THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST December, 1952 
ultra-violet light. The element ra- 
dium throwing off radio active 
emi nations for countless ages then 
exhausts itself and has changed to 
another element — lead. The 
speaker speculated on what Broken 
Hill — the largest known lead de- 
posit in the world — had been hun- 
dreds of millions years ago when 
it was a vast radio active area. As 
a final note, the lecturer told us of 
the grotesque effects that radio 
activity was producing in the 
laboratory. 
The Chairman, on behalf of the 
large number of members and 
friends present, thanked the lec- 
turer for what must be regarded 
as one of the outstanding lectures 
the Section has had presented to 
it.
