touched her large and fashionable sleeve
and said, sweetly: why do you wrap so

The great difficulty is to draw the line

Man spending half his waking hours upon

TREATMENT OF CANCER.
Results by Surgery and by Roentgen
RAYS.

Berlin Correspondence OF the London Standard.
In todays sitting of the archaeological
congress in Berlin the subject of the
treatment of cancer was discussed with
much animation. Prof. Won Petersen
spoke on the subject of on-surgical
treatment of epithelioma, and came to the
following conclusions: % That epithe-
Iona is durable without operation only
in its initial stage; CD that the best
results are obtained by 'Finsenlicht." in
asmuch as this treatment has no deleter-
ious effects Unfortunately, it is very ex-
pensive; 90 that Roentgen rays are often
productive of good results, but they must
be employed with great caution; Cd rad
ium rays give positive results, but are ac-
companied by dangers stifl greater than
those arising from the use of Roentgen
rays; CD small surface epithelioma can
be healed by continued bandaging with a
solution of from to Is per cent of soda
Prof. Won Bergman then spoke He
maintained that every kind of epithelioma
can be permanently healed by means Of
surgery, whereas only a portion of the
cases are healed by treatment by light
He admitted that when severe complica-
tions already existed the surgeon could
not cure the patient. But in those cases
the Roentgen rays also failed. Hitherto
he said, no cancer which has proved i'm
possible to operate for had been healed
by the Roentgen rays. 1t was true that in
perfectly hopeless cases the pain of the
patients could be alleviated by Roentgen
and radium rays, but this simply meant
the prolongation of the life of the patient
and not his cure.
DIR. Leredde of Paris, who followed, ex-
planned that a clever doctor could always
avoid causing harmful effects when using
radium in cases of cancer. He had he
said, registered good results from the use
of radium.
The president in addressing the meet
ing pointed out that careful distinction
must be drawn between the different
kinds of epithelioma. Deep-rooted cancer.
he thought, ought to be operated upon
Immediately if an operation were posi-
BILE, but superficial epithelioma should be
treated by Roentgen rays
The results of the sitting seem, then. to
be as sketched by the president. 1t was
admitted that the cause of cancer is still

To Explore the Earth's Interior.

From Harper's Weekly.
An interesting discussion of the means to
be employed in carrying on scientific ex-
ploration of the interior of the earth was
given by Charles A. Parsons, the inventor
OF the steam turbine, in a recent address be-
fore the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science. At present the earth
is penetrated by shafts or bore hole to a
point slightly in excess of a mile, and save
for the increase of temperature with depth
but little is known of its interior condition
BY sinking shaft to great depth not only
would vast scientific knowledge be gained,
but also there would be the possibility of
discovering mineral conditions of econom' q
Importance. Mr.. Parsons believes that sink
ing such shaft would not be an impossible
engineering accomplishment and he has
computed the approximate cost. length Of
time required and the temperature of the
rock likely to be encountered as follows:

Automobiles in England.

From the Saturday Review.
We may take 1896 as the year when motor
cars began to be common. But up to the
end of last year not more than 1900 self
propelled vehicles had been registered.
Since the bill came into operation on jan
uary 1 the number has increased to over
10000. The total number of motor cycles
has actually been tripled in the last seven
nc nths. Probably the number of motor
cycles is even greater than appears. as 1t
is "a not uncommon practice for owners OF
cycles to take out a car license, which costs
the same as a cycle license and includes
the right to ride the smaller machine.

Markets Beyond the Seas.
From Leslie's Weekly.


An importing firm of Bombay recently
ordered a large lot of mangles and other
implements for laundering. British India,
with its 30O,O00,0Oo people, might become a
good market for cheap machines for wash
ing and laundering purposes. The French
consul at Havana calls the attention of
French manufacturers to the growing de-
mand for patent medicines in Cuba, where
physicians are scarce. He says that of the
$4,000 worth of patent medicines i'm
ported by Cuba during the fiscal year
1904. France furnished SOL 500 worth.
Our patent-medicine manufacturers ought
to act upon this information. New South
Wales and Victoria. Australia, contemplate
the substitution of electric for steam power
on their railroads. They will initiate this
change on some Of the suburban lines be-
fore extending 1t to trunk lines. American
electric construction companies should be
early in the field to study this subject, SO
as to be ready to submit proposals for car
rying out the project.

The Revolving House Again.

from the LHncet.
Two French gentlemen-Dr. Pellegrin and
M. E. Petit, an architect of Paris-have de-
signed method of erecting houses on ro-
tating platforms. SO that the building can
be made to face in any required direction
at any time. The platform is supported
on two concentric walls, the inner chamber
to be made containing a stairway, and the
axis Of rotation Is occupied by q shaft
through which pass the supply and waste
pipes of the house A gas or petrol engine
is employed to move the platform, and II
necessary 1t can be used to drive clockwork
which will enable the house front to follow
the sun during the day.

The plan would be to sink the shaft in
some place free from water-bearing strata,
providing stages at intervals of half mile,
at each of which would be placed the ma
chinery for working the section below, in
GLIDING the necessary refrigerating appa-
ratus to reduce the temperature. There
would also be required at intervals Of two
or three nailes air locks, as the pressure
would increase greatly as the deeper the
shaft penetrated. To bore to great depths
the freezing process would have to be en-
ployed, and number of bore holes sunk In
a circle around the shaft proper, so that by
means of brine the rock, sand and water
could be frozen and then excavated.
