Mr.. Holmes, who was coming down
froHk Quartz creek, directed the atten-
tion Of a number Of other men to the

that the station at st. Michael has been

instruments Is little time and prac-
tice.

attempt at communication between the
two stations was made, and since that
time the operators have been endeavor-
ing to transmit messages. Just what
results have been obtained at the st.
Michael station Is. of course. not
known, and t Is possible that they
have been able TO read all sent to them
from this end. Before the close Of nav
igation 1t was agreed between the OPP
orators that as soon as their work OF
installation was completed they would
work Observation-Disclosures the odd
hours Of the day St. Michael endeayors
TO call Safety, and during the even
hours the situation Is reversed.
On number OF occasions the tape in
the Port Safety office has distinctly
recorded the letter "s.' and this has
been repeated so persistentIy that there
is no doubt but that 1t was the ST.
Michael call. From the fact that no
other letter has been received. 1t may
be argued that the signal from the
Safety station has not as yet been

The possibility OF using radium tc

II has been demonstrated that the inn

radioactive water of powerful effect,
Injected into cancers, this water
stopped pain in 10 minutes. Patients
now under the radium water treatment
include one with cancer Of IS years
standing and some Of the ordinary nose
and breast cancers. The 1s-year- old |
cancer has had six weeks of water
treatment, and from the first FIVE min

pain has been almost wholly absent.
In each Of the other cases pains
