Asbestos Costs and Scarcity Challenge U S Production
Washington report on asbestos notes it is a trade term for several minerals formed with serpentine rocks. Dr. Oliver Bowles of the U S Bureau of Mines says high grade chrysotile fibers reach 750 dollars a ton, while poorer grades cost less than mining, and the main issue is separating fibers from rock without breakage.

Hot River Carries Away Radioactive Materials
New York Hot river draining Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone carries away radioactive materials about 40 grams of radium annually worth $800,000 if extracted. University of Missouri geologists Dr. Herman Schlundt and Gerald F Breckenridge report that hot spring waters remove radon, a radium by product, from deeply buried rocks. Other hot springs outside Yellowstone also contain radium, indicating similar deep earth chemical processes.

Double Set of Ears Given Salamander by Grafting
Prof Ross Harrison of Yale, newly elected chairman of the National Research Council, reported that four ears grew where two would normally form in salamanders. Using tissue grafting from early embryos, he transplanted abdominal tissue into the head region, and surrounding tissues induced ear structures in the graft.
