New Use for the ROentgen Rays.

FIcm the Pail Mall Gazette.
Ore Of the reatest uses to which the
Roentgen photography has been applied is
the detection Of glass splinters and other
foreign bodies in the eye. The difficulty
Of photographing the eye Is very great,
because it is practically inclosed in a bony
case and cannot be got at. DR.. H. Lew
kowitsch has. however. invented a con-
trivance which enables this operation to be
successfully performed. The plate is so
made that it can be inserted (under
aesthetics. of course) into the orbital
cavity between the os lachrymale and the
eyehall, and in this way a photograph can
be taken which shows the position of OBJ
jects quite beyond the reach of the opn-
kaleidoscope. In fact, Helmholtzs WON
derful instrument is useless except where
the foreign body is located in transparent
tissue, and is free from eXtravasation of
blood, conditions which do not apply to
the Roentgen photograph at all.

Since wife murderer and would

from his home in Cooper district
and lodged in jail at this place, his
paralysis and other symptoms of
compression of the brain have not
improved. In fact the tedious and
painful journey from his home to
this city seemed to aggrarate all of
his serious symptoms. Sunday
it became apparent that an abscess
of the brain had developed, and
DIR. L. V. Guthrie, assisted by DIR.

Mr.. John w. English, medical
student, trephined the skull, evac-
uated the abscess and removed
eleven pieces of fractured skull,
and found and removed large
piece of pistol ball. The ball and
several large pieces of skull had
been driven back more than two
inches, into an important vital por-
ton of the brain. SiRce the oper-
alton he is more comfortable, but
his physicians entertain very little
hope of his recovery.

The Orgnns Disngrce.

The Commercial Tribune of Gin
cinnati, commenting on Mr.. Bryan's
great speech in New York, revives
the charge that the silver mine
owners would be benefited to the
extent of more than half billion
dollars by the reconciliation OF
silver in getting II dollar for some
thing that is worth only 53 cents.
The Cincinnati gold organ says it
is small wonder that the silver
miners owners captured the
Democratic party" i'll order to
bring about the condition which
will enable them to dump their
product into the minis at a profit
to them of So per cent, on every
dollar they receive.
To answer such organs as these
one has only to read other gold
organs. The Washington Post,
for example, says that if free coin
age would make the silver miners
rich by raising the 53-cent dollar
to 100 cents, it would be an "incs-
Unable advantage to the country
and the people would not envy the
comparatively few men who would
be especially benefited by rise
in the price of mining stocks"
Will the CONGRATULATIONS,
after reading its goldbug ex-
changes, tell us whether free coin
age would be an "inestimable adj
vantage" or not?- Cleveland Plain

Obituary.

L
The morning of August 18th wit
messed the departure from this life
of one of the most exemplary young
men of our community-Jas. Rob
ert Dabney, Jr. His death occur
red at the home of his father, Mr.
John r. Dabney, of Arlee. Fol-
some months consumption, with its
never Weakening grasp preyed up
on him, confning him to his room,
but through it all, he manifested a
most hopeful spirit and was fire.
quently heard, almost to the very
last, to plan his work for the flu
ture. He faced death as calmly
and serenely as one who is conf
dent of victory.
In his death our community lost
ono of it's best young men, our
State ono of its most active and en-
thusinstic teachers, and the church
of God one of it's staunchest advo-
Gates. Although but twenty-four
years of age, he had so endeared
himself to the hearts of all who
knew him, that every one was
stricken with deep sorrow at the
news of his death. No one know
him that was not made better by
his acquaintance. He has left be-
hind him record, absolutely spot
less, the power of which for good,
can not be measured, and will not
be fully known until revealed by
the light of eternity.
His judgments were not hastily
formed, but when fully made up
they were unerring. He was not
influenced by prejudices, but he
had clear cut convictions of duty
and he ever acted upon them.
For some time he contemplated
becoming a Christian before he
took the step. After careful inves-
tigation and earnest study he be-
came convinced of the historical
reality of Jesus Christ and the
truth of his religion. One more
step completed the work and he
accepted Him as personal savior.
He united with Zion Baptist
church and since then he has ever
been an ardent laborer in every de-
partment of church work. AL
though his religious life was short,
yet we are rejoiced to know that
his influence has always been on
the right side, and we believe that
that influence will last as long as
time exists. Truly may it be said
of him that the world is better be-
cause of his having lived in it, and
that Heaven is the richer by one
noble spirit
"We mourn not as those having
no hope" but rather We rejoice in
this example of the triumph of vir-
tue and in the fact that young men
c0m and do live clean, pure lives
and that it is not necessary-nay it
is absolutely dangerous for them to
live otherwise. "A. Is. w.

flow of gas, water and oil. The
gas came out for Il while at Il lively
rate and resenbled in appearance

let of oil was thrown about ten feet
high. Tho flow of oil soon ceased,
however, and the sand pump was
operated for about two hours, and
came up each time filled with
water and oil. The sand pump
could not exhaust the supply. The
capacity of the we'll cannot be
determined until it is pumped, and
the intention of the company has
rot yet been made known.-Pomc-
