found their one relief to come from
the strange element, and gradually
method Of treatment has developed
from that discovery. H 81 s5.,
By this method the emanations from
radium are collected and held in. solu-
ton in the air. A compartment called
an ''emanatorium" is the cabinet in
which patients of the radium. treat
ment must be placed to breathe in the
confined air laden with radium emana-
lions. An hour or more at time must
be spent In the emanatorium, and the
treatment continues for three weeks
The theory is that the radium rays,
which do not perish like light rays. but
are held in solution in the air, are
breathed into the lungs. There they
get into the blood and thus are carried
to every organ of the body. This is
what would happen If radinm emana-
lions are an actual material substance
which can saturate the atmosphere, as
seems to be the case.
At all events this treatment has been
practiced In Europe for two or three
years and has to its credit, It is said, a
number Of cures. The substance ira
dium) Is yet too much Of mystery for
scientists to bank on what It will do or
whether It can repeat here what it has
apparently been doing in Europe The
Johns Hopkins warns people not to put
too great confidence in the new method
until It has had a thorough trial here.
Climatic conditions differing from
those Of Europe may affect the mani
festations Of radium here.
One highly important feature in con-
nection with the Johns Hopkins under
taking is that the radium treatment
will not be high priced. Rich and poor
alike will have entrance to the new de-
partment. 4.SS
This seems paradoxical when it is re-
membered that very small amount Of
radium is worth a fortune One Amer
lean physician has sent abroad for q
small supply Of It and is said to be pay
ing $4,000 for what is contained In
very small phial. But this high price Is
somewhat Offset by the fact that ra-
dunn is almost mperishable. Giving
of emanations reduces its quantity by
such an fninitesimal amount that 1t b
claimed the quantity which Johns Hop
( dns brings over will be doing service
for 1000 years.
Another matter which may shortly
be investigated in connection with ra-.
dunn IS the theory that it's presence In
certatn mineral waters IS the cause Of
their curative qualities. It Is said that.
the government authorities will appoint
experts to make an Investigation Of the
springs at Hot Springs, Ark to ascer-
tain how much. Il any. radium e IN the
wster.

and from the plains of Nebraska to

Good morning, governor
Now that q new administration is
about to begin and there is new face
at the door, it Is really one Of the most
remarkable incidents Of the day that
there are so many men with the Wood

American people in the high dramatic

as the days pass, at least until the

KEEPS ITS TREASURE
English Expedition Comes Back
Empty Handed.

Panama.-The treasure hunting ex-
petition led by Miss Genevieve Davis,
an Englishwoman, which had been
looking for buried gold on Cocos is
land for many months, got back here.
A good time was had by all. No treas
ure was recovered
Ben1to Bonito was a regular pirate,
who inathe early part of the nineteenth
century settled down to ''singeing the
beard Of the king of Spain" along the
z coast of: Mexico. When he got any
money together he buried it on Cocos
island, j: after the manner of pirates,
and made a. map with skull and cross
bones marking the spot where the
treasure was hid. His heirs have made
q substantial living selling these maps
to those whom romance and the works
of r. L. Stevenson have touched.
& Miss Davis expedition started out
from Plymouth with one of the maps
and vessel armed with a six FOUNDER
to fight the natives of Cocos island.
which lies $50 amiles southwest Of
Pana ma, on Sept. 10 last. The. only
woman besides Miss Davis aboard the
ship was her friend, Mrs. Barry Till.
At the same time Miss Davis organ
lied her expedition one Of the repre-
sentatives of the Benito Bonito Buried
Treasure company was on the road
In the south of France and sold a
map to Mines Matilda Durand Of Mar
settles. who forthwith announced that
she t was going to. get up an expedition
OF her own. Her map. she said. was
better than Miss Davis because in ad-
diHon to the skull and crossbones it
told just how many PAGES you took
from the palm tree on Dead Mans
hill to get to the cave where. the treas
Eure was buried.
And then when Miss Dayis'sexp

start out after the treasure but Thomas
