EQUALS THE x-RAYs.

RrAph.

A Philadclphian Makes . Similar Photo
graph.
Professor George +. Baker of the
University of Pennsylvania, has made
discovery that will rank with that
of Roentgen of Xray fame, II NOT above
1t, 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. Curle of Paris, he Is able to
take photograph In u manner similar
to that used in the Xray process in less
than half n minute.
The value of this discovery Is plain
to all those who have followed medi-
can science. The slow process rcquir-
ed by the Xray will be done away with
entirely, and negatives secured In SO
short space of time that the patient
Will not be DISCONNECTED by the work.
Further, instead OF the delicate and
costly electrical apparatus now rcquir-
ed, plate of radlum will be substl-
tuted. This metal has the peculiar
property Of radlatlng an invisible glow
and apparently violates one of the ele-
mentary laws of physics In that 1t does
not derive its photographatic power
from the sun, nor lose 1t by cxpen-
diture. 1t is, therefore. far more eco
nOmicnl to use than the toentgen ray,
and IL always ready. requiring no
careful adjustment. The body through
which the photograph IL to be made
is placed between plate of the metal
and the sensitive Photographic plate
In surgical cases the time required Is
less than half minute. The Radlum
plate Is apparently easy to prepare
and has none of the bad effects, such
rs burning and blistcring. which gen.
orally accompany Xray work.

THE FREEDOM OF TEACHING.
Views which supply Student with In

Views which supply . student with In.
tslisctual Tools.
Boards Of trustees will be henceforth
inclined to place restrictions upon the
freedom Of teaching. while, on the
other hand. they will be the more in
clined to exercise great care In the
selection of the men to whom they ac-
cord discretion, says Review Of Re-
views. Further than that. 1t is now
admitted that the colleges and univer-
stiles are not in their nature well
suited to be centers Of agitation or
propaganda, but rather that their
sphere is disciplinary study and calm,
scientific research. The object Of the
schools of higher learning should be
not 80 much to give the student set
Of views as to supply him with intel
lectual tools and methods. so that he
may In due time find his way to con-
illusions OF his own. A college profess
sor is citizen and man. Even In
Germany, where one expects to hnd
restraint and regulation, the univer-
sity professors are seldom conscious of
any limitations under their perfect
freedom to utter and to teach Ehat-
ever they believe. We cannot xhord
In this country to muzzle any OF our
teachers. Their freed m will be use
ful In ten thousand cases where 1t
might be harmful in one. This, of
course, applies to men whose function
Is really that of teaching. Sometimes
men find themselves In college chairs
who do not rightly belong there.
Some socialists make excellent profess
sors of political economy: others do
not. Thus some Of the foremost uni
versity economists of Germany are
socialists; but. on the other hand.
some Of the foremost socialists OF Ger
many would be wholly out of place
In the universities. This is an obvi-
Gus distinction, yet It is sometimes lost
sight Of when men discuss this ques-
tion Of the freedom OF teaching. There
are cases where 1t is the teacher rath-
er rather than the teaching that is
at the bottom Of the controversy.

HANNA KNOWS HIS PARTY

The indianapolis Sentinel says
that while it is disgusting to see
how the picked representatives of
the republican party in congress
crouch under the party lash it is
interesting to note how correctly
Mark Hanna has estimated the
lack OF nerve and backbone among
his followers. There has never
been time before in the history
Of this country when one man so
completely dominated the governs
ment as this money king does at
present. Mckinley is completely
under his control and the action of
the house caucus shows that con-
gress is likewise ready to do his
bidding. The ghastly possibility
remains that he can also dictate
the opinions of the supreme court
in the matters which he considers
Of importance. And no man ever
used his power more recklessly.
None ever ventured such assaults
on the constitution or was able to
secure their open defense from
party men so generally. 1t is more
than astonishing.
People talk about mi!itarism in
this country being 'bogie. 1t is
not. The real danger of it comes
from just such a machine leader as
this. There is only one escape
from such man, and that is
through an awakened and aroused
people.

Lord Wolseley places much value In
the personal appearance OF our SOL
disrs, and believes in having them well
and smartly dressed, says the London
Mail. THE soldier" he says in his
"Pocketbook." Is a peculiar animal
that can alone be brought to the high
est efficiency by inducing him to be-
lieve that he belongs to a regiment
which is infinitely superior to the 9TH
ers about him. In their endeavor to
foster this spirit, colonels are greatly
aided by being able to point to some
popularity in dress or title, and for
this reason it is most unwise to take
from regiment any device or peculi-
arity of any sort in which the men
take pride An attempt to change
the dress of the Madras army led to
the mutiny of Vellore. The duke OF
Wellington said of his officers in Spain
that many of his best men were the
greatest dandies. The better you
dress soldier the more highly he will
be thought of by women. and conse-
quently by himself. 1t is not easy at
any time to make an Englishman look
like soldier. He Is fond of longish
hair and uncut whiskers. Men who
have never worn boards are apt to
think that to wear one saves a good
deal of trouble. On service discipline.

is paid to dress, and when the men

made for men who march daily. They
cannot be expected to be shaved and
have their clothes as well brushed as
in barracks; but without wearying or
in any way bullying them a great deal
may be done by officers acting upon
good system. Make a man proud of
himself and his corps and he can al
ways be depended upon. He must be-
lieve that his duties are the noblest
that ever fell to mans lot. He must
be taught to despise all those Of civil
