the famous terrace OF the Savoy. on

tender ones are never overcharged.

Weird Power of X=Rays.

IN a lecture before the Royal Insti-
tuition in London there was de-
scribed an experiment in which the
N-rays were caused 10 reveal the
structure, almost invisible, of an alloy
of gold and sodium. Gold easily dis
solves in sodium, which is a silver
white, soft metal fusing at a tenn
perature of between 2o6 degrees and
207 degrees Fahrenheit When allow
ed to solidify slowly and then cut in
sections. the alloy of gold and sodium
appears perfectly uniform to the eye.
but when exposed to the N-rays the
actual structure is shown, because So
dium is transparent to the rays. while
gold is Opaque to them. In this way
it was discovered that the sodium
was distributed in crystalline plates.
while the gold was concentrated be-
tween these plates. which traversed
the solid mass both vertically and
horizontally.
