Professor George Il. Baker of the
University Of Pennsylvania, has made
4 discovery that will rank with that
Of Roentgen of Xray fame, If not above
It, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Roentgen ray was the first tenta-
tive experiment in the line of photo
graphing through apparently opaque
bodies, and the difficulty of securing
good results with certainty and dis
patch has been apparent to all those
who have used the system. Professor
Barker now announces that by means
Of the new element, radlum, discovered
by Nine. Curie of Paris, he is able to
take n photograph in manner similar
20 that used in the Xray process in less
.han half Il minute.
The value of this discovery is plain
to all those who have followed medl-
,an science. The slow process requir-
I'd by the Xray will be done away with
entirely, and negatives secured in so
short space of time that the patient
will not be discommoded by the work
Further. instead of the delicate and
.ostly electrical apparatus now requir-
ed, plate of radium will be substi-
uted. This metal has the peculiar
property of radiating an invisible glow
and apparently violates one of the ele-
nentary laws of physics in that it does
not derive its photographic power
from the sun, nor lose it by expen-
1iture. 1t is, therefore, far more eco
aomical to use than the Roentgen ray,
and is always ready, requiring no
careful adjustment. The body through
which the photograph is to be made
is placed between Il plate Of the metal
and the sensitive Photographic plate.
In surgical cases the time required is
less than half a minute. The Radlum
plate is apparently easy TO prepare
and has none of the bad effects, such
as burning and blistering, which gen
orally accompany Xray work.

congratulated on the results of his ex-
periments-

There Is more Catarrh IN this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For y great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be n constitu-
tional disease. and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio,

BUY MIG AMIN AL s.

OF late years. since menageries have
become common in large cities, the
importations of wild animals have
greatly increaseds and ships have car
ried across the ocean cargoes of fierce
| tigers, lions, great apes and elephants
with as much unconcern as though
they were white rats or rabbits. Deal
ing in wild animals has been reduced
to the same basis as buying and
selling tame live stock.
Famous dogs and horses cost more
money than wild animals, for while
blooded St Bernard may bring
$4,000, a well-grown lion can be
bought for less than $1,000, and the
prices in the lion market never go
over 81 200 for a good specimen.
The elephant is a beast of burden
as well as a curiosity, and is there
fore always valuable according to his
size and intelligence. A well-trained
elephant will bring $4,000, and the
lowest price paid is $1,000.
The menagerie of big circus is
an expensive investment for one we'll
known American circus says it loses
$4,000 year through the sickness
and death of it's animals. The cat
tribe is the best investment, for lions
and tigers live about twelve years in
confinement. though some in the
country today are known to be at
least thirty years old. The weak
spot in the cat tribe is their lungs,
and they catch cold in the slightest
draught.
Bears live long time, and are not
subject to many illnesses. A fine
grizzly can be bought for $3.50. Gil

being their usual price. They are so
delicate they have to be treated like
a hothouse flower and die very soon.
Ostriches also are delicate, and suffer
from dyspepsia. Monkeys are cheap,
but die so rapidly from no apparent
cause whatever that a travelling show
has to replenish its stock often during
one season.
