The 'salt and pepper effect is
seen in dumdum wounds and those
caused by explosive bullets. In the
first year of the war n great deal was
said about these dumdum spikes OF
metal and patches OF bone and lead.
The possibility of dumdum bullets and
explosive bullets Is not without inter-
est. but a greater experience has shown
that the regular rifle bullet may cause
effects of an explosive character.
The velocity of the bullet Ii the real
factor. In the pictures here given one
shows what little damage a modern
bullet may cause II It enter a large
muscle and stop. The %cleanest wounds
are made by bullets travelling at high
velocity. In n case the bullet passed
clean through the bone. causing no
splinter that was visible on tho radio
graph.

be made, but I'm the field hospitals
many surgeons simply look at the
negatives and generally when they
are wet. This practice saves time. and
all that Is necessary for a positive
picture is a viewing or illuminating
box. in which the plate Is fixed and
lighted from behind.
In some of these pictures the sur
geon aims at giving a history OF the
wound. the entrance of the bullet. its
winnings. r%etardations and exit. In

through; hut these things are more
curious than valuable.
In the last year tho new school Of
N-ray' photographers at the front use
paper instead of plates. They are
thus enabled TO show the surgeon an
N-ray photograph one minute after
exposure, Tho films are developed at
once and are ready for inspection an
hour later. A Canadian unit reports
that these are most useful in the rush
OF n time whom battles take place al
mos daily. But probably the old
school has nothing to complain OF. A
good negative gained by exposure
with the aid of an intensifying screen
Is as near perfection as any one is
ever likely TO reach.

means of generating the rays that we
have. At present the dangers are bet
ter understood and accidents are not
SO common.
1t Is now known how the rays are
produced. They consist OF exceedingly
small particles, having an electric
charge. When We give a high velocity
to these electrons, as they are called,
by mean Of an electric field in n
vacuum tube and they are stopped by
a solid target OF tungsten the sudden
change In velocity gives us the X-ray

with private gain in m
From the point Of view Of the Eng
llsh nation as a whole a victorious
people has no economic advantage
whatsoever In leaving the vanQuished
wealth. There Is every advantage in
leaving the vanquished laborlous and
productive Of wealth: but the whole
effort OF the victor should be turned
to the draining of that wealth, once
produced, away from the vanquished
and toward themselves.
Thus to exclude the goods Of a con-
quered Germany from the British Isles
Is the act Of an idiot. To permit a
conquered Germany to build up new
wealth wherewith to attack again is
the act OF a traitor. Yet these two
policies alone are suggested by the stu
p!d and the more intelligent sections Of
the English plutocracy irrespectively.
There Is but one obvious public pol
icy-the maintenance OF u continual
drain OF wealth from "A Germany con-
quered and compelled to export to our
advantage. 1t is a policy the victor
can impose most simply by lifelong in
demnity, most drastically by the con

TO refund the purchase price TO any dis
satisfied purchaser, not one jar has been
