At a special radium factory recently installed. at Nogent-sur-Maine, the most varied ores are treated, and on their arrival sro all taken to the crushers, whereas their further treatmout varias according to the kind of material. The method described in the following applies more par ticularly to pitchblend, or father to pitchblead residues, as obtained in the manufacture of uranium-which are the most important of radium-holding materials. The groun

The conditions for bidding are as follows :- treatment" is carried out in wooden 1. Persons desirous of bidding must DE tanks and cast-iron tanks provided with POSIT with the Provedor of the Santa Casa, stirring devices. Each ton of residues Sito ar a PLEDGE of the bona fides of their before the opening of proceedings, the Sum of will require five lous of chemicals and fifty tons offer, which sum shall be returned to all those of 'rinsing water. The residues contain, sul-who may not be awarded the lease, im phates of practically all metals, and, as radium mediately after the adjudication. sulphate is the least soluble of all, this pro perty in utilized to separate it from the remain ing sulphates by wasting it alternately with alkali salts and water. These successive wash, ings will remove each time the metal having the most soluble salta.

As radium sulphate always remains at the bottom of the vessel, it is foued there at the conclusion of the different operations (lasting about two and a half months), when one or two kilograms of impure, radium bromide will bo obtained from each ton of residue. The activity of this radium-holding sell hardly ex ceeds 50 to 60. Products of higher activity are obtained by "fractionating"-namely, by of successive crystallizations in pure water submitting the mixture of salts to a series and in water containing some hydrobromic Acid. The difference of solubility of the bromides of radigm and barium respective- ly is thus utilized, with a view to separating them from one another. After dissolving the various bromides, the solution is saturated at bailing temperature, and beautiful crystals are Lobtained so cooling. These crystals possesi an activity five times greater than the original ly dissolved salts, and by repeating the same operation over and over again,, products of ever-increasing activity are obtained.

While the first fractional operations are still carried out on a commercial basis, the more mingte operation required to treat the pro ducts of higher activity are necessarily per formed in the laboratory by skilled chemists. At the end of this difficult treatment only one to two milligrams of bromide are found to remain from each ton of original residuda, but this minimal amount, shows an activity two million times higher than metallic uranium.. The most important part of the factory is the laboratory, where chemical analyses and spectroscopic tests are carried out, in addition
