 At the recent Roentgen congress in Berlin a special committee adopted the following terminology for the new science: Rontgenology is the study of Rontgen rays; Rontenography is pho- tography by the rays; Ront genoscopy is observation by Rontgen rays; ortho- rontgenogTaphy in place of orthodia- graphy. Rontgonotherapy and the verb to rontgenize in their obvious mean ings.

Kindness to Horses.

ODD FACTS ABOUT GOLD.

Few people know the real color of gold, because it is seldom seen ex- cept when heavily alloyed, which makes 1t much redder than when it is pure.
 The purest coins ever made were the $50 pieces which once were Tn common use in California. Their coinage was abandoned because the loss by abrasion was so great and be. cause their interior could be bored out and filled with lead. They were oc. tagonal in shape, and were the most valuable coins ever minted and cir culated.
 All gold is not alike when refined. Australian gold is distinctly redder than that taken in California. More. over placer gold Is more yellow than that which is taken rfoa quartz. This Is one of the mysteries of metallurgy. because the gold in placers comes from that which is in quartz. The gold in the Ural mountains is the red dest in the world.

Brutality in Feotball.

BlGtaAtN lA ECOIudil.
 Most persons who have learned that the president of the United States has exercised his influence to put an end to brutality in the game of football will infer that the sport has sunk 10 a sad condition. IL is possible. however. re marks the New York sun that the presidents action may somewhat be fog the real issue in the case. What most observers regard as brutality in football is just the thing which can not be elimina ed. while that which might be and assmedly ought to be abolished by the application of the most stringent rules is seldom noted by ordinary spectators, is winked at by the field officials and is generally esteemed by college opinion as yenial. The game Of football cannot be played without great roughness Four men. one of them carrying the ball hurl themselves at top speed against d line of opposing play Their formation Is such that he. strike like a batter ing ram against the person of a single man in the opposing line. The pur- pose is to knock him over and go past him so as to advance the ball an ap- preciable distance. That the rush line players of the side having the ball en- deayor to push the men of the oppos- ing rush lne aside, and thus make an opening for the runner. does not ohlit- crate the fact that some one gets hit. and hi, hard. by he human projectile Often one is temporarily knocked out He lies unconscious or WfIthing on the gridiron. The public mutters
 brutali y. and 10 the casual observer that is what t looks like Again the man carrying the ball gets away for a long run. \ player Of the opposing side tackles and throws him. Ere quently one or both of them is knocked senSeless by the tackle That is an other exhibition of what is generally condemned as brutality. But with out these features football cannot be played They are Fart and parcel of the game IL would hardly be going too far 10 say that they are the game They are not brutal. The men who are thus battered and thrown are trained 10 such work, and statistics show that hey seldom suffer perma- nent CT serious injury. The players badly hurt on the football field are nearly always either unskilled or phys ieally unfit. On the other hand the game Of football IS marred by such un manly practices as intentional tram ping on hands and feet. humping the center rush under the chin with a wig orous knee prodding opponents with elbows, and other unfair tricks. all in tended to disable some good player and get him off the field and get some in- ferior man substituted for him. Col iege men know that these things are done, and instead of crushing them un- der the irresistible weight of con demnatory public opinion, they rass them by with a smile as long as they work for the benefit of our team and help us to beat the other fellows. It is orthodoxy as long as it is our doxy. If President Roosevelt can in duce college men to view this sort Of thing as other people view it, he will be the most potent of all agents in put ting an end to what is the real brutal ity in football

THE SECRET OF YOUTH.

De Soto looked for the secret of youth in a spring of gushing, life giving waters, which he was sure he would find in the New World. Al chemists and sages Ghousands of them). have spent their lives in quest for 1t, but it is only found by those happy people who can digest and as simulate the right food which keeps the physical body perfect that peace and comfort are the sure results.
 \ remarkable man of 94 says: For many lons years suffered more or less with chronic costiyeness and painful indigestion. This condition made life a great burden to me, as you may well imagine.
 Two years ago I began to use Grape-Nuts as foad, and an thankful that l did. It has been Q blessing to me in every way. I first noticed that 1t had restored my digestion This was a great gain but was nothing to compara in Importance with tho fact that In short time my bowels were restored to free and normal action.
 The cure seemed 10 be complete; for two years I have had none of the old trouble use the Grape.Nuts food every morning for breakfast and ire. quently eat nothing else.

prayed on the tracks of an elevated
