THE POLICE MAKING A BLUFF
Taking Up Slot Machine War to d.
vert the Attention.

A gentleman who has been interested in
the observance of the Nicholson law said
yesterday that he believed the police de-
partment has recently taken up the move
ment against slot machines in order to di-
vert public attention from the open and no
torious violations of the Nicholson law in
this city. Despite the fact that attention
has been called every week to the fact that
all the saloons do rushing business on
Sunday and after IL o'clock the police de-
partment continues to countenance the vio-
lation.
Reports received from the patrolmen on
the slot machines indicate that all have been
removed or turned TO the wall, except in
two cases. those at Igoes cigar store and
Navin's drug store The superintendent pro-
poses to make test of. these. if necessary.
He said no arrests will be made at present
but IL the machines are not removed arrests
will follow. The police, it is understood
are gathering evidence against those play
ing the machines at Navin's and Igoes and
soon as there is sufficient evidence to
make convictions possible the players will
be arrested for gambling.
The slot-machine owners have formed a
combination and A. j. Beveridge and II. N
Span have been retained TO secure an in
junction to prevent the police from inter-
fering with the machines until the pending
cases are decided.

Some Possibilities of the New Photo

Possibilities grave beyond the power of

seems near at hand when houses must be
built of brick or iron and the wooden houses
of to-day discarded, and all for the pur-
pose of maintaining the privacy Of the

that Professor Routgen, OF the Wurzburg
University has perfected process
by which he can photograph through
wood, flesh and other organic sub
stances. The only things that are opaque
to this process, it seems, are inorganic SUBJ
stances, such as the metals. The process
is due to a peculiar light he uses. He takes

raphy. 1t is claimed that this light pene-
trates all organic substances as readily as
ordinary light penetrates glass. According
to the reports, Prof. Routgen has photo
graphed an iron weight contained within
a wooden box. and has also produced pic
ture OF the bones in human hand. without
showing the flesh. Hidden metals have been
photographed without removing the cloth
that ordinarily covers the front of a camera
while not in use, the light penetrating not
only the cloth, but several pieces of wood
The report says the Professor Is now using
his discovery to photograph broken bones
and bullets within the fesh. thus rendering
great assistance to the practice Of surgery.
There are so many ways IN which this dis

TRYING A CURIOUS PLAN.
Teaching Modern Science In the Oldest Of
Oriental Languages.

Teaching Modern Science In the Oldest Of
Oriental Languages.
The Punjab province Of India has
been for some years the scene OF an in
teresting academical experiment.. that
of communicating western science, phi
losopKy and literature TO the people
through their mother tongue, and to the
educated through their learned Ian
guages, and not in an English dress, as
elsewhere.
Sixty three years ago Macaulay and
Duff destroyed the very different PERM
cious system of bribing native students
of Sanskrit, Persian and Arabic to read
their own sacred books. Gradually the
learned classes came to be left out Of
our state system Of public instruction,
with evil results. Sir Donald Mcleod
accordingly devised and Sir Charles
,Aitchison carried out the plan Of at
once attracting these, in the Punjab at
least, by oriental titles and degrees.
and of examining all students for the
ordinary university degrees through the
medium Of their own vernacular. The
Punjab university and its oriental col
lege were founded at Lahore for these
two ends.
The latest report Of the Edinburgh
graduate, Mr.. ]. Slime, M. A.. who is
director Of the department, is not very
favorable to the success Of the double
experiment, now some 8 years old. He
declares that "the prospects of adv need
education through the medium Of the
vernacular are not improving" at least,
and Sir Dennis Fitzpatrick, the heuten-
ant governor, has ordered special re-
port ON the subject. In the Oriental
college last yearonly 8 students were
reading for the title Of Shastri, or hon-
ors in Sanskrit; IA for Visharada, or
high proficiency in the same; IL for
Manlavi Fail, or honors in Arabic; Z
for Manlayi Aim, or high proficiency;
Z for Munshi Fail, or honors in Per-
sian; for Munshi Aim, and 7 for the
Gurmukhi title in the Sikh vernacular.
OF the 1T candidates in the local uni
versity in Sanskrit third passed. OF
33 in Arabic two-thirds passed, and so
in Persian and Gurmukhi- The only en-
couraging fact is that every year the
number Of the Pundit class who take
honors and degrees in Sanskrit is ris-
ing, and more than half Of them 60 to
the Punjab examinations from the 9TH
er provinces where there are no such
tests -Edinburgh Scotsman.

A Grave Riunder.

A German gentleman one day received
a telegram from the proprietor Of hotel
in the south of France informing him
Of the death Of his aunt, and asking for
particulars as to the disposal of the
body. The gentleman begged that the
body might be sent to Cologne, and. aft
er telegraphing to the deceased g rela-
tions to assemble in that city, travelled
thither himself. In due time the coffin
arrived. On being opened it was found
to contain the body, not Of an aunt, but
Of q Russian general in full uniform.
Further kilograms elected the informa-
ton that the coffin containing the body
Of the deceased lady had been forwarded
in error to the relatives Of the Russian
general at st. Petersburg Urgent tele-
grams were dispatched to st. Petersburg,
and after three days of anxious waiting
this answer was received: Your aunt
has been inferred with full military
honors. London Tit-Bits.
