The man who stole the vial of radium from the Chicago professor will hardly bo the better off for taking it. Though the contents of the vial are said to be worth two hundred thousand dollars, dol-lars, the thief could not sell to anybody; radium is so very scarce, that any one having it in his possession, other than a man known as a scientist and investigator, investi-gator, would at once be under suspicion; suspi-cion; the stuff would be as dangerous to keep as though the thief had stolen- a white elephant. An elephant on his hands It would be, and a detective to boot. Probably the radium wasn't stolen, for who would steal what would reveal his theft the moment he undertook under-took to deal'wlth It?
