his flesh beneath that pocket began to act
as though it had suffered a great burn.
The scientist became very Ill and was
: taken to a hospital. There he fought
death for many weeks, but nnaily recoV-
cred His experience had taught him that
those same. rays, which, though Invisible,
recorded themselves upon a Photographic
plate had in them the power Of doing
other unseen things.
The scientists Immediately saw the pos
sibility of using radium for healing pur-
poses. If it would thus scar the flesh the
question was naturally asked as to what
effect 1t would have upon the germs OF
disease which torture that flesh. Those
incurable diseases, such as cancer. which
had defied all other treatment, were nat
urally the first to be considered. Might
not these invisible rays which burned as
an al-powerful acid, yet the presence Of
which was not felt by the patient be
used to burn out those diseases which
had defied the cunning Of man through
all the ages?
Almost Immediately national agencies,
philanthropic associations and individuals
Of great wealth came forth to provide
means for obtaining what quantities OF
radium there were available and using
this radium in the healing of those dis
eases from which mankind suffers most
hOpelessly
The Austrian government took charge
of the pitchblende mines in Bohemia and
assumed control Of what radium may be
developed in it's borders that this radium
might be used to the greatest advantage
of suffering world. Institutions sprang
up in Paris and London which paid
fabulous prices for small quantities of
radium that these might be set to the
work Of healing. Individual hospitals here
and there were able to procure small
amounts of the radium and these have
been using it to the utmost upon the
cases of the heretofore incurable who
have tried in vain for effective treatment.
Infinitely small particles Of this radiun
are placed with some convenient adulter-
ant behind a piece of glass with fiat
surface, forming an instrument with a
long handle. The doctor or nurse whose
hand is protected from the effect OF the
radium by a glove of some material that
will not admit the radiu1n rays, applies
this instrument to the surface of a body
that is afflicted by some incurable dis
ease like cancer. The rays of the radium

TINKER TELLS PITCHERS
NOT TO WALK SLUGGERS

CINCINNATI OHIO. July 5.-Joe
Tinker, boss of the Reds, has ordered
the abandonment Of an extremely an
cient custom--that Of passing a
heavy hitter to get at n weak one.
No trick in the valendar causes as
much wrath among the bugs as this,
but Tinker isn't playing to popular
approval in ordering his pitchers to
discontinue the idea.
What's the use? says Joe. The per-
centage, even with a big slugger is
3 to l against him and in favor of the
pitcher. Why not 80 right after him?
Why decrease your own per cent OF
