WHY RADIUM IS
SO EXPENSIVE
One-sixth of the world’s output of:
radium is made within seven miles of
Philadelphia in a factory at Lans-!
downe, which is one of the six plants
of its kind in the world. It has a ca
pacity of producing three grams of ra
dium a year. The process by which
the metal is made was discovered by
Dr. D. H. Kabajian, assistant profes
sor of physics in the University of
Pennsylvania and a resident of Lans
downe.
Some idea of the delicacy of the se
cret chemical processes which the car
notite ore undergoes can be gleaned
from the output of the factory. Hun
dredsof tons of camotie are used dur
ing the course of a year. Twenty-five
men working nine hours a day for a
year will produce three grams of pure
radium salt. The market price for
pure radium is $100,000 a gram at this
time, and the Lansdowne factory’s
yearly output is worth $300,000.

AT FAIRBANKS
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
.Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission, has
■announced that the commission has
leased 20 acres of ground from the
Tanana Valley railroad for terminal
purposes at Fairbanks. The ground
is located almost directly across the
river from St. Matthew’s hospital.
After the ice goes out in the spring
work on a dock and warehouse on
the property will be commenced. Mr.
Riggs is authority for the statement
however, that the terminal which has
been determined upon is not perma
nent; that it may be moved to some
other location.
The only particularly active section
along the railroad this winter will be
at Nenana, according to Commissioner
Riggs. The activity will consist
chiefly of rock work on the north side
of the Tanana river, the steam shovel
which will be used having already
been set up. It is likewise expected
that the narrow gauge railroad mate
rial which will be used in construc
tion will reach Nenana before the
close of navigation.
