The costliest metals are: Calcium,
which is worth 81, 500 pound. Cirium
is shade higher; it's cost is $l6O an
ounce, or 81, 92O per pound. These be-
gin to look like fabulous prices, but
they do not reach the highest point,
chromium being $500. Cobalt falls to
about half the price of silver, while
didymium, the metal isolated by Ma
sander, is the same price as calcium.
Then comes gallium, which is worth
So, $50 an ounce. With this metal the
highest price is reached, and it may
well be called the rarest and most
precious of metals.

HENRI MoIssAN, who recently sue
ceeded in preparing metal with metal
lie calcium, has just discovered a new
compound of this metal with hydro
gen. This compound is formed by
heating metal calcium to dark red
in an atmosphere of hydrogen. Its
most remarkable property lies in the
fact that when thrown into water it
decomposes with violence, pure hydro
gen being given off. 1t is possible that
this reaction may prove of some in-

LUETGERT'S CRIME
Planned to Throw Suspicion on a
Friend

CHICAGO. Jan. 12-Testimony has
been given to the Luetgert jury intended
to show that the defendant planned to
throw the suspicion of his alleged crime
upon another should it be discovered.
This at least, is the inference which
the state expects the jurors to draw
from the evidence of Frank Hangel, one
of the new witnesses discovered by the
police too late for the former trial. Han
gel is a sign painter. He told the jury
that Luetgert practically informed him
several months before her disappear
ance that he intended to make away
with his wife, and also that the sau-
sage-maker had made overtures to him
(HangeD whereby Hangel should go to
Europe about the time Mrs. Luetgert
should disappear. 1t was evidently not
Luetgert's purpose, according to the
witness, to let him know why he wanted
to hire him to go away, so that he in
tended if necessary to cast the suspicion
of murder on him.
Hangel swore that Luetgert discussed
domestic troubles with him several
times, and on one occasion the defen-
dant said to him:
"A bright man like you ought to have
a better job than that"
The defendant is alleged to have said !:
How would you like to have nice lit
tie job that would make you $1,000 or
$4,000 and perhaps permit you to go to
Europe?"
Hangel says that he made no reply and
remembering their other talk, became
frightened, and left the defendant. Later

counts in her head.
