Gcycrnm Currency.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through a term of years, and
why it is inelastic, remaining almost
without change from season to season,
is that the security. for it is a deposit of
government bonds. The bank capital is
in the treasury instead of in business.
The profits on circulation decline as the
bonds increase in yaluo or the rate Of
interest declines, and the redemption
process is slow and ineffective. Tho
dangers of the government currency
and the deficiencies of the bank curren-
cy arc now pretty we'll recognized. and
every day shows increased earnestness
in the demands of business men for q
complete and permanent cure.-Iron

Human Body Is Luminous,

One of the most beautiful of the
multitude of experiments to which
scientists have been melted by the
opening out of new developments in
Roentgen ray work is that described
by DR.. Luys before the Societe lie
Biologie in Paris. DIR. Luys has long
been convinced that actual light is
thrown off by human beings, and has
at last proved his theories by showing
the presence of luminous cmanations
which surround the human body. In
a dark room various subjects placed
their fingers for about twenty minutes
on an ordinary Photographic plate
lying in bath containing the usual
solution of hydroquinone, and after
this exposure the negative was de-
veloped in the usual way. Not only
were the fingers and the lines of the
skin reproduced, but also their pores,
and what is still more interesting,
around the fingers was a sort of zone
or halo a third of an inch wide. DR..
Luys regards this as proof that we
live in luminous fluid, which is suf-
ficiently defined to enable O photo
graphic print to be made of itself and
the fingers, as if under the influence
of ordinary light. DR.. Luys has tried
the same experiment on patients whose
hands We're paralyzed, benumbed or
insensible to touch, but in every such
case no image appeared on the plate.
