NEEDLE WAS FOUND.
And the New Photography Saved the
Seantress' Life.
(Henry W. Fischer's Berlin Letter tt
New York Journal.)

(Henry W. Fischer's Berlin Letter to
New York Journal)
The Central Roentgen Photograph AS
ISOLATION, which, as I cabled you last
week, was in course Of organization for
the purpose of promoting experim ents
with the cathode ray, has already estab-
lishsd a large laboratory in Berlin.
Today February 10) the first Berliner
to benefit by the wonderful discovery of
Or. Roentgen was a poor young seam
stress, who had swallowed needle last
week.
Every day of her existence since seemed
an age of agony. Her physician de-
SPARED Of her case, as the poor woman
could not retain the lightest food on her
stomach. Since Saturday morning she
grew steadily worse. Frequent spells of
vomiting increased her uncomfortable tor
lures.
1t was noticed that the patient expecto-
rated blood mornings which caused the
doctor to surmise that the needle was en-.
bedded somewhere in the lining, of the
stomach, causing flow of blood at every
sudden movement.
The physician called an eminent sur
geon of the university staff in consulta-
tion, who did not believe that her life
could be saved, as the incessant expector-
atoms of blood gave evidence of consider
able liberation having ensued 1t WIS
determined as dernier resort to BRING
the patient to the Roentgen laboratory in
the hope that the ray would locate the
needle, and that the same might be ex-
tracted without endangering the young
woman's life.
To the great joy of all interested the
experiment. at the laboratory this after
noon proyedsa brilliant success.
A camera holder containing a sensi-
tized plate was placed against a heavy
block of wood at one side of the barred
breasts of the patient, who, in order to
secure steady position was bound to the
back Of a heavy oaken chair. When all
was in readiness the electric light was
turned on and after five minutes the
current was cut off. the bandage loosened
and the plate taken to the dark room for
development.
All felt highly gratifed at the results,
as the plate plainly showed every bone
of the upper part of the body, and the
needle was found lying point downward
in the lower right angle of the stomach
Its position accounted for the patient s
loss OF blood, as it would puncture the
flesh whenever she would get up from
the chair or bed.
Surgeons being present 1t was resolved
to remove the needle at once The pa
ohloroform and the cause of her excru-
Chatting sufferings, which threatened her
life. was taken from the stomach by
skill full surgical manipulations.
L hepatient is doing we'll tonight and
is pronounced entirely out of danger.

THE MONROE DocToRIN.

Some women take to authorin-I s,pose they
Though don't reel off skeins of prose or spin
ont yards o. verse.
My mind amt fixed ON liter ture, but Ezra
reads the news,
An while he is discussin things, Jest set by
an muse.
Idees don't seem to strike man quite as tLey
do his wisei
An what hits me the forciblist is ups an dos-els
Of life.
The changes of this world air proved in an
amazin way
By somsthin Ezra read out loud an talked
about today.
Idadn't ask no questions, but a cartoon show
ed to me
That some old English lady, who owns land
aerost the sea,
Camped out in Venzuely, took chill, begun
to pine,
An forren kentries stood around a-watchin
her decline.
Nobody tried to stop the spell from havin its
full run
Until her cousin Jonathan walked up to what
was done;
An seein dang 'rous symptoms a-carousin in her
face,
He set Monroe a-doctorin the melancholy case
The cure was most miraklous; he toned her ur
10 quick
Folks found it hard to realize that she had
been siclrl
Her temper 'ture grew material, her pulse beat
full an slow,
While all the people swung their hats an shout
ed for Monroel
That sfetched me to rememberin the days when
was small,
In good old Pennsylvany where the hemlock
trees air tall;
knew a sauar' log cabin clost by Susque-
hanna's shore.
With young Monroes a-swarmin round the
narrer batten door.
I1nind the hnn big bilin. from Lysander down
to .Hm.
Sandy was awful shifless. an no one took
stnuk In him.
But jim. he tackled medicine. though folks
made tots Of sport;
Bare feet an ragged roundabout was made to
hold tho PortI
He worked his way to college an turned out
with his degree,
An then he tried to go to church an singin
Bat Rzra was forehanded, the Monroes was
alters poor;
/ took my choice between the two, an Jim
come back no more.
There amt much use in ms murin, but see
the ways of fate.
There's Jim Monroe, whose doctorin must
hev made him rich great.
The way his patient convalesced hez raised SO
big breeze
The huh Of Venzuely smiles an fops down en-
it's knees.
It's like the drug mans balance scales-one
rises, t'other falls
Fer Ezra reads the papers in blus denim over
allsl
A common. kentry farmin man is all luck
made of him.
III bes he DOM suspect Monroe is Pernsyl-
vany Jiml
But. thanks to forchune, I've got brains to fig
ger out sech facts.
Though can't grasp the tariff or see through
the income taxi
I'm ruthsr proud to recognize Teller once
my beau,
An Ezra bein Jealous, don't care to let him
knowI

The Sloth.

I sing that charming thing
The sloth-the wisest beast
That moves by leg or wing,
Because he moves the least
He dees not rise to see
The sun the day begin.
1t can be done. thinks he,
Without advice from him.
He knows tbs deeds men do
That cause all suffering.
Humanitarian true,
He never does thing.
He simply eats and drinks
And cherishes ideals,
And indolentiy thinks
OF things he never feels.
He knows his theories
In practice would not fit,
And SD he never tries
To put them into it.
e
You may choose power or fame
l grant you, gladly, both
But when I'm born again,
want to be a sloth. Life.

NEW GOLD FIELDS APPEAR
Yuma, Arizona, Would Like to Become a
Cripple Creek, Too.

]
Cripple Creek, Too.
Yuma, Ariz., March 2-The Picacho
gold mines, situated on the Colorado
river in San Diego country, Cal, are
now the center Of much interest. with
the leading mining men on the Pacific
coast.
Thirty-four years ago three prospec-
tors camped for dinner on the bank of
the Colorado where the little town of
Picacho now stands After the meal
was over they started up the Picacho
canon, having decided TO make a dry
camp, and on the morrow press on to
Yuma for supplies, their larder having
become well night empty. Night found
them at rest on a, little mesa plateau
in the Picacho basin. Morning came,
their coffee and frugal meal over, the
burros We're brought in and prepara-
tions made to start on their way TO old
Fort Yuma, where they expected to re-
plenish their supply Of corn, beans, ba-
con, coffee and sugar.
While two of them were packing the
burros, the other took his bateau and
said, before I leave this place / am 60
ing to try this dirt, for it looks TO me
as if it contained gold" He scraped
up a painful just at the point where he
was standing and, washing Il out dry,
no water being ne arer than the river,
he had $3.50 in his pan. He said 10 his
companions: Go on to Yuma and get
your provisions. This is good enough
for me-" They went. He remained
At each pan he took out from s25 10
$3.50 in great nuggets of gold and in fin
er gold dust.
Three days after his companions re-
turned. Soon the little band began 70
increase, and in six months there was
more than 500 men in the new camp,
making from $50 to $3.50 per day. \
year passed by and the camp numbered
5000 people. miners, butchers, traders,
gamblers and transient corners and
goers. During the first two years the
miners averaged over three ounces.

ing the next two years this fell, first

stood for two years. when 1t fell to sls
then to SIS, and finally, in the eighth
year. down TO SO per day per man.
when the great mass left, unwilling to
work for SO per day.
During the f1ood-tide of these Plcacho
mines, beef, flour. sugar. lard. bacon,
hams and beans were all 50 cents per
pound; coffee. 81; tea, $3.50: whisky 80
cents q drink and everything else in

remained for years until the diggings
fell off 10 s. per day. when 1he number
Of miners fell to from 100 70 go. From
