Ger of the skin, of which many cases

these two new therapeutic agencies
many hitherto rebellious skin dis

The value of light as a powerful

the most recent contributions to med
icine. Yet already its claims in GER
tain specific diseases are established

been thrown open which promises

The standard bearer par excellence

Niels Finsen, of Dnmark.
AS a result of various experiments
on bacteria and certain animals and
plants, Finsen was led to the conclu-
sion that the actinic or chemical rays
contained in sunshine were of thera-
peutic value rather than the red or
heat rays. If these rays could kill
certain bacteria-notably the bacillus
tuberculosis why could they not
also cure certain superficial skin dis
eases of archaeological origin? he
argued.
The action of ordinary sunlight
deficient in chemical rays-was too
slow, however, and Finsen, by means
of lenses, first concentrated the di-
rect rays of the sun and later those
of an electric arc light, as being rich
er In actinic rays and therefore more
powerful.

q department Of phototherapy, to
which the Einsen Lght treatment is
applied. A lamp has recently been
imported from England which is an
adaptation Oh the original Finsen
lamp and considered III many re-
spects an advance on its model.
1t consists Of an arc light with a
hollow metal shield into which are
fitted two rock crystal lenses used
for concentrating the light rays.
Cold water, constantly flowing
through the shield and between the
lenses, carries off the heat rays gen
Grated by the arc. The shield also
protects the patient from the light,
whose brilliancy may be judged from
the fact that those operating the
lamp are obliged to wear dark
glasses. The treatment is perfectly
safe and practically painless, while
the healthy normal appearance of
the skin when cured is most remarka-

The lamp at the Polytechnic, says the

the limitations of the light treat
ment are still unknown, but its flu

lie has been abandoned. and the land

who became Duke of Northumberland.
From the family of his mother. a well
born woman, he inherited a fortune.
He became a noted scientist with a
strong political preference for republic
an institutions. He never married and
when he died left nearly all his estate
ito the United States of America to
of the Smithsonian institution, an es-
adjustment for the increase and diffu-
sion of knowledge among men," The
money, f104, 800, was sent to the Unit
ed States in 1885, and the institution
was established by congress in 1876.
Smfthson once wrote: 1.-THE best blood
of England flows in my veins. On my
fathers side | am a Northumberland,
on my mothers I am related to kings;
but this avails me not. My name shall
live in the memory of man when the
titles of the Northumberland and the
Percys are extinct and forgotten" He
hitched his wagon to the right star, and
his forecast is we'll on the way toward
fulfllment. His bones should come to
Washington. Mr.. Alexander Graham
Bell, one of the regents of the Smith
sonian, strongly advocates bringing

The early reports of the explosion Of

the gun from the importation of be-

the former theory that these costly

This particular gun burst at the

that, after spending tens of thousands
