CURIOUS THEFT.
The Worlds First Radiurn Rob-
berry Has Taken Place.

! It was bound to come sooner or later.
And, now behold, it has come.
For the first time in the world s his
tory there has heen ehronicled the
theft of a quantity of radium.
1t was not large quantity. Indeed,
it could not very well be so, consid7
ering that the sum total of the radium
stock of the whole of Europe is one
twelfth of an ounce troy.
But as radium is worth just now, at
current market rates, 100000 an ounce,
the individual, whoever he was, who
walked off at Glasgow University the
other day with Professor Soddy's one
fourth of grain, has illicitly acquired
possession of property worth $50.
The difficulty for him, however, will
be to realize. He can hardly advertise
it in the .'For SaIeo columns of
daily paper. He can not raise money
on it at pawnshop, for not even the
most enterprising and up-to-date of
"uncles would lend anything on
microscopic fragment of dirty dust that
a pin IS point would more than cover.
Neither can he keep it in his pocket
with safety to himself For the tiny
speck of seemingly harmless stuff would
burn. through clothing and flesh, and
muscle, and bone, more surely than
vitriol, and would beside give rise to an
ulcerous sore that would take years to
heal, if it ever did.
Even for the thief to examine his
stolen booty would mean blindness, un-
less he exercised extraordinary and
elaborate precautions. For the radio
activity of the pure mineral is such
that it destroys the optic nerve as sure
ly as it eats up gold or carbonizes a
diamond, only more quickly.
So that, on the whole, it would seem
that the wisest course for the man who
stole that tube of radium would be to
seek out Mr.. Soddy and beg of him, on
his knees, if need be, to retake possess
sion of it.
