Testing Their Value IN photographs
ing Growth~ In the Body
Another interesting experiment with the
X-rays Of Professor Roentgcn has been
performed at the physical laboratory Of
the ohnS Hopkins University IN Baltimore
There has been much discussion in the
medical world as TO the value OF the
Rocntgcn rays in locating gail.stoues and
other foreign growths in the body. This
experiment aimed 10 settle the question.
Several CalI.stones, a calculus. or bladder
stone, several pieces of wcod, some aIumi-
aum, and SeveraItacEs were placed between
two pieces OF beefsteak and the whole
was photographed. the ordinary vacuum
tube being used. The exposure was OF
about ten minutes duration.
The bIaddcr-stones, tacks. and aluminium
showed distinctly through the meat. but
the gall-stones and wood produced no
shadow. showing that they were as trans
parent to the rays as the beefSteaE. The
fact that the gall-stoues did not show.
while the bladder-stones cast shadow.
was accounted for by the fact that the
former are more OF an organic substance
than the latter.
TIE experiments. it is said. would seem
TO Indicate that the X-ray in it's present
method OF application will be OF little
use to surgeons in locating gau-stones,
while bladder-stOnes could be easily located

By the homes OF the back. IL the patient
could be placed in a position where the
bones would not cast a shadow over the
bladder-stones, the latter could be easily
located.

The final decision or the Commissioners
TO recommend an increase OF the liquor
license fee to 5000 for retail dealers and
$3.50 90 wholesalers is better than their
first determination to practically create a
liquor dealers trust OF The larger saloon
keepers by increasing the fees TO $500 and
$I00 respectively. As a matter or fact
municipalities make mistake in trying TO
turn the liquor traffic into public tax mill
FROM which 10 grind revenues 10 meet cx-
pendiiures. The higher the license the
greater viii he the adulteration ard sale of
poisonous liquor and also the more in
furious the traffic of villainous speaGeasies.
The argument of many temperance people
that there would be less drunkenness and
crime if liquor were sold without license
or regulation, just as tea. coffee or groceries
are supplied To the public, is worthy of
careful consideration. Dram drinking in
front of bar is the greatest curse OF the
liquor trade, ard the higher the license
and the more gi.ded the saloon the surer

think all International controversies VIII
in future be settled by arbitration, the
time might come when that method OF
adjustment would prove ineffective. In
that event our navy would fight as val
liantly as that OF any foreign foe, but it
is lamentable fact that victory generally
perches on ships with the heaviest guns
and the best fighting facilities, and against
that advantage not even the welI-known
courage and ability OF our sailors would
serve to prevent defeat.
The time has come when both Congress
and the general public must throw off
the feeling OF confidence in our good
fortune that seems to prevail, and imi-
tate the example of other countries, and
prepare for war in time OF peace. 1t may
be argued that the good sense OF the
disputantS viii always govern, and that
Il declaration of war could only follow an
obstinate and arbitrary demand. But
the wariikc sentiment aroused by the
Venezuelan message illustrates how easy
it would be 10 bring about hostile demon
strations, and as the result of that incident
cannot yet be foretold, we should at least
do as Great Britain is doing, and dry our
powder for immediate use.
Shall we or shall we not boast of navy

TOO BADLY NEEDED HERE
No Credit Given Sir JuIian's Re-
ported Summons to London.
Many Important Matters Affecting
His Government Are Pending
and Prevent His Absence.

Momentary crcdencc was given in Eng
land u day or two ago to q statement in
the Brmingha IN ost that Sir Julian Paunce
fote was going to London TO discuss Vcne-
Zuelan matters with Lord Salisbury be-
cause that journal is the home paper of Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain and is usually supposed
to have an inspiration on colonial matters
from the colonial secretary of the Sails
bury government.
If there is any truth in the report, how
ever, the British ambassador here is totally
unaware OF it and those near him declare
it to be absurd in view of the fact that
just at this moment numerous important
negotiations between Great Britain and the
United States are progressing in way
that makes compulsory the presence OF Sir
Julian Pauncefote in Washington.
Among thcse questions is the convention
providing for a Bering Sea claims commits
sion which has been before the Senate for
ratification for over a month. In this con-
nection an embarrassment has occurred
from the fact that the Senate in executive
session authorized changes in the convention
as agreed upon by Secretary OlDey ard Sir
Julian Pauucerote, which II is contendod
embody an inaccurate version or quoted
passages from tue Treaty of Arbitration.
Secretary olney recently appeared before
the Committee on Foreign Relations, and
it is understood asked that the original
wording should be restored.
Then there IS the boundary convention
for making convenient points OF the l4lst
meridian IN Alaska, for which Congress
appropriated S75. 900 in u Joint resolution
approved February 20, 1886, the under
standing being that this work ought IL bc
accomplished at the earliest possible mo-
ment
In addition to these matters there is the
general arbitration treaty, OF which 50
much is heard and SO little is definitely
known, and the Venezuelan limited arbitTa-
ton which occupies the serious attention of
both governments, From none OF these
matters would il be possible for Lord
Salisbury 10 withdraw Sir Julian. even

interests affected. as not one of them is un-

the fact should not belost sight of that there

An investigation viii demonstrate that the
stock OF the present monopoly has been
largely watered. and that all its estimates
are based on this inflated capital. Figures
have already been presented 10 show that
a similar plant could be established at
less than half its paper value. that would
probably serve the public at about $40
per phone. There is nothing unreasonable
in asking Congress 10 reduce telephone
rates TO meet the prices of other companies
should it not be advisable to admit compe-
tition. In making this request The Tines
voices the sentiment of nearly every teie-
phone patron in Washington, as is shown
by the large list OF subscribers secured BY
the Home Telephone Company.

Under the circumstances the report OF the
House Committee on Naval Affairs is n
reIna rkable evidence of peanut economy
that should not be coUntenanced 10y the
American people. Had it been presented
10 the British parliament with a series OF
war clouds lowering over defcnseless
country, the committee would have been
roundly denounced for incompetency and
lack OF patriotic fo foreSight, and their
abortive effort would have been recom-
mitted with instructions TO hire a ship

the situation.

of those who have studied the situation in

out OF the way speakeasies will attempt TO
