LAUGHS At POWER OF MAN
Mother Nature Occasionally Reminds
Puny Mortals That Her Supren,.
acy Remains Unqusstioned.

Radium has indeed force which is
as terrible as it is, wonderful. It can
be carried from place to place only
when encased In a receptacle having
leaden walls several inches thick.
Even then the carrier will do we'll to
swing the receptacle. as he walks, lest
holding It in a still position should
permit the powerful rays to find their
way through the lead and. into his
body. When radium rays are applied,
the radium is placed in a. specially
prepared room with slit in the wall
whereby the rays are made to fall only
upon the precise spot desired. The
handler of radium, If he desires safe
ty, must wear gloves lined with lead,
and if he would avoid injury to his
eyes he will wear spectacles of glass
containing lead salts. Even armed with
cumbersome lead-lined gloves, radium
salts must be touched only with
pincers and must be handled only up
on wooden tables lined with lead. This,
then, is the character of the substance
which delicate Frenchwoman brought
forth from a mass Of waste ore and
which she has tanned until it is ac-
cepted as the most wonderful curative
substance the world ever has known.
She has tanned it, but grim old I'M.
sentimental nature, in characteristic
jest. while letting mankind have
knowledge and use of it, in that sameI
moment Of generosity, let's him feel as
we'll how terrific is the force with
which she let's him play. = Hartford

Investigation of Georgia.

railroad, will consist in experiments
to devise better refining methods and
TO test the physical properties of the
different separations obtained. For
this purpose a small size refining
plant is being constructed at the
Ceramic Station.
This equipment is capable of hand
ling from SOC to 1000 pounds at a
time. Evidently some of the clays will
snow promise of being valuable for
I.l'tery making purposes. After the
laboratory tesg5 are completed by the
bureau of Mines 40 Ut 4o3 pounds
of such clays will be taken into a
commercial pottery and made up into
pottery wares under practical work
ing conditions, and the behavior of
such clays as to working properties,
color, percentage losses, etc, will be
carefully studied.
The white clays and bauXites Of
the coastal plain are closely asso-
ciated and this close association indi-
Gates that the beauxites were derived
from the alteration of kaolins. De-
posts are found which vary all the
way from kaolin on the one hand
to bauxite on the other. Some of
these materials, which are higher in
alumina than kaolin show better re-
fractory properties than No. fire
clays. Such clays, termed "Baruitic
clays" undoubtedly would be most
valuable for the manufacture of re-
fractories superior to those now be-
ing made from fire clays. The re-
frattory properties of such materials
are to be studied, such as fusion tenn
perature, load carrying capacity, re-
sistance to spalling. Chemical analy-
SEES of the Georgia materials are to
be made since it is important to know
the different components making up
the clays and bauxites.

The kaolin and bauxites of GeoT-
gia occur principally in the Coastal
, Plain, the belt running diagonalIy
across the state from east to west.
The railroad lines of the Central Of
Georgia reach about so per cent of
the white clays and bauXites of this
region. The white clays are being
mined at a few points, principally at
Gordon, Claymont, Mcintyre and But
Ter. These clays are sold principal
" to the filler trade. Bauxite mining
has been carried on in the Cuthbert,
ToOmsboro and Andersonviile dis
tricts and the bauXite is used princi-
pally in the manufacture of alum,
abrasives and aluminium. The value
of the clays and bauXites for ceramic
purposes is little known.
English china clay is preferred to
Georgia kaolin by many American
potters. In comparing the two it is
found that the English clay disin-
tegrates in water more readily, pro-
duces a body which casts more salts
gactorily, gives lower drying and
bisque losses and requires less linseed
oil to produce spreading condition
for oilcloth and produces paper of
better finish and more resistent to
moisture. In preliminary work 10y
the Bureau of Mines it was found
that after calcining Georgia kaolin
to low temperatures $500 to 600 de-
grees Centigrade) it possesses prop
critics similar to the English china
clay, i. e., its absorptive properties
are decreased to that of the English
china clay and the rate Of capillary
flow and the permeagiiity of water is
increased. Further tests are to be
made to determine it's commercial
feasibility. The effects of ageing the
calcined clay in air and water are
to be studied to determine how far
the calcined clay will revert to its
original state and also to study the
varieties produced by different cal
cination tempers.
