The quantity which is likely to be extracted from the Cornish pitckblende will have a revolu tionary effect on medical science, and possibly even on commoree, for it is admitted that radium has commercial possibilities.

The beginning of work at St. Ives marks the first attempt over made to extract radium in England and it is hoped, too, that it mark a revival of the Cornish mining industry.

Half a century ago the Trenwith Mine was worked for copper, and them at a lower level for tin. Altogether seine 2100.000 worth of metal was taken out. Every day valuable pitchblende, was thrown away with the other rubbish.

There is a story of a stupid mine manager who thought the pitchblende was black copper, and consigned is as such. It was indignantly thrown back at Lim, and feeling very crest fallen, he put it on the rubbish heap.
