CANADIAN RADIUM.
ENOUGH FOR THE EMPIRE? (Received 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, February 10. The "Sunday Express" states that by the development of the sources of radium—the Great Bear Lake, Canada— which are believed to be sufficient to supply the whole Empire, it is expected that the value of radium will drop from £10,000 to £1000 per grain. At present the world's stock is GOO grams. London hospitals between them have threequarter of an ounce, valued at £250,000.
