when the opportunity for filling it oc-
cursi the task is almost sure to soil the
hands at least, to say nothing OF the
carpet, tablecloth or whatever happens
to repose beneath the spot where the
pen is being filled. Possibly the ''self
filing pens will obviate this trouble in
doing away with the glass and rubber
filters which have been used since the
pen came into general use, but they
necessitate dipping the lower end Of the
fountain feed into the ink bottle and
must necessarily be cleaned after fill
ing. &.
A western inventor has designed
filing device which still utilizes the
bottle Of ink, but which offers little op-
portunity for spilling the liquid during
the operation. This arrangement con-
sists5 Of a rubber bulb of Slightly elon-
gated shape, open at both ends and de-
signed to connect the bottle directly
with the reservoir of the pen. The lar
ger opening of the bulb is forced over
the neck of the bottle, and after the
ben has been pressed into the smaller
briflce the bottle is inverted, and the
Ink is allowed to flow into the reservoir
rs the air rises through the liquid, this
process being aided by the contraction
and expansion Of the bulb in the hand

CURE CANCER BY FREEZING

Successful Use of Liquid Oxygen In
Connection With Finsen Rays.
New York cancer experts are deeply
interested in a case Of epithelioma OF
the tongue which is apparently nearing
a complete cure in New York city un-
der an alternative treatment of liquid
oxygen and the Finsen light.
Experiments in the treatment Of be-
nign and malignant growths with liq-
uid oxygen have been carried Oh for
some time at the Vanderbilt clinic and
the New York hospital, but this is said
to be the first case on record there
where that treatment has been conl-
bined with the application of the ultra
violet rays of the Finsen tube.
The patient is a wealthy citizen of
Baltimore. Eminent surgeons We're con-
suited, and they said the operative
stage Of the disease had passed.
AS last resort the man went to New
York and put himself under the care Of
DR.. A. G. White, who resolved on heroic
measures. The mans tongue was bound
down by the growth so that he could
not talk and was able to take almost no
food except milk.
A piece of absorbent cottcn was
soaked in liquid oxygen. which is 200
degrees colder than ordinary air, and
was applied for a. few seconds to the
literally frozen.
The tongue was allowed to regain it's
| normal temperature, and the liquid
| oxygen was reapplied, and so on, with
alternate freezings and thawings, four
or five times in ALL within period of
five minutes. This treatment was re-
peated on three days in succession.
Then for two. days in succession the
Finsen light was applied to the tongue
l. through a long tube terminating in a
vacuum bulb. This light, which is
| very pale blue violet in color, seems to
be attracted to the living tissues, for
when the end of the tube is held to the
skin the Finsen rays fare through it
like serpent's tongue. They touch
the skin without producing any sensa-
ton.
! Dr. White declined to talk of the
case further than to admit that it was
under his care and to say that cure
was apparently being effected. "Al'
though the nerves Of the tongue" he
said, "are temporarily paralyzed by
the freezing effects Of the liquid oxy
gen, the patient can now lift the
tongue to the roof Of the mouth and
take solid food. The growth is killed
and look for no recurrence"

Dec, Is, 1929, coming to America in

tentatious in his benevolence, yet many
homes found him friend in their
