NEED RADIUS IN
FIGHT-ON GANGER
Movement on Foot to Substitute
Meso-Thorium in Making
Luminous Materials.
MEDICAL DEMAND IS GREAT
Physicians and Chemists Feel That
Everything Possible Should Be
Done to Conserve Radium for
Therapeutic Purposes.
Schenectady. >*. 1'.—So great Is the
demand for radium In the treatment
of cancer and various malignant dis
eases, that a movement is now on foot
for withdrawing It as much as possi
ble from the manufacture of luminous
dials and other Industrial purposes,
so that It may he employed entirely
for the treatment of human ills.
How this Is being effected was told
by Dr. Harlan S. Miner, a Philadel
phia chemist, who addressed the east
ern section of the American Chemical
society at Union college In this city.
The substance advocated as a sub
stitute Is meso-thorlum. a by-product
obtained In the manufacfure of thori
um. a mineral which is extensively em
ployed In the manufacture of gas man
tles.
Comes From Brazil and India.
The ores from which thorium Is l
made are Imported largely from Bra-1
zll and India, although there Is a
limited supply available In the United
States. Meso-thoriuui can he seen at
night and therefore Is an Ingredient of
the paint which Is used In the mark
ing of clock faces, watch dials and
range Anders which can he read in
the dark. The demand for such ap
pliances In the trenches during the
European war greatly stimulated their
manufacture both here and abroad,
and although they are no longer mili
tary necessities they have an exten
sive vogue In these days of pence.
Thorium Is Itself mijio-nctlve. hut
Is chiefly valuable because when mixed
with one or two per cent of cerium
oxide and heated It gives out a power
ful radiance. Its use is Increasing he
cause municipalities are accepting a
heat tmlt rather than a candlepower
standard for Illuminating gas, and
the demand for mantles is likely to
extend. Consequently the facilities
for making the by-product meso-thorl
nm, which would not be commercially
practical of Itself, are being augment
ed.
"Companies which are now manu
facturing thorium." said f>r. Miner,
"have ever since 1011 been develop
lng*their outputs of meso-thorium. and
there has been special activity along j
those lines In the Ja<t few months, j
The demand for radium In the treat-1
ment of cancer and for other medical I
purposes Is now so great that bo'h
physicians and chemists feel that every
thing possible should be done to con
serve It exclusively for therapeutic j
purposes. If radium Is kept In the i
large hospitals and sanitaria for the
relief of malignant diseases. It natur
ally will be held Intact. The losses
from Its emanations are so slight that
It can be used for centuries without
any appreciable diminution in Its
properties. As everything is being I
done bv the medical profession to con-j
centrate the supply In this way. the|
consensus Is that It should be held i
where it will do the most sen-Ice to
humanity.
Causes Heavy Less.
"If various forms «>f nullum are ein-i
ployed In the rnnni:fa<tnre of luminous |
paint and for oth-r mechanical per-1
poses, there will raturrlly hi- n heavy |
loss of the element. Watches, clocks!
or penknives on which radium is!
used are likely to be lost, mislaid or I
destroyed, wh.-n the supply of the eie-1
ment becomes so widely distributed I
that the chances for recovering it |
would be slight.
"It happens, however, that there are'
also manufacturers of luminous mate-.
rials who are in a position to derive i
both radium and me«o-thorium from
certain minerals, am! they are inclined
to set aside their radium for medical!
purposes and to use the taeso-thorium.'
which Is chemically identified with:
radium, as a luminous material. A I-'
though there has been some difference
of opinion in the medical profession!
as to the value of radium In the treat-'
ment of maladies, there is much to In
dicate that It and radio-active sub- ]
stances generally have an important!
part In the practice of the healing art." j
Dr. Miuer also described at length
the uses of other rare earllis such asi
cerlutn and zirconium in the arts and]
sciences. lie held out the prospect J
that some of them, which hitherto had
been Imported from Austria and Ger ;
many, could he obtained on a limited'
scale from sources on the American1
continent.
An Old Turtle. *
Philadelphia.—A land turtle, known j
to exceed easily fifty years in age
lives on the Ritchie farms. Just north
of Hatboro, in the Old York Road
section. John Ritchie occupies a (
large farm on the Jacksonville road I
The other day he picked up the turtle j
in his gardens. Initialed on the shelil
were these words. "William Kline,
1870." Inquiry' developed that Wil-1
11am Kline was a farmer near John-1
sonville. Pa., In 1S70, that he found |
the turtle, initialed It and later re
leased it in a piece of woodland, an
acreage which is now part of the
Caixs.
FIX LABRADOR LIMITS
Discovery of Timber Suitable for
Pulp Starts New Inquiry.
| Boundary Line Between Newfoundland
' and Canadian Province of Quebec
Long in Dispute.
St. Johns, N. F.—Recent surveys of
Labrador which have disclosed im
mense' resources of timber suitable for
pulp and paper manufacture have led
• to a revival of efforts tc», bring about
a determination of the boundary line
between Newfoundland and the Cana
dian province of Quebec.
This line has never been laid down
by actual survey, and Its various defi
nitions as given in the documents Is
sued at Intervals In the last century
mid a half are so vague that govern
ment olliciais do not know just how
much of Labrador belongs to New
foundland and how much to Canada.
That Labrador is rich in mauy nat
ural resources, including enormous wn
ter power, has long been known, but
the. practicability of utilizing Its for
ests for paper making was not demon
strated until the world-wide paper
shortage led to exhaustive Investiga
tions of the territory.
This resulted In applications by pro
moters to the Newfoundland govern
ment for timber limits in Lnbrailor.
As these could not be acted upon un
til it was determined whether New
foundland owned the land In question,
representatives of this colony were
sent to London later in the summer to
discuss with eminent English couusel
j the preparation of a formal draft of
Newfoundland's IjtbAdor claims as
I opposed to those of Canada.
The <-i>;>st of Lnbrador was an
nexed to Newfoundland In 1TCJ.". Ten
years later, owing to difficulties aris
ing out of grants made to a number of
persons under the French rule, It wao
i changed to Canadian jurisdiction. In
lSifii it was again transferred to New
foundland. and lias since been attached
to thnt country.
. Tiie difficulty crises over different
Interpretations of the words "const
of Labrador." One view Is that New
foundland can claim only the coast be
tween Blanc Snblon and Cape Chldiey,
with perhaps half a mile inland, and
that the rest of Labrador belongs to
Canada.
As defined In the letters patent con
stituting the office of governor of New
foundland. the boundary wns described
as a line drawn*between Blanc Sablon
and Cape Chldiey. which would pass
through the ocean in certain sections
and leave large arias of the coast to
the westward of the line and there
fore not UUder Newfoundland jurisdic
tion.
•Many Newfoundland officials hold to
the view that the correct delimitation
was made In a sessional paper issued
in tlds. colony in isrt4. Under the
phraseology of this document New
foundland would be I'lititled to thou
sands of square miles of the Inferior
of tiie Labrador pininsulu in addition
to the coast.
