A Ghost on Shipboard.

Then, plainly audible to ALL came
along the deck the heavy tread OF

pervading the room with a cold CLEAN.
At the table was dimly d.scernible
something-some one-or else 4

The shape seemed to bend over the

from its seat and retire towards the

And the nation is so great
That people seem to think they hardly
Need to celebrate
The birthday of the symbol.

A REMARKABLE LAWSUIT.
OF Interest to the Doctors and Law
yers.

The surgical possibilities and the
legal liabilities of the use of the
Roentgen rays were for the first time
within the British dominions ex-
haustively investigated in the Dublin
law courts last month. lad. a resi-
ldent of Galway, the seat of one OF
the Queens colleges" was suspecte I
of having a needle lying within or
near one of his knee joints. Prof
Colohan (of Queens college) sent him
to the assistant in the physical.
laboratory, man named Hare. to
have the joint autographed. in order
to perfect the diagnosis. The result
was not satisfactory. and after some
repetition a Roentgen ray burn APP
pears to have been developed.
Ultimately the boy was sent to Dublin
for aivice and treatment, and the
comments there made on the origin or
the cutaneous sore led to the Legal
proceedings. There were three ac-
lions brought by the guardians of the
boy, one against DR.. Colohan. one
against the laboratory assistant.
Hare, and one against the college
authorities.
The trial lasted seven days, Il
kings council were retained through

moned from the other side of te Irish
channel and those of Dublin were
necessarily pressed TO the front The
evidence of Or. W s. Haughton. the
premier Roentgen rays specialist on
Dublin. was the conspicuous expert
feature of the whole trial. Every pos.
sible aspect and every practical
property of the Roentgen rays. in
their relationships with human tissues

A PORTABLE TELEPHONE.

The latest Swedish invention that is
being discussed is a portable tela
phone. The specimens that have been
sent abroad have elected unstinted
praise from Austrian, Russian, Greek
and Turkish experts who have tested
them, and, while large demands and
inquiries for the new phone have
come from France, Germany, Italy.
Spain, Portugal and the United States.
those from Great Britain have been
even more noticeable.
Within the cylinder of the telephone
is a small dry cell, the whole appa,
ratus Qncluding both receiver and
mouthpiece) being small enough to
go in the pocket. With each instru-
ment is coil of thin copper wire, and
it is reckoned that a soldier could
easily carry 1900 feet of this wire
with him.
The uses suggested for the portable
telephone are innumerable, military
considerations being kept specially TO
the front. Outposts, it is declared;
could by its aid keep in constant com.
munication with the main force, and il
is pointed out that it would furnish
a valuable means of keeping in touch
with the headquarters for police and
fire brigades. For use between rail

engineers at work underground or on
great public works, for steamers. for
cyclists and in many other fields il
