At a recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety in London a description was
given of the change that occurs in the
p%enetrative power of the X-rays' in
proportion as the air is more and more
completely exhausted from the vacuum
tube in which the rays are produced.
At a certain degree of exhaustion the
rays penetrate the flesh and show the
bones of a human hand in shadow.
With a greater exhaustion of air the
flesh. becomes almost perfectly trans
parent, while the bones remain Opaque.
With a still higher degree of exhaus-
ton the rays begin to penetrate the
bones; and with the highest vacuum
through which the electric discharge
will pass, the bones themselves be-
ccme. almost as transparent as the
flesh. Similar variations in penetrat-
i've power a be produced by increas-
ing or decreasing the power of the
current, or by varying the electrical
resistance OF the tube.

"Well, we're anchored" said Fred.

To Polly it seemed as if they had

For a long time they remained al
most still. Occasionally they joined
their voices in a great shout, but there
was no answer. Fred said the water

to be doing something.
At last they started again, with a
jerk and a shiver, as If some OF the
timbers of the building had given away.
They bumped on for what seemed an
endless time, and then, after scra2ing
along for some minutes, they again
stopped. By this time the rain had
ceased and the moon shone out family
through the clouds.
There's lights cried Polly, joyfully.
Sure enough, IN the hill, not such a
great distance away, they could see
many lights cleaning out owe the

moving about, as If in boats.

they all shouted at the top of their
voices.
But no one heard them. The water
roared too loudly. So they sat for
hours and hours-it seemed to them
until the gray light of morning began
to break in the east. They strained
their eyes as it grew brighter and look
ed off across the gray flood of water
with it's scattering heaps of wreckage
to the town on the hill.

city than that" said Polly.

a little joyful ring in his voice that
made Polly and her grandmother look
around quickly; tits S~pringville."

And Springville it was. They could

the hill, and the red-brick schoolhouse,

some of the buildings that had stood
near the river had disappeared.
But haven't we come only four
miles?" said Grandmother Melton,
looking greatly surprised.
Half an hour later two boats came
alongside and the castaways were car
ried ashore. On the bank Polly found
herself in the arms of her father, cry
ing and laughing all at once. Father

promptly.

OLDEST BANK IN THE WORLD.
Founded at Naples in 1899 and Been II
Existence Ever Since.

Founded at Naples In 1899 and Been In
Existence Ever Since.
1t will probably surprise a good many
people to learn that the Oldest AMI
in existerce is the Bank OF Naples,
which has lately been passing through
such trouhlous times. The British con-
sui at Naples in his report for last
year furnishes some details OF the
foundation of the bank In the six
tenth century and points II that the
earlier banks, the Monte Vecchlo OF
Ven:c, and the Banco San Giorgio at
Genoa, established in the twelfth CEN
tlry, and the Bank Of Barcelona, es-
tablished in the fourteenth century,
have all ceased to exist. The report
fixes the foundation of the Bank OF
Naples at 1889 and the institution is,
therefore far older than the Bank OF
England, which was established IN
1894. 1t is in the unique position OF
having a considerable capital to which
no one lays any claim. For the eXpla-
nation of this curious state of affairs
one has to go back to the time when
the Neapolitans, in order to receive
Charles V. with great pomp and mag
nifcence, obtained vast loans from the
Jews against valuable pledges. The
difficulties of repayment were solved
in right royal fashion by the king ban
ishing the Jews, but the jews con-
trived before leaving to dispose OF
their securities to two Neapolitans on
very easy terms. The buyers offered
the pledges to their original owners at
a reasonable profit on the transaction
and also offered further loans without
interest on the old security. Philan-
thropic gifts were then made to the In
stitution on condition that it advance
leans without interest, and in this way
the bank started practically as charita-
BILE pawnbroker. Gradually, however
it developed into a bank doing ordinary
commercial business, and up to nearly
the end of the seventeenth century
%prospered greatly.

He couldn't see far, but he could
hear the roaring of the water from
every direction. His heart sunk; he felt
sure that they all would be drowned.
Suddenly something thumped heavily
against the side of the building, n
the next instant the front end Oh inc
room went up and grandmother n
Polly slipped down toward the rear
end. Fred narrowly escaped beiag
hurled off the roof.
We're going! We're goingG
screamed Polly.
We're just off the foundation,
answered Fred, as bravely as he couia.
Then he swung back down into the
bedroom and helped Grandmother
Melton and Polly UP through the trap
door to the roof. He covered them up
as we'll as he could and told them to
cling to the ridgepole whatever might
happen. Then he ran down for a coll
of clothesline. This he tied firmly TO
the window at one end of the bedroom,
carried the other end up through the
trap-door, along the roof and dropped
1t over the caves. Down he went
again and fastened it to the other win

Hardly had he finished his work Wnen
the building gave another great lurch.
Hold on" shouted Fred.
The words were hardly out OF his
mouth when he found himself thrown
violently from his feet. He caught a
glimpse of the water pouring up the
stairway and then the lamp was cap
sized and went out. Next he found
himself pounding about in the water.
Fred! Fred!' came the agonized
voice of Polly.
Here l am" spluttered Fred. In
falling he had caught the edge OF the
trap-door and Polly helped him to the
roof.

COMING KING AFTER LEARNING

Prince Eul Wha, Heir to the Throne of
Corca. Is In America.
PriTca Eui Wha, who will probably
succeed to the throne of Corea on the
death Of his father, the ~reigning king,
arrived at San Francisco the other day.
The young man, who is only 20 years
of age, has come to America to finish
his education, and Is accompanied by
two Coreans of noble birth-Pak
Yonk Kiu and Sin Sang Koo. The
first named, who was charge d'affaircs
of the Corean legation at Washington
for three years, has been commission
ed by the King Of Corea to escort the
prize to America and see him COM
fortably established in some eastern
institution of learning, where he can
take a three years curse in English
branches. Prince Eui Wha is not the
heir apparent to the Corean throne.
He is the second son of the king, but is
expected to succeed, since it is gener-
ally understood that the crown prince
is an imbecile.

The United Postal congress, which
recently finished its work at Wash
ington accomplished something in the
way of simplifying the postal transac-
tions of the world: Following is al
o{icial resume of the results of the
work of the congress: The principal
treaty which excludes the entry Of
Corea into the postal union; the dec
laration OF the Orange Free state,
which failed to send a delegate to
Washington, that it hoped o to en-
ter the union: and the declaration OF
the Chinese empire, which was repre-
scented in the congress, that 1t will OBJ
serve the regulations of the union as
soon as the organization of its service
permits. The intermediary transit
rates have been facilitated. and the
tariff diminished materially on a grad
uated scale for the ensuing six years.
Uniform colors have been projected
for postage stamps. Postal cards I'M
paid are subject to a double tax; that
is. 4 cents in place of the former tax,
which was 10 cents, the same as for un-
pdIu lcttcIo. SlTCuldTS pIOuuCcu Oh d

mems, are admitted as samples. The
question OF the creation of a universal
postage stamp was brought up, and
the proposition was defeated on &C.
