RAYS IN DERMATOLOGY.
Treatment OF Skin Diseases by Use of
these RAYS.


Dr. William Allen Pussy in an ad-
dress delivered before the American
Chronological Association. recently
published in the journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, discusses the
use of Roentgen rays in the treatment
of skin diseases. After enumerating
a number of diseases of this character
where he thinks these rays might be
used beneficially, he refers more speci-
fically to the removal of the super
fiuous hairs from the face. regarding
which he says: THE effect of the rays
upon the epithelial structures of the
skin is to increase the vitality of the
least differentiated skin clements
While the differentiated elements, hair.
nails and glands-undergo retrogres-
sive changes and atrophy." In nine
cases that he had treated two were
compelled to give up before results
could be obtained, but in the other
seven the cure was entirely satisfac-
tory. He thinks that as sebaceous
and sweat glands are similarly though
in less degree than the hair follicles
affected by X-rayS that it will be pos
Sible to use them effectually in the
treatment of disorders of these glands.
Regarding the factors in the rays that
produce these effects he is of the opin-
ION that they appertain to the rays
themselves and not to an incident of
their production like ozone. or in
duCSd electrical currents in the tissues,
or particles of platinum carried off
from the anticathodes. He bases this
conclusion upon the fact that tho
esser degree of X-ray burns resemble
those of sunburn more closely than
any other pathological process, and as
this is due to the actinic rays of sun
light thinks there is no valid reason
for not believing that the effects of
the X-rays on the tissues are due to
the actinic rays of N-rays. This is
"urther substantiated by the known
fact that X-rays are strikingly similar
in their actinic properties to the rays
Of light at the violet end of the spec
trum upon a Photographic plate He
concludes by saying: IF this is true,
the method of treatment is identical in
principal with that of Finsen."

CHANGES IN CHINA.
THE LAND OF THE DRAGON MAKING
PROGRESS.
Returned Missionary Tells OF the In
auence OF Three Wars-Says Armed
Invasions Have Caused Many Reforms
In the Empire.

The Rev. e. E. Aiken, a missionary
who lost his wife in China, is now in
this country with his two children.
While engaged in his work in China,
invaria bly, wore the native costume, as
it gave him greater opportunity of
access to the people he sought to serve.
He has appeared before American au-
diences in the same costume. Mr..
Aiken says the Chinese now regard the
boxer movement as having utterly col
lapsed. They now entertain a kindlier
feeling toward Christians than they
have done at any previous time. The
passing of the storm of war and mas
sacre is to be followed by brighter
day than has yet dawned upon the
land of Sinim." Speaking of the Chi
nese people. he says:
1T could hardly be expected that a
great, ancient and conservative race
should change their religious beliefs
and customs, and adopt Christianity
without struggle. In the recent up
rising in north China, we see history
repeating itself; yet the power of
Christianity in the world is now so
great that it does not seem possible
for religious persecution to go to the
mer instances. Witness the way in
which persecution has already been
stopped and the wrongs of many native
Christians righted through the inter-
ference of Western nations.
Moreover, the experience OF the
past in China has been that the war
with Great Britain in 1912, the war
with Britain and France in 1860, and
the war with Japan in 1894. each sue
cessively resulted in opening the en-
pire far more than before to commerce
and modern civilization. as we'll as to
missions. The uprising Of 1900. it is
true, differed from all that had gone
before in that it represented a tremen-
dous popular movement in reaction
against everything foreign, Christian
ity included. The fact that, as such, it
has totally failed, must be as appar-

Butler said a Bostonian. He ran riot

years was even petted and humored by
opposing counsel l happened to be il

tending client charged with a most
serious offense against the communi-
ty. The case attracted great attention
On the third day the defendant did nat
appear and the Judge asked Butler to
be good enough to produce him. 1t Is
impossible, your honor said the gen.
erai. But the business of the court
must proceed. The learned counsel
will produce the defendant said the
Judge severely. Butler repeated:
Your honor it is impossible. The de-

a consultation with him last night I
came to the conclusion that he was
guilty and felt it was my duty, as his
legal adviser, to warn him to leave the

honor, without informing me of his

right, and the solemn Judge had to re-

italian laborers as rule dislike to
strike. and if they can adjust a differ
ence with an employer in any other
way, prefer to do so. A company Of
Italian navvies were engaged as help
ers in the construction of railway in
Germany. One day it was announced
that the wages of the workmen would
pc reduced. The German laborers con-
suited among themselves and then
went out on a strike. But the Italians
made no remonstrance. During the
night, however, each Italian cut an
inch off his shovel. The next morn
ing they ali went to work as usual.
After awhile the engineer discovered
what had been done, and calling up
the ringleader Of the Italians asked
him the meaning Of it. The man looked
at him for a moment. and then his
teeth showed in a cleaning smile
Not so much pay. not lift so much
dirt" he said gently. with the air Of
one who explains a simple matter to

Gold in Kansas Shale.

Professor Ernst Fahrig, chief of
laboratories of the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum, gives the result of
test made by him of the shale found in
Ellis and Trego counties of Kansas,
which is believed to contain gold in
paying quantities. The test comprises
three mill runs, in which gold was Sc
cured to the amount of 2.35, $2.56 and
1907, respectively, by the electrolytic
process. Prof. Fahrig visited the shale
fields and gathered the sample lots
which were used in the above tests.
He makes an official certificate of the
above tests, and states that he has
no doubt of the existence OF gold in
the great body OF these shale lands,
and the ore can be probably worked
upon . yield OF 81 per ton.

Cornation Robes.
In another room are the coronation

priceless. A large hall is filled with
the carriages in which they have rid

covered with gilt and exquisite cary

with appropriate pictures by famous
artists Of their times. Others have

Several large rooms are filled with
cases containing gold and silver plate
presented to the several sovereigns of
Russia during the last five or six cen

enormous. Here also are suits of ar

ancient days. many OF them being
heavily mounted with gold, silver and
precious stones.
Gigantic Emerald.
The largest emerald ever known is
in the crown of Kazan, surrounded by
100 other precious stones of grea:
value.
The largest ruby ever found is in the
crown of the Empress Anne, which
was originally made for Ca.nerine l..
the peasant wife of Peter the Great,
but for some reason was not used at
her coronation. This ruby was pur-
chased at Pekin in 1876 by the Rus
sian ambassador. 1t originally came
from Burmah and is priceless. It
stands upon the crest of a golden mitre
embossed with 1886 diamonds.
Each of the several ancient churches
in the kremlin at Moscow has it's own
history, associations and uses. ST.

rible because of remorse for the killing
Of his own son while in passion. Ivan
was so proud OF its barharic beauty

as a colored nlghtmare-that he put
out the eyes of the architect for fear
some other sovereign would be jealous
and might attempt to duplicate it or
surpass it
In the Church of the Annunciation
the cars are married: in the Church OF
the Assumption they are crowned and
before that ceremony they attend Mass
and are anointed in the Church of
Michael the Archangel. All these
churches are within the Kremlin and
are within few hundred yards Of one
another.

Royal Family Secrets.

A few months ago the Empress Fred
erick caused her journals and her cor
respondence to be destroyed, including
an immense collection of letters writ
ten by Queen Victoria, most of which
were, of course, of a strictly confiden-
tial nature. The late Empress was no
doubt anxious to prevent any posi-
bility of a repetition of the vexatious
tracasseries which arose about the pa
pers of Emperor Frederick and caused
so much trouble during the summer
Of 1888, until they were safely de-
posted among the Fohenzollern family
archives at Berlin. 1t is believed that
the famous diary, about which there
were such floods of gossip, was burnt
shortly after this removal. 1t is well
known that Queen Victoria had great
deal of trouble and anxiety about the
Prince Consort's confidential CORE
spondence with his brother, the late
Duke Ernest of SaXe-Coburg- Gotha
Prince Albert wrote most openly to his
brother and his weekly letters were full
of private family affairs and of social
and political secret history. Ultimately
Duke Ernest handed over the Princes
letters to the Queen, who also re-
covered her husbands correspondence
with his cousin, the late king of Portu-
gal.-London Truth.

A GIANT FUCHSIA
Magnificent Specimen of This Plant IL
Portland, Oregon.


The largest and most magnificent
fuchsia plant in this city, and prob
ably in the state, is to be seen in the
garden Of Robert Foulkes, says the
Portland Oregonian. 1t springs from a
single stem some three inches in diam
eter. but divides into three at the sur
face of the ground. The top is seven
feet in height and is twenty-six feet
in circumference, and is loaded with
hundreds OF beautiful flowers in every
stage of development, while the ground
beneath is carpeted with fallen bios
SONS. The plant would have been
much higher and broader but for the
fact that it has to be put in the cellar
every winter and the limbs have to be
trimmed off. The height has to be re-
duced SO that it can stand under the
foor above. A rather remarkable thing
is that when the plant is dug up at the
beginning of winter, it is in full foliage
and still loaded with blossoms Up
roofing almost any plant in this con-
dition would prove fatal but the fuch-
STA takes it all as matter of course,
and soon after it is houses the leaves
and flowers fade and drop off and the
plant goes to sleep. AS soon as it feels
the breath OF spring it begins to put
forth tender shoots in profusion, as
hint that 1t wants to get out of doors.
When 1t is planted out, it starts in
growing and blowing as if to make
up for lost time Mr.. Foulkes has sew
eral other varieties of fuchsia in his
garden, one of which produces beauti-
full blossoms eight inches in length
from the end of the stem to the end
of the petals.

An Arith metic Lesson.

\ lesson in arithmetic is no joke
painful reality, rather-yet a Boston
school boy is alleged to have been in
spired to humor by the very worst of
the problems in long division. After
he had failed on the sums the teacher
had set. he asked permission to give
one of his own. The privilege was
granted My aunt has eight child
rem" he said, and she doesn't like to
favor one above the other She was
at the market the other day and she
bought eight apples for them, one
apiece; but when she got home she
found she'd lost one apple. All the
same she divided She apples so as to
give each child the same number.
How did she do it? The class hadn't
got along to fractions, and the boy
insisted that his aunt knew nothing
about algebra. So the puzzled teacher
finally asked: We'll, how did she
divide the seven apples so as to give
each of the eight children an equal
number?'' she made apple sauce

Lighthouse and Fort.

One of the most interesting and curl
Gus lighthouses in the world has
just been completed on the cape which
forms the southern end of the island
of Formosa. Standing in a region in
habited only by hostile savages. this
structure is not only a lighthouse,
but also a fort. The lantern is pro.
tected by revolving steel screens, and
in the gallery around the top of the
tower is mounted a machine gun. The
tower is of steel. and around it's base
is built wrought iron refuge, or fort,
which communicates by bullet-proof
covered passages with the keepers
house. The station is still further
protected by a 1oophoIed wall and a
dry ditch, hanked by two towers In
which are mounted S-pound cannon,
There is a large staff attached to the
lighthouse and the station is we'll sup
piled with material for standing a
siege. There are kept on hand con-
stantly stores of food and ammunition
and large water tanks in the basement
OF the tower always are kept full Of

INDIANS AS POLITICIANS.
Elostioneering Among tho Tribes 0A
Rather Unique Plan.

EloStioneerlng Among tho Tribes 0A
Rather Unique Plan.
The campaigns of the Indians are a
story of sharp moves and deep laid
plans, and, as among themselves they
cannot all be bosses, the game of poll
tics often becomes swift and exceed
iEgly dangerous. Electioneering is
carried on in rather unique manner.
They give big picnics in the back
woods. Here the candidates meet and
debate on certain subjects. II their
temper gets the better of them, and
1t generally does, they fight IL out.
At picnic given by the Cherokees
some f1ye years ago three men were
killed because Of the accusation by
one that the other two were guilty
OF atesling horses Big feasts are
held at these gatherings, the ex.
penses being borne by the candidate
who is elected, The bills are never
paid until after election: theE the
winner takes them all into his Office
and gives vouchers on the government.
So it is generally understood tia. the
expenses of the campaign are borne
out Of the public funds. There is no
such thing as taxation among tie In
dians, all of their money coming :rcm
invested funds in the treasury at
Washington. 1t is the aim of the whole
Indian populace not to keep this money
there. but to get hold of as much of
it as possible. With that aim in view
they are apt to elect men who lay
stress on their ability as diplomats at
Washington. An attorney in Table
quah won 100000 fee for securing
big sum OF money as an appropria-
tlon to the Indians.-Detroit Frea
