is in the form of
these salts that it is usually sold and
used. These are all white or nearly
white substances, whose appearance Is
no more remarkable than common
salt or baking powder Radium is
found in nature in such exceedingly
small quantities that it is never WISH
BILE even when the material is examin-
ed with microscope. Ordinarily rad
ium ore carries only small fraction
of grain per ton of material and radium
will never be found in large quantity
because it is formed by the decay of
uranium, a process which is wonder
fully slow, and radium itself decays
and changes to other elements so rap
idly that it Is impossible for it to ac-
cumulate naturally in visible masses.
Minerals that carry radium, however,
are fairly easy to determine. One Of
them. pitchblende, as generally found,
is a black mineral about as heavy as
ordinary iron, but much softer The
principal radium mineral carnotite,
a bright canary-y yellow color, and is
generally powdery. There are other
radium bearing minerals of less impor-
lance.

Imports.
During 1914, as shown by the figures
by the division of statistics,

the imports of tungsten bear

299 tons, valued at $139,6S7 and 21S

Field Test for Tungsten.
In general, tungsten minerals are
found in regions of granite rocks,
though some are found where the
granular rocks do not appear at the
surface in close connection with the
veins. The tungsten produced in the
United States and in other countries
is obtained almost wholly from areas
Of quartzose granular igneous rocks or
from areas intruded by them.
The mineral to be tested should first
be finely pulverized and then digested
with hydrochloric (muriatic) acid.
This test may be made in Gny receipt
acle which is not attacked by the acid
"a tumbler, bottle, teacup or test
tube If the mineral is scheelite the
digestion will need to be carried on
but few minutes, but wolframite,
hubnerite or ferberite should be boiled
for 10 to 20 minutes, or be heated to
a lower temperature for longer time.
If the specimen tested contains tung-
stem minerals, yellow powder, tung-
stem trioxide, WOO, will be produced,
though it may be masked by iron or
other impurities. On the addition of
metallic zinc the solution will turn in
digo blue if sufficient tungsten triox-
ide has been formed. The depth of

The survey receives many letters of
inquiry about tungsten and its uses,
so the following notes may be of gen.
eral interest.
Tungsten, like iron, copper, zinc or
silver, is a metal. 1t has a very high
specific gravity or density, which
ranges from 1913 to 20.2, the figures
depending on its treatment. The spe-
cific gravity of iron is 8. A piece of
tungsten therefore weighs more than
twice as much as q piece of iron of
the same size. The melting point of
tungsten is so high that it can not be
melted directly into a mass, and for
this reason it is obtained from its ores
only as a metallic powder By indi-
rect means it can be worked into solid
masses ranging from wire 0.O0O2 inch
(0005 milimeter) in diameter to more
equidimensional pieces weighing or
pounds. The processes used will
probably be improved so that larger
pieces may be made if there is suffi-
cient call for them. Tungsten does
not oxidize readily and is practically
insoluble in the common acids. Its
hardness varies from As (razor steel
is to $50 to 8. 1t is therefore hard
er than quartz, which has a hardness
of 7. 1t is, in fact, as hard as topaz.
Tungsten forms alloys with other
metals and gives to steel both hard
ness and the property of holding its
temper under higher temperatures
than will carbon steel, and it is most
largely used as an alloy of steel.
About 1000 tons of tungsten tool
steels are made every year in this
country.
It's high melting point, the tough
ness and fineness of the wire into
which it may be drawn, and its be-
havior when an electric current is
passed through it make it the best
known material for incandescent
electric lamp filaments, so that for
this use it is rapidly driving other
material from this market. Incandes-
cent lamps filled with nitrogen or ar
gon and having tungsten filaments
are also taking the place of arc
lamps for many purposes. Tungsten
filament lamps are made in great
numbers, but the filaments are so fine
that an astonishingly small quantity
of ore supplies the industry. Fink
states that "the total production of
tungsten lamps, both vacuum and gas
filled, in the United States in the year
1914 reached 100000,000 equivalent
to tons of tungsten concentrates)
The exports were 1,34S,000 lamps val
ued at $278O0O"
For alloying steel both tungsten
and ferrotungsten are used. Ferro-
tungsten is an alloy of iron and tung-
stem, carrying so to IS per cent tung-
stem. 1t is claimed that less tungsten
is lost when it is introduced into steel
in ferrotungsten and in general fer
rotungsten can be made more easily
than tungsten.
Tungsten is used largely instead of
platinum and platinum iridium alloys
as contact points in spark coils, vol
tage regulators, telegraph relays and
spark plugs for automobiles. 1t Is
also used for photograph needles
Fink has described other uses and
nossih1e uses a follows:
For standard weights tungsten is
also we'll suited, since wrought tung-

Apparently the Red Sox are the only en-

Starting in 1901, Pittsburgh won three
years in row. That showing was the

The Giants won in 1904 and 1906; they
| won again in 1911, 1919 and 1918. That
| was proof enough Of class, beyond all argu-
| ment.
The two great machines were the Cubs
and Mackmen. The Cubs, starting In 1906,
won four pennants in five years. The
Mackmen, starting in 1910, did the same.
These are the only two clubs in the
last 25 years able TO make such showing
There isn't club In the National League

League to be mentioned In the same class

season through breaks in the luck, through
playing beyond normal speed for stretch.
But no ball club Is winning three pennants
in row or four pennants in five years

lineup But the Braves yet have to prove
their class by winning another flag.
