Another Triumph for the x-Rav.,

~ I'VE JIG Arrays @Ws
The scientific journals and the com
munlty at large are interested in an
other wonderful surgical operation
made possibly by the X-rays. A child
born with a deformed arm has been
examined under the new light, and it
is shown to be clearly possible to re-
move the bones of a superluous arm
and hands, an operation that would
not have been possible without the
skiagraph to show precisely the con
nection and location of the bones.
With the aid of these rays the surgeon
may ascertain beyond the shadow of a
question the formation and, to an ex-
tent, the condition, of the bones of any
living creature. To do this is triumph
over n class of diseases that has for
many years baf1ed the ablest practi-
TONERS. Operating on the bones is and
always has been a most delicate and
risky undertaking, but now there is
no doubt as to the accuracy Of the dag
nosis when the rays are turned upon
the affected part. A photograph is alb
solutely truthful, and science has n
abled the surgeon to triumph over
pain and lead suffering captive. "

ton to the test Of a Connecticut farmer
Of the value OF irrigation on sandy soil.
BY the aid of rams water is elevated
from a valley brook to a reservoir at
the top Of the hill. From here it is dis
tributed to leading points on the farm
in two and one-half inch pipes, and
from these old discarded fire hose is
used to distribute the water. over the
fields. Wooden troughs in twelve-foot
sections feed into each other, and are
easily moved about the fields. These
are set at. proper grades wherever want
ed, and the water turned into them
through the hose. By, a series of little
gates along the trough water is allowed
20 run down to rows of melons, straw
berries or asparagus, the flow being
regulated so as to u freely, but with
out washing. This year, wishing to
carry over some old strawberry beds
for fruiting another season, Mr.. Eddy
cleared the rows, narrowed them to
eight or ten inches, and turned on the
water. The beds took on a new,
strong growth, and are as nearly per-
feet as can be. Then, to extend the
plantations, runner from new beds,
as new plants developed, we're taken
up with little or no root and thickly
lined out in rows a foot apart. the
water put trickling down the rows so
as to keep them moist all the time, and
the little runners went at once to work
making strong, new plants with album
dance of fbrous roots. Celery, cabbage
and other crops are treated in like
manner. &
