NEW METHOD FOR
USING The X RAY
Physician Protected by Being
Separated From Patient by
Bohemian Lead Glass

LONDON March 12.-The final con-
harnessing os them for the treatment of
diseased conditions without danger to
the operator have been brought a de-
cided step nearer by a clever Arrange
ment of apparatus Just installed at the
London hospital. 1t will be>remem-
bered that DR.. Hall Edwards and Harry
Cox suffered serious injuries through
experiments with X-rays.
The initial principle of the apparatus
which was explained to correspon-
dent by Doctor Blackwell, the chief
operator, is that the operator can not
inadvertently come within the range
of the rays.
middle aged woman with a red
and angry lupus scar on her face who
came for treatment afforded a striking
object lesson of the advances in treat
ment by X-rays which have been made
in the last few years.
The patientAlay on leather couch in
!, white painted cubicle, in the front
wall of which were two ordinary glass
windows and a door having two glass
panels. An X-ray tube surrounded by
a shield of Bohemian lead glass (im-
permeable to the rays was arranged
to protect her from the light at every
point except the one where a narrow
shaft of rays could fall directly on the
lupus patch The patient being In po-
sition the operator left the cubicle,
carefully closing the door behind him.
Then, and then only, the current was
turned on.
The ordinary looking partition, with
its commonplace looking glass windows
and door panels, held the key of the
situation. The glass-more than a
quarter of an inch thick-was Bo-
hemian lead glass, and, though per-
fectly transparent, was impervious to
the rays. while the woodwork of both
door and partition was a sandwich of
two layers OF half inch boards inclos-
ing two sheets of~lead and iron, each
an eighth of an inch thick.
I'm testing that glass said Doctor
Blackall, 'it was bombarded by rays
from an X-ray tube held close to it while
a photographic plate was placed on its
other side After an hours exposure
the plate was still unaffected Even
the spark gap (Which warns the opera
tor of any rises in the vacuum of an
active tube) and the mechanism for
lowering the vacuum are controlled
by the operator from his position of
safety outside the light chamber
A further SAFEGUARD is an automatic
switch on the door leading into the
light chamber. If the operator un-
thinkingly attempts to enter while the
light is on, the mere opening of the
door breaks the electric circuit and the
yellow green fiickering Immediately
ceases in the tube.

ABRUzzI SCALES
LOFTY MOUNTAIN
Duke Who Wanted to Marry
American Heiress Climbs
24,3S4 Feet Above Sea

TURIN. Italy, March t2-The duke
ofrthe Abruzzi delivered lecture on
his expedition in the Himalayas at the
vittorio Emmanuele theater here the
other evening. For period of 81 days
the Baltoro glacier-9.S4O feet up. one
of the largest in the world. and about
40 miles long-was the home of the
expedition.
Exploring the slopes of K2 Mount
Goodwin Austen), the duke brought his
camp up TO an altitude of 1880 feet
and thence on June he climbed
hitherto unexpIored peak. 2.1s4 feet
high. 10 which he gave the name OF
Mount Savoia.
On June 26 an attempt was made TO
climb Staircase peak, rapid journey
being made TO the second terrace OF
the ridge, a height of 217S0 feet, but
farther ascent was prevented by enor-
nous crevasses. The first part of July
was spent in exploring Bride peak
Notwithstanding continuous bad
weather, a point 24,3S4 feet high was
attained-an altitude never before ac-
complished by man in mountain climb
in.- The summit. however, only 500 feet
higher up. could not be reached. owing
TO the danger from avalanches, the ice
cornices of the ridge and the weather.
After giving the result of technical
typographical observations (the most
important of which is perhaps the
measurement of Broad peak. which was
found 10 have a height of 27.129 feet
(being thus the second highest in the
Karagoram range). he proceeded TO de-
scribe the climatic conditions OF the
regions.
The party was on the Baltoro glacier
from May is 10 July %, and found June
more windy than July, a mild temper
ature in June. but great heat in July
on sunny days. An absolute absence
of thunder and lightning was observed
on the Baltoro. due perhaps to the lack
of moisture and the peaks acting as
gigantic lightning conductors
1t was observed that the physical
strength OF the climbers, after so days
on the Baltoro glacier. had certainly
diminished. This diminution in strength
the duke attributes to the altitude and
not to the use of timed meat
The difficulties of the Himalayas he
regards as of the same kind as those
of the Alps, though greater in degree.
while the biological and climatic condi-
tions are worse.

In recent interview the assistant

PARTY MAROONED IN
CAVE WITH KEG OF BEER
Explorers Forget Incoming Tide
While Enjoying Beverage

LONDON. March IA party of
Holyhead men who left recently to ex-
piore the Anglesey coast had terrify-
ing experience. In a cave they discov-
cred a barrel OF beer and began to
drink. They were so engrossed that
they did not notice the incoming tide
until their escape was cut off.
They climbed to the highest lodges
inside the cave and waited until the
tide receded. BY that time it was dark,
and any attempt to scramble out and
scale the huge rocks would have been
extremely dangerous.
Benumbed with cold and hungry and
weary. the men had to cling to the
rocks in the cave all night listening to
the weird sounds OF the water at their
feet When daybreak came the. tide
was high, and it was several hours lat
er before they could get out.
