Prote ction for X-Ray Operators,

Mrs. e. Fleischman-Aschbem OIL
San Francisco is said to be the first
photographer to use a glass screen IL
X-ray practice. She says a double
plate glass screen is the most serv
iceable device for preventing injury
to the operator and that 1t can be APP
piled equally to radioth erapy and radi
ography. After some experimenting
she ordered the construction after her
own plans of vertical plate glass
screen, 2 feet In width and reaching
to height Of five and one-half feet
from the floor. During the last four
months the screen has been in con.
slant use in her laboratory. While
operating she keeps 1t between her
body and the tube whenever 1t is pos
sible, her exposed hand being pro
tected by the usual rubber glove. She
has found that the heavy plate glass
screen possesses all of the advantages
Of lead plates in preventing the pass
age of the rays, with the important
addition of permitting an unobstructed
view Of the subject and Of the X-ray
tube in order to judge Of the intensity
of the ray. Glass is Opaque to the
X-rays in greater or less degree &C
cording to its thickness. Lead, alum.
inium. iron and copper resist the rays
to great extent Even the clothing
has slight protective effect.

The measurement of dew has always
been difficult because Of the fact thai
no method heretofore has given exact
results. In Das Wetter M. Ferb de
scribes new sort Of drosometer
which has given satisfactory results
and which is composed Of a piece OF
paper which has been put through 9
special preparation and dipped in q
chemical solution. This paper is ex'
posed in a box placed during the night
on the ground. the quantity of dew be
ing indicated by the dlscolofation OF
the paper. A scale Of tints is deter.
mined experimentally, which is used
for the purpose of comparison, there
being further used three sorts of pa
per, the first for small quantities of
dew, the second for large quantities.
and the third for very heavy dews.

Automatic Pump of Great Power.

N Automatic Pump of Great Power.
c. A. Arnsberger, an engineer OF
Rudy, Idaho, has just received pat
ent letters for an invention that he
has been working on for years, and
which promises to revolutionise Ger
tain features of mining and irrigating
operations. 1t consists of an auto
matte quadruple action force pump
that increases the outflow of water
by four times that of the ordinary
force pump requiring the same motive
power.
Some Of the great advantages
Claimed for this pump are that 1t can
be operated at any speed; that it can
be made up in any size; that it works
on a central pivot and is at all times
on an even balance regardless of the
depth of the we'll or the volume of
water being raised. There is no lost
motion. It throws just as much water
when the lever is going up as it does
when it is going down. 1t is able to
raise water at great height without
much additional power, for the reason
that it both pushes and pulls at the
column of water. 1t can be adapted

exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from fifty-five to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good and the
price is ranging around one dollar
per bushel" H
Frank H. Spearman, in the Satur-
day Evening Post, says:
when our first transcontinenfal
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isotherman demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north of where the line
was projected but the real granary
of the world lies up to 300 miles north
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors of Canada for it's bread. Rail-
road men see such day; it may be
hoped that statesmen also will see 1t,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to a degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.
Despite the fact that for years little
Dakota station on the st. Paul road
Eureka-held the distinction o. u---s
the largest primary grain market in
the world, the Dakotas and Minnesota
will one day yield their palm to Sas-
katchewan."
