We have celebrated and greatly en-
joyed another Christmas and are stand
ing upon the threshold of New y ear
During the year just closing many of
us have basked in the sunshine of pros
perity. while others have been stranded
upon the barren rocks of adversity.-
and afiliction, when properly met, tend
to develop energy of character and give
us courage, strength and fortitude to
bear the burdens of life. AS we are
now entering upon new year let us re-
member that much of our happiness
lies in progress, in advancing from a
less perfect to more perfect state
Let us try to improve our lives, and
cultivate those virtues that contribute
to our happiness and welfare, and if
| we live it may be ours to look back
upon the year 1897 with joy instead of
ren1orse.

The Roentgrn Rays.

The electrical ether waves, which
Herr and others have experimental
with, are, as a rule, too large TO de-
compose the salts of a Photographic
plate, but they can traverse OPAQUE
substances, such as the human body,
without causing sensation, as Tesla's
experiments showed. II they are too
large to affect the sensitive plate and
the eye, they are also too large to irri-
tate the nerves. Roentgen and others
have demonstrated. however, that GER
tain of these electric rays or wave mo-
tions a affect the sensitive film indi-
rectly by exciting phosphorescence in
bodies on which they fall. Hence the
Roentgen silhouettes and the cryptic
scope OF Salvioni are already familiar
to the readers Of this column.-London

Pictured In the Dens Whore Editors and
Proof-rsaders Toll.
Once upon a time a wealthy proof
reader who possessed an entire box Of
matches was accosted by an INDECENT
editor who wanted fire for his pipe and
possessed nothing but a copy Of the
Light Of Asia" The pr~oof-reader
thus importuned declared he could give
his comrade no assistance, as his
matches were hard come by and he had
nothing but a good. fat salary between
himself and a heartless world. The cd
itor declared he was in the same FIX,
and the proof-reader relented and gave
him n measly fugitive match with q
head on 1t that was so small II was
only a pimple.

-Cowper.
And how could he IL that nose we're
fashioned Of celluloid. gold, platinum
or even a baser metal? asks the New
York World. Building a nose" sounds
queer, and yet that Is just what sur
geons are doing almost every day.
Every surgeon who possesses mechan-
ical ability enough to be called a "plas-
tic surgeon" will take a contract to
build a nos just as a builder takes a
contract for building a house.
The operator, In the case OF a man,
the bony portion Of whose nose has
been destroyed. first emoves the dead
bone until he finds healthy bone.
He is then ready to proceed with the
building. Holes are drilled into the
sound bone for the reception OF the
metallic frame work which Is to sup
port the flesh that will give the nose
the appearance of having its natural
sony and cartilaginous support.
Probably the most famous case OF
nose-building is that of the late DR..
Thomas Sabine. The operation was
performed at Bellevue hospital. The
patients nose had been entirely de-
stroyed by a disease called lupus.
The surgeon transplanted the middle
finger OF the patients hand to replace
the nose. To the house surgeon fell the
task of destroying the nail. For this he
used a powerful acid. In relating his
experience recently he said that he sup
posed his work had proved successful,
but after the finger had beer trans
planted he found that the nail was in
clined to grow again, and he was
obliged to Use the acid repeatedly be-
fore 1t was finally destroyed.
There are surgical records of other
similar cases in many of which the nail
had grown on the finger nose"
In ordinary cases where only the
bony portion Of the nose has been de-
stroyed. celluloid is said to prove most
satisfactory, as II Is better borne in
living tissues than any other substance.
"A case was recently shown at the
Academy OF Medicine. The patient was
a young man whose nasal bones had
been destroyed through diseases. The
kin had fallen into the cavity.
The shape of his nose was restored
by an aluminium tripod. The surgeon
drilled a hole in the frontal bone for
the reception of one branch of the APP
paratus, while the other branches fitted
Into holes which had been drilled in
the upper jawbone. To he'%untrained
eye the nose had every appearance OF
being normal.

Game Law In Central Africa

Game is to be preserved in Central
Africa. Major Won Wissman has set
aside a portion of German East Africa.
within which no shooting will be al
lowed without a license from the gov
ernor OF the colony. A license to shoot
elephant or rhinoceros costs 500 rupees
a year for a native; females and young
elephants with tusks weighing less than
six pounds must not be shot at all.
White men will pay 100 rupees for the
first elephant shot and $50 rupees for
every other, 80 rupees for the first two
rhinoceroses, and $50 rupees for all af-
ter them. Monkey, beasts OF prey, bears
and birds, except ostriches and secre-
tary birds, may be killed without a
license.
