 WITH YORK PUBLIC.

London, March 7.-As result of exces- sve devotion to his profession and zeal, Dr. J. Hall Edwards. a specialist of Bir- mingham, has had his arm amputated. pr. Hall Edwards was England's first spaeal- fst in X-ray operations, and X-ray der matitis is the disease he Is suffering from.
 Hall Edwards became well known through taking a radiograph of the first operations in which Roetgen rays were used He specialized in the rays. operated with them in South Africa during the Boer war and after his return to England began to experiment fin their direct cura- tive effect The mysteri oulsght cured other people, but continual exposure of his arms and hands to it's effects proved baneful to Dr. Edwards.
 He began to suffer from what he de- serlbed as "ever-p present exeruciating pain in the hands X-ray dermatitis con- tinued its course Warts began to appear on his fingers. Gradually they spread out and caused continuous sores. He lost his sleep and spent his nights wandering about his house in dumb torture.
 The pain he described as of neuralgia character, varied with stabs and jumps of such severity as to make him cry out.
 At one time he had on the back of each hand 50 or 60 of these agonizlng wants. No internal medicine had the least alleyi- atng effect. The only remedy was to soften the warts by means of a lead To- tion and opium poultice, and scrape them off with a knife. This painful opera to :, enabled him to use his hands and con- tinue his experiments.
 Dr. Hall Edwards believes that N-ray dermatits is caused by the action of he

In Dr. Edwards case, both arms were affected. After bearing terrible tor ture for years, pr. Edwards was menaced with d worse evil, owing to the setting in of blood poisoning in the left arm Faced with death, the lcientist consented to ann pntaton. and the arm was taken off at the elbow. The right arm is now men aeed.

 One course. for instance deals with the family life of the Romans, and an- other with the home surroundings of the Greeks. In Illustration there are stereopticon lectures bringing graphi- cally before the students eyes the facts of the ancient world as depicted in vase paintings, statuary and in modern pho tographs of famous views. Pictures of present-day happenings have their use fulness too. for however much Italy may have changed in some respects since Caesar crossed the Rubicon many of its physical and ethnic features have persisted. The pastures in which Cory don's sheep nibbled while their master piped verses for the consternation of generations of schoolboys to come are unaltered to this day, and the stereop- ticon gives glimpses of them which make Virgil very real.

 The purpose of a modern American university like Brown is to make in- telligent, clear-sighted and upright American citizens. It is because a knowledge of the classics, derived di- rectly or indirectly, is essential to ef- fective study of the sciences of govern ment and social economies that such stress is laid upon arousing interest in the life and literature of the ancients.
 The working out of this experiment. of combining the traditional academic education with the utilitarian tranlng of today has thus far promised to be successful The head master Of Harrow to the contrary, the experience Of Brown bids fair to show that the dept of moderns to the classics cannot be so easily repudiated.

 About New York weather Mime 1atraz zini writes; The weather changes con tihuously, and the climate is the strangest I have ever experienced"
 ffederlck Hovenden. vice president Of the London institution and a mem- Der of many learned societies, is pre- pafing four lectures entitled "A Study of the Principles of Nature.' in which he diyuiees some startling scientific discoveries, the truth of which he Is prepared to prove by experiment..
 MT. Hovenden declares first that cleo tfie1tN, heat and ether are one and the same fluid, and if illuminated can be made visible to the naked eye
 His second startling statement is that he can take moving pictures of the invisible.
 His theory is that every human be- ing exhales ether or electricity at tho fngertips, and that moving pictures may be taken of this process
 This last assertion, Professor Hoven- den claims to have proved in the fol- lowing way:
 square glass box is filled with cigarette smoke. mixed with ordinary air. The experimenter thrusts a finger through a hole in the bottom of this glass box and turns on a powerful arc lamp. The ether or electricity may in- mediately be seen issuing from the fin ger tips, and of this photographs may be taken. The electricity issues from minute holes on the top of the minute finger ridges which are used for mak- ing impressions in the police system of identification.
 Professor Hovenden adds that the naid seen issuing from the finger tips is electricity. proved beyond dispute by the galvanometer.

 With the light from q dozen lanterns helping them to see where to place joists and how to nail on weatherboards, ten members of the Yecker Avenue Baptist church worked until after Il o'clock last night on their new church building
 The Yecker Avenue Baptist church was organized about three years ago Until recently the congregation worshipped in a small frame building. Additions to the congregatiou made d larger building nee kessary and it was decided to build a \ hurch.
 But the congregation was not wealthy one. and the members felt that they could not give money enough for new build ing Then the Rev. William L.edarms, pastor of the church, had an idea
 We can afford to buy material for a new building and each one of us can give a little of his time in work, MT. Harms said The congregation agreed and the material was bought
 Every day and many nights, under inc direction of some of the members of the congregation who are carpenters the work goes on. Those who cannot work by day give little of their time at night and the women of the church have coffee ready for the men when the work is over.

AMERICAN TEACHERS DON'T AGREE WITH MASTER OF
 HARROW THAT GREEK OUCH TO BE BURED-cLAssIc LIT .s3 FEATURE NOW TAUGHT IN ENGLISH AS AN ExPERl- 9ak UNIVERSITY COURSES IN K TfE DAILY LIVES OF MANS AND ATHENIANs

After this-this is the point of view at Browns which has long been one of the strongholds of classical education in this country-whether a man is go- ing into a literary scientific or commer- cial professionalism practically every pursuit has now become a profession in the true sense-a grounding in what used to be known as the humanities is still pretty nearly necessary. A sh ort time ago the head master of Harrow
 the great English preparatory school that has always been regarded as peculiarly devoted to the classics, came out with the declaration to the effect that the Greek language as 9 subject for study Is out of date in these times
 Yet, such is the belief of many dis tinguished ed American educators, no one has discovered anything that will ex- actly take the place of Greek and Latin as a foundation on which nearly every thing else can be firmly set. Teachers of the classics in this country have

Providence, R. l., February 22.-(Spe- al.)-There is being tried here, at Brown university, an experiment in education that is attracting the inter- ested attention of college and second Rry school teachers everywh ere. Just what 1t is going to prove nobody can quite tell as yet. But there is every indication that it will solve oneSof the difficulties against which the old-fash toned idea of a well cultivated mind" has had to struggle in recent years. It is an attempt to give student who knows neither Greek nor Latin that acquaintance with classics which is still by very many educators considered nec- essary to well rounded education. It is an undertaking that concerns every American community where school board, superintendent and a high school principal have constantly to consider the question of just how much classical instruction may properly be paid for out of the public funds.
