x-RAY USED AS DETECTIVE.
SmuggIers Exposed in French Custom
Houses to Their CONSERVATION.

Minneapolis, Minn.-The French
government has employed the ROent-
gen ray in a peculiar and certainly
novel way. II is subjecting persons
who pass through its custom houses
to the X-ray in order to determine
whether they are smuggling articles
upon which they should pay duty. In
one trial mentioned 167 persons were
examined in 45 minutes and on them
were found jewels and merchandise
hidden for the experiment. A small
jeweled locket was revealed under a
young mans tongue. Several watch
chains were found in the coils of a
woman's hair Card cases spread out
fat under the feet in the shoes were
revealed. Articles wrapped in many
thicknesses of paper and wooden fab
rics were discovered, and the account
of this trial says these articles instead
of being successfully hidden might as
well in nearly every case have shout
ed out their existence and declared
themselves on manifest.
What fine thing it would be if the
Roentgen ray could be successfully
applied to proposed legislation and to
legislators if it could be made to re-
veal the presence of the little joker in
the bill and the consideration lodged
in the pocket of the legislator to in
duce him to pursue a certain course
of action! The X-ray of publicity is
all right when properly applied. but
it has not yet been developed to as
high degree of efficiency as the inter
esting scientific principle of the
Roentgen raY.

OF the worst floods In it's history. There
the water is higher than has been

Of water are pouring through an i'm

through and around the town to the

Southern Pacific embankment and over
its top and into the northern part OF
the town.
AS the water continued TO pour

to disappear. These are all located TO

The breaks in the embankment to
the west of Washington are perhaps
the worst difficulty with which the
railroad has to contend. Water is
