Two miles and half from the town
Insurgents were found intrenched in
the woods. Major Logans battalion
had rushed forward and for few
minutes the fight was stubborn and
hot. Then the insurgents began to fall
back.
Five of the Americans lay dead on
the road in front OF the trenches which
the insurgents had hastily thrown
across 1t. Major Logan was dying In
the little nipa shack which was used
as field hospital. The wave of battle
was receding, but sharpshooters were
still potting the hospital.
A white flag bearing the Red Cross
signal was stuck up in the yard where
the dead and wounded Americans lay.
A jocular insurgent shot the bamboo
staff squarely in two.
No troops had been left as a hospital

among his wounded men with a revolt

man seized them. He impressed them
into service in provisional defence

rapidly as possible.

1--WE need you here worse than they do
at the front. Go over there in that
bunch of bamboo ard see If you can
get that sharpshooter who Is trying to
kill these wounded men. Shoot his head
Off and I'll have you promoted"
Every man who could stand on his
feet at all was put on the firing line,
which the Major was rapidly throwing
around the hospital. A man shot
through the ankle volunteered for duty.
He crawled out in the yard, and, with
his rifle thrown across an old tree
trunk. kept vigiant watch on the
row Of bamboo off to the right.
Capt. Shields, who had been sent
down the road with part Of his COM
pany to see that the hospital was not
being attacked in force, received the
favorable consideration OF sharp
shooter concealed somewhere close to
him. One bullet brushed his hat. The
next kicked up the dust just in front
of him, and the third screamed past his
ear. Capt. Shields paused. He was an
noyed.
IF that fool doesn't quit that mon
key business, he's liable to do me bodi-
1y injury" said the Captain slowly.

"Well, get him. replied the Captain.

= New Chemical Which 10 Better
Thar TIE X.Ray.

Prof. George r. Barker. of the phy-
slcal laboratory of the University of
pennsylvania, exhibited last week for
the nrsf time IL America, the newly
discovered chemical element radiun.
which seems destined to create a great
stir in the scientific world. Years ago
Bequerel found that salts of the rare
metal uranium possessed the power of
throwing off a feeble and invisible rs
dance like the X rsys. Nine. Curie. in

hemian mineral pitchblend two other
elements that behave in the same man.
ner, but are far more active. One of
them she called "polonium- and the
other 'radium." The latter is said to
De 100000 times as intense as uranium
IN its Photographic effect.
Prof. Barker has been experimenting
with all three of these elements and
with the mineral (pitchblend or ura-
nlte) from which the two new ele-
ments are derived. He showed to the
photographed Sab here this week a
series OF photos aAnic plates on which
impressions had been produced by
THESE substances. His procedure has
been as follows:
"a Photographic plate was inclosed
in black paper and then covered with
yellow paper. After one whole DAVIS
exposure to the sunlight no effect was
produced. This precaution proved the
thoroughness of the protection. Then
the various metals and salts were
placed upon the paper covered plate
and they produced dark stains.
IN order to take photographs Of OBJ
jects such as a hand or foot these OBJ
Jects would be placed between the met
al and the plate, and the result would
be similar to those obtained by the
K rays such substances as bone would
show clearly through the flesh and sur
rounding tissue. A photograph can be
taken by means of radium in half q
minute.
"The Importance of this discovery
can hardly be overestimated. The won
derful results of the X rays now SO
useful in surgical diagnosis, can be du-
pllcated by method much cheaper.
Moreover radium seems to suffer no
diminution OF energy Or loss of weight
during the process. In addition to pro-
ducing an impression on the photo
graphic plate, radium produces phos-
phOrescence. and discharges electrified
bodies. Thus it will be seen that 1t
possesses all the qualities of the Ro-
entgen rays.
"Radiun apparently violates one Of
the fundamental laws of physics,
namely that of the conservation Of en-
ergy. 1t does not derive its photograph
ic power from the sunlight nor lose 10
by expenditure" IN. Y. Tribune.
