ut Is we'll known says Cosmos paris
April 49,, according to translation made
for the Literary Digest that the bones are
relatively opaque to the x rays, and that
this opacity is due to the chemical com
position Of the fundamental bony tissues
which are made up of calcium salts (phos-
pilates, carbonates and fluorids). The ques-
ton would then be natural one whether
by introducing salt of lime into the veins
they could be made to leave a shadow on
the Photographic plate. The Physical In
stitute at Rome has performed this expert
ment. Into the brachial artery of a dead
body was injected paste of suifate of lime
sufficiently liquid to penetrate all the blood
vessels, and then, after it had hardened. the
hand was photographed. the Crookes tube
being held at a great distance so that the
shadows would be very sharp. The photo
graph showed that, as had been foreseen
the sulfate of lime is Opaque, and more so
than the bony tissue itself. All the arteries
stand out as black lines, and we have the
anatomy Of a human hand, from the point of
view Of the circulation Of the blood, obtained
directly"

His Debut In the Applejack Region.


There is a young doctor in the graduatins
class of one of the medical colleges of this
city who has high regard for the accom-
plishments of New Jersey in the manufac-
ture CT intoxicating beverages. He is a
rative of Kentucky, and a few days ago.
in company with three of his classmates,
he visited a farmer located just outside Of
Camden who endeavored to make things
pleasant for the boys. The jug OF apple
jack was passed around. and the southern
Esculapius, after a preliminary taste, filled
his glass full of the tempting beverage. No
amount of explanation on the part of his
friends could change his determination to
take a big drink.
Il have been raised on whisky" said he
land know what 1 am doing You need
not be afraid OF me taking more than
can carry"
Each time the jug went around he In
sisted on full glass of applejack. When
evening arrived IL was a sad procession
that moved toward the ferry. The host had
to hitch up and carry the southern gem
tleman to the boat. and his friends had "a
put him to bed at his boarding place, and
1t was several days before he could stand
any one walking heavily over the floor, and
week before he was up and about.
He looks forward to a sweet revenge this
summer, as he has ordered two gallons OF
appleJack to take home for his friends

If there Is one thing more than another
calculated to rouse the funny man of the
lay press" says The Lancet. at is the mere
idea of the suppression or regulation of
OSCILLATION from its undoubted capabilities
as medium for the spread Of contagious
disease. DR.. Coleman. reporting as to the
death Of Surbiton, states that he has not
been able to find an atom Of evidence of
local defects of sanitation to account for
certain cases Of fever, and goes on to re-
fer to the danger Of slight cases of diph-
liberia, for, IS he says. being so mild, they
are not always treated with the extreme
care that experience warns US that such
attacks when mild require. Many cases,
he points out, are not recognized; no medi-
cal man Is called in. and the individual
meanwhile by personal contact Is capable
OF spreading the disease; and of all means
the most personal and at the same time the
most natural and probable is kissing. 1t
should be rule, he says, in all houses to
never let child or grown-up person with
a sore throat, no matter what 1t may be
called or be supposed to be, kiss or be
kissed by another. He also suggests OBJ
vious precautions as regards spoons, cups
and such like articles"

MURDERS IN VARIOUS LANDS.
Italy mt the Head of the List In Eu-
rope as ReEmrds the Insecuritr of Life


rope as Regards the Insecurity of Life
From the New York Sum-
Italy has long had the unenviable dis
tinction of a larger average number of muir
ders In year than any other country in
Europe. the average In year being about
1900. Spain following with 30 France and
Germany with 100 each, Austria exclusive
Of Hungary with 500 and Great Britain
with go. In Great Britain the average
number of murders Is least in Scotland,
where this crime is very rare. An Italian
professor named Garafalo has recently &C.
of murderous propensities of individuals In
various nations. and European medical
men are discussing his statement that the
number of killings in Italy really amounts
to 1000 a year, which is equivalent to a
homicide in that country every two hours.
There are, however. some facts to be
taken into consideration regarding this
showing which mitigate 1t to some extent.
Many of the violent deaths brought about
In Italy are not properly murders, but kill
iEgs either in self-defense or under provo
cation amounting. in law, to Self-defense
The Italians. especially those in the ex-
treme southern end of the peninsula and III
the adjacent island of Sicily, are passion
ate race, and insults which in other coln-
the basis of civil actions for damages are
settled in a more summary way.
Professor Grafalo attributes much of the
tendency to homicide to the existence of
the vendetta, which has fingered longer in
Italy than in any other country, and to the
practice Of dueling. 1t Is generally be-
lieved that the enforcement of laws regard
ing murderous assaults is very lax in Italy,
but the latest reports show that the num-
Der of condemned persons is quite as large
there as in other countries where the crime
OF murder Is much rarer. For $500 murde,.
cases. the average in Italy, the convictions
number, on the average, 2,I0O in year,
though the penalty in many cases seems
disproportioned to the gravity of the Of
Tense.
The number of murders and homicides In
the United States, the population of which
Is nearly double that of the Italian king
dom-probably two and a half times larger
amounts in year to about 1900 and the
number of legal executions to but q frac-
ton of the whole number of convictions
about 100 In year. 1t is a reproach to
the American system of dealing with muir
thoritieS refer somewhat vaguely, that the
number of lynchings in the United States
invariably exceeds each year the number
of legal executions. In other words there
are more cases every year In which the
population of the neighbOrhood where a
crime has been committed take the law
In their own hands than there are cases
in which the law performs the same func-
ton. A European country which vies with
Italy In the number of murders committed
many In the heat of passion and without
generalization, is Hungary, but the crimi-
nal statistics OF that country are not care
fully coilated, and the Hungarian statis-
ticians while commenting on the high rate
OF homicide existing in Italy, fOrbear to in
stftute any comparison.

DYING OF THIRST.
Charles +. Willard Tells of His Pain
fuI Experience i'm the Desert.

Charles f. Willard Tells of His Pain
ful Experience in the Desert.
From the ST. Louis Republic
Have you any idea of the symptoms and
how one feels who is dying for want of
water. no other ailment affecting him?
Persons who have lived for several days
in dry, sandy deserts without a drop of
water to drink and who have finally be
come delirious and lay down to die, but
who were afterward rescued and slowly
nursed back to life and health, have told
some graphic stories of the horrors OF such
situation. Charles F. Willard leader of
the Willard exploring expedition iato the
Cocopah desert in 1894, gives his expert
ence as follows:
After the ordinary sensations of thirst,
my tongue began to swell and the most
intOlerable feeling of pain came over me
whenever ANYTHING came in contact with or
even touched my body. Where my clothes
rubbed me at the neck, Wristbands and
CUTS seemed like rasps of red-hot metal,
and was seized with an irresistible desire
10 throw them OF to the last stitch.
Il argued with myself continually, trying
TO reason that | mist keep my clothes on,
knowing that their removal meant death in
that awful glare of sunshine, yet / would
often find myself unconsciously tearing al
mental anguish also accompanied this feel
ing OF bodily discomfort. / would walk in

ing but water. NV tongue sweIIed
until it filled my mouth like a great, dry
sponge l could not talk, but am sure that
IL l could i should have cursed the cool
looking little lakes, which the desert air
often presented in mirageS before me
Finally on the evening of the third day

some OF the others were standing the or
deal better than and were making every
effort to reach the flowing wells before we
all persisted No man who has died Of
thirst ever suffered more than did
Il was on the very brink of the grave
and had even reached that stage where
there Is no more pain. Objects took upon
themselves grotesque shapes, and the
sounds of the wagon wheels in the sand
appeared as II the noise were miles away
At last all was oblivion. When the
train reached the flowing wells they gave
me water, but L knew nothing of it. For
weeks was In a delirium. but finally re-
covered, and hope to never again have
such an experience"

the big game migrates south to it, as a
warmer climate is to be found in the

abroad congregate, and in spite Of the
Wyoming state laws kill game wanton-
ly. If these men would kill couple Of
heads of each kind, taking care of the
meat. and following up wounded game,
little or no objection would be made.
These hunters, some Of whom are
Americans, pass through the National
park on their way home with wagon

A man who buys a dollars worth

has to give two Mexican dollars for
them. Why is the United States
dollar so much better than the
Mexican? Because the Mexican
dollar circulates at its bullion

the United States, gold standard

a gold dollar. Under free coin

will circulate only at its bullion
