x-Rays on BattIefieIds.

An interesting demonstration of the
Roentgen ray in field practice was re-
Gently given by the Royal Warwick
regiment in maneuvers at Ward End,
a suburb of Birmingham, England,
which is thus described by the London
Graphic: Just before reaching the
scene Of action, the machine gun, with
it's complement Of men, was detached
to execute a flank movement, while
on the ground itself a small firing par
ty was told to oppose the gunners from
such shelter as the hedgerows afforded.
While these miniature forces were blaz-
ing away at each other a tent was
pitched and a kind Of field hospital was
formed. The latter busted itself In
manufacturing imaginary patients
among the combatants. Bullet and
bayonet wounds were assumed, and
dressing applied accordingly, but the
chief interest lay with the supposed
bullet wounds. The arrangements
complete, the "invalids'' were placed in
the ambulance wagon and driven to
the hospital tent, where the expert
ment to which SO much interest at
tached was carried through. In the
case Of the bullet wounds, spent bullets
had been slipped within the bandages,
and DIR. Hall-Edwards essayed the task
of finding them with the aid Of the
Roentgen rays. He had provided him
self for the purpose with a portable
coil, Crookes tube, Photographic mater,
ials and a specially arranged dark room
"a collapsible cloth arrangement which
admitted of the introduction of the
head n hands. Before carrying u
the actual experiments the Roentgen
ray apparatus vas paraded by a Sec
ton of eight men in order to demon
strate it's portability. The coil was
carried by fou men upon a s%tretcher:
following this came two men, each ar
rying an accumulator; two men took
charge Of the collapsible developing
tent and stand, and lastly came a small
box, also carried by two men, which
was capable of holding sufficient pho

Of daylight by black paper envelopes
being placed under the injured part.
The Crookes tube was now brought
over the injured part n the electric
current switched on for two and a half
minutes. The firm was then developed
and showed the position of the bullet
between the bones of the forearm. The
other patients were dealt with, one
having an injury to the ankle and the
second to the knee; in both instances a
most successful Photograph vas Sc
cured.

Elegant evening bodices fastened at

feature of many of the beautiful even

the very decollete styles with a mere

JOAQUIN MILLER, THE POET.
Picturesque Genius Of the Sierras to Appear
in Vaudeville.

that he drifted from home, first going
to the gold fields of California, then to
Nicaragua with the Walker expedition,
hen back to the Rocky mountains to
live several years among the Indians
and then to begin the study of law in
1860. .t
When the civil war broke out he be-
gan publishing a rabid democratic pa
per at Eugene City, Ore, which was
suppressed for it's ~disloyalty to the
government. 1t was through his paper
that his first efforts as a poet We're
published, and the attention his verses
attracted quickly Won for him the title,
Poet Of the Sierras." He mixed in pol
tiles, was elected county judge of Grant
county in 1866, served our years on the
bench, n hen went to England and
published a volume of poems called
Songs Of the Sierras," a portion of
which had been published under the
same name in the United States.
SOCIAL SUCCESS IN LONDON.
For a long time Miller struggled in
vain to find a publisher. He wrote to
Tennyson, Robert Browning and other
literary men of note, but his appeals
for recognition went unheeded until
Lord Houghton, the noted patron of art
and literature, saw in the man with
the curling locks and ragged beard a
rara avis in the literary aviary. He
took Miller under his protecting wing,
published his poems for him, and in a
short while all London was at his feet,
figuratively speaking. He achieved un-
usual social triumphs arrayed in the
unconventional garb of the western
miner, and had the entree of the most
eXclus We drawing rooms of the west
end.
Miller made money by his venture
abroad. He went to Rome and stayed
tEere for a number of months. during
which time he produced his Songs Of
Italy," n of his most popular works.
Il is claimed hat: he lost much of his
wealth when lie returned to his coun-.
try among the Wall street brokers, but
However true this may be, it is also true
that he WINS a ranch of 100 acres sur
rounding his home in the hills back of
Oakland, CAL, and is in good demand
as a lecturer all over the country
ENTERTAINING COMPANION.
Miller is a most entertaining talker
and &C mpanion and is at his best when
lie is tellin" o. his early career in the
west. His early association with the
rough arc unpublished men who devel-
oped the gold mines Of California has
LIFT al indellhle stamp upon him which
is revealed in his quaint and forcible
way of expressing his thoughts. He
nuiAes '~Gog-gone" and "Ill be derned,"
and other like terms in his conversa-
ton and is frankness ~personifed at all
times. ..,
Among his best known works are
Songs of the Sierras," Pacific Psalms,
Songs of the Sun Land" Life Among
the Modocs,'' "Ship on the Desert" and
Songs Of the Soul" His poetry
abounds in unusual SMILES and meta
phols which at times are almost weird
in their quaintness Of expression. The
critics have dashed their whips around
the poets shoulders in vain, so far as
his peace of mind is concerned. They
are forced to admit, however, that with
al his grotesqueness and freakiness he
is Possessed of true poetic fervor.

ctllent application for sore eyes; strong
salt water second only to listerine as a
sargle for a sore throat. A hot salt

head, and is the remedy of our fore

and produce a spot very much like

the odor is forgotten in view Of the
spectacular features of the apparatus.
The action of the glass and metal plates
as the strong current of electricity
plays on them is beautiful. When
the current is turned or a slight phos-
phorescense appears all over the plates,
growing into a great glow, which
spreads over the apparatus and finally
fills and lights up the room. Photo
graphs of the ozonizers have been
taken with no other light than that
contained in this glow. 1t is like the
illumination of vacuum tubes. Yet this
glow is one of the things to be guarded
against by the ozone manufacturers.
Fol it generates heat, and eat in it's
u destroys ozone. So, while the
spectacle may be beautiful, it, is not
economic. The perfect ozonizer has no
glow. The apparatus is silent n eX-
cept for the pungent odor or the illum-
ination it would not be suspected Of
being capable; of wrestling from the air
its most vital principle and hurting it
off, to be used in the arts and indus
tries. AS an industrial proposition 1t
is beautiful, for all it needs is plenty
of fresh air to make it a working sue
cess, while, what is more important
to manufacturers, there are no annoy
ing by-products to cause a waste.
The application of ozone is a simple
enough process. In getting wood for
musical instruments the timber is mere
ly given an ozone bath. Wines and
liquors are impregnated with ozone for
a given time when they are found
to be much matured as to taste. Doubt
less this excess Of oXygen promotes
quickly the process which ordinary air
would require years to perform. Put
ting ozone in water is, after all, a
method of concentrated aeration. 1t
was tried with much success upon sew.
age and garbage which was used TO
fill behind crib work on one of the
islands in the East river near New
York City. The bleaching and the sea-
soning processes are possible for al
most the same reason as is intimated
above. Whatever the chemical form
ula, air, pure air, is a deadly destroyer
Of all that is impure, whether 1T is a
filth or a disease. Removing the I'M
purities of a substance will hasten the
bleaching process. The introduction Of
ozone into the atmosphere of the sick
room has in effect the same action as
though the patient were to be suddenly
conveyed to a mountain top. In fact,
the purifying and revivifying~ properties
Of the atmosphere are what keeps the
whole up to it's general marke of per-
lection. While this a been recognized
generally, man has heretofore not bene
able to hasten the process materially.
Now, however, by means of electric
currents he may inaugurate a clearing
and cleaning up process which may
Danish the unpleasantness of material
life as only lightning has been able
to do in the atmosphere.
