LOOKING FOR RAD1UH.
Hot Springs, July la. Dr.,Jos
eph Hyde Pratt, who is employed
hy the United States government
to collect samples of lmt water for
the purpose of forwarding them
to the New llaven laboratory for
analysis to determine the possible
presence of radium in its proper
ties, completed his work today and
shipped a large number of samples
north tonight.
The analysis will be made by a
number of the University of Vale
experts under the direction of the
interior department. Local chem
ists have made, so it is claimed,
important discoveries in the pro
perties of the water, and the tests
to be made by the government will
settle the question for all time.
