AirpIane Surgery.

Great interest has been aroused In
Paris by the trial flight Of new air
plane, invented by the engineer Nemi-
rovsky and DR.. TilmOnt.
The new machine, which is called
the |taerochir." is designed to place
promptly at the service of men wound
ed in warfare, or persons injared in
serious accidents, all the resources OF
medical, science. and if necessary to
carry them back to the hospital.
Everything required for surgical and
X-ray work is provided on board the
airplane, including an operating table,
and even an ingeniously constructed
collapsible tent which can be erected
on the scene of an accident within two
or three minutes.
Two models of the "aerochir'' have
been designed, one capable of carry
ing four injured persons in addition to
the necessary apparatus, and the other
much larger, capable of carrying a
medical and surgical staff Of ten per-
sons, and bringing back, If necessary,
as many as twelve injured.

Mrs. Hughes. wife of the Australian

One she is fond of telling concerns a

Among the questions put by the mis-

Radium Production in United States

Radium Production in United States.
C. H. viol, writing in Science, states
that the total production of radium
element in the United States down to
1919 is about IS grams, which is
probably more than half the total
radium produced in the world. Dur
ing the war, with no carnetite exports,
the greatest part Of the worlds ra-
dunn supply has been produced in this
country. In 1918 the United States
produced 1876 grams. With regard to
a discussion that has occurred con-
cerning the amount Of radium that
can be produced from the carnotite
fields. Mr.. Viol says that the carno-
tite holdings of the Standard Chemical
company, which comprise about 35O
claims and are the largest holdings un-
der the control Of single concern
are estimated to be capable of yield
ing at least 500 grams Of radium.-
