Benefits of Roentgen's Ray.,

Gradually it is becoming apparent that
the discovery made by Prof. Roentren is
of very great benefit in surgery. Sur
geons are using the cathode rays very sue
cessfully in discovering the presence of
foreign substances and malignant dis
eases in the body. We have already pub
lished the facts in a number of cases in
which foreign substances, such as bullets.
points of knife blades, needles, etc. in
different parts of the body were dis
covered.
A few days ago the cathode rays were
used to determine whether or not a wo-
man was suffering from a malignant dis
ease. The experiment was made IN the
Mercy hospital at Chicago, and it was sue
cessful. A woman who complained of
great pain in that portion of one of her
limbs that is between the knee and the
hip, applied for relief. The surgeons
thought the pain might be caused by sar-
coma, malignant growth akin to can
Ger, but were not sure. The woman was
laid upon the table in the laboratory. The
Chicago paper that reported the case saws:
THE Crookes tube was placed above and
the sensitive plate beneath that part of
the thigh where the woman felt pain. A
long exposure was given, in order to in
sure a satisfactory result. A heavy black
cloth covered the diseased member and
protected the plate from ordinary rays of
light. The negative obtained was remark
ably clear and distinct The ray had
passed thraugh the thigh bone. 1t made it's
way even into the meddulary cavity-that
is, the hollow of the thigh bone contain
ing the marrow 1t showed that a portion
of the bone about midway between the
knee and the hip joint, about two inches
long and an inch wide. was entirely gone
and that its place was filled up by a
spongy growth"
The following day an operation was per-
formed, and the condition of the limb was
found to be exactly as it appeared in the
photograph. Sarcoma had attacked the
thigh bone From this case it is apparent
that the Roentgen ray furnishes a new
means for diagnosing, not only sarcoma.
but other diseases of the bones

The Madrid impartial is unwittingly

and the United States. Neither in. the
Mediterranean, whose entrance we COM
mand, nor on the Atlantic. will a single
American ship be safe" says the Impair
cial. So great a newspaper as the Impair
cial is should know that the American
shipping in the Mediterranean is practi-
cally nil. America has very few ships in
the foreign carrying trade and none at
all worth making blow over except the
four splendid ocean preyhounds OF the
American steamship line If the Span
iards were to bag all of the American
craft in the Mediterranean they would
probably find themselves in possession of a
few pleasure yachts and nothing else. If
the Spanish privateers wish to catch Amer
lean vessels they viii have to come over to
this coast and lay for the schooners and
steamers that hug the shore up and down.
The native Charlestoaian's love for his
city is proverbiaL Everybody has heard
of the Charleston man who abso lutely
refused to be convinced that that town"
was not the only city. He was to the
manner born. But he was not more ar
dent in his admiration for Charleston than
is bright young man who is now on the
staff of our esteemed contemporary, the
News and Courier. This bright young man
was sent the other day to write some
thing about the steamer Commodore. the
alleged Cuba filibuster, which is now at
a Charleston wharf filed with arms and
explosives. The young man wrote that
he found the steamer lying like a big
alligator asleep in the warm rays of the
Sabbath sum-" with decks so hot that they
were like a "stove full of fire." which
suggested that at any minute the explo-
sives might go off with a sudden sizzle.
Fortunately says the reporter, mo such
catastrophe occurred" The Charleston
man regards going anywhere away from
home as a catastrophe. Why? Maybe the
reporter gives some inkling of the reason
in another part of his story of the Com
modore, thus: THE mate snored in his
bunk behind the wheel house. Downstairs
the cook drowsed over the galley stove
trying to keep awake and get dinner
ready, while a row of small Afro-Ameri-
cans snored on the wharf" That is

The salvation Army Trouble,


Commander Banington Booth and his
wife, who had charge of the American
branch of the Salvation Army. and who
were summarily dismissed recently by
Gen. Booth of London. are being urged to
start an Independent organization in this
country. They feel very sore at their dis
missal, and it is not unlikely that they
will do what their American admirers
ask them to do.
1t does not appear. however, that they
have any right to complain. When Com
mander Booth and his wife came to this
country they knew what the regulations
of the Salvation Army were. They also
knew that Gen. Booth was a despot and
that he would remove them from their
positions whenever he saw fit to do so.
They had been so prosperous. however,
and had made so many friends, that they
had begun to think they were of too
much importance to be compelled to step
down and out without a word of explana-
ton.
If they should decide to set up a rival
organization the question Of the owner
ship of the Salvation Army real estate
in this country might become an import
ant one. This property amounts to about
$500 900, and was contributed by people
who expected that it would be used ex-
clusively for the benefit of the American
branch of the Salvation Army 1t is said
to stand in the name of the dismissed
Commander Booth.
The Salvation Army has been quite sue
cessful in accommodating property. Its pos
sessions are now estimated to be worth
about 100000 All of this vast sum is
under the control of Gen. Booth, the
head of the army. He does with it pretty
much as he pleases. 1t may be that so
much money makes him the despot he is
represented to be. AS long as the Saliva
ton Army was poor it prospered. and
there was harmony among its leaders.
When it got rich then came trouble. It
is pity il didn't continue poor.

FULL OF HUMAN BONES.
Grave That May Have Been Dug by
III. III. Holmes.

CHICAGO. Sept. 17.--In the dense woods
between North Evanston and Wilmette a
grave has been found full of human bones
The discovery was made by A. H. Parker
of Evanston, who. with his wife, has been

some weeks ago declared the place was a
grave, and urged her husband to investi-

consented, just TO show his wife that she

enough to turn up few ribs and a thigh
