THE X-RAYS APPLIED.
Mrs. Watson Carried to Wake Forest
to Ascertain the Bullets Position.

Every possible medical attention and
the most careful nursing have been be-
slowed upon Mrs. Albert Watson, while
she lay patient sufferer on cot in
Rex Hospital, since the fatal Monday
morning on which was enacted one or
the sadest double tragedies in the his
tory of this city. Carefully and tenderiy
the nurses watched over this young
wife and saw, with delight, that she
had now passed beyond the fear OF
death resulting from the wound.
Still there remained the awful fact that
from her waist down she was paralyzed,
and, if this fair girl of eighteen sum-
mers is doomed to spend the remainder
of her life in this helpless state. it is
a debatable question il death would not
be preferable.
But her physician has not given up.
If the bullet can be discovered there Is
still a chance for her. This can in all
probability be done by means of the
Mays. Yesterday Mrs. Watson was
carried on the morning S. A. l.. mail
TO Wake Forest for this purpose and
brought back at $40 in the, afternoon.
Mrs. Watson's mother, her physician.
DR.. Goodwin; Mr.. James l. johnson.
and a nurse accompanied her.
Prof. Lanneau, Of Wake Forest, had,
Of course. been previously notified. and
had everything in readiness; indeed he
came to Raleigh and accompanied Mrs.
Watson to Wake Forest. Photo
graphs were taken through the back
and side. The result cannot be known
until the plates are developed.
Great interest has been manifest IN
this sad case by the good people of Raj
eigh, and they earnestly hope that she
may be completely restored to health.
Indeed. Mrs. Watson seems perfectly
well new, but she has no use of her
limbs. Her eyes are bright and her
complexion is as fair and clear as
woman's can be.

holders in this State are interested. The
hearing occurs to-day at Newborn. before
ex-Judge William II. Allen. referee. 1t
is said il this insurance company shall
succeed in establishing the defenses set
up in these cases, it will materially ar
feet and impair the value of every
policy held in this company not only i'm
this State. hut everywhere. 1t is said
thes cases will probably go to the SUI
preme Court of the United States. as a
Federal question of violation of contract
obligation is involved.

A well informed gentleman said yester-
day:
You were mis;nformed as to the facts
with reference TO the two convicts who
escaped from the penitentiary Sunday
night. Your paper sad that they Were
at work in the boiler room. The facts
are that they were not in the boiler
room. There was no steam on the
building at all. They were sleeping in
the hall and they had nothing to do but
to go up one fight Of steps through the
dormitories OF the guards and overseers,
and then to go down the flight Of steps
at the far end and they were out in the
yard. They got the clothes as they went
on through"
And so the convicts are allowed to
sleep in the halls: the guards go to
sleep: and the convicts walk away wear
ing the clothes Of the guard.
All this since the publication Of re-
form by the executive committee!

HOW THE GREEKS SLEEP.
FastidiOus People Find No COnven-
fences Mt the Hotels.

In Greece the hotels of the interior
follow one general type-the Italian.
There is no common sitting-room, says
the Atlantic Monthly. Why should
there be? There is no office, but that
does not seem to interfere with the
presentation Of bills. The ground floor
is given up TO a cafe or restaurant, if
the innkeepr goes into that kind of
business Very often, however, the
master of the Apollo has only rooms to
let. The sleeping apartments on the
floor above are often approached by
an outside stairway, and, as is to be
expected in a southern cline, they are
scantily furnished Overfurnishing is
vice anywhere. Under n southern
Sky it is crime OF which the Greeks
are not guilty.
There is usually mirror, though
that tribute to human vanity is some
times lacking, and, like the Turk. the
solitary Turkish towel bears no brother
near his throne. The bcdstead is in
yarinbly Of iron. As in primitive United
States within my memory. single rooms
are rare. Two, three, four. five beds
are put in one room or strung along
the corridors. \ fastidious person who
desires to occupyarooma alone has to pay
for all the beds therein. In some places
special charges are made for sleeping in
/, the daytime, and there is fixed rate
for sleeping on the floor.

HEAT PHOTOGRAPHS.
Substances Sensitive to Weak RadiR-
tiOn from a Heated Body.


tiOn from a Heated Body.
The invisible radiations from a heated
body possess the power of effecting GER
tain chemical decompositions much aft
cr the manner of lights, as, for in
stance, in photography, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Among the
substances sensitive to weak radia-
items of heat may be mentioned paper
saturated with cupric bromide, or n
mixture of sulphate of copper and
potassium bromide, which has faint
greenish tint that becomes olive brown
in radiant heat, and if green is used n
brown image can be obtained in a min
ute by exposing TO the radiations from
q gas stove and on treatment with sill
vor nitrate this image becomes black by
reason of the reduction of the silver.
Bichromated paper is affected by radi-
ant heat, as by light, and paper impreg-
mated simply with sulphate OF copper
yields a feeble image, which becomes
nearly black when treated with silver
nitrate. a mixture of sulphate of cop
per and oXalic acid gives paper which
becomes brown on exposure. Chlorate
of copper is also very sensitive, the faint
blue color becoming a deep green.
Similarly used bromide of tin behaves
as if exposed to light, but uncXposed
parts become very black when treated
with silver nitrate. Nitrate of silver
which is markedly acted upon by light,
is slightly Drowned when exposed to
heat radiation, and the tint is decpened
by hydroquinone or gallic acid

THE FROZEN BREEZE.
4 Strange Phenomenon Observed b,

Did you ever see a frozen breeze?
You might have seen one if you had

This was the way it came to be
frozen: All night long the air had been
laden with mist. Over the fields, in the
hollovs, all through the woods, even
on top of the hills, the fog hung heav-
lily. All that time the wind blew stead
lily, but not fiercely, from some north
ern quarter.
At nightfall the mercury fell below
the freezing point, so that this mist,
as it drifted through the trees, was
frozen upon their branches and twigs.
