It is found associated with uranium, but in practically\ninfinitesimal quantities, only a few\ngrains per ton. It is separated from\nthe ore as a chemical compound and\nplaced upen the market as si.cb. The\ndifficulty of recovering the radium\nfrom the ore and the superior technical skill required in the operation\nmake the coBt of separation extremely high, and necessitate the fabulous\nprices paid. It is much in demand\nby scientific institutes, Institutions\nfor investigations in radium-therapy,\nhospitals and practising physicians,\nAs an aid to the prospector the\nfollowing notes on the occurrence of\nuranium ores, from which the supply\nof radium is o'ota'n d, have been\ncompiled. These are followed by a\nlist of occurrences In Ccnada and\nsuggestions as to localities that\nmight be prospected.\nURAN]UM MINERALS.\nA great variety ol uranium minerals have been recognized, but the\nmoBt of them are of rare occurrence.\nThose that occur chiefly in commercial quantities are pitchblende or\nuraninite, carnotite, nnd autunite.\nPitchblende carries a much higher\npercentage of uranium than either of\nthe other two, and is a uranate of\nof uranyl, lead, usually thorium (or\nzirconium) and, often, the metals of\nthe lanthanum and yttrium groups;\nIt also contains nitrogen in varying\namounts up to 2.6 per cent. It is\nbrittle, has a conchoidal or shell-\nlike fracture, is of a f.u .-metallic to\ngr?aBy, pitch-like or dull lustre, is\nopaque, and in colour is greyish,\ngreenish, brownish, and velvet blue' .\nIts hardness is 5.5; thnt is, it is\nnearly as hard as 'feldspar. Thc specific gravity of crystals, which are\nrare, Is 9 to 9.7. In the massive\nstate its specific gravity is (1.4; that\nis, it is between two and three times\nas heavy as a piece o' quartz, limestone, or granite of equal size. The\ngreasy or pitch-like lustre nnd thfl\nhigh specific gravity are striking features of this mineral.\nCarnotit* is a minora! vm- in'\nsomewhat in composition and con\ntalning vanadium nnd uranium, with\neither or both lime nnd potash. It\nla a canary-yellow, and powdery\nwaiy-looklng mineral. \"With a hand\nIons it can in plnces be seen to have\na somewhat radial but iat.hr Indefinite crysti'l form. Very rarely it\nta'fcs a solid form, which cuts Hlc\nparaffin nnd has nn unctuous feel,\ntn thc powdery form the co'or irft *\nbe somewhat dlsguis d by Iron oxide\nor calcium vanadate.\" \u2666\nAutunite is a jhm hate of uranium and calcium. It is trniulucpnt,\nbright yellow in colo\", nud occurs In\nsmall plates or tabular crystals or\nin mloaoeOUfl a* gregntrs.\nChalcolite or torbernitc is a hydrous phosphate of uranium and copper. It occurs in square tabular\ncrystals, thin or thioV; it. is fourd\nalso in foliated and micaceous aggregates, It haa a pearlv to fub'idam-\nnntinn lustre, pnd in transparent to\ntranslucent, it |4 emora'd grow end\ngrans green, some anecl mens being\napple or Blakin g\"Wn. Hardness 2 to\n2.5; specific gravity. 3-4 to 9,0,\nTESTS.\nAn electroscope is useful in making\ntests for radium, but, it cannot always be carried about conveniently,\nThn sclntilloHcouf. Is a much more\nconvenient instrument. It should,\nhowever, bo carefully teatml with a\nm'niral known to bo radioactive be\nfore taking it to the field; its usefulness may be lost by careless handl-\nAn electroscope iB a metal box,\nthrough an opening in the top of\nwhich a metal strip is suspended by\nmeans of a bit of sulphur or amber\nso tbat it is insulated from the box.\nResting against the metal strip and\nattached to it by its upper end is a\nstrip of gold leaf. When the metal\nstrip and gold leaf are charged with\nelectricity the latter diverges from\nLlie former at an an^le. The divergence can be viewed through an open-\nin? in the side of the to;. The electroscope discharges slowly under or-\nd'nary conditions and ths gold leaf\nreturns to its original position. The\nrate of discbarge is hastened by\nbringing a radium-bearing mineral\nnear tbe instrument. It is a delicate\ninstrument nnd requires some J ill\nin rann'pulation.\nThe scintiUoscope cr.nsists dt a closed brass cylinder, provided at oni\nend with a lens end coated interiorly with zin: sulphide. A iadium-\nbearing mineral brought close to this\ninstrument producjs scint'U tions in\nthe zinc sulphide that can be viewed\nth'O'tph the lens in a dark room.\nThis instrument can be had for a\ndollar or two from Oallenkamp\nCo., 19-21 Sun Street, Finstury\nSquare, London, E. C, England.\nlf uranium is present in quantities\nlikely to be commercial tt can (>e detected by the radio-activity of Its decomposition products by laying the\nsuspected specimen upon a plate holder containing a sensitive photographic plate and leaving it fro.n twelve\nhours to one week. If uranium if\npresent in any considerable quantity\nthe plate will be light-struck. It is\nwelt to note, however, that minerals\ncontaining thorium produce the same\neffect upon a photographic plate.\nThe presence of carnotite Ib imli\ncated by a yellow color brought out\nin a specimen when it is heated, as\nby laying it on the top of a stove.\nAll the above tests require more or\nless skill and experience in their application and it is always advisable\nfor the inexperienced person to submit a suspected specimn to an expert for examination.\nCONCLUSIONS.\nAn exam nit on nf thc descriptions\nof the occurrences of uranium or ra-\ndium-conlu'nin.; ores shows that they\nan nearly all a iBOCl ited wl h igneous rocks of nn acid character such\nas granites, pegmatite dykes, snd\nquartz prophyry dykes. They are\nin' ini enclosed within the body of\npegmatite dykes or In veins cutting\ngranite, or schists or slates intruded\nby granite or porphyry d)*.0i, and\npro' ably have their origin In solu\ntions given off by these igneous roc.vs\nat or about the time df intrusion.\nThese minerals have a gr\u00bbat variety of mineral assoc.ations. ln\nColorado they are associated with\npyrite and smalt quantities of galena\nand zinc blende, in Jo.chmsttul\nwith eilver, cobalt, and nickel ores,\nin Portugal with tin and tungsten\nminerals, and in Cornwall thsy are\nfound in the tin und copper m.n ng\ndistrict.\nThe carnotite deposits of Utah and\nColorado constitute an exception to\nthe usual mode of occurrence. Here\nthe uranium-vanadium mineral carnotite occurs with other vani'dlum\nminerals as an Impregnation in Band-\nstone beds and in cavities md crac' s\nin the sandstone anl in fossi's.\nThe great variety of mineral associations of uranium makes it advisable that the prospector shou'.d not\nneglect a careful search for ita\npresence In all known mineral deposits, especially those that arc genetically related to intrusions .of granite and closaly allied rockB. Localities where traces of tin and tungsten\nminerals are f \u00bbund should receive attention.

Dr. da Th'i ara sold al\nFrench Chain of Fortresses\nThe French Plan of campaign,\nwhich has been adhered to ever since\nthe Franco-Prussian war, forty years\nago, contemplates defensive tactics,\nwith tbe idea of compelling the German armies to shatter thomsolveB\nagainst tbo tremendous chains of intrenched camps and fortresses which\nguard the 200 miles of the frontier I\nbetween Switzerland and Belgium.\n\"Marching to Paris\" bhould not\nprove anything like so easy a task\nas it did in 1870-71. The artificial\ndefences are located bo skilfully in\nconjunction with the natural obstacles that thera ie almost no scoi'C\nfor the development of an elaborate\nBtratfcgy of attack. The several loopholes in the chains .of worka are all\nintended as so many traps, and\nshould the Germans attempt to move\nthrough them they would inevitably\nexpose themselves to attacks upon\ntheir Hanks.\nTt has been stated recently in the\nFrench Senate, and in ttie columns of\nFrench newspapers thnt the defences\nof the northeastern frontier have hem\nal 1owi.h1 to deteriorate since tbey were\noriginally planned in 1875. Criticisms have been made, based upon\nthe alleged authority of high officers\nof the army and the ministry of war,\nthat thc Works an they stand are out\not date and equipped with insufficient\nartillery. But military observers\nhave commented that it was more\nthan strange that sucb snares were\npermitted to pass without den al by\nthe present heads of the war department. In other words, there had been\na shrewd suspicion thit the Frcn h\nmay have been glad to allow their\ndefences to be depreciated as tending to render their prospective fo*s\nover-confident, and so much more\neasy to reckon with.\nADVANCE THROUGH BELGIUM.\nThe probability, however, is that\nthe Germans will find th3 task ct invading France beromes almost insuperable after the first few miles have\nbeen traversed. In order to reducj\nmany of the French fortresses regular siege operations will have to be\nundertaken, and In the meantime the\nFrench field armies must be reckoned with. It iB the idea of the French\nGeneral Staff, of course, thut their\nRussian allies will be Knocking at\nGermany's eastern gates long hefore\nthe passage of thc Vosges Mountains\nbas been forced hy the invaders.\nEven should the Germans succeed\nin overriding the neutrality of Belgium's territory\u2014and to do this they\nmust first defeat the Belgian army,\nwhich Is now in process of mobilization, and numbers several hundred\nthousand men on a war footing\u2014\nthey will still be fronted hy a chain\nof French frontier fortresses, which\nmay be expected to furn'sh a base for\ntbe resistance of the French army in\nthe field In that quarter. These fortresses are inter-dependent, and would\nhave to be reduced or isolated by the\ninvaders before they *n*.re passed\u2014\neven supposing that the Germans succeed in driving back the French field\narmy.\nFrom all these considerations it\nmay be seen that the task the Germans are confronting is no easy one.\nThey are in the position of troops\noperating in advance of their bases,\nwith the problem of subsisting in\nhostile territory; and they are faced\nby an enormous field army, probably\nalmost, if not quite, as numerous as\nthemselves, as well as by line after\nline of permanent fortifications. Obviously, if the French material of\nwar is up to the mark, and if they\nPossess a couple of general officers of\nmore thttn mediocre strategic ability,\nthe repelling of the German attack\nshould not prove extrorinarily difficult.\nHAS TRAP WELL LAID.\nTo grasp the significance of the\nsituation it is first necessary to undertake the geographic peculiarities\nof the theatre of war. As has been\nsaid, the Franco German frontier\nstretches for about 200 miles In an\nirregular line, jabbing a triangular\npoint between the lost province of\nAlsace and Lorraine, from the point\nwhere the French, Swiss and German\nfrontiers join near Montbellard to\nthe Luxemburg frontier. The meeting of the French and Swiss fron\ntiers wtth the German frontier ts al\nso signalled by the meeting at right\nangles of th\u00bb Jura Mountains with\nthe Vosges range. The Vosges ridge,\nthe Franco-German frontier from the\nSwiss boundary to a point about\nmidway between Strassburg and Nancy, pres.nted a rugged series of tree-\nclad slopes and narrow posses to any\nInvader.\nBehind the Vosges, the line of the\nFrench permanent defence follows\nthe valley of the Moselle, and is continued toward tha Belgian frontier\nalong the valley of the Mouse, These\ndefences are Vn -iwn as the \"Mouse\nline\" and the \"Momlta line.\" Between them is the famous gap called\nhy tho French strategists tho troune\nd'Epinai, In which Franco hopes to\ntrap tho invaders, lf tho elaborate\nl>lans of tho general staff do not miscarry.\nThe exact nature, n* the advance\nhas fortifications between Vordun-\nToul and Eplnal Helfort and Epinal-\nBelfort ls unknown to all except tho\nofficers of the French army, end prdbr\nably the Secret Intelligence Depart\nment of tho German Stall, But occasionally auioibOolie parties ot Americans driving through little-Ire-\nquenttd roads iu the heart of th*\nvosgeti have tome uj-on liugfl tuned\ncliffs overhanging some pass or eminence, aud the hasty challenge o: a Ben-\ntinel has sent them to the right-\nauout.\nStrictly |speaking, Verdun and ToUi\nare both entrenched camps rather\nthan fortresses, with extensive perimeters and far-Aung out-wor*s. The\nwonts between them consist of a series of forts d'arret. Frum 'loul to\nEpinnl in tho valley of thj upper\nAloseile the French strategists left\nthe gap previously referred to, as the\ntrouee d'Epinai, in order that the\nGermans, turned back from.the elaborate fortifications which edgo tbe\ngap, may swirl through it, lured by\nlack of resistance, and suddtnly find\nthemselves enveloped on all sides in\na cul-de-sac, men and cannon.\nEplnal nnd Beltort, the key-point*\nof the chain of works on the other\nside uf the gap, are entrenched camps\nlike Verdun nnd TOUl, and the works\nbetween them are forts d'arret of the\nsame type as constitute the \"Mouse\nLine.1'\nIt was the garrison Ol Helfort who\ndistinguished themselves by their heroic resistance in the war of 1870-71.\nBeyond Belfort there is another\ncontinuation of this first line of defence, comprising heavy works in the\nneighborhood of Montbellard and\nalong the summit of the Lomont\nrange, which terminate at the flanks\nOl the Jura Mountains on the Swiss\nfrontier. The Frenc!i Hank toward\nSwitzerland is also protected, how-\nover, hy works at Pontarlier and\nelsewhere,. Even in the unlikely\nevent of the Germans succeeding in\nforcing their way through Switzerland, the French troops would be able\nto iface them, confident in the support of permanent fortifications upon\nwhich they might retire at need.\nln rear of th)i \"Lines of the Meuse\nand the Moselle\" lies a secondary\ndefence in the shape of two large defensive areas, In which, under certain circumstances, the main French\narmies will assemble preparatory to\noffensive operations, an.l to which\nthey may return if defeated. Those\nareas form ideal grounds for thc actual field mobilization of armies, as\nwell as effective barriers to the German invasion. The eastern area, lying behind the Epinal-Uelfort works,\niB in tht. form of a triangle, the\npoints of which are the fortresses of\nLangreB, on the plateau of that name\nDejon, and Besancon.\nFOR INVADERS,\nEighty or ninety miles from LangreB begins the chain of thfjc fortresses\u2014 Rheims, Laon, and La Fere\u2014\nwhich constitute the defences of t\nsecond area, ami which, in themselves, form an effective defence\nagainst invasion through Luxemburg\nand Belgium, almost overlapping,\nsome distance in their rear, the\nworks between Verdun and Toul. Thc\ngap between these two systems of\nfortifications is another trap left in\ntentionally by the French for the\npurpose of drawing the enemy into\nan unfavorable situation where they\ncould be pounded on two or tbree\nsides at once.\nEven the Belgium frontier has been\ndefended, the tbree first-class for\ntresses of Lille, Valenciennes, and\nMaubeuge forming a chain of resistance which would block, at teast\ntemporarily, the advance of any\narmy, no matter how large, necessitating the detachment of considerable\nbodies of. troops to Ujckado and isolate them. A third gap, about a hundred miles wide, has been left between Maubeuge and the entrenched\ncamp of Verdun, the Idea, according to the opinions of German army\nofficers, being for reasons known on!,\nto the French, directly to tempt the\nGermans to attack France through\nthe Duchy of Luxemburg\u2014which ib\nprecisely what the Germans are doing, according to dispatches.\nIn this gap lied Longwy, which ts\nfortified, as well as several other\ngarrison towns and small frontier\nfortifications, but no works of\ncharacter calculated to retard an invasion Vor any period of time. It\nwill be Interesting to observe tho\nplan of defence the Fr1 nth have work\nod out for such an attach, which\nthey obviously must have anticipat\ntd.\nSome distance to the rear of the\ntrouee d'Epinai lie Beveral barrier\nforts thut'aro supposed to be heavily-\narmed\u2014at Papny and around Neuf-\nchateau \u2014 which are designed to\nchei*. \"the Hood of invasion\" through\ntlio gap. should lt seem to he flowing\ntoo swiftly for tho comfort of the\nFrench field army. Then, beside all\nthe works specified h.re It must he\nremembered that tho entire northern\nsection of France, from the English\nChannel to the Swiss mountains is\ncovered by nn elaborate system of\nminor fortifications, while every\neminence, gully, plain nnd rlvor hot\nlorn Ib mapped otlt and its posUlhUi\ntics of 'Mens' noted down foi' Uu\nbenefit of commanders of troops.\nFrench artillery officers, for Instance,\nwill tako their pieces Into action\nknowing precisely in advance the bent\nplaces to Bcek cover and the ranges\nof all points in their front.\nCOAL AND PETROLEUM NOTICE\nNOTICE is hereby given that, sixty\ndays after date hereof, I intend to\napply to the MiniBter of LandB for a\ni-.ia.nae to prospect for coal and petroleum over the following described\nlands, situate in the Fernie District\nof South EaBt Kootenay, in Block\n4593.\nCommencing at a post planted ad-\n.ac-nt to the Northwest corner of\n..ut oil? about 40 chains in a northeasterly direction from the Southwest corner of Lot 731*8 and being the\nWorthwest corner, tbence South 80\nchains, east anout 20 chains, North\n.0 chains aud west about 20 chains\nto point of commencement and containing 160 acres more or less, being\na relocation of Lot 6147.\nLocated this 27th day of July, 1914\n33- JAMES FISHER, Locator\nthence South K0 chains, east 80\nchains, north 80 chains and west 80\nchains to po.nt of commencement and\ncontaining tHu acres more or less.\nLocated this 28th, day of July, 1914\nHARLAN 1.

C. \\\nAchievements at Sea\nThe pall of silenc- -.till hangs over\nthe operations of the British Navy\nIn the North Sea. Whether it is still\nsimply watching an.l waiting, whether there have ban preliminary skirmishes or encounters ol suy kind,\nwhether the German aeroplanes and\ndirigibles, which were to work auch\nhavoc, hnve left their hangars is\nknown only, so far aa the British\npeople are concerned, to the Lords\nof the Admiralty. But the whole\nworld knows that whether the British Navy is active or merely watchful, the German Navy has had no\nmore effect on the war than if it did\nnot exist. It has, at any rate for\nthe time being, been reduced to a\nnegligible quantity. Within a few\nmiles of its anchorage British trans-\nj-orts have safely conveyed 100,000\ntroops or more from England to\nFrance. The cruisers Ot England and\nher allies in different parts of the\nworld have captured German nitvch-\nant vessels to the number of 203,\nwith a tonnage of 1,000,000. In addition, British cruisers have kept the\ntrade routes of the world open; not\none British vessel has been captured\nor seriously menaced, Passengers are\ncrossing and re-crnsaing the Atlantic\nand foodstuffs are being daily Bhipped from foreign to English ports.\nThe price of food has not appreciably rlstn and business has not been\nseriously dislocated. Finally, the\nrate of insurance has been reduced to\nthree guineas, a condition which\nwould not for a moment be conceivable if England were not Btill Mistress of the Seas.

We associate so much of\nour ideas of travel and en.oymcnt\nwith railways that it is natural to\nimagine that they must have bcen\nthe ilrst to popularize it, says Arthur Henry Anderson in The London\nChronicle. If so, however, wc should\nonly get back to mid-Victorian days,\nfor the South-Eastern line which\npasses the base of the Hill, was opened in 1849, and that part of the\nLondon, Brighton and South Coast\nRailway line was enly completed in\n1867. But early novels show that\nour eighteenth century ancestors,\nthought as much of al fresco parties j\nas we do, and lt Ib unlikely that so\nglorious a view point as Box Hill\nwould be missed.

Eox Hill\nfigures in but one of them, tnongh\nin that lt bulks largely. It Is in\nJane Austen's \"Emma.\" This takes\nus back a hundred years for visits\nto Box Hill to be a customary form\ndf entertainment.\nIt is not, it must be ccufesBed, a\n.ery happy precedent, since the party was a melancholy failure. Of all\nthe long record of misunderstandings,\nso skilfully worked out, in which\nEmma Woodhouse found herself in\nvolvcd, thc party to Box Hill proved\nno small part. \"During tho two\nwhole hours that were spent upon the\nhill, there seemed a principle of separation between thc parties, too\nstrong for any line prospects, or any\ncold collation, or any cheerful Mr.\nWeston to restore.\"\nBut the excuse of the Illustration\nis not that the party was dull, but\nthat there was a party, nnd thai\nthis waB a hundred yenrs ago, \"Emma\" having been published in 181\nso that we get a very respectable\nancestry for those outing] which\nmake ol Box Hill a sort of outer and\nmore reilned Hampstoad Heath.\nBut thc essence ot the lllustrntb\nis not that the party wns dull, but\nthat they have chosen it, nnd Nelson would not have stayed\u2014on his\nway to Portsmouth for Trafalgar\u2014\nin tbe romantic little inn, whoso\ngardens open to the box-clad slopes,\nand Kents would not have como to\nthe same inn in 1.117 for country\ncalm to sustain, and natural beauty\nto inspire him during thc labors of\n\"Endymlon.\" These did not suddenly dlBcovcr and r.!t th' vogue Ior Box\nHill.
