Dr.. Carl Barnes. an eminent eastern
medical authority, has discovered that
the Roentgen rays may be put to a
most useful practical purpose as a
means Of preventing burial alive. He
says they enable one to see distinctly
whether or not the blood has become
decomposed; the first and quickest sign
OF death. He placed his own hand and
dead hand on the same plate holder,
thus obtaining the two X-ray pictures
side BY side on the same plate, and the
resulting difference in the picture was
20 startling that he at once proceeded
to make q number OF similar pictures,
obtaining the same results in every
case.

Iectually Attractive
One OF those "emancipated. women
who are said to be abroad In the land
but who can't be distinguished by men
from any other women, writes - fol
lows:
Without going into all the dry de-
tails of the relationship Of the sexes
In primitive times and among unciyi-
lized peoples, we may Just take the
broad facts which are Known to and
admitted by everyone. Woman has. Of
course, always been and always must
be mans physical inferior-and In times
past she has been actually IL not lit
orally his slave. She has been the toy
and sport Of man, with one. and only
one.- chance Of asserting herself.
This has been the exercise OF per-
sonal charm, which has enabled ner 10
move In man the passion called ioVe'
and thereby to secure an ascendancy
over him. The love Of power, which Is
common to both sexes, has been hers,
and realizing that she could only be
powerful by arousing the sentimental
passion In man, she has put forth all
her endeayors to find favor In his
sight as the old phrase has 1t.
Nov. as one Of those women TO
whom men apply the scornful term
'emancipated,' should like to point
out this important fact. that our sex
Is gradually beginning to recognize
that 1t is ignoble to seek for admira-
ton simply for its doll-like qualities.
We have not lost our vanity-though
We are no vainer than men-but we
are now aiming at winning admira-
ton In worthier fields, namely, in in
tellectual walks.
I'VE shall still pride ourselves on
our good looks when we have them;
we shall still do our best to dress well
and tastefully; we shall still look for
ward in wifehood, and shall not lose
our maternal instincts, but we shall no
longer allow our features and our
gowns to dominate our lives
Undoubtedly we are 'emancipated.'
All fields of activity are being opened
to US, and the men who now sheer and
gibe at US for our 'newness' will sooE
come to see that we are more compal-
and possess more lasting at
fractions than - the days when our
faces were our fortune and when few
wrinkles and gray hairs announced thu
end Of our reign.
ITO put my arguments into a nut
shell, my contention is that the pre-
vailing passion Of women has been the
love of admiration, because it has be-
come an hereditary instinct of the race
that in personal charm lay our only
power. Now that we are at last al
lowed to cultivate our intellects. and
put them to practical use, our bid for
power will be on what consider high
sr grounds"

For several years past the name Of
the Prince OF Naples has been matri-
monially mentioned in connection with
nearly every eligible princess in Eu-

vide Roman society into several par

still has in Italy many opponents. Ac-
cording to others. the Prince will look
