Show LITTLE RADIUM ON EARTH. Not One-Tenth of an Ounce in the Whole World. Sir William Ramsey, tho noted scientist, declares that there is not one-tenth of an ounce of radium in tho wholo world," says tho Now York Times. If you can imagine getting that amount of radium together It would supply more energy than 250 tons of dynamite. Few persons who talk about radium and its components realize tho great scarcity of tho raw material for yielding yield-ing radium or tho exceedingly minuto particles used in experiments that havo astounded tho world. It Is Impossible Im-possible to say where tho future supply sup-ply of tho raw material is to como from. "I believe," says Sir William, "that In America carnotltto looks promising as tho basis for it. Cleav-itc, Cleav-itc, a mineral found in Norway, is also looked upon as a favorable source of supply." |
