What Is Rest d?

It is strange how people differ in
their ideas as to what rest really
means. According to accepted author
ity the definition of the word it: "a
state of quiet or repOse; cessation
from motion or labor; freedom from
everything which wearies or disturbs.
ETC., etc." but as is the case with
nearly every subject that is worth dis
cussing each individual mind places
its own Interpretation upon the def
milton. What means rest to some per
sons brings no refreshment to others,
and it must be admitted, we suppose,
that each person is the best judge OF
his needs. The most widely accepted
theory of rest is to do absolutely moth
ing, to lie quietly in relaxed posi-
ton, TO lounge about and give ones
self Up to complete repose, to do moth
ing that requires any effort of will or
exertion of body. There are times
when such absolute relaxation is nee
essary for the rehabilition of nature,
when mind and body worn and tagged

the limits of endurance and crave

Roentgen Rays Wagons for Army.

~"sSS'' 'soyo vvoSVhS sOS S5S"ys
Field Roentgen rays wagons are the
latest addition to the medical equip
ment of the Austro-Hungarian army.
Careful experiments carried on since
last February have demonstrated the
practicability and value of such wag-
ons under all kinds of conditions.
1t has been found possible to get
the apparatus at work in seven min
utes. Any sort of electric current in
the neighborhCod can be employed.
and, failing such. the dynamo mount
ed in the wagon and driven by a ben
zine motor can be used
Each wagon carries 12 gallons of
benzine. sufficient for "a hours work.
Besides the photographing apparatus
the wagon carries 504 plates and films
of various kinds, chemicals, dark
room which can be unpacked and put
together in four minutes and all the
necessary tools and other requisites.
In no case less than 10 cases of
the most varied character the field
Roentgen equipment has worked with
out a hitch. The photographs proved
most exact and answered all scientific
demands.

canal is 50 feet wide at the bottom
and SO feet wide at the top. and the
average depth OF the water is ten

drops has been constructed and the
immense body Of water rushing over
them is capable of generating at least
10000 horse power. which will be util-

The cost of the tunnel and distrib-
