Makes Burglar Fire
Blanks at Himself

Reasoning that the easiest way to
dispose of burglar is to scare him
with the thing he most fears, and that
is a pistol, Il Chicago man, II. G. May
berry, has devised an apparatus
which will fire off cartridges and do
the soaring automatically at the very
moment the burglar begins work
The burglar unwittingly sets off the
contrivance himself and does his own
frightening, as it were, according to
an article in the Popular Science
Monthly for June. This is accom-
plished through the aid of numerous
push buttons or other switches, locat-
ed at points along the path a burglar
must pursue in entering a building.
Thus, the raising of a window will
close one of the switches and cause
the contrivance to operate. If, once
inside, the burglar should stumble
over a string stretched across his path
or step on a loose board. a fusillade
will surely greet him. AS soon as he
operates one of the numerous switch
es, his presence is promptly herald

ExILRs TO BE HELD ny RUSSIA
DESPITE EFFORTS or UNITED
sTATEs-GERMANY SOUGHT
THEIR RELEASE BEFORE
CHRISTMAS

Washington, November 30-It was
learned today that the United States
has failed in recent negotiations with
Russia to induce the Petrograd Gov
eminent to consent to the return Of
Of some 10000 Germans deported from
East Prussia to their country before
Christmas.
The, State Department conducted the
negotiations i'm Germanys behalf, no
representations, It is understood, hav-
ing been made in the name of the
United States. The Germans, consist
ing of women. children and old men,
many over 80, and none of military
age, were deported from East Prus-
STA in 1914 when Russian armies over
ran part of East Prussia.
These Germans, II was said, have
been distributed in several parts of
Russia-some in the Russian Caucasus
some in Turkestan and some in 81
IBERIA. They have not been placed in
concentration camps, as Germany
would have preferred, and the expense
of their maintenance has fallen upon
the German Government.
Russia, while indicating that these
forced exiles may be returned to
Germany. has not given any assurance
as to the time, and it is understood
that many of them have died from
want and exposure.
An effort has also been made to Sc
cure the return to Austria-Hungary of
a large number of its subjects who
were deported from Galicia when the
Russian forces occupied a part of that
crown land. The expense of main
tenance of these people falls upon the
Vienna Government.

THE X-RAY rs ECLIPSED

The British Medical Journal an
nounces that remarkable scientific
discovery is now on trial at one of the
casualty clearing stations in France.
The inventor is James Shearer. a
Scotchman, 20 years old, a Sergeant in
the medical corps and working at the
casualty clearing station.
The new discovery, the Journal says
appears to succeed just where X-Ray
photography fails. 1t produces pictures
of structures hidden far below the sur
face of the body just at the point
where X-ray photography ceases to
perform effectively. In other words,
the new work attempts a delineation,
not ofdensies structures such as bones,
but of living soft organs.
BY means of this discovery it is pos
sible in broad daylight to obtain de-
tailed pictures of any organ or body,
brain, liver, kidneys and spleen, and
10 see at glance by what gross le-
sions they are blood vessels in the
brain, to observe a blood clot on that
organ, to detect assesses in the liver
and wounds or cuts in any organ. In
one case a convection in the appendix
was seen clearly when the picture was
complete.
The actual finished photos are de-
markable and show blood vessels in
the brain in detail, also wounds, but
not the actual brain substance. In
other words, differences, such as dis
eased areas, are shown.
The apparatus works as long as the
body is alive, and even until molecular
death has occurred. After that 1t does
