In the senior.year of the Forestry course is included a trip of inspection of the forest conditions and practices in northern Michigan. T he time of the trip is arranged to suit the con venience of the class and the in structors. This year the opportune time came when, through the kind ness of M r. Wildey, of the State Land Office, we were given the opportunity of going to Oscoda county to work with the state esti mators w ho are re-estimating the College timber lands, prior to their sale, November 12th. Mr. G. F. Talladay and myself accepted the offer and began our trip to the north woods, the next Satur day. We arrived at Roscommon .the next morning at 3 o'clock. Sunday was spent very profitably in acquainting ourselves with the town and some of its inhabitants. T he following day we began our 36 mile "cross c o u n t r y" ride through jackpine and scrub oak plains, arriv ing at our destination, Mio,—a little town in the center of the county— after 7 hours of almost continuous riding. Before beginning our journey we •were told that the first human habi tation was 14 miles on our way, and it I seemed to us more like twenty. think that when we were 11 y2 miles out we saw a man, but I am not positive. T he monotony of the trip, however was occasionally broken bv the stories of an "Original" lumber man, who rode with us nearly the entire distance. T h o u gh some of his tales were rather on the fiction order, we listened atten tively and learned a great deal about t he lumberman and lumbering of 25 years ago in northern Michigan. to them Especially interesting was his story of the settling of the country through which we passed. T he pine upon it was mostly small, and when cut and taken away the land was easily cleared and put into con dition for agricultural purposes. He told us, much to our surprise, that the whole region through which we were traveling was dotted with farms 20 years ago, and that the peo ple were prosperous and happy, all of which we might readily believe for along the way we could distinguish further Nothing interes:ed us until we arrived at Mio and found that we had to walk four miles to our headquarters. Here we found Mr. Shien,state tresspass agent, and Mr. Belknap the surveyor of the party, w ho were waiting for us. We had a good place to stav and two of the state's best "cruisers" to work with, which, with ideal weather for working in the woods, made it possible to learn and observe to our utmost capacity. During our stay in the woods our knowledge of forest mensuration and surveying was tested. T he first day we were asked to estimate the B. M. in a large tall pine which was afterwards measured accurately by a system of triangles and the actual amount of limber computed. T he results of the estimates were rather surprising but thev gave us an idea and afterwards we did better. thoroughly Of the actual estimating and run ning of lines little can be written as it can only be learned by observation and experience. While in the woods we looked over and estimated the limber on i,cno acres of virgin forest, a part of one of the few tracts of virgin timber in lower peninsula. T he forest the consists principally of hemlock, ma ple and beech, but on the lower lands are found also basswood, red and white elm, white and black ash, soft maple, cedar, and a few scatter ing tamaracks. T he value of the forest, however, consists in the hem lock, maple and cedar it contains, the rest of the timber being scatter ing or of'no value. After four days of travel and ex perience in a real forest we began our return to M. A. C, arriving here Saturday evening, Oct. 31st. T he trip was highly profitable to us, and the only reason we have for regret is that we couldn't stay a month rather than a week. G E O. C. M O R B E C K. '90. Joseph H.

RADIUM. For the past few y t a is scientific papers and records have been nota to ra bly full of matter pertaining dio-active substances. T he study of the peculiar propeities of many of these has occupied the world's most emminent physicists and has bor dered upon the realm of the chem ist as well. Names, hitherto known only to inner scientific circles, have been brought into almost uni versal recognition. the itself in spite of T he statement is made that Ra dium emits radiations, that is, shoots off particles of into space, at such terrific speed that 92,500 miles a second is not considered a large the fact estimate. Yet that this waste goes on at such an enormous rate, the actual loss sus tained by a square centimeter of Radium would not amount to more than a milligram in millions of years. It has been possible to it only in combination with obtain other material. It is a product of the mineral pitch-blende which is found earth. Most of deep the in experiment came mineral used from Bohemia. It is also found in Saxony and in Colorado. thus far in the T he quantity of Radium already figurative found is so small that the price of a grain has been placed at It may be that there are $10,000. large quantities of it stored under the surface somewhere, but the man who found a quantity of it in any thing like a pure state would pro bably not live to tell the tale. A small quantity, in the possession of the most M. (Jurrie, has caused in painful blisters when brought contact with small the particle of Radium salt was sealed in a glass tube and to Pi of. Currie's sleeve for an hour and a half. It produced a suppurating sore which did not heal for over three months. skin. A tied to quality luminous Radium has been photographed with its own light; further, if it be into the neighborhood of brought certain other substances it imparts its them. Diamond is a good example. W i t h- •••ih a few months past great interest has been attracted by the statement, made by Profs. Currie and Laborde, that- Radium maintains its own temperature at 1 50 Cent, above its surroundings. Tiiis is equivalent to saying that half a pound of R a dium salt would evolve in one hour sufficient heat to equal that caused by the burning of one-third of a cubic foot of hydrogen gas, and that the heat evolved from pure Radium salt is sufficient to melt more than its own weight of ice every hour. This evolution of heat goes on con stantly for indefinite periods of time and leaves the Radium at the end of months of activity a* potent as at the beginning. T he problem therefore confronts the world of solving how Radium can constantly throw off heat with out combustion or without chemical change, as Prof. Currie says it does. It is now emphatically stated that Radium is undoubtedly an element and has a spectrum peculiar to itself. While it is spoken of as a metal, Radium has never been secured in a metallic form, the usual form being as a chloride or bromide. Prof. Currie says that the result of all the work done in Germany and France during the past three years has been the securing of only about one pound of Radium, including all grades and qualities. As the enormous indicative of difficulties to be encountered in r r o- this wonderful substance, it cuiing is interesting to note that it takes 5,000 tons of uranium residue, that is residue from pitch-blende, to pro duce 2.2 pounds of radium salt, and the cost of handling these residues is $2,000 per ton. the problem of It is easily seen that the material possibilities of the C u n ie discover ies are enormous. Among many suggestions as to the outcome are: T he transmutations f f metals, solv ing light without heat, the perfection of wireless com munication, the cure of certain pha ses of blindness, new sources of heat; and, since it would now seem that there is, after all, but one sub stance in the world, chemistry may undergo such a rejuvenation as will result in the most unheard of discov Is the discovery of Radium, eries. then, merely an expression of the di-integration of matter? merelv evidence of the coming extinction of for the universe? There is room speculation. Prof. Crookes well summed up the situation when he said, " T he fatal quality of atomic dissociation appears to be universal. rain It works in the sunshine and drops, in the lightning and flame. It prevails in the waterfall and the stormy sea, and, although the whole range of human experience is all too short to afford a parallax bv which the date of the extinction of matter can be calculated; "Profile," the formless mist, may once again reign supreme and the hour hand of eternitv will have completed one revolution." W A RD D. C A R P E N T E R. Prof. F. S. Kedzie has recently received a part of a thousandth milligram of Radium from Germany. It is certainly a wonderful substance. Prof. Kedzie will make arrange ments for a general exhibit in the near future. W i th '04.
