X RAYS IN SURGICAL WORK.


 The Photography of Broken Bones at
 London HospitaI-Long Exposure for
 a Fat Man--Slight Movements of the
 Subjects Not Fatal to Good Results < in the Roentgen Process-scenes
 While the Pictures are Taken.
 It may be said at once that the new photography will never become popu- lar hobby because the apparatus is too expensive, but there is some danger of Professor Roentgens discovery being ranked in popular estimation with palmistry, magic lantern entertain ments, and Sleight-of- hand perform ances. There is more than one estab- lishment already where one has only to pay a fee ranging from sixpence to guinea to have any part of his or her skeleton photographed" But the x rays deserves a better fate than this. From time to time fragmentary &C., counts of sporadic experiments at Lon- don hospitals have been published, but at Kings College hospital, the home of all the all-conquering antlseptic sur gerry, the new photography has for
 
 clinical work. By special permission of the warden, the Rev. N. Bromley, representative was enabled to spend several hours in the hospital at a time when he was fortunate to find the sur gicaI registrar actively engaged with his apparatus. and some account of what he saw will doubtless be read with interest
 Since it became known that the X rays were utilized at Kings the num- Der of persons who have called with needles and other foreign bodies in hands and feet is remarkable. Noth- ing, of course can be easier than to se- cure a negative showing the shadow of --say-a needle in the extremities. An exposure of one minute suffices for the hand, and of three minutes for the foot In a simple case it is not even necessa- ny to take a photograph-a look at the hand by means of the cryptoscope an- swers every purpose. But if it be thought advisable to take photo graph, the developing only requires a very short time In the bath the ordi- nary photograph of the part first ap- pears. then the too, too solid flesh dis appears, and ultimately beneath ones gaze the bones or foreign bodies stand out in strong white relief.

THE RUINS OF DoNGoLA.

I should like those in England who would leave the fertile provinces of the Soudan under the rule of the Baggara slave-dealers to wander through what was once the town of Dongola and ride across the wasted country that sur rounds it. Dongola is in ruins; not house in it remains whole; every build- ing has been gutted; where once were busy streets the palms now rise above the wrecked habitations, and every thoroughfare is choked with dense undergrowth of thorny bushes and tall, rank grass. The great bazaar, with its covered arcades, one of the chief marts of Africa, is now heap of rubbish.
 Of the public buildings and the hand some, well-furnished mansions of the principal merchants the red-bricl walls, with gracefully arched doors and windows, alone remain standing, while within them one can still see traces of columned corridors and delicate east ern commentators. Where once ex- tended riverside quays, swampy ground now slopes to the Nile. The broad avenue where the market used to be held has disappeared; the pleasant gardens of fruit trees and flowers have been destroyed For twelve years Dongola has been uninhabited; for the Baggara declared it to be-as the city of the unbeiieving Turks-an accursed place, in which no one should be per- mitted to dwell. Those who knew the Dongola of old find it difficult now to find their way through the wrecked streets, and can scarcely recognize the houses in which they formerly lived. It is a scene of wanton destruction; the proverh says that where the foot of the Turk has trod, the grass does not grow" So 1t is with the Baggara. He disdains to do any work; by profession he is a robber, and destruction is his pastime; he enslaves where he does not kill, and in the place of what he de-. stroys he creates nothing. Civilization is abhorrent to him; after plundering and destroying the city he left the bod ies of the massacred and nutilated in- habitants to rot in the streets, and went out into the desert content to live tlle lllt Ol d SdNdSG III OIlSf VI LIlS SqQetl- i'd novels of which Dervish deym, or permanent camp, is composed.
 Now, as the visitor walks through the melancholy ruins of the once prosper ous city and enters the long abandoned habitations, he comes across strange and sometimes loathsome sights. It is such a city as he has wandered through in dreams, in whose foul, de- serted streets and alleys he expects at every step to come across some horri- ble thing.-London Times Correspon- dence.

THE COMING ENTERTAINMENT
 OF THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.

OF THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.
 For the first time the committee of the Exchange are to appear in the role of entertainers. It is now assured that the long discussed and much- desired up-town location has been found and the Exchange will be moved within two or three weeks. This move means much in the way of enlarged plans and added responsibility and financial questions at once become prominent. As the first step in solving these ques- tions the committee announce and promise delightful evening for De- cember 4.
 To those who have met or heard Mrs. Hannibal Williams of New York in Der charming and unique rendering of Shakespeare or Browning, the an- nouncement that she will appear in Colonial Hall of the Historical society building will be sufficient. It is her first appearance ip' New Haven, but she Is widely and most pleasantly known in New York and the larger cities.
 The play selected is Midsummer Nights Dream" It is reeited without notes or prompting. with bits of narra- tive and description linking the parts together, and with the Mendelssohn music as an accessory. The music will be furnished by members from the New Haven Symphony orchestra.
 Mrs. Williams is personally most charming, and private letters received by the committee are more than en- thusiastic as to her dramatic ability.
 The following ladies have consented to serve for the evening as patroness- es: Mrs. Francis Beach, Mrs. c. B. Bowers, Mrs. Robert Brown, Mrs. Cady, Mrs. T. w. T. Curtiss, Mrs w. F. Day, Mrs. F. B.

The Pumpkin Pie Yindicated.

The trouble is not IN the pumpkin
pies of to-day. They are compiled
with even more skill than those of our
grandmothers, for the pumpkin pie
has kept step with the progress OF the
age. The change has been wrought
not in the pie, but in those who sit in
the cleaning weeping for the good old
pies that are gone. We remember
our grandmothers' pumpkin pies be-
cause then we had not picked our
stomachs with whisky and filled our
systems with tobacco and broken
down our health by all sorts of ex-
cesses, and we didn't have dyspepsia
until we had to sit up nights and
nurse it and drink gallons and gallons
OF sarsapar1lla. Green apples and
sour gooseberries and goards tasted
good to us then, when we were grow
ing two inches day and roamed at
will in the open air and had more
health than we could feed. 1t would

green apples and gourds of our grand
mothers. Oh, the pies are nll right.

A San Francisco Woman Who Has
the Longest Hair in the World.
Mrs. D. J. Davis, of San Francisco,
Cal, has the longest hair in the world.
It clusters in great mass about her
head, and though she is a tall woman.
being five feet nine inches in height,
her long tresses, when uncoiled, sweep
upon the ground for nearly foot.
Her hair is just six feet and eight
inches in length.
Mrs. Davis comes OF family re-
markably alike for their height and
the length of their hair. ThoughiMrs.
Davis is five feet and nine inches in
height, she is shorter by nearly an inch
than either of her three sisters. But
while they have the advantage in height
they cannot equal her in the matter OF
hair, notwithstanding that all three
have curls over yard anda half long.
Not the least remarkable part of this
wonderful hirsute development is that
while all three of Mrs. Davis's sisters
had long hair from early childhood,
the young lady herself could never In
duce her tresses to fall below her
shoulders, so that it is only within the
past years that they have developed
such q tendency to eclipse Paderew-

ing. When a girl gave very little
attention to my hair, and in conse-
quenoe it did not grow at all. Some
times I felt very much chagrined to
see how much longer and prettier was
the hair of all three of my sisters, but
I was somewhat careless. When I be-
came woman 1 suddenly developed a
desire to have long hair like theirs,
and began to take the utmost care of
what little I had. Every morning,
and sometimes twice a day, I brushed
it thoroughly, but it did not grow any
better. Then I noticed that the brush,
after the daily application to the hair,
even when the latter had no tendency
to fall out, would be filled with very
fine hairs, and soon I realized that
while the brushing had no effect upon
the long hair it efectually killed the
new growth, and I decided to stop.
"Since then have used nothing but
a very coarse comb. Every morning
I go over the hair thoroughly and
carefully, removing every snarl until
it is as free and flowing as water.
Then braid it and coil it into varied
coifeurs about my head. Inever used
cosmetics on my hair. New York

quite old and has no doubt suf-
fcred some rough usage, it is in
good condition. It weighs 10S pounds,
nearly eighty.four pounds heavier
than the average bicycle in use to-
day. An ingenious and curious part
is the frame, which is piece of iron
curved to fit the wheel. The steer.
ing gear; while not elaborate in either
finish or design, is very strong. A
large iron coaster is attached to the
forks above the front wheel. The
saddle is large affair, being of heavy
wood, eighteen inches long and twelve
inches wide, and is adjustable, as is
the pedals. The diameter of the
front wheel is thirty-six inches, and
the rear wheel twenty.eight inches.
The wheels are made of ash.
This bicycle, which is regarded as a
novelty now, is valued at $500. When
wheels of this design were in use,
cycling trips consisted of short rides,
which were sufficient to exhaust the
enthusiasm of the most ardent rider.
The cyclists costume to-day is radi-
cally different from those in use in
1858. In those days the owner of q
bicycle was content to ride in his or
dinary attire, but the modern bicycle
and the up-to. o.date suit are entirely
different from the above picture.

A Fertilization Yarn From Arizona.

An Arizona man is thus quoted in
the Washington Star: "There are
springs IN Arizona where almost any
object can be petrifed. Frogs, snakes,
lizards and other reptiles have ven.
tured into some of these springs and
been turned to stone. Leaves, twigs
and branches of trees have undergone
the same process. But the most re-
markable instance is that of cattle
man. He was in the habit of standing
in one of these springs and bathing.
He did this for some time, when he
began to feel peculiar pains in his
feet and ankles, and he stopped, but
the pains continued, followed by a
numbness that Dever left them. He
lost all control of the muscles of that
part of his body, and it was but few
weeks until he realized that his feet
had become petri6ad, and for the last
year he has been unable t. walk. The
rest of his body was somewhat affect
ed, but not so much so, as the water
had not submerged him."

Brumbie Horses in Australia.

The Brumbie horse of Australia is not
distinct equine variety, but, like the
wild cattle and buffaloes of Australia,
possesses peculiar attributes. 1t is
the descendant of runaways of i'm
ported stock.
Not very long ago the Brumbie was
as great o scourge to the Western
Australian farmer as the rabbit is to-
day, though as scourge it is more
easily dealt with than is the rabbit.
Animals showing extra quality were
reserved during this work of destruc-
tion and to teach them it was neces-
sary to stop them from galloping.
This was done by running packing
needle threaded with twine through
each ear and tying the ears down. A
horse so treated will not gallop.

must guard his own horses carefully,

mesticated brethren. 1t is a difficult
matter to recover lost stock from
Brumbie herds. Some years ago por-
tions of the country were almost de.
vastated by the Brumbies and several
methods were used to rid the lands Of
these wild horses. Some farmers
fenced in their water pools with
barb wire in such manner that only
the sheep could get at the water, and
in this way tens of thousands OF the
horses perished. Others built long
parallel lines of fences wide enough
for one horse to enter. The Brumbie
horse entered into these, would find
at the other end man with sharp
knife, who slashed their juglar veins,
leaving them to gallop away to their
native brush and die
