Some of the remarkable propertiei of radium are being demonstrated by an exhibitor in the Liberal Arts building at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, in connection with a new, invention making possible the radiofying of water tor medicinal purposes. Demonstrating the power of this mineral promoting metabolism a number of young' plants, some existing with, and some without the aid of radium, shown. Those in the radioactive soils are seen to be growing much more rapidly than those in common soil, and to have a more healthy appearance. This inventor bits found a process of impregnating iena, cotta bricks with radium-bearlpg minerals, and these small bricks placed in water are said to give it remarkable curative, The porous bricks last almost indefinitely, losing only half their potency, it is estimated, in 1,800, years. Since the discovery of this mineral it has been found that many celebrated waters, as Carlsbad and Baden Baden, owe their health-giving properties to radium.

The inventor claims that his process produces la ordinary waters the qualities of these famous springs. The radium ore used in the manufacture of radioactive terra cotta is known as carootite, a formation found mainly" in Colorado and: "Utah, and now producing three-fourths of the world's radium, The European mineral, known as pitchblende, from which the famous European springs are impregnated, is also displayed. Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken. The most remarkable set of speed photographs ever taken are part of the war department's exhibit in Machinery Hall at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco. They are pictures of, a shell from a 12-inch coast defense gun in flight, the set including the various phases 'of the flight beginning just as the great projectile pokes its nose out of the muzzle of the gun." The pictures were taken with a lens having an exposure period of one five-thousandth of.

a second, this being the fastest shutter ever manu factured. The exposure at the proper time in the flight of the projectile was made by breaking an electric circuit in a wire stretched across the trajectory at the desired point and connecting, with the shutter. One picture shows the shell halfway out of the muzzle before any smoke and gas has escaped. Another was taken when the shell was two feet from the muzzle but hidden by a heavy ring of smoke. A third shows the shell in flight a hundred feet from the muzzle.

The photographs are so perfect and the exposure so rapid that scarcely any blur is perceptible. They were taken at Fortress Monroe, under the direction of CapL F. J. Behl of the coast artillery corps and head of the department of enlisted specialists at the Coast Artillery school at Fortress Monroe. A Cure for Sour Stomach Mrs.
