been enabled to examine almost the
entire inner system of the human
body and has seen the faintest pulsa-

spond to the inhalations and the ex-
halations of the breath. He actually
has seen disease in all the vital or

cases by the sole use of the X ray. He
has outlined the internal organs and
he has seen the action of the joints
and spongy examinations of the bones
as though not covered with flesh. All
this has been accomplished in two
conditions, intense darkness in the
operating room and intensified light.

BUFFALO, N Y, April 2S.-Buha1o
has now a Pearl Bryan case. The
head of woman was found on the
farm of John Hoag, near Orchard park,
and the fact was reported to Coroner
Tucker. Hoag had been drawing ma
nure from the city, and while spread
ing it out discovered the head. 1t was
wrapped in a Buffalo newspaper and
had bullet hole in the occipital re-
gion. 1t seems impossible to trace the
head definitely, as Hoag had been
drawing manure from several stables
in this city. DIR. Tweedy, the post
norton examiner, has the member to
examine and ascertain, if possible, if
death was due to decapitation or the
hole in the skull Meanwhile, the po-
lice are trying to find body to fit it.
