( At the moment of the foundation of the British Radium Institute comes an announcement of the beginning of a new British industry, the extraction of radium from pitchblende ore mined in Cornwall, Further interest attaches to this from the fact that the government of Austria has forbidden the exportation of radium. Most, if not all, forms of birthmark can be cured by means of radium, and the Lon- don Hospital, which makes a specialty of the use of the "element,™ has been successful in a number of cases. At present, the radium is applied by means of a tube in the manner shown in this illustration. It has been found, however, that it is infinitely better to apply the radium from a flat surface, and a few experimental instruments have been made. Some idea of the cost of the cure may be gained when il is said that ome of these new appliances, having a surface scarcely bigger than that of a postage stamp and containing 1.35 grains of radium, costs $1,800. France--at Nogentssur-Marne- larger deposits exist at the wtal mines in Bohemia.

England has known much about manufacture, and the Ger man metallurgists have been allowed to make a virtual corner, Small boys in St. Ives have kept pieces of pitchblende as curiosities, for when rubbed and held in a dark place it gives off a curious dull light. Onee a resident in the town sent a lump to a leading scientist for examination, and told that the ten pounds of pitchblende was worth $50 in gold. The work of drying the Trenwith mine will be a lengthy process, but plans are already being: made for the erection of pumping machinery. The water in the mineé opens up an- other prospect, It must be radio-ac- tive, and therefore have a high medical value. Thé worth of radium baths is well known in the treatment of cer- tain complaints, and there is a possi- bility of radium baths being estab- lished at St. There is one other point of view that may some day have to be considered in connection with radium. Dr. Jekvll, when he changed his personality, let loose a demon bevond the cont of man. What may the effect of the unloosing of a force of incredible pow- er such as must follow the production' of radium on a large seale? sady one serious problem has arisen, and that is the impossibility of keeping even a small quantity togeth 1 r, and so the amount in existence in widely distributed . particles.
