LIGHT IN SURGERY.
x-Rays and FinseD Lamps in Big
London Hospital.

LOnoOn nOSpltal.
In view of the increasing number
of the applications of the X-rays and
of intense lights in the diagnosis OF
treatment of various medical and
surgical affections, the authoritie.
of the Middlesex hospital, London,
at the beginning of the present year
established a complete installation OF
apparatus for the purpose Of placing
these methods at the disposal Of he
staff The time which has since
elapsed, short, as it is, says The BOs-
ton Transcript, has nevertheless been
sufficient to justify the wisdom Of
the course which has been pursued
The installation has been set up in
a detached building Of a temporary
character, erected in the forecourt Of
the hospital, and it is supplied from
the street with a 20O-volt continuous
current. which is divided for use be.
tween two circuits OF 100 volts each
There is a special testing board
giving either lCO-ynlt OF 20O-yolt
currents, and provided with suitable
measuring Instruments For high
frequency treatment there is motor
transformer, and also a high fre-
quency apparatus with Solcnoid and
Oudin's reSonator to woyl, With a
coil. Two Finsen lamps (Sequeira,
modification and Leslie hiiller's ul.

for the treatment Of lupus, and ex-
pcriments are being made in lhe >amc

of great surgical Importance, and
one which the medical officer in
charge Of the department has greatly
simpIifed and improved
The results obtained in cases of
lupus have already been extremely
satisfactory. The disease is, in fact,
tuberculosis of the skin, and it has
long been known that sunlight is

The effects of the X-rays in cancer
are very interesting and remarkable,

STAGE MECHANISM.
How Realistic Effects Are Pro-
duced in Chariot Race.
etc.

Much interest has been manifest
ed concerping the mechanical meth
DDS OF the thrilling chariot race
employed in Klaw g. ErlaDger S
stupendous production of Gen. Wal
lace's famous religious spectacle
"Ben Hur, which is to be present
ed at the Vendome Theater, Nash
willie, FEB. 8 to 13, with special mat
inees on Wednesday and Saturday.
To this great arenic contest the
the spectator sees eight horses gal.
loplng at breaknecK speed and
straining every muscle to gain the
advantage IN the race within the
amphitheatre. Behind each quar-
tet of horses is a Roman chariot.
The wheels revolve rapidly; the
chariots lurch and sway and the
flaming beribboned garments of the
drivers Autter behind them, adding
intensity to the realism OF the scene.
The Illusion is still further in
creased as the interior wall of the
amphitheatre moves along and the
dust flies in binding clouds be
meath the crushing wheels of the
charIotts. The clatter of the rush
ing boots of the horses and the rum
BILE of the chariots arc distinctly
heard.
Elaborate mechanism and appli
cation ct electricity produce this
great effect. The mechanism of the
two great cradles, twenty feet in
length aud fourteen feet wide, and
which are movable back and forth
on railways, is supported by
bridge structure capable OF holding
twenty tons. The tops of the era
dies are two inches above the level
Of !. TIE stage. Each cradle
bears the four horses and the
chariot of each contestant. On
each cradle there are four run
ways and treadmills of hickory
stats two inches wide and covered
with rubber; they are twelve feet
long and two and half feet wide,
On each of these treadmllls a horse
is secured by steel cable traces
which hold him in place and pre-
vent him from moving forward off
the runways. AS each horse gall
lops, the treadmill revolves under
his feet. thereby eliminating the
forward pressure created by the i'm
pact of his hoofs which would force
nim ahead on an immovable sur
face. BY this mechanical arrange
ment it is possible for the horses
actually to gallop with all their
speed within the space of theiI own
length. 1t is considered the most
realistic effect ever seen upon the
stage.
When "Ben-Hur" was presented
in London, at the Drury Lane
Theatre, the present King of Eng
lang witnessed 1t twice and then
commanded a royal box to be built
in the center of the pit of the thea
tire, so that he could thoroughly en-
| Joy this great race scene.

POLITICAL.

Committeeman Thayer, of the sixth
district, told a good story on him
self yesterday. He stated that be-
fore the convention that dominated
him at Connersville he was fold that
one county Of his district had two
factions, one for him and one against.
For this reason he hesitated about
entering the county, and did not do
so before the county convention that
nominated delegates to the district
convention was held After the coun-
ty convention was held, a represen-
tative of one faction wrote to Thayer
and told him that he was sure of at
least one-half of the votes from that
county At the same time Thayer
received a telegram from a represen-
tative of the other faction telling
him that he would receive the solid
vote of the delegation from the coun-
ty. The two factions had been fight
ing each other tooth and nail only
to make the discovery after their
convention that they were both for
the same man. indianapolis Jour

A Mean Trick.

A lawyer defending n promissory
note went to lunch, leaving his books
and citations on the table in the court
room. The opposing counsel sneaked
back into the room and changed the
places of all his bookmarks. In the
afternoon the lawyer, taking up his
books, referred the court to his author
tiles. His lordship noted every volume
and page carefully and took the case
under consideration. In rendering his
opinion be said:
81 was inclined after hearing argu-
ment of counsel for defendant to non
suit plaintiff, but | find, after referring
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
none of them bear on this case and
am led to think that the gentleman has
been willfully trying TO insult the
court He has referred me to an ac-
ton of an Irishman who sued the pro-
prietor of a monkey for damages for
biting him, to q case of arson, one of
burglary, two of petty larceny and
three divorce cases, none of which
bears on an action to recover on a
promissory note. Perhaps the grossest
insult to the court is referring to
Duckworth versus Boozyman,' an ac-
ton charging defendant with breach
of promise Judgment for plaintiff
with COSTS
The lawyer never knew what the
matter was and to this day thinks the
judge was out of his mind.-Pearson' S

CIVIC

erican League for Civic Improve

With all the foregoing, widespread
an genuine interest in more beau
tiful Richmond; with doubtless much
more that the writer does not know
about; and, in the face of the many
natural beauties of the town s situa-
ton which mutely appeal for reser-
walton, and, in the face of abiding,
humiliating blunders, one would won
der why conditions remain year after
year the same. Tt is surely not
knowledge, or interest or enthusiasm
that we need; for adj of these we have
in a good measure. What we do need
is only too evident. It is the glory
of this wonderful democracy in
which we are privileged to live, that
when enough people want better
way, and want it "all-together," they
can have it. What we need, then, is
cooperative effort among all the peo-
pie who are willing to work, for the
Identification of Richomnd and the
higher life' of her citizens.
A willingness to work together, to
cooperate for the common good has
made possible much excellent better
ment work in other towns. 1t will
come about here. Human nature IS
much the same with US as it is else
where We are not without our num-
Der of unselfsh, devoted people.
/ understand there are already
plans maturing to bring together all
interested people for the purpose of
organizing a civic improvement so

sible beginning for work and the sur
est hope for the future city beauti-
full. Yours sincerely,

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Of DR.. Jacob Riis and His Lee
lures.


The Methodist church of Tilton, n.
H, was crowded tonight by an au-
dience that was fairly enraptured of
Jacob Riis' story of HTony's Hard
ships.o This famous New Yorker,
whom President Roosevelt termed the
most useful citizen in New York, was
engaged last spring for the Tilton
and Mortified Woman's club to give
one of his lectures, and not only the
club members but citizens of the en-
community and surrounding towns
had for weeks been eagerly awaiting
tonight's lecture. Delegations were
present from Franklin, Laconia, Lake
port, Ashland, Meredith and other
places, and all felt repaid for COM
ing Manchester IN. H. Union.
An audience large and distinctly
fashionable heard Jacob Riis tell

at the Peoples church. A man of
medium height and of middle age is

his near-sighted but quick-glancing
