A travelling man. who often visits this
sectiop.. few days ago purchased q
thousand. mile book OF the D., s. 8. Il A.
AGENT at st. Ignace, The book, by some
mistake, was dated 1894, and the limit
was punched in the cover at the day he
bought 1t instead OF a year ahead. The
purchaser rode with several conductors,
getting up to Marquette and neither OF
them noticed it, but when he got on Con-
ductor Sundberg's run, Marquette to
HoOghton, the ticket was spotted at
once. Theowner explained, but explana-
tons did not go with the autocrat oil the
train. He took up the book and wanted
the fare. This the traveller refused and
asa compromise Sundberg tel graphed
to st. Ignace. No answer was received
by the time Houghton was reached, but
Sundberg held onto the book. The
owner said he was going to have the
book and swore out warrant, detain-
ing the train ten minutes, when instruc-
tons we're received to issue a new boox.
Tbs was done and everything seemed
to be settled, but yesterday morning the
travelling man was explaining the exper.
fence to friend, when, upon taking out
the book to illustrate, he was knocked
clean out to find that it had neither date
nor limit punch at all.

the sum to be obtained by gifts OF ave-
rage size. and from many individuals.

sunGERY,s SUCCESS WITH K RAYS.
Needle That Had Been in ""
Foot Nine Years Revealed
New York Herald-'thJ


New York Herald-1th.)
with the ala ~ the mysterious Y rays
produced in vacuum bulbs OF nus own
make. Dr. William j. Morton. oil NO. ~
east Twenty-eighth street. oD'al"e''
several DAYS ago, a shadowgraph OK the
homes in a woman's foot. and was as thus
enabled to locate piece OF needle tna'
had been there for nine years.
The piece was nearly half an inch IN
length. Physicians and surgeons tried al
various times to locate the needle, but
were unable 10 do so, as 1t had WORKED
away from the point at which II entered.
The woman suffered much pain, ana was
unable to wear a shoe a greater part OF
the time.
Her physician. noticing the success
which attended the efforts or scientists
10 photograph bones in the body. took
her to DR.. Mortons office. and obtained
an excellent shadowgraph Of the foot, and
exactly located the piece Of needle, which
had become oxidiZed.
DR.. Morton used static-machine 10
generate the electricity, and the woman
sitting in front OF it, placed her foot on
a Photographic plate-holder, in which
there was a highly sensitized plate. Just
above her foot was large vacuum bulo'
from which the X rays emanated. For an
hour the woman sat there, while the y
rays pierced her foot and photographed
Its bones. When the plate was developed
It showed the bones in light shadow, but
under the ball of the foot there was
dark streak that indicated the presence
of the needle.
The woman went to the Post Graduate
al INgn
tieth street. where DR.. Guitsras, the
house surgeon. guided by the X-ray shad-
owgraph, removed the needle. l. was
taken out in small pieces. which Could
be easily crushed into powder. The needle
was under q tendon, and next TO nerve
which was intensely inllamed. The wound
was cleansed with antiseptics, and closed,
and the woman walked home with more
comfort than she had known In years.
Dr. Morton said II clearly demonstrated
how invaluable the X rays could be made
in locating foreign substances In human
body. and that it demonstrated that
shadowgraphs could be made without
Crookes tubes and Leyden Jars. All he
used was q simple vacuum bulb 4 strlk-
ing feature was that the ray had pierced
the bones. and made them almost trans
lucent. With a longer exposure they
would have become fully 50.
Dr. Morton said that up 10 this time
he had produced al his shadowgraphs OF
bones-shadowgraps In which the X rays
pierced the bones OF the hand the wrist
and the ball Of the foot and showed OBJ
JectS on the side OF the hand or foot
furthes. from the X rays-without the
ala OF CrOokes tube, a Rumpfkorf coil
or converter Of any sort. He uses sim
pie vacuum bulbs, without entering cleo
trodes, or with only one entering cleo
trode. He excltes these bulbs with the
static machine. He further dlspenses
with the Leyden jars. and by these mea-
sures simphiies the Roentgen process.
He believes 1t Is possible on these lines
OF work to excel the results that are
obtained with Crookes tubes. and which
VIII produce pictures without a sugges-
ton Of flesh.

MY Heart Shall be Thy Garden.

By Alice Meynen)
My heart shall be thy garden. Come, my
own,
Into thy garden; thine be happy hours
Among my fairest thoughts, my tallest
flowers,
From root TO erowning petal thine alone.
Thine Is the place from where the seeds
are sown
Up to the sky enclosed. with all its
showers.
But, an, the birds, the BIRDS Who shall
build bowers,
To keep these thine? o. friend, the birds
have flown.
For as these come and go. and quit our
pine
To follow the sweet season, or. new
corners,
Sing one song only from our alder-trees.
My heart has thoughts which, though
thine eyes hold mine.
Fit TO the silent world and other sum-
mers.
With wings that dip beyond the silver
sea.
