Varying Power OF X.Ravs.

At recent meeting of the Royal So
cIety in London a description was
given of the change that occurs in the
penetrative 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 certain degree of exhaustion the
rays penetrate the flesh and show the
bones of human hand in shadow.
With 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-
come almost as transparent as the
flesh. Similar variations in penetrat-
i've power can be produced by increas-
ing or decreasing the power of the
current, or by varying the electrica'
resistance OF the tube.

ran with them to the bedroom where

ran with them to the bedroom where
Grandmother Melton was sitting.
BY this time the building had begun
to shake and culver as the water beat
against it.
"she's going soon," shouted Fred.
I'm afraid the water will reach us
up here" suggested Grandmother Mel
ton.
Fred looked up. The ceiling was low
and just above him there had been en-
old trap-door, now nailed up. In
stantly Fred seized the ak and burst
it open. Above they could see the dark
sky and the rain coming down in steady
torrents. Fred piled a trunk on top OF
the table and climbed out on the TOOL.
He couldn't see far, but ho could
hear the roaring of the water from
every direction. His heart sunk; ne felt
sure that they all would be drowned.
Suddenly something thumped heavily
against the side of the building, and
the next instant the front end OF the
room went up and grandmother and
Polly slipped down toward the rear
end. Fred narrowly escaped beiag
hurled off the roof.
Were going! We're going!
screamed Polly.
We're just off the foundation"
answered Fred, as bravely as he could.
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 coil
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
dow frame. It would do to hold to.
Hardly had he finished his work when
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
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.
Fired! Fred!' came the agonized
voice Of Polly.
Here I am" spluttered Fred. In
railing he had caught the edge of the
trap door and Polly helped him to the
roof
I'VE had all we could do to hold on"
gasped Grandmother Melton.
Were moving" shouted Polly.
They rocked and scraped and bump
ed along, with the water swirling and
crashing around them
Its our first VOYAGE said Fred, with
an effort to laugh; "p'raps We'll wind
up in the Gulf of Mexico"
But Polly didn't laugh; neither did
Grandmother Melton.
A few minutes later they heard some

one shouting far out on the stream ana
they saw the glimmer of a lantern.
They shouted in return, but there was
no answer, and presently the lantern
was swallowed up in the darkness and
the three castaways were even more
lonesome and terrified than before.
They were compelled to cling firmly
to the rope and the ridgepole all the
time, for the house was continually
humping against distractions in the
stream and careening and jolting like
a boat in rough sea. Besides this,
they were wet to the skin and shiver-
ing with cold and fright. Occasionally
huge forms would loom up near them,
or buildings floating down the river
They were momentarily afraid lest
their boat should bump into something
and be broken up. If this happened
they knew they would have small hope
of escape.
Quite suddenly they felt the building
grind on something, and then, with a
jolt, it came to standstill. Thay
could hear the timbers strain and creak
and the current of the stream splashing
about it, but it did not move.
"Well, we're anchored" said Fred.
Il suppose we're out somewhere on a
sandbar in the Mississippi"
do you think we have reached
Memphis?' asked Polly, anxiously.
To Polly it seemed as if they had
been drifting for hours.
For long time they remained al
most still. Occasionally they Joined
| their voices in great shout but there
was no answer. Fred said the water
,roared so loud that no one could hear
it, anyway, but it eased their spirits
to be doing something. ~.
At last they started again, with a
jerk and 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 scraping
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, ioyfully.
Sure enough, on the hill, not such a
great distance away, they could see
many lights cleaning out over the
water. Nearer, there were other lights
moving about, as If in boats.

they all shouted at the top Of thet,

A Birds Sea Eesort-

Naturalists consider it a wonderful
fact that the Bermuda Islands have
only seven native species of land
birds, while no less than a hundred
and twenty-eight other species pay
visits to the islands. Many of these
visitors are birds which pass the sum-
mer in the United States, and utilize
the Bermuda Islands as a convenient
winter resort, thus initiating some of
their human compatriots. Even some
American bats follow the example of
the birds by wintering in the Bermu-
das.

"Springville!'
And Springville it was. They could
see the little weatherbeaten church on
the hill, and the red-brick schoolhouse
and Judge Carson's home, and great
many other familiar places, although
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
rled ashore. On the bank Polly found
herself in the arms of her father, cry
ing and laughing all at once. Father
Melton looked old and worn and wor-
rled. He had given up his family for
lost, and he was bravely helping the
other people in the work Of rescue.
