Henry Fairfax Ayres, the little nine
year-oId son of Capt Charles q. Ayres,
Z. s. A, saved a little companion from
drowning u few days ago. A party Of
boys were fishing off the ship wharf,
where the water is very deep; the twelve
year-oId son Of Mr.. Julian Buckley, fell
into the water and sunk twice. Plucky
little Fairfax Ayres hooked his feet in a
broken board, and swinging himself over
the wharf cried:
Don't get scared. Jack, IL help you"
and he reached Jacks hand. He held fast
to il uutiI boat was pushed to him. Such
presence OF mind in one so young shows
him a worthy scion of distinguished an
cestors. and entities him to life-saving
medal. Should this manly little fellow

EASILY TRACED THE NEEDLE.
First Practical Use Of the Roentgen
Photography.

BERLIN, Germany, Feb. 10
The first practical use of the
Roentgen photography was made
today. A poor young seamstress,
who swallowed a needle last week,
was likely to lose her life.
It was decided to take her to
the Central Roentgen Photogra-
phic Association. A camera-hold-
er containing sensitized plate
was placed against a heavy block
of wood at one side of the barred
breast of the patient. The light
was turned on, and after five min
utes the current was cut off.
When the plate was developed
in the dark room it showed every
bone of the upper part of the
body, and the needle was found
lying point downward in the low
er right angle of the stomach.
The patient was placed under
the influence of chloroform and
the cause of her sufferings, which
threatened her life, was taken
from the stomach. Tonight she
is pronounced out Of danger.

II this table had been supplemented
by another exhibiting the market value
of the metals. 1t would have shown
that while in the first seventy years Of
the century the production fiuctuated
SO enormously that in one decade only
four ounces OF silver were produced to
one of gold. and In another the dispar-
ity was nifty to one. the average an
nual market ratios ranged for almost
the whole time In the neighborhood Of
15t to l. and never varied more than
from 1904 to 1 to 1925 to 1. It would
also have shown that while the pro-
duction from 1870 to 1895 approached
more nearly to the mint proportions
than ever before in the century. the
