Representatives of twelve Bavar-

The Peoples Parties, have signed II
joint protest expressing regret over
the appointment, warning the govern

letter in the Frankfurter Ieitung de

integrity of DR.. Rjlthenau is unGues-

RADIUM FOUND IN THE CONGO
Belgian Society Erects Factory in
Antwerp District for Treatment
Of Metal

Further Information in regard to
radium in the Congo is quoted by
Science from the bulletin of the Belgian
chemical society To the effect that
the sample of minerals asSayed by
Professor Schoep Of the University
or Client yielded 424 kg. Of uranium
and 139 mig. of radium to the ton. The
minerals came from the Upper Kat
anga, in the concession of the Union
Miniere, which has intrusted the in
dustrial treatment of the uranium to
the Belgian Societe Generate Metal
lurgique de HObOken, which has nut
up a factory for the purpose in the
Antwerp district.
Other deposits of the same minerals
have been found at other points speci-
fed, and Professor Schoep has found
two new kinds OF minerals among
them, extremely radioactive. He has
named one "curite" and the other
"kasolite," and announces that the
crystals are soluble in nitric acid. and
the radium salt can then he extracted
from the fluid without passing through
the usual calcination process.

BRIDGES ON IMPROVED ROADS
Few Structures Less Than 10 Feet Are
Now Being Constructed, Say
Engineers.

Few highway bridges with a width
Of roadway less than 10 feet are now
being constructed on improved roads,
according to engineers of the bureau
OF public roads Of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In the
past some 10 feet and good many OF
16-fOOt width have been constructed
in an effort TO economic, but It has
proved shortsighted economy. Only
one line of traffic can pass over -
foot roadway. and 1G feet Of width
will not accommodate two lines in
safety. Many of the states, such as
Pennsylvania. New Jersey. Ohio and
Massachusetts, have found it advisable
in replacing old bridges on important
roads to make them wide enough to
accommodate three and four lines OF
traffic
