SUCCESSFUL SEARCH
FOR A TUBE or RADIUM

A tube of radium worth over
$4,000 was presented to the Liver
pool Royal infirmary. 1t was used
in the treatment of a patient and
fixed to his face in the ordinary
manner by dressings and left in
position all night. When a member
of the staff arrived in the morning
he found thar the tube was miss
ing. The theory that the patient
might have swallowed it was aband-
oDed after a careful sea ch With
the Roentgen rays. 1t was then
suggested that the tube might
have fallen out and been removed
with the sweepings from the floor
of the ward. The car which con-
tanned these sweepings was about
to leave the infirmary, and orders
were given for it to ,emain. The
services of Wilberforce, the
physicist of Liverpool university,
ere requisitioned. When he ar
rived he placed his e]lectroscnpe on
the edge of the car. and was able
to state that the radium vas there.
AS it was then growing dark the
search was discontinued until t.,
following morning, the cart in the
meantime being strictly guarded.
The search was resumed next day
by Nilberforce and the infrmsly
officials. DR.. Holland, roentgeno-
Jogist of the infrmsry, got into
the cart and emptied it. of tle ruiz
bish, which was placed in buckets.
When the twelfth bucket had been
handed to WilbPrforce he discover
ed in it the missing tube which was
deposited in safe keeping in the
