say, Serves him right! He ought to
get married and let his wife do the
mending." But how about the woman
when she has to do this work? OF
course, she is more experienced by

her needle more deity and perform

she will sometimes break needles in
striving to work them through an ex-
tremely hard piece of cloth. Some
one may say that here is where the

man does not know how to use that
device, any way. But, even with the
aid OF the thimble to force the needle
through as far as possible, it is more

ter Ocean: Fred Grabby, aged g. died
at Strand, Kan, last week. Grabby
made himself famous by scalping 10
Indians in one bunch IA years ago. He
was travelling through Oklahoma with
his family. Thirteen young Indians
came upon him and demanded his
scalp. He fed to the wagon and OBJ
tanned lasso. This he threw around
five Indians and bound them together,
while his wife held the others at bay
with rifle. After he had killed and
scalped the five he killed the other
eight. Such feat was never before or
since heard of. To commemorate the
deed Grabby settled on the spot where
he killed the Indians.

early on the fourth morning, and wa.
still more uneasy at hearing that there
was no news Of the steamer. HE
haunted the quay all the next day,
rather to the detriment of his work,
and at night he could not sleep.
Thoughts Of Veronica's fears and suf-
ferings obtruded themselves. He
blamed himself for leaving her, for
not having returned to fetch her, al
though he could not we'll have left.
She had always hated the water and
feared it, and he had loved 1t. The
next day he was down at the quay
again, trying to get some information
about the steamer. In little while
not he alone, but the owners Of. the
boat, began to get frightened. They
could get no news. No other boat
seemed to have seen anything Of her.
BY and by there were stories Of some
OF the wreckage of a steamer sbeing
washed ashore, and at the end of q
fortnight the haggard man who spent
his days at the quay looking QUE for
the boat which would never return to
the town had to give up all hope. The
steamer had assuredly gone down, and
all hands with 1t; and Veronica, his
wife, was lost with the others!
And so ended this brief little episode.
Alan had been very happy with his
gentle wife. and South America was
loathsome to him now. He began to
long, with longing that had been
stifled during his brief married life by
the drawing out of other parts of his
nature, for England and things Eng
fish. The white, clear moonlight, the
scent of the tropical flowers, the soft.
dark eyes and liquid accents of the
Spanish women, the songs they sang,
the very guitars they played, remind
ed him of his poor Veronica, now ly-
ing fathoms deep under the restless
sea.
But as she had never stirred the
passionate depth of his nature, SO her
death never drew out passionate grief
He felt lonely, that was all; and the
glowing land, where everything was 50
OCouIlLul dAu ycI SSS1lcU 81 Opucm-
eral, became distasteful to him, so he
gladly accepted Richard Dempster's
offer to manage the export part of his
business in London, and to return to
English shores.
In short time his South American
experiences almost faded out of his
mind. Veronica became sweet mem
ory to him, which moonlight nights
freshened. He was very successful in
his work. and in four years time had
gained good position for himself. He
was ambitious, too, and began reading
for the bar, which he found he could
do together with his work for the firm.
And four years after he left South
America saw him respected and much

Doubt YaIue 81 "N-Rays..,,,,

\
The existence Of the rays discov-
cred by Blondlot, Of Paris, and named
by him "n-rays," about which much
has been written lately, Is seriously
questioned by an eminent German
physicist, who thinks M. Blondlot has
suffered from optical illusions, owing
to the fact that in manipulating the
screens the experimenter turns aside
and this causes an apparent increase
in the light on the test object. John,
Butler Burke, who is one of the wide
ly known English observers who has
been unable to produce those rays.
says: II am at a loss to fir.l any
other explanation of M. Blondlot's re-
suits than that he has come across a
radiation to which some men are
blind. Self-hypnotism, due to fatigue
CT the optic nerve, may account for
the results of one observer alone"
The fact that M. Blondlot has, in in.
struments of precision. measured the
wave length of these rays would seem
to be conclusive evidence of their ex.
istence. And, too, Carpenter has,
by passing these rays through the
brain, produced perception of light
which changed the size of the pupils

Value of Radium in Cancer.


In the London Electrician there is
printed an article in which the author
states that while it is not yet possible
to speak with certainty as to the
exact therapeutic value of radium, yet
he is confident that by it's means it is
possible to modify profoundly and in
some cases apparently to cure surface
rodent ulcers and epitheliomata. The
method of application is to enclose
the radium in small India rubber
capsule with mica window or in a
small glass tube. The radium is used
most conveniently in the form of the
bromide, and should be Of good quail.

sale must be placed directly in con-
tact with the ulcerating surface. It
apparently is Of no use If applied to
the unbroken skin surface. The &C.
tion Of the radium is strongest at the
immediate point of contact, and les

lance from that point of contact.
