OF RADIUM ID
. FELT BF ARM!

l
CRIIM’EK CHEEK, Colo., Sept. IL'.
A shortage of radium was forecast by
' I)r. Richard I). Moore of the United
States bureau of mines in an address
he delivered here recently before the
'meeting of the American Institute of j
Mining Engineers. Radium is largely
! being used on the faces of watches
\ end clocks and for other similar pur
poses. the speaker said.
l
"It is a great pity that our supply
I t . radium is being disseminated in
this manner." said Dr Moore. “Hut i
as the physicians and surgeons of the j
] country are not purchasing enough!
radium to make the industry a finati
(ial success, it is natural that the
. manufacturers should take other
means of creating a demand. The
day is not far distant, in my judg
| ment, when we shall greatly regret!
j the radium that has been lost in this
way.
"Radium has a most decided use-,
fulness at the present time; nine in-j
struments used on airplanes have
dials made luminous with radium
paint; it is employed in the same
manner for compasses and gun sights.
The efficiency of night firing, with
la th machine guns and artillery, has
■ ; been greatly increased by the use of
“ these luminous sights. Other uses
! cun not be specified at the present
time in a public paper.
"It is difficult to estimate the exact
amount of radium in existence at the
present time; probably it is some
where around three ounces of radium
element. Considerably more than
half the amount of radium now in
! existence has come lrom Colorado and
: “Six years ago the engineers of the
bureau of mines estimated that at the
current rate of production the depos
its might last, commercially, ten or
•: eighteen years. At the present time
it is very difficult to obtain ore. Most |
ol the deposits are owned by five op*,
(rating radium companies. The pro-1
duction has increased very greatly
during the war. and 1 am very doubt
ful whether we can depend upon our |
carnotite deposits to yield commercial
I quantities for more than six or seven
years longer. It is my judgment that
the fields will not produce more than
inn additional grams of radium ele-j
meat at the most, if that much. This
would about double the world's pres
ent supply; but on account of the
large use of radium in cancer treat
ment, such an amount, although large
scientifically, would be small in pro
portion to the probable demand
"One way of preventing the dis
semination and loss of radium Is In
provide a substitute. Mesothorium is
an excellent substitute in many ways
Its half-life period is much shorter
than that of radium. When first pre
pared, it gradually increases in ac
tivity, comes to a maximum, and then
begins to lose its activity. After
"ripening" for about a year after be
! ing prepared it can be used for lumi
nous paint just as efficiently as ra
dium. Its usefulness for such pur
pose will last for four or live years.
‘l v. hich is ns long as is required for
1 cheap watches, push-buttons, etc.
"Mesothorium can be obtained as a
I y-production in the treatment of mo
f i.azite sand for the manufacture of!
thorium nitrate, used in incandescent;
mantles During the last year the
1 'nited States bureau of mines has
been experimenting along those lines
and has developed a process which is
being put into the largest thorium
plant in the country at the present
time, and it is hoped that before long
mesothorium can be substituted for
some of the radium that Is now being’
used in luminous products.
"Mesothorium can also be used for
cancer treatment, although its short!
j life makes it much less desirable for
| ibis purpose than radium."
