Power of Radium.

The power of radium to reveal
things hidden is continually finding
some fresh application now it dis
closes the secret history Of old pic
lures, now it saves the fisherman from
wasting his pearl oysters, showing
him whether or not an unopened oys-
ter contains pearls. Lately its power
Of revealing it's own presence has been
made use of, bringing happy sequel
to what would have been an expen-
sive mistake indeed. A tube of ra-
dunn worth f1,200 was, by mistake,
thrown into a furnace. The one re-
sponsible, greatly concerned, called
in radium expert. They raked the
ashes out of the furnace and then
sprinkled them with zinc sulphide.
The radium caused the zinc sulphide
which had fallen on 1t to become lu-
minous, and, to the great relief Of all
concerned, the little tube was picked
out of the patch of light unharmed.-
