Show Belgium Guards Radium Fear of bandits lias caused Belgian interests, who own a large tract of radium-bearing rock in central Africa, to make special plans to guard the property. Armed sentries are on duty night and day, lines of tangled barbed wire have been placed around the district, and only a few persons besides those employed are permitted to handle the precious metal. Every piece of radium rock is carefully care-fully checked before it leaves in sealed trucks to be shipped to the extraction extrac-tion works. |
