stantly being discovered for this ma
terial. A company is now in forma-
tion for the manufacture of lumin-
Gus house numbers in large quantities.
The best known use is in the lu-
minizing of lock and watch dials and
as locaters for electric switches. Some
of the later applications are its use as
keyhole locaters, on airplane and auto
mobile instruments, ships compasses
and telegraph dials, mine signs, steam
cages, pistol sights, poison bottle indi-
Gators, bedroom slipper buttons, fur
niture locator buttons, theatre seat
numbers, automobile steering-wheel

for toy dolls and animals.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1920-12-30

The incoming and the outgoing of
the tides has often been the cause of
much speculation. Scientists claim the
reason is due to the gravitational
influence of the moon, which, so
to speak, draws or lifts the water
from the depths on the same principle
that a pump lifts water. And as with
pump, the water rushes in to fill the
space left; so the shallow water near
the shore rushes out to fill the extra
space caused by the rising of the
water, on the principle that water
seeks its own level.-Ex.

quantities as four -billionthS of
gram of radium, are used to check
the content of the material after each
operation. After passing through
scores of vats, strainers, compressors,
evaporators, and the like, about eight
carloads of ore have been reduced to
less than a thimble-full of radium.
This represents about four-ffths of
all the radium in the ore. One-ffth
has been lost in refining. Consider
able quantities of uranium and vana-
dunn are a by-product of the process.
In making the luminous material
used on watches, zinc sulfde or crys-
tallized zinc is used as base. 1t has
been found that zinc crystals glow
under the influence of radium. Ex-
periments along this line were con-
Quoted in Europe as early as 1910.
This glow is caused chiefly by the
bombardment of minute particles to
which the zinc is subjected irf the
presence of radium. 1t is necessary
to have the zinc sulfde of great purity
and for this reason it also is manufac-
tufed in the company's plant under
careful chemical control.
The amount of radium required
has been determined by long series
of experiments. The more radium
used, the brighter the glow, but the
quicker the deterioration. But, it has
been found, the luminosity is not in
exact proportion to the amount of

radium used and a quantity has been
determined which gives the greatest
luminosity and the longest life for the
least money.
The commercial material now
available is guaranteed for the life of
the instrument on which it is used.
1t is supplied to the manufacturer as
a yellow powder. 1t is mixed with
an adhesive and applied to the work
at hand with the tip of camel's hair
brush. Care is taken not to brush
the material but to place it on the
surface drop by drop, so as not to
crush the zinc crystals. 1t is inter-
esting to note that the deterioration
of the substance is not due to failure
of the radium, but to a breakdown of
the zinc crystals, due to the lombard
ment of radium particles. No known
substance will stand up under this
bombardment. New uses are con-

ducefs has its mines in the picturesque
Long Park plateau in Paradox Val
ley, Colorado. The ore is hauled to
the railroad, distance of ffty-eight
miles, by six-horse wagons over land
even too rough for the use of light
motor trucks. From here the ore is
carried 1900 miles by rail to plant
in Orange, N. ]. Almost enough
chemicals to equal the weight of the
ore are required in the reduction pro-
cess and it is for this reason that the
ore is not reduced at the mines, to-
gether with the fact that the necessary
labor cannot be obtained there.
The reduction process is a very
complicated one of chemical repara-
ton and elimination. 1t differs from
other ordinary chemical processes
only in the refinement of control
necessary. Electroscopes capable of
detecting the presence of such minute

RADIUM---MOST VALUA-
BILE METAL
By H. II. Mount

n ADIUM has heretofore been
X magic word, associated with the
laboratory-the plaything of
science. But Sciences plaything of
today is the commonplace commodity
of tomorrow and already radium is
the basis of rapidly growing indus
try. 1t is perhaps the newest of all
our industries and certainly one of the
least understood.
So far there are only three of four
companies in the whole world pro-
ducing radium commercially and the
product of the largest of these is about
an ounce of the precious metal year.
But this is no Insignificant amount,
when it is considered that the total
amount of pure radium in the world
today is only about five ounces and
that the market value is $4,000 a
granl-and gram is one twenty
eighth of an ounce.
There are only two practical uses
so far discovered. The first is for
medicinal purposes and the second is
in the production of the luminous
material used on watch and clock
dials and as locaters for electric
switches, etc. 1t will be surprise to
many to discover that so highly val
liable material could actually be
used in the production of two-dol-
lar watch or twenty-five cent loca-
ter. And it will be just as surprising
to learn than it is not the radium that
glows, but other substances, which be-
come luminous in the presence of very
minute quantities of radium. AL
ready more than 100000 watches
and clocks alone have been treated
and hardly a third of an ounce of
radium has been used in the produc-
ton of all of the luminous material
required.
Radium has also been found to
have a valuable medicinal effect in the
treatment of cancer, tumor, and other
malignant and many lesser diseases. =
To meet rapidly growing demand
from the medical profession for the
substance, there has just been estab-
lished, with offices in New York's
financial district, the National Ra-
dunn Bank" The 'bank" has been
founded with an initial deposit Of
$375,OOO worth of radium-a mere
pinch-and it is the plan to loan this
for medical use, just as though it were
money. Satisfactory security will be
required and interest will be charged
on the value of the radium borrowed.
The Capital will be increased as the
necessity appears.
So far as is known, no radium is
being produced in commercial guam
tity outside of this country at present.
This is largely because all of the
known radium deposits are in bur
western deserts and such foreign COM
panies as were receiving ore had their
supply cut off by the war. Nearly
all of our radium deposits are in al
most inaccessible spots, but the de-
posits are near the surface and are
easily mined. Location of the mines,
however, is very expensive.

OLD INDUSTRIES IN VIR-
GIN SOIL
By Mr.. W. J. Nee.

IF THE average person living in
the vicinity of the Salton sea in
southern California before the
overflow of the Colorado river, was
told that this sea would, in 1915, con-
tain marketable fish, he would have
derided this prophesy and pointed out
certain statistics as; proof that the Sal
ton sea would never contain market
able fish. His argument no doubt
would have been convincing as the
Salton sea is the lowest body of water
on earth with the exception of the
Dead sea in Palestine its water
is nearly five times the salinity of
ocean water. Yet, few years after
the overflow of the Colorado river,
the salt water mullet desirable food
fish, made its appearance in the sea,
and today there is being carried on
profitable fishing industry in what
was once pool of brine" in the
midst of a sweltering desert.
1t this same individual was told
that the territory surrounding the
Salton sea would one day produce,
throughout the year, vegetables, grains
and fruits of a quality equal to the
productions of our most fertile land,
he would have considered his infor-
mant fit subject for an asylum and
pointed out to him the absurdity of
raising anything but thirst, in this
arid desert where the temperature
varied from 125 to 130 degrees
fahrenheit.
But man has given us another ex-
ample of his ingenuity and the re-
elimination of these great desert val
leys of southern California-compris-
ing some 5000 square miles-is now
reality. AS the food water of the
Colorado river freshened the saline
water of the Salton sea and made pos
sible a profitable fishing industry,
man, through his indefatigable eff
forts and the application of modern
engineering has made possible a date
industry that will eventually place
these now amazingly fertile valleys
on par with the lower valley of the
Nile, which has long furnished the
bulk of the worlds supply of dates.
The date palm is the most highly
priced of all the palms. Aside from
its luscious and nutritious fruit, which
contains some 90 per cent of sugar, it
yields what is known as palm Cab
bage" which is also highly esteemed
as food, and the fbrous part at the
base of the palm is used in the manu-
facture of cordage.
Compared to other fruit industries
the production of dates requires very
little skill on the part of the grower.
One writer states: "The date palm
must have its feet in the water and
its head in the fire" That is, it
must have an intense sun heat and an
abundance of water. This constitutes
its chief requisites for a period of
three years, when it yields its first
fruit.
1t will be interesting to note the
female tree alone bears fruit, hence,
great care must be page 8. Dol. s)
