Mesothoriun znL Radium

Mesothorium differs from radium cnly in price and in a more rapid loss of power Whereas it has been calculated that it would need 1900 years before the energy of a gramme of radium is reduced by one-half. mesothorium retains it's full energy cnly for the first few yeats. After this the force is gradually dissipated until after twenty years only about one-half of it's original energy re mains. It's great advantage over radicm is its comparative cheapness. although even for mesothorium the enormous sum Of $5O000 per gramme !s being asked
