A number of American physicians
who have been experimenting with the
Roentgen ray, express the belief that
it will cure some of the most serious
diseases. They say the magnetic ray
passes directly into the system, set
ting up electrolysis. This fberates
oxygen to generate ozone, which is
sure death to bacilli. The new form of
treatment is at least interesting, and
not likely to do any harm.

(From a late London photography

a firm believer in Confucius philosophy
he is tolerant toward Christianity and,
welcomes the aid given by foreigners to-
ward the betterment Of the Chinese ma,
tioa. Though a military leader, in the.
Chinese acceptation Of the term, he Is a,
man of peace and deplores war. His visit
to Europe and America is to study their
systems Of governments with a view Of,
adopting that which commends itself to
him in the systems.
Ii Hung Chang, since his attendance at
the Cars coronation in Moscow, has
been travelling in Europe and America
and has been everywhere received with
marks Of the highest consideration. 1t
NAV be remembered that on the occasion
of Gen. Grants tour around the world
he was the guest of Ii Hung Chang and
the recipient of much honor. Ii Hung
Chang still remembers the dead General,
and on each Decoration Day the Chinese
embassy in Washington places a wreath
of flowers on Grants tomb in Riverside,
New York. 1t was thus doubly meet that
America should honor the greatest living
Asiatic.
Ii Hung Chang is now in his 74th year.
and is a nan of commanding presence.

in the light IF his education, his first expe-
