Or. Edwards Seriously Predicts Great
Future for x.Ray and Tells Of

London. DR.. Hall Edwards of Bir-
mingham, who has lost his left arm
and the use of his right hand is eH-
perimenting with the X-ray, described
in a lecture few days ago in mat
ter-of,fact way how he had battled for
secrets which have left him manned,
a martyr to science.
Discussing the dangers of the X
rays, DR.. Edwards said

every good thing can be turned to

harm feel pr, tty sure will not do

Hopes to Interpret Odd Indian
Designs Worked.
New York Woman Is Sent on Long
Visit to Aborgines Of Southwest
by American Museum OF
Natural History.

New York; Miss Mary Lois Kissell,
who started recently for an extended
trip among the Indians OF the south
west, where she will study basketry
on its native heath, is the first woman
ever sent out by the American Mu'
scum of Natural History for purposes
of original research. Hitherto men
only have been employed to penetrate
the wilds and the deserts In its be
half. But now It has come to a crisis
and woman fills the void. The mu-
scum has fine collection of Indian
baskets. They are Of all shapes and
sizes and uses, covered with intricate
designs in significant colors. Some OF
the facts of their construction are
known, but the scientists are aware of
many mysteries which await solution.
Mere man"-eyen a scientific man
cannot get at these secrets. He tries.
and the taciturn old squaw mutters:
ME no know" Mere man discovers
that the Indian woman is bound by
rules of religious observance not to
discuss her work with men. Even the
braves OF the tribe do not know how
the beautiful designs are executed,
and the white man is doubly help
less.
1t is Miss Kissell's enthusiasm, com.
bined with her knowledge of textiles
and handcraft that has won her place
in the museum II is said that she
even lighted a glow of enthusiasm in
the cold scientific souls of European
museum directors. She was abroad
last summer cleaning what she could

In Munich she asked such illuminat

were made that the veteran scientist

old Joy of discovery in his heart
"Who would have thought baskets
meant so much? Wen know more

Feminine scientists, as a class, are
full of enthusiasm, Miss Kissell has
found, and also they sometimes see
things which masculine science over
looks. For instance, ongo eXpedi-
tion brought back a curious little cap
made by some tribes of that region
The minute Miss Kissell saw II she
recognized il as Irish crochet lace,
