An X-Ray Photograph DlsrIoses the Ip-
 Jury Sustained By Harry Esrrior. or Fo.t
 smith win Prob ,bly Recover.
 For the first time in the history of the new photography. the X-ray has been used to obtain a photograph of fractured neck, and the successful re- suit will interest science the world over, says the Fort Smith News-Record. Dr. Redwood, who has charge of farrior, whois suffering with fracture of the neck, D. M. Marks and F. M Mas ters, the electrician, conducted the experiment of photographing through the neck of the patient. Two exposures were made; one of twenty and the other of thirty minutes, the latter be- Ing the clearest and most satisfactory. Owing the fact that the light is re- quired to go through the entire density of the neck,n said Dr. Redwood in talking about it, and also to the fact that the breathing of the patient makes constant motion, it is the most diffi- cult part of the body to photograph" Not only that" said Dr. Marks. "but we were obliged to expose the plate at distance of about two inches from the neck. so all in all there were a good many obstacles to be overcome. I con sider the result the finest X-ray photo graph l have ever seen" The picture IS interesting. It shows the skull and vertebra of the neck. The fracture and the complications ensuing are clearly seen. The fourth servical vertebra, to use Dr. Rockwood's tech nical term, is indented, or, in other words, the fifth vertebra projects so that the spinous processes of the fourth and fifth vertebra are forced together. This shows that the spinal cord was pinched by the fracture and dislocation, and explains the peculiar condition of the young man. "Mr. Farrior, to all intent and purposes" said Dr. Rock wood In discussing the case, lis dead from the location of the fracture down. He has absolutely no sensation or motor power in his body, and as far as moving or feeling might just as we'll be dead. Our theory is that severing of the nerves controlling the action of sensation and motion was produced by the pinching of the spinal cord in the fracture. If we can only sustain a healthy condition of the body until nature can repair the injury there will be no doubt of the young mans recovery" The case is a most interest ing one. By a singular coincidence, a man in New York was injured in ex- aotly the same manner on the same day, the 18th of August, though with out the complications in Farrior's case. During the taking of the photographs the patients head remained in the suspension brace prepared by Dr. Redwood, and it is interesting to know that the negative shows that the light went through folded thickness of over eight inches of cloth, as well as through the neck

PLACER, ALES UND WINES"
Meaning of "L. A. w. Hotel- as Ex-
 pIained by a German.

Among the many advantages set forth by the l.. A. w. to riders to join the organiza- ton are the special accommodations extended to members at the official hotels in cities and towns. It is the custom in suburban places for proprietors of official hotels to display sign like this: 'L. A. w. Hotel" in some conspicuous place. Naturally riders patron ize the official quarters, and as a conse- quence the keepers of road houses and of hotels in the country are now hanging out 'L. A. w. Hotel" signs. The practice has been called to the attention of the league, and its officers are trying to compel the non ofhcial houses to remove the signboards Complaint was made to the New Jersey di- vision of the league that a hotelkeeper on the outskirts of Jersey City not entitled to display the official sign of the l.. A. w. was an offender. A visit to the place developed the fact that the owner was not disposed to accede to the demands of the leagues rep resentative. The latter, finding that mild persuasion was futile, became indignant and threatened legal proceedings. The propri- etor, German, also waxed warm, and in response to the remark that he was using the official sign of the league without author ity, retorted:
 "Vot know aloud veelmen's leegs? Dot don't shtand for holdings like dot. Dot sign shtands for lager, ales und wines hotel, alretty yet; Dot my leeg, togedder"
 The explanation amused the officials so much that no legal move was taken.-N. Y. Sun.

ENGLISH AS SHE IS SPOKEN.
One Way to Spell Tomatoes, Five to
 Pronounce It.

One word in it's time has many pronuncia. tons. For instance: Mrs. Housekeep the other day was doing her mornings msrket ing. With her had come the stranger who was spending week or two within her gates. Standing by while she snapped the beans between her fingers to see that they were tender, parted the husks to make sure that the corn was ripe, pulled the pears out ot thelr paper wrappings and conducted her self generally after the manner of a careful housewife, was the clerk, order book in hand, and obsequiousness on his brow. The visitor began it with:
 :, These tomaytoes look nice Get some there's a dear!"
 To which Mrs. Housekeep replied: "Whv. certainly, if you like theml" Then to the clerk: How much are tomahtoes this morning."
 m not sure; I'll ask. Jim," calling to a fellow clerk, 'how much is them termait. I'll ask the boss. Say," passing the word further back, watcher gettin for tomat, toes today"
 ''T'mats? O, two baskets for a quarter. I guess.' ,, Therefore, to please her guest who loved
 tomaytoes, Mrs. Housekeep invested in some "tomahtoes" and Jim, who was inves. tigatlng the price of tomatoes" for the benefit of a fellow clerk who wanted to know how to sell "termaiters," was en. frightened as to what he should charge for
 mats. And the bystander was left mar. veling at the infinite variety of English as she Is spoke. Chicago Chronicle.

A Ruined Reputation.

"And you say" said the Sympathetic Per son, looking down from the elevation of the doorstep, upon the latest applicant for sub- urban charity, "that you have honestly done your best to find employment?"
 "I have, madam"
 You have regular vocation?"
 II was formerly an expressman."
 ''In what city?"
 "In Boston,"
 But, surely, at this season of the year you ought to find work enough as an ex. pressman in large city like Boston,"
 Madam, you do not know Boston. You have heard of the Bacchante? Yes? Then 1t IS only necessary to tell you that l am one of the expressmen who carried her to the station"
 But I do not see"
 The fact became generally known, madam. From that moment 1 have ceased to be respectable. There Is no one in Bos- ton, who will now employ me. "-Boston Budget.

 All fungi, says Prof. Jelliffe, are bo- tanical beasts of prey.
