London, Aug. 21.—Radon, a new discovery, costs $5,000,000 an ounce. Although it is the most expensive substance in the world, its use will make the treatment of cancer cheap er. It is a gas-like emanation of radium and will be cheaper to use than radium because it is 160,000 times as active. Radon is put up in tiny glass “seeds” the thickness of a human hair. The supply is inex haustible, but it has the disadvantage of short life. It loses half of its activity in about four days, while radium maintains half of its weight at the end of 1,700 years.

DIVORCED HUSBAND BRANDS HIS FORMER WIFE’S LOVER Barbaric Revenge Taken By Chicago Man in Presence of Woman and Her Daughter. Chicago, 111., Aug. 21.—Ancient European custom demanded that thieves be branded, sometimes on the forehead, so that they might always be known. "And why not brand the thief of one’s wife,” asked Victor Feleci, 30, today as Walter Johnson, 25-year old mechanic, lay helpless, tied hand and foot before him in the Feleci flat. Feleci's wife, Rose, only 19, later told the police Feleci lit a gas jet and heated a piece of wire. When the. wire was white hot Feleci drew a revolver and poked into Johnson’s side. "Now,” Feleci said to Johnson, “I’m going to brand you, and if you make a noise I’ll kill you.” The' little daughter. Coehettn. 27 months old, thought it a strange proceeding and laughed. There was a sizzling and the odor of burning flesh—and a stilled groan from Johnson. Six hours later Johnson appeared at the East Chicago avenue station with Feleci’s initials "V. F.” seared in scrawing three-inch high letters deep into his cheek. Sometime ago. Mrs. Feleci said, Feleci stnrted to mistreat her, to bent her and to stay away from home. “I could have stood the beating,” she said, "but he was out with women, so we separated. In May I went to Johnson’s room on Centre street. "This morning Feleci came back home. He went out and about 11 o’clock came back with Johnson. And thqn that burning,” she snid, and, after a pause, she continued. "But he had no right to do it. He’s no longer my husband. I got my divorce from him yesterday.” SHAW’S PRICE.
