Is conceale in the human body. L. seems
odd that this peculiarly has not been dis
covered before in the tremendous devel-
opments of the X-ray phi biography. but it
ls so. The first person to make this i'm

a glance-lS Boston physician, Dr. Ed
warI A. Tracy of South Boston. Dr..
Tracy demonstrates the fallacies of the Y.
ray pictures in 4 manner which adj mits of
no doubt. and that is by X-ray pictures
themselves. He says:
The lndlscrlminate admission of the
A-ray photographs would be wrong. Their
use evidence OF injury is only safe when
certain conditions have been fulfil led in
taxing and presentation. The reason TOR
the distortion in the X-ray pictures is
that the rays emanaIed from a point, and
are therefore not araiIe. To read cor.
rectly the lesson OF X-ray pictures the
obliQueness of X ravs must be kept in
mind and mental correction made for the
disproportion and distortion caused by
the obllqu ness. X rays properly used
are as searchllght in the exposition of
bone LESSONS. But the LESSONS must be
pictured from different directions and the
resultant ictures compared with pictures
of the normal opposite member. More
over, The pictures OF the Injured member
and the opposite normal mem Der must be
taken with the same relative position of
the Crookes tube and the limb and the

SANTA CLAAA'> rAUNE CROP.
Fifty Milton Pound, Produced During
the Yeur.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 4.-Professor c. w.
Childs, one of the prominent horticul-
turists of the county and an active mem
Der of the Grange, has in t com pleted the
work of gathering statistics on this years
crop of prunes in Santa Clara County. In
round numbers he saws the county has
produced this year $4,000, 900 pounds, and
that Is but half crop, as against g., 900, 900
pounds last year. He says these prunes
are selling for p cent more on the pound
than any other prunes III the market.
The total annual consumption OF prur es
in the United States at present is 20 0OO,-
600 pounds. With the rapid expansion of
orchards In the county, he says. it will be
but short time until the annual output
of prunes from the orchards here will
reach 100000 900. Even with no addi-
tional orchards, those now out, but not
vet in bearing, will at maturity produce
100 COZ, 600 annually. At the present rate
OF consum ption in the United States this
will leave surplus of 30000,00O pounds
annually. He believe the American con-
sumption can be greatly increased by
distributing the prunes properly in the
East.

ROLOFF SAFE IN CUBA.
Reasons for FORGETTING His
Bond Told for the First
Time.

New York, March Io.-The
World says;
General Carlos Roloff sec
rotary of war of the provincial
government of Cuba, is in
Cuba safe. His reasons for
FORGETTING his bail and evading
the trial for neutrality law vio-
lation here and in Baltimore is
now told for the first time.
General Rolef arrived in New
York City from the Cuban bat
tleground in the summer OF
last year. He was logged by
Pinkerton and Spanish detec
tives. He was twice put in
prison, being at once released
on the deposit of cash bail,
and it was plain that the Span
ish government did not intend
he should go again to Cuba.
He was one of the most dan
gerous men with whom Gen.
WeyIer had to contend.
The intentions of the Span
ish government toward Gen.
Rolof were learned in a pecu
liar way. A Spaniard. while
in a talkative mood, told his
dentist, a Spaniard, supposed
to be loyal, but who sympa
with Cuba, that RoloffI
would not go back to Cuba.
ut they let him go on bail
when he answers the indict
said the Spanish off
cial, I'VE will at once arrest
MIN on a charge OF murder.
We will accuse him of killing
two Spaniards during the ten
years war, and we will pin
him down here under bonds
that the junta can not forfeit. "
The dentist at once notified
the junta, and it was decided
to send Rolof to Cuba at the
head OF an expedition then be
ing fitted out.

effect that Congressman Kls

a competitive examination TO

Annapolis, out will give the ap-
pointmeBt to Conrad Wester

won the appointment by pass
ing an examination in eompeti
zion with other applicants.
While THE HERALD has DO
sonht that the young man who,
Il is said, will be appointed to
Annapolis is in every way
worthy it cannot understand
why Mr.. Kleberg should show
such favoritism, instead of al
lowing every boy in the district

poIntmeut. Giving the honor TO

TIE COTTON OUTLOOK.
Prospects Behind Those of Last
Year, But a Large Crop
Will be Raised.
Written for THE HERALD.

New York. Friday Morning
Mar. 10. 1Ss7.-WhiIe the
European markets appear to be
receiving tone and confidence
as the Cretan question ap-
proaches a peaceful solution
/ of orr home markets respond
slowly to the favorable foreign
adVices and the improvement
in trade in this country. Our
own spinners have taken more
cotton 80 far this season than
last and will continue to pur
chase on a larger scale as they
gradually feel the influence of
this improvement. It should be
remembered that, from this
time on last season, they cur
tailed their consumption until
they practically closed before
The end Of this season. 1t is the
absence OF any specu'a i've
spirit which prevents a sharp
response to the conditions
which are changing in favor OF
cotton upon both this and the
next crop. This indisposition
to anticipate an improvement
in price is based upon the dis
couragement which the market
has received through exaggerat-
ed crop estimates, famine, pes
thence and war until a "Bull"
has become an object of curios
ity and possibly of pity and
yet cotton has practically main
tanned itself on a basis of about
z cents fes- March since the
middle of December, with the
exception Of one decline when
holders became temporarily
discouraged. That the market
should so we'll sustain itself
without speculation for any
advance is an evidence of the
strength of the situation but
does not change the pessimistic
Zone Of the trade which seems
10 regard the possibility of an
advance as utterly unworthy of
consideration and acts accord
ingly.
Our weather bureau predicts
high water and an overflow of
the Mississippi River from the
water at pretent coming from
the Eastern Rivers, but the
trade believes that sneh an
overflow is entirely too early
TO BE- OF serious injury though
admitting that it will delay
planting operations throughout
a large portion of the Valley.
The river is higher than any
record of the Signal Service,
and destructive overiows In
Arkansas and Northern Louis
lana are forecasted as a result.
Throughout the Northwest there
is very large amount Of snow
yet to pass out through this
same channel. In Texas local
showers have relieved the situa
ton bat not compensated for
the lack OF the heavy winter
rains which have so often prov
ed the basis Of a large yield |
In short, we seq no reason to
change our opinion. The crop |
prospects are behind those of
