Radiunn Rarest, Most Valuable
 Of Elements

Before the war, practically all the radium in the world was obtained from pitchblende deposits in Austria. The gift of a ton of pitchblende to Mime. Curie by the emperor of Austria, made 1t possible for that renowned Polish scientist to isolate radfum and study it's properties.
 The present price of radiun is said to be S3,260,0 900 per ounce. as com pared to $150 per ounce for platinum. the next valuable element Radium is very rare and obtained under the greatest difficulties. One ton of ore has to be treated with a ton of chem icals and 90 tons of water before 1t yields four milligrams of radium, a quantity smaller than the he ad of pin.
 Scientists say there is not a pound of radium in the world and probably will not be even during the lifetime of the next generation
 The potential energy of one gram of radium is sufficient to raise the tenn perature. of d ton of water from the freezing to the boiling point.

her look of surprise and sympathy, he

Andrew Jackson had married a
woman who was devoted Christian.
He cherished the memory Of her re-
ligious life as he did that of his mo-
ther. He built small brick church
on the grounds Of '"The Hermitage. -

OF his family gathered for worship.

reached Waxhaw. The schools were
closed and Andrew and his brother
Robert were at home when Tarleton
and his dragons thundered along the
red roads of Waxhaw and dyed them
a deeper red with the "blood of the
surprised militia" Their oldest broth
er. Hugh, had already given bis life
in behalf of the colonial cause. The
old meeting house at Waxhaw was
speedily converted into hospital, and
here the worst cases of the 150 wound
ed men, victims of Tarleton's dragons,
were carried. Mrs. Jackson was one
of the first women of the settlement
to turn in and help alleviate the dis
tress of her wounded countrymen.
Robert and Andrew were among the
young patriots who volunteered to
ward off the Tories at Waxhaw. Both
were taken prisoners. A Tory officer
commanded Andrew to blacken his
boots. Andrew replied, Sir, am a
prisoner of war, and claim to be treat
ed as SUCH" The officer glanced at
him like wild beast, and aimed des-
perate blow at his head. Andrew
broke the force of the blow with his
hand, and received two wounds, a
deep cash on the head and another on
the hand. The scars from these he
carried to his dying day. The officer
turned next to Robert and ordered
him to blacken his boots. Robert saw
the wounds of his brother and the
fresh blood pouring from them, and
had every reason to fear like assault
in case he should refuse. But he did
refuse, and the officer dealt him q
terrific blow on the head. which
leveled him to the floor and disabled
him. An aged relation, commenting
on the scene, said, 81 reckon Andy
thought of it at New Orleans.'' The
two wounded Jackson boys suffered
intensely as a consequence of the in
human treatment of the Tories. Both
boys, soon after, were stricken with
smallpox. The devoted mother heard
of their pitiable plight. Prisoners
ounded-smallpoy. She stroye with
all the might of mother-love for their
eieliverance. and finally succeeded in
effecting an exchange Of prisoners.
When the mother first saw her two
boys in their pitiable condition the

and heroic mother heard CT the suffer-
ings of the prisoners of war at Char

lesion, and volunteered her services.
There were no Red Cross nurses in
those days, but there were devoted
women who were pioneers of Red
Cross work. Tradition says that Mrs.
jackson made the long journey of a
hundred and sixty miles on foot. An
drew jackson, however, always doubted
that. He thought some way was surely
provided to get his mother to her
destination. But her rough Journey
through life was nearly over. The
widowed mother had given two sons,
ooth under age, to the cause of lib
erty; one more sacrifice was to be
exacted of her. She was seized with
ship fever, and soon after died, a
martyr to her country's welfare. She
died IN the service of her country as
truly as the colonists who shed their
blood at Bunker Hill or Lexington.
Andrew never saw his mother again.
The only legacy this poor mother had
to leave her orphan son was a pa
thetic little bundle of clothes which
was sent to him at Waxhaw-a stain
less character, and the memory of a
good mother and faithful Christian.
Andrew mourned deeply over his great
loss.
jackson was now an orphan and
penniless. But two years later, when
only twenty, he was admitted to the bar.
Andrew Jackson's military career
began when a lad of Ia. He was
captured by the British in 1871; mall
treated and left to die of smallpox,
his release from prison secured by his
mother, and his life spared largely
through her efforts. In the War of
1872 he organized $500 militia and was
commissioned major general of the
militia. In 1914 he became a major
general in the regular army. He
struck the decisive blows in the South
which brought the War of 18l2-l4 to a
close. He won the battle of New
Orleans on January 8, 1916, and the
war was at an end. Jackson came to
the presidential chair as a military
hero. But he was much more than
that. He possessed great native pow
ers and inflexible honestJ and an in
tegity unassailable. e..
Andrew Jackson, to the end of his
days, cherished with deepest veneration
the memory or his mother. He was
little given to shedding tears, but he
did shed them once on a memorable
occasion on account of his mother. 1t
was during his candidacy for the presi-
dency in 1928. The fioodgates Of
vituperation and slander opened upon
him. So malignant was party ami
mostly that not only was he assailed
with vindictive falsehood. but also his
wife and his mother. Passing strange
