The renovated pumproom at Bath,
Eng, is IS centuries old, for it is
founded in the famous baths which the
Romans built in 60 A. D., ifnot earlier.
The Saxons destroyed the grand struc-
ture in 577, and for centuries the ruins
were used as quarry, from which some
of the stone for the cathedral was OBJ
tanned The Roman baths were redis-
covered in 1851, but little was done
with them until 1877, when the corpor-
alton acquired them. Since that time
the corporation has been engaged in
restoring them to something of their
original grandeur.

tered the law school of Columbia uni
versity, with the intention of qualify
ing herself for admittance to the bar.
She does not mean to prac tice law, of

tect her property interests without the
aid of attorneys, who are expensive
and not always scrupulously fai thful.
Miss Gould's example is good one for
women who have wealth in their own

been perfecting battery for electrical
discharges. 1t is now the most power
full apparatus of its kind in the world.
1t is the only battery strong enough to
send a discharge through an X-ray
tube; all other batteries send the spark
around the tube. 1t has been used re-
peatedly to show the skeleton of the

from the fact that it has a voltage Of
1,2OO,O 900 and the voltage required to
run an electric car is only 500. This
