SUBSTITUTE FOR RADIUM.

Important Discovery Made by a Mis-
souri, Chemist.
A perfect substitute for radium can
be produced through a chemical pro-
cess which purifies mesothorium' &C
cording TO G. f. Breckenridge and DR..
Herman Schundt of the department
of chemistry of Missouri who have
been conducting experiments in con-
junction with Dr. R. B. Moore OF the
United States bureau of mines.
Mesothorium is a by-product in the
manufacture of nantes for gas lamps
and is found in a monazite ore Of
Brazil
The radium substitute can be used
effectively as a radium substitute for
medicinal purposes. it is said.

PLATINUM.
United States Still Dependent Upon
Foreign Countries.

United States Still Dependent Upon
Foreign Countries.
The United States is still dependent
on foreign countries for its supply of
platinum. The small output of crude
platinum from domestic mines in
creased from SAT ounces in 1918 to S24
ounces in 1919 but the total quantity
of refined platinum and allied metals
recovered from foreign and domestic
ores by domestic refners decreased
from 59753 ounces in 1918 to 45.1O9
ounces in 1919. Only 11,759 ounces of
refined platinum was derived from
domestic ores in 1919. On the other
hand the imports of platinum and
allied metals increased from 56,753
ounces i'll 1918 to 6SO54 ounces in
1919, nearly half of which came from
Colombia. The estimated worlds
production increased from 62,2S3
ounces in 1918, the lowest recorded
output to 67,1SO ounces in 1919. but
was still far below that of preceding
years.
During the war SO per cent of the
platinum metals consumed in this
country was used in essential indus
tries chemical, electrical and den
tad but in 1919 only 40 per cent was
so used, and the quantity used for
jewelry increased from II to Sc per
cent. The remaining small percent
age was divided among several min
or uses.
A report on platinum and allied
metals in 1919" by J. NJ. Hill, recent
ly issued by the United States geolog-
icaI survey, department of the inter-
Tor. shows the production, consump-
ton, market and prices and contains
notes on deposits and mining in the
United States and the leading foreign

TOWNS ON STATE LINES
NAMES TO FIT LOCATION
"MONlDA" A FAMILIAR EXAMPLE
ON MONTANA-lDAHO
BOUNDARY.

There is an old story that many OF
the names Of towns, sleeping cars
etc, were devised by a maniac who
had a passion for writing letters on
the walls OF his cell in meaningless
combinations. Travellers who at
tempt to pronounce some of the diff
cult names they see on cars are very
much inclined to believe this story.
The appropriate names for new
towns are often as hard to select as
car names and some OF those selected
are apparently as meaningless and
are as difficult to pronounce. For
many of them, however, there is a
reason. Many towns that lie partly
in one state and partly in another.
or close to the state line, have fine
sounding and distinctive names that
are made up of parts of the names of
the two states. The following are
names of this kind that appear on
maps issued by the United States ge-
illogical survey of the department of
the interior:
Arizmo, Arizona New Mexico.
Calada, California Nevada.
CaleXicO, California Mexico.
