lists who have investigated the subject,
acknowledges Indebtedness to Bell,
who in 1880 devised the now well-known
"photophone." This instrument con-
sisted of plane mirror arranged to
reflect a beam of light upon a seleni-
um cell in circuit with a common tele-
phone receiver at the receiving end.
The mirror, which served as a tele-
phone diaphragm, was placed in front
of a resonating chamber and a mouth
piece, so that when any sound entered
the mouthpiece the mirror vibrated
and altered the intensity of the beam
of light. Owing to the presence of the
selenium, which, as is well known, Gu
riously alters its resistance in the light,
the changes in the beam of light pro-
duced vibrations in the receiver of the
diaphragm like those communicated
to the transmitter mirror. In this
way was the spoken message first
transmitted by means of light.
The improvements made by Runner
on the photophone, and particularly
the important discoveries which he has
made regarding the uses to which Sc
lenium may be put, are the grounds
upon which his present claims to rec
ignition rest. Bell and one or two
later eXperimenters succeeded with the
photophone in transmitting sound vi
brations for the briefest distances, but
failed woefully in turning out prac-
Hical apparatus. RUNNER has tried to
complete their Investigations by max
ing system that should be of CONNER
cial value. Had he, for instance, not
discovered that selenium is sensitive
to other than red and yellow rays-in
other words, that it is also sensitive to
blue, violet and ultraviolet, or invisible
> rays-it would have been impossible
for anyone in the future to telephone
when the sun was shining. The use
to which he has put this curious non
metallic element in his apparatus has
been the chief reason of his undoubted
success.

The Jew in Russia has felt, with
short intermissions of rest, the iron
hand of the oppressor for over hun
dred years. 1t is now more than
century that the holy empire has had
to deal with the inconvertible He
brew. When in the eighteenth CEN
tury the empire added Poland and n
portion of Turkish territory to her
domains of necessity many Jews were
added too. With their anti-Christ
they were hateful to her strict ortho-
doxy. and she thought to solve the
problem by setting aside for these
outcasts sort of pest place to which
they. should be confined. Thus came
into being the Pale of Settlement"
whose area has been enlarged from
time to time. and then again dimin-
ished. Russia outside the Pale, need
ing the cleverness and industry of the
Jew, occasionally invited him out to
help her; when she was through with
him always kicking him back again.

COMPLEXION AND LIVER.
Important Functions of the Organ
and Their Effect on the Facial
Appearance.

Since a bad complexion is usually di.
rectly traceable to a disordered liver
some knowledge as to the functions
of that very unruly organ should be
indispensable. People in general have
rather vague idea of the workings
Of the liver. They know that bile for
nation is one of its functions; but
further than this they are at sea, SAYS
American Queen.
Starch, which is contained in so
many articles of diet, is converted by
the saliva and pancreas juice into
sugar. Starch cannot readily enter the
blood in its unchanged state, but when
it has become sugar it passes in the
blood stream to the liver. which in turn
takes it up and changes it into another
substance called glycogen; this is
stored up by the liver and is used as
the body needs it.
The liver has other functions, and
more important ones than bile forma-
ton, and it is not often affected in all
these functions equally. Part. of the
glycogen. is converted into sugar and
discharged into the blood, where by
union with oxygen it furnishes heat
for the body. Some of the glycogen
is changed into fat, which is also sent
into the blood, finally lodging in some
tissue which it nourishes.
The most important function of the
liver is the changing of waste material
into substance that can be easily ex-
creted by other organs. Every mo-
ment of life the particles of the body
are being destroyed and renewed. and
the debris is received into the blood.
When the bile secretion is defective
the chief symptoms are constipation,
sallowness and thinness.
If the glycogen function is defective
the temperature is low and the BODY
/, is often emaciated. Digestion always
suffers, and the skin. besides being sal
low. is apt to break out into disorders.
Drugs bring relief, but they do not
cure these disorders. The system
should be brought under hygienic con-
ditions by proper diet and living. The
circulation of the blood should be good.
for all the blood in the body is supposed
to pass through the liver twice in every
minute. Circulation can be effected
by systematic exercise.
If dyspepsia is present. give up the
indigestible articles of food. instead
of digesting them with pepsin or o,ner
sagents. In case of this kind inCliges-
ton is an indication that the liver in
not prepared to take the food eaten.

sell, lease or mortgage real estate to
Jews throughout the empire, and
Jews who had acquired such property
ish artisans, apothecaries' assistants,
dentists, midwives and all appren-
tees were to be expelled from all
places outside the Pale. Next, the
same year, there was ordered a gen.
eral expulsion of all foreign Jews
from southern Russia.
Families that had lived for years in
the same place were forced to seek
new homes in foreign lands or en-
deavor to support existence in the
Pale. And this Pale of Settlement.
which stretches along the frontier
from the Baltic to the Black sea, was
a hell of seething wretchedness.'
The edicts of 1890 resulted in that
sad new exodus" of such recent date
as not yet to be forgotten. Hordes
of Jewish eXiles were sent out from
Russia, many practically penniless,
for they had been obliged to part
with their property for mere moth.
ing. In RHssia's mad haste to be rid
of the hated subjects forcible expul-
sions were the rule. Children became
separated from parents, husbands
from wives; and in Moscow the zeal
of the chief of police led to barbar-
Gus acts on the part of his followers.
The aggregate number of Jews in
Russia, as given by the last (incom-
plete) census reports, exceeds 4,OOO,-
600; 2.843, 1874 of these in the>western
and southwestern provinces; 1928 in
the three townships of Odessa, Kerch
and Sebastopol. and 431, sos in Poland.

The German government authorities,
in granting substantial sum of money
to young Berlin scientist, Ernest
Ruhmer, with which to continue the
experiments so successfully carried out
by him last year near Berlin, evidently
believe that the day of wireless tele-
phony is near at hand. Theserexperi-
ments proved the ability of the scien-
fist, under varying atmospheric condi-
tons, to transmit articulate sound
across water over distances varying
from a mile to nine and a third miles,

ceived and understood The earliest re-
ports of his success, stating that he had
talked over a distance of four miles,
were extraordinary in their signifi-
canoe. The latest accounts suggest
possibilities which, 25 years ago, would
have been beyond the thought of san
guine man.

credit of the discovery of photophony,

And the quarter century succeeding
is denofninated the golden age of the
Russian Jew.
But the golden age was not of long
duration. Persecution of the Jews
was a marked feature of the last
quarter of the nineteenth century.
Though a great part of Europe was
engaged in this strange anti-Semitic
movement, it was in the land of the
car the most serious religious perse-
cutions were allowed, or at least oc-
CURED. From 1855 to 1881 the lives
and property of the Russian Jews
were safe, though their liberties
were more or less restricted; but the
latter year marked the beginning of
active enmity toward the people of
Israel. Really the crime for which
they were to be punished was that
they had prospered, a sufficient ex-
cuse for punitive measures on, the
