Precious salt.

What is known as "radium" is
radium salt. usually either radium
bromide or radium chloride, somea
times radium sulphate. Tiny grains
of these salts are extremely precious
and are usually sealed up in little glass
bulbs.
The radium in one of the first bulbs
that were received in London had a
curious history. A physician in Port
land place was applying the bulb to a
patient when he accidentally let it fall.
and a moment after crushed 1t under
his foot. The value of the radium to
the physician was very great. He re-
moved his boots from his feet and cut
out a square of his valuable carpet.
He had boots and carpet burned, and
out of the ashes refined the original
radium salt.

EARTH'S RICHEST RUBY MINES
Center of Worlds Store of Precious
Stones Is Known to Be Located
in Upper Burma.

The worlds ruby center is Mogok, in
upper Burma, some 20 miles north of
Mandalay. Here are the great ruby
mines, one of Burma's most valuable
monopolies, says the London Weekly
Telegraph. Indeed, not only does this
country produce the finest Of these
covetel gems, but they are recovered
In such quantities as to enable her to
dominate the market.
Few are aware that, weight for
weight, a ruby is more valuable than
diamond. 1t is estimated that one the
color of pigeons blood. weighing five
carats, will sell for ten times the value
of diamond of the same weight. Fur
thermore, the price increases with the
size of the stone.
AS the "byon," or earth containing
the coveted gems, is taken from the
ground it is placed In great revolving
tub. Here it is screened and all loose
earth removed by water. The residue
is then tipped on the sorting table. A
white overseer carefully examines the
pile. selecting the true gems from the
worthless debris. If he's lucky he may
at one sorting find gems worth many
thousands of dollars, while on the 9TH
er hand the yield may be but hun
dred dollars or two. The yearly out
put of rubies from these mines totals
about 100000.

PROBE
Of STATE AFFAIRS
WILL DETERMINE HOW PUBLIC
FUNDS WERE SPENT DURING
LAST TWO YEARS.
Former Adjutant General Moody to
Appear Before State Affairs Com
mittee to Explain Expendi-
ture of Funds.

Boise.-It developed at the session
of the lower house on January 28 that
the probe Of the legislature, demanded
by Governor Davis at the previous
days session, is not going to be con-
fined to the adjutant generals de-
partment alone, but is to include all
state departments and state institu-
tions, to determine how public funds
were spent during the last two years.
A resolution to this effect was passed
by the house. 1t empowers the state
affairs committee to call witnesses,
employ additional clerks and spend
such sums as are necessary to con-
duct the investigations.
The adjutant generals department
came into the limelight again, when
an attempt was made to have a mo-
ton passed to request former Adju-
tant General Moody to appear before
the state affairs committee to explain
vouchers found in the department Of
the latter covering transportation and
expenses for trips made to various
parts Of the state and to Washington
and to Camp Lewis. and for automo-
bile supplies and office expenses.
The house voted down the motion,
on the ground that the state affairs
committee had power to subpoena Wit
nesses to give testimony and could
exercise it. Representative Moody
said he was perfectly willing to abide
by the fairness of the members of the
state affairs committee. 1t is reported
an effort will be made to unseat him
in the house. A long list of vouchers
| relating to expenses listed by the state
affairs committee can be explained,
Moody declares.
Phe house passed the Caribou coun-
ty division bill, creating another coun-
ty out of part of Bannock, with Soda
Springs as the county seat. The vote
was 4S for to 10 against. Young of
Ada county served notice that he
would move a reconsideration of the
vote by which the bill carried.
Among the more important bills in
troduced are the following: Provided
that eight hours shall constitute a
days work for women in all Industries
in Idaho; giving the right to the people
to amend the constitution of the state
creating historical museum in the
town of Franklin under the auspices
of the Idaho Pioneer association.

ty through international agreement al
Paris, was approved on January 81 by
the house naval committee in unani-
mously recommending a new three.
year building program of ten great bat
tleships and ten scout cruisers.
Administration leaders said the vote
was an endorsement of the program
announced by Secretary Daniels for an
American navy second to none, unless
limitations are imposed on all nations
by the peace conference Should an
agreement for such limitation be
reached, the bill provides that the
president may stop construction at his
discretion.
While the program, as recommended,
does not authorize the six battle
cruisers and 130 other small craft
asked for by the department, it was
explained that it had been decided to
postpone construction of these vessels
until naval experts could reach agree
ment as to their designs based on ex-
perience gained in the war.
Besides providing for the new build
ing program, the bill authorizes a
temporary naval force of 225,000 men,
exclusive of officers and carries an
amendment by Representative Oliver
of Alabama, directing that men who
enlisted in the navy during the war
for the regular term of four years shall
be regarded as having enlisted for the
period of the war, if they apply for
such change of status before next
July 1.
