Making a Drawing Table

shown in the sketch. The map or drawing is
inserted in this slot and then back to the
roller. The draftsmans weight is then on
the edge Of the table instead OF on the map
or drawing.
at is advisable TO cover the rollers at both
ends Of the table as the face Of the map or
plan is always out or exposed to the dust
which is likely to accumulate In the w be-
tween roller and paper
"Plans may be kept on rollers which may
be made in such q manner as to be easily
changed, thus reducing the dangers Of having
them crushed.
care should be exercised that the brake is
not set too tight, as continually stretching
the paper particularly in wet weather, de-
streys the scale of the drawing"

DEBATE in the House of Com

LIZ Da III btlC SlONSC VI NSA-
n mons on August IA on the sub
4 - ject Of manipulative surgery has
been followed by an interesting continual
tion in the English magazines. The debate
occurred in connection with an offer Of
H. A. Barker a successful but unprofes-
sional healer Of certain joint troubles, to
devote his services gratuitously for the
relief Of recruits suffering from certain
abnormalities of the joints. These were
particularly, displacements Of the semi
lunar cartilage Of the knee joint, fiat foot,
and some joint disorders in other parts Of
the body.
This debate was described as The out
come of a movement that had been going
on for some months in Parliament which
/ finally took shape in the injured Soldiers
| Committee" society embracing over
three hundred members, all members Of
Parliament. This propaganda had been
carried on for several years in the
press, centring around the work of Bar
ker, who for some thirty years has had

the troubles already mentioned; and its
immediate objective was TO prevail upon
the government to accept the offer of his
services to the Army Medical Council.
But Barker has not enjoyed the advan-
tages of training in medical school, and
accordingly he is not a registered physi-
clan.
Nevertheless, so convinced is he Of the
soundness Of his principles" says j: L.
Walton in "The Contemporary Review"
that he has publicly invited the medical
authorities to appoint a representative
committee to investigate his methods; he
has asked for the privilege Of teaching
mis- system in the medical schools and
now he has offered his valuable services
gratuitously on behalf Of the sailors and
soldiers of the King"
This writer further says that 10000 or
10000 persons have gone to Barker for
treatment during the past twenty years,
mostly after consulting Intellectually the
recognized practitioner, and frequently
after months or years of painful and use
less treatment at the hands Of the great
est surgeons Of the day. Almost without
exception he has been able to afford relief,
and in the vast majority Of cases has eff
fected an instantaneous and permanent
cure"
But Barker's offer was not accepted. In
the debate in Parliament the governments
negative answer was given by the Under
Secretary for War, who said that the gov
eminent could not assume responsibility
in cases where wounded soldiers go 10 IAN
unqualified man" for treatment; he must
do so upon his own responsibility. The
chief speech in behalf of the governments
position was made by Sir Watson Cheyne,
an eminent surgeon. He favored the
House with a general disquisition against
"bone-setters," but finally admitted that
Barker docs some very good work." and
/ he declared that Seeing that it is only
one man who is able TO do these wonderful
/ things, ! think some arrangement might
be made TO put him in a position whereby
/ his services can be obtained" Yet when
/ he came TO the vital point he held back
from recommending any positive action
by the government, lest Eve should upset

Listen, while tell you all from the
beginning! The sirkar sent me to dis
cover what may be this Heart of the
Hills men talk about. l found these
caves-and this! I told the sirkar a
little about the caves, and nothing at
all about the sleepexs. But even at
that they only believed the third of
what l said. And I--back in Delhi I
bought books, When had read enough
i came back here to think. l knew
enough now to be sure that the sleeper
is a Roman and the Heart of the
Hills Grecian maid. She is like me.
That is why l know she drove him
TO make an empire, choosing for be-
ginning these Hills where Rome had
never penetrated. 1 have seen it all in
dreams. And because / was all alone,
saw that l would need skill and much
patience. So began to learn.
"Times I would go to Delhi and
dance there a little, and a little in
other placeS-once indeed before a
vicerOy, and once for the king of Eng
land. And all the while kept look
ing for the mantle man who should
be like the sleeper, even as l am like
her whom he loved! There was none

thought at last that l must manage
all alone. And then you came!
"But there were many tried-many
especially after I abandoned the
thought that the man must resemble
the Sleeper. There was q prince of
Germany who came to India on a hunt
ing trip. You remember?"
King pricked his ears and allowed
himself to grin, for in common with
many hundred other men who had
been lieutenants at the time, he would
once have given an ear and an eye
to know the truth of that affair. The
grin transferred his whole appearance,
until Yasmini beamed on him.
"Tm listening, princess !" he remind
ed her.
"Well-he came-the prince of Ger
Asia, then the world-even as l now
offer them to you. The sirkar sent him
to see me dance, and he stayed to
hear me talk. When l saw at last that
he has the head and heart of hyena l

'He complained to the sirkar against
me, SO l told the sirkar some-nOt
much, indeed, but enOugh-of the
things he and his officers had told me.
And the sirkar said at once that there
was both cholera and bubOnic plague,
and he must go home! His officers

that time there have always been Ger
mans in communication with me, ard
I have not once been in the dark about

din, mingling with the rivers voice,
made a volcano chord. ''They will lay

She tugged at him and led him back
along the tunnel and through other
tunnels to the throne room, where she
made him sit at her feet again. The
food had been cleared away in their
absence. Instead, on the ebony table
there were pens and ink and paper.

IF somebody fired a pistol in here,
the least would be the collapse Of this
floor into the tunnel below with hun
dred thousand tons of rock on top of
it. There is no other way Out?

made a grimace that set her to laugh

But she looked at him darkly after
that and he got the impression that tho

He began to wonder whether there
was anything she had not thought Of
any 1OOphole she had left him for
escape-any issue she had not fore
seen.
She showed him where eleven hun
dred Mauser rifles stood in racks in
another cave, with boxes of ammuni-
ton piled beside them-each rifle and
cartridge worth its weight in silver
COMA very rajah's ransom!
THE Germans are generous in some
things-Only in some things-very
mean il Others" she told him. "They
sent no medical stores, and no blan-
kets!'
Past caves where provisions of ev-
cry imaginable kind were stored, suffi-
cient for an army, she led him to where
her guards slept together with the
thirty special men whom King had
brought with him up the Khyber.

dare trust to come in here" she said,
but they shall stay outside until l
want them. A mystery is a good thing
1t is good for them all to wonder what
I keep in here! 1t is good to keep this
sanctuary; it makes for power"
Pressing very close to him, she
guided him down another dark tunnel
until he and she stood together in the
jaws of the round hole above the
river looking down into the Cavern Of
Earth's Drink.
Nobody looked up at them. The
thousands were TOO busy working up a
frenzy for the great jihad that was to
come.
Stacks of wood had been piled up,
six-man high in the middle. and then
fired. The heat came upward like a
