Geologists considered the for-mations to be more than likely to con-tain large deposits. Exploration went ahead chiefly between Embarrass lake and Birch lake, on the eastern end of the range. Yet not a single deposit of Iron ore of such size and character as to wsrrant mining had been turned In, according lo Lelth. In fact, the range had been rejected by many mining men who had examined It. This was largely due to the fact that they paid most attention to the eastern end, which contains "niHBiietlte," an ore in such close association with other rocks that It Is extremely dllllcult to work. Among the most persistent of the Mesahl prospectors were the celebrat-ed Merritt family of Ihiluth. These were eight brothers fain, perhaps the best known ; Alfred, U J., G C, T. B., A. B., J. K., and W. J. Merritt. Their faith in tlie range was the first to be rewarded In IS!), although the biggest strikes came in the year following. On November 10, 18!K, one of their test pit crews, In charge of Cupt. J. A. Nichols of . I nihil h, struck ore Just north of what Is how the famous Mountain Iron mine. This wus fol-lowed in 1S91 by the discovery of ore In what Is now the territory of the and Cincinnati mined. John McCaskill, an explorer, ob-served Iron ore clinging to the roots of an upturned tree on whnt Is now the Blwubik property. This led to test pitting, and test pitting by the Merrltts on the area of the Blwablk mine, under churge of W. J. Merritt, led to the discovery of this mine In August, 18!U. The Cincinnati mine was opened the same full and several others followed In 1802. The discovery of ore near what are now known as the towns of Virginia, Eveleth and Htbblng followed In rap-I- d succession. The excitement thut followed the original strike at Moun-tain Iron was greatly Increased by each succeeding find and In 18lr2 there came the Inevitable rush of prosiiec-tor- s and adventurers. The old days of western mining ramps were In northern Minnesota. The hardships of early prospectors who followed the big strikes on the Mesabl range were those of travel rather than of hardship In far dis-tant regions. Leaving the railroad at what was called Mesabl Station, they were compelled to travel 12 to 50 miles along "tote" roads that were all but Impassable. And when they plunged Into the wilderness they were confronted by a succession of fallen trees, huge, boulders and deep swamps that mnde'thelr lives wretched. Not-withstanding these hardships they covered the area and with the ex-plorers of rich mining compunics dis-covered most of the famous deposits of Iron ore In northern Minnesota. The sum that these discoveries have added to the national wealth must be meas-ured In billions. The American Radium Strike was "discovered," or RADIUM Isolated from other chem-ical elements In 1898 by the famous Polish scientist, Madame Curie, work-ing In her laboratory In Paris. For many years prior to that time western prospectors had been notic-ing the peculiar deposits of a sub-stance known geologically as car-notl-that existed in considerable quantities In the Colorado mountains. Following the discovery of radium and the revelation that carnotlte was a mineral from which milium could be extracted, once a commercial proc-ess was found that would separate the radium at a cost that was not prohibi-tive, new value was placed on these Colorado claims. It remained for a Pittsburgh family by the name of Flannery to make the plunge. Headed by one of the broth-ers, Joseph Flannery, they bought up a large number of Colorado carnotlte claims and began spending money In research that would show a way to get out the radium. As the years passed they came sev-eral times almost to the point of aban-doning this venture and are said ac-tually to have been Id meeting, plan-ning to stop work, when, In 1913, a technical man burst into the room with the announcement that .a proc-ess had been perfected. . Extraction of radium from carnotlte became an Important American In-dustry, measured on the minute scale that governs where radium Is con-cerned. America began to produce about 25 to 30 grams of pure radium annually. From 1013 until 1923 the Flannery radium concern dominated not only the American market but practically the world market for radium. In 1923, however, came more Important discoveries of radium In the Belgian Cong There radium was produced at a cost flKJcn below the American and In quantities approximately twice as large, four grams a month or Mar-ly fifty a year. Since the Congo depos-its, which come from a different ore from carnotlte. have been worked the production of this rare and mysterious element haa stopped In the United States. (ft 13T.

With the arrival of the summer season which so often gives marked attention to the fluttering chiffon frock, the for-mal gown of shimmering fabric gains an appeal of Individuality. The golden gown has long been pop-ularly chosen by the debutante age. It now demand special attention be-cause of Its simplicity of line and detail. There Is s note of youth in the formal gown selected by Porothy Msckalll, featured motion picture player, In a scene from the film, "The Road to Romance." Miss Mackalll's blond loveliness is at Its best In this shilling gown of golden appeal. A very straight silhouette has been maintained, while the gown gives the Impression of advancing a two-piec- e mode. As a matter of fuct, It Is In one piece but the bodice, cut long. Is stitched In ctrculsr outline so as to give the apiearance of a Jumper. The skirt Is very finely plaited and gives a pleasing fullness at the slightly-ruf-fled hem. The evening mode In general Is straight and simple, depending upon fringe, plaits, aprons, panels and dra-peries for grace. The bolero move-ment and movement is much used. The decolletage la fre-quently but the square and are also seen. There Is a noticeable absence of bead and crys-tal embroidery. Shimmering fabrics are gaining In appeal In the summer styles.

Tully ShIeIded;, Radio Receivers Plan Enhances Selectivity, Sensitiveness, and Amplification. The superior performance of com-pletely and carefully shielded recelv--' era has led to the widespread adop-tion of the phrase "fully shielded" In connection with any set having a stray piece of sheet metal In Its "Shielding," so writes Edgar Fells in Radio Broadcast Magazine, "Is generally considered as a sort of i electrical mudguard which prevents the spattering of undeslred electrons I '" upon neighboring circuits. So Indeed I Cr."-- It is, but the slgn!3cant Influeuce of shielding upon the performance of a " receiver la hardly indicated by this limited conception. The confinement of the energy In every element of the receiver strictly to the perform-ance of useful service, accomplished ! by effective shielding, tremendously enhances selectivity, sensitiveness, V and permissible amplification of the j Instrument, I The Principal Results. i "Specifically, the principal results j of complete shielding are: (1) Com pactness, permitting the embodiment ! of many atages of radio and audio amplification In receiver of small porportlons without destructive Inter- - actions; (2) greater permissible am--I; pllfleatlon because relatively large radio- - and currents can be conducted through circuits ! without consequent coupling to j neighboring stages; (3) stable neu tralisation throughout the wave-lengt- h range, because all unwanted indue- - tive and capacltatlve coupling la eliminated; (4) Increased selectivity A ' resulting frorq the use of more f stages of ampllflca- - tlon with consequently greater filter action; (5) uniform amplification throughout the wave-lengt- h range j ' without Increased tendency toward i at the higher frequen- - ; cies; (6) elimination of electro niag-- , netlc plch-u- p (except that coupling , purposely Introduced through the pri mary of each stage's transformer) from the antenna and succeeding J stages and, with It, the resultant ? broudened tuning; (7) reduced Influ ence of static and power line Induc-- , tlon because pick-u- p Is limited to - the antenna circuit Itself; (8) greater - mechanical rigidity attained by sup porting effect of substantial shield-ing and chassis- - construction; (9) foolproof wiring, largely concealed In enclosed cans; and (10) reduced losses due to dust and dirt on condenser plates and other exposed parts. Theory of Shielding. The theory of shielding Is quite simple," continues Radio Broadcast "Any circuit carrying a radio-frequen-current Is constantly sur-rounded by electromagnetic and elec-trostatic fields. The extent of these fields Is proportional to the energy in the circuits. The greater the am-plification, the greater ,the need for shielding or, in Its absence, for great spacing between stages. With small amplification, no shielding Is essen-tial, although It may serve usefully even In a receiver consisting of but one stage of radio amplification com-bined with a detector. A receiver with four efficient stages ef y amplification, however, ap-proaches the limit of practical ampli-fication and also the upper limit of energy which practical shielding can confine. "Experimenters who have tried to use shielding without a thorough un-derstanding of its proper application have been known to argue against It because they have obtained poorer results by adding shields In their re-ceivers. But to argue against any and ail shielding becauBe of an experience with misapplied shielding Is like con-demning a twelve-roo- house because V It cannot be built on a twenty-fiv- e foot lot Unless a receiver Is special-ly designed for It, shielding Is as likely to decrease efficiency as It Is to Improve It" No matter what we soy, most of us love summer best. The popularity of southern California proves It. One feature about democracies lal very marked : They ire not afraid M pile up the taxes. Make Stop-Pi- n for Dial From Brass Escutcheon Many of the elder makes of variable condensers did not have stops built Into them ; so that they may be turned so far that the blank edge of the dlat comes opposite the Indicating mark on the panel, and the'dlal setting can-not be read without retuning the con-denser. By cutting away the blank edge of the dial to a depth of about Inch, and leaving only the tsagraved edge (as shown In the illustration) a stop-pi- n can be used, which will pre-vent the dial from getting turned too far. The stop-pi- n should be driven INDICATING MARK srop pin CUT AWAV ; Dial Thus Cut Down Prevents Turn-ing Condenser Plates Too Far. Into the panel on exactly the opposite side of the dial from the Indicating mark on the panel. This stunt works particularly well with the old type of Itemler dials, because they are of bakellte and cut very easily. ' A stop-pi- n can be made out of a brass escutcheon pin with the head cut off. A hole which will Just fit the pin snugly can be drilled Into the pan-el opposite the indicating mark, and the escutcheon pin coated with glue and forced Into the hole. It should be allowed to project about Inch, and the top should be rounded. Radio News. Jersey, Soft and Downy, Is Favorite This Season Jersey, soft and downy as a kitten's fur, Is a very great favorite among the couturiers and their clientele. The texturt of this season's version of the material Is exceedingly fine and firm, but simple and light In style there are one-ple- and two-piec- e models, both of which are good, al-though the vogue of the two-piec- e or Jumper suit overshadows every other design. Various ingenious wraps of trimming are Illustrated to vary these suits. The strip of one or more colors together bordering the plain goods Is decorative and very fashionable, and needlework employed with restraint Is shown on .a number of the late models, ordinarily on suits - made of I kasha or wool crepe. Gold Again Is Smart for Jewelry for Summer The great popularity of gold Jewelry brings out new designs every day. Drecoll, in her midseason collection, presented necklaces of fine gold beads with five chains of graduated length attached to an oblong gold clasp iu back. Bracelets to match have ten strands of the gold beads attached to a long gold clasp almost three Inches wide. These very wide gold bracelets are very smart in Paris, and some-times two are worn on the same wrist often one on euch.

This Is one type of frock for warm weather wear that ' has hosts of friends. Dainty Parasols Have Place on Fashion Bill The summer season has brought an outburst of delightful parasols. Some of these are small, with quaint little chiffon flounces, precious and delicate things tinted like flower petals. The handles are long and colored to match the material. Other sunshades are flat, Uke Chi-nese umbrellas, with very large bright cofured ribs and narrow ribbon bruld-- i ed criss-cros- s style. The material for these ultra modern parasols is course wool and silk filet Some are made of embroidered ruf-fl- a straw, or of coarse linen with painted designs. Still others look like gigantic dahlias or extraordinary roses with detached petals colored on both sides. He Turns In on France to Find Out the Time When the studio director of 8LO, the radio station at Melbourne, Aus-tralia, awakened one morning recently he discovered his watch had stopped. He also found that the only clock In his suburban home had run down. Scheduled to be at the studio at a certain time and having no means of learning the hour of day he trad awakened he went to his receiving set and tuned In on various broadcast stations. Finally he got the station at Bordeaux, France, which sends out the time at regular Intervals. By cal-culating the difference In time be-tween Bordeaux and Melbourne he succeeded In learning, within five minutes, the correct time. He who lends money to a friend Is apt to lose faith, a friend and money, too. never have nervous (Farmers them. That's what the outdoors Exclusive Wave Length If Above 5,000 Watts It haa. been approximated roughly that the carrier wave of a 100-wa-station may create Intereference over a distance of 100 miles, a station over 600 miles, a 1,000-wa-tt station over 1,000 miles, and a 5,000-wa- tt station over 5,000 miles. There-fore, the deduction Is that 5,000-wa- 'I stations should not be assigned to the same wave length excepting when lo-- r cated on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the country. By the same process of reasoning, every station above 5,000 watts should be assigned an exclusive wave length. Scotch Plaid Designs in Vogue in the Evening Who would have believed that a .Scotch pluld design- - would ever be fashionable for evening dresses? Well, they are. The tartans are being fre--' quently worn but all the designs for evening are composed of squares In shades of the most popular pastel col-orings. Taffetas are the weaves cho-sen for these designs. Frequently these taffeta frocks are trimmed with narrow laces which blend harmoni-ously with the pastel shades. Mixing Remedies Scored Sometimes one remedy mixed with another occasions more trouble than anything else. If there are to be two remedies for one trouble they must harmonize, otherwise there Is bound to be a conflict In which the set itself ts likely to suffer. Radio owners are reluctant to tell a trouble shooter that they have already consulted some ooe else. This may be a natural tendency, bat It Is a very Illogical one nd It occasions unnecessary grief Coil Type Antenna An antenna Is one of-th- e coil type. Its chief virtue Is that It collects signals from all directions, as opposed to the loop antenna which picks maximum energy only from the direction in which It points, to the fixed outdoor aerial, which Is even less adaptable. It la claimed for the coll antenna that It provides greater selec-tivity. This, however. Is not true un-less such features also are true of the set Itself. Feathers Are Now Used to Decorate Millinery While some milliners are hallyhoo-In- g the ballybuntyls and Milan straws for small hots, others are advocatlug a rather radical departure in now shapes for headgear.
