A FAREWELL FETE.
r. & c. c. Employees Show APP
probation of MIR. Ridgway.

Saturday evening, at the request
of Mr.. A. c. Ridgway, formerly
general superintendent of the
Florence and Cripple Greek, Gold
en- Circle, Canon City and Cripple
Creek Railroads, and the LaBella
Mill, Water and Power Company,
large mum Der of his former en-
ployes gathered at his home on
West Second street, to meet and
greet him before he left for his
new field of labor; but by reason
of delayed train Mr.. Ridgway
did not arrive in Florence until
about 12:30 a IN. A delegation of
his employees met him at the sta
tion with a carriage and escorted
him to his home, which at that
time presented very unusual
scene; for in the house, from all
parts, all stations and departments
of the railroads, were his employees
gathered together for the express
purpose of wishing him his usual
success in his new field of oper-
ations, and rendering their regrets
of hisseverauce with the compaI as.
After the greetings all around
the employees through Mr.. Lee
Champion, of Florence, and Mr..
w. n. Cartwright, of Cripple Greek
as slight token of their appreci-
alton in a few well chosen remarks
presented to Mr.. Ridgway, beau
tiful lounging chair and diamond
shirt stud. The occasion was so
full of feeling on the part of every
one present, that Mr.. Ridgway
was all but overcome and it was
sometime before he regained en-
tire mastery of himself In re-
spending to the men Mr.. Ridgway,
characteristic of himself, spoke
with a direct frankness that touch
ed the hearts of all of his employees
present, and made them wish that
circumstances had not intervened
to sever their connections.
Prior to Mr.. Ridgway's return
to Florence, the employees had been
in full possession of his home, and
Mrs. Ridgway, Mrs. Ruby and
Mrs Wood did the honors until he
came. The ladies were assisted
by Mr. f. r. Rockwell, the new
superintendent in charge, and Mr.
Geo. r. Simmons, general store
keeper, who proved themselves to
be two of the most versatile that
were ever turned loose in any
community, and their happy en-
deavors were full of entertainment
during the entire evening
A beautiful and bounteous lunch
was provided. and general So
cial entertainment afforded, for
everyone present enjoyed him
self very much and the occasion
will always be happily remembered
by all those who participated
therein.

Watching the Stomach.

The applications of the Roentgen
rays, especially in the domain of
medicine and surgery, are of constantly
widening usefulness, although one
hears less of them in the daily press,
now that the keen edge of the novelty
has been blunted by worlds ap-
probation. Two fields of exploration
made possible by the fuoroscence of
vacuum tubes, and recently entered,
are of noteworthy promise. One is
the examination Of lung tissue IN the
case of consumption. The healthy
lung gives comparatively little
shadow in the sciagraph, while the
diseased tissue has much darker ap-
pearance in the picture. 1t is thus
possible to ascertain exactly the part
affected. and to attempt palliative or
remedial treatment accordingly.
The otherrecent use of the Roentgen
ray of especial value is in observing
the movements of the stomach and its
contents in the preliminary digestive
process. By mixing subnitrate of
bismuth, which is said to be harm
less powder, with the food, the move
ments of the stomach may be seen by
means of the horoscope under suit
able conditions The knowledge thus
gained is of great Importance 70 the
physiologist and the physician, as
many facts hitherto unknown are re-
vealed.
1t is not strange that an English
writer playfully remarked that the x
ray may yet be employed to read the
riddle of the Sphinx. 1t is certain
that Professor Roentgen gave to the
world discovery which is bringing to
mortal gaze many of the deep-hidden
mysteries Of nature. Western Elec-
trician.

The Golf Ball Industry.

One of the interesting things about
the golf ball industry is the ingenuity
shown by manufacturers in shaping the
ball SO as to offer the least resistance
to the air. 1t has been found that the
markings or grooves on the surface of
these little spheres have good deal
to do with their fight, and ever since
gutta-rercha has been employed in
their manufacture the problem has
been to make these grooves as effec-
tive as possible. Some have at
tempted to reduce the outside resist
ance by fiattening out countless little
squares on the surface of the ball. A
London paper in speaking of the mat
ter has ethis to say; Provided the
Sutta-percha be good and properly
seasoned there seems to be no reason
for the very deep markings which are
to be seen on many balls; while it is
obvious that the undue number of
lines must decrease in size, and, CON
sequently, the resisting power of the
points left exposed to the blow. If
the material be hard a very shallow
groove is all that is necessary to de-
tach the points of impact, and to sus-
tain the blow" The same paper, in
referring to the Importance OF the golf
ball industry, says that from 10000,
600 to 10000, 900 balls are turned out
annually in Great Britain. A large
part of that number probably comes
to this country, for, although Ameri,
eau manufacturers are holding their
own in club-making, they are still
somewhat behind their English rivals
in the matter of golf balls.
