priest to be bitten, but Immediately
following the release OF the snakes
the dancers rush to the snake kiva

apparently prevents fatal results, as
there is no known record of the

 The huge piece Of mechanism, probably the largest of it's kind in the world, pours 25O,o00 volts Of rays through the human body, per forming in from eight to twelve minutes a treatment for cancer or sarcoma which formerly required from one to two hours.
 IL has destroyed cancer in its early stages and retarded old growths. officials of the hospital announce.
 So powerful are the penetrating rays that flow from the apparatus that it has been necessary to cool the great X-ray tube, the largest ever assembled, by a constant flow of water.
 The problem Of devising q way to keep the tube cool held back de- velopment of the machine for years. Engineers in the employ Of the company developing the appa- ratus finally conceived the idea of insulating the water from the source of current, thus preventing it from acting as a conductor and carrying off some of the current vibrating into the tube.
 The control apparatus of the ma chine looks like the power house of q light plant. To operate the machine it was necessary 10 in stall apparatus occupying three large rooms. A transformer room houses a huge electrical generator which steps up" ordinary electric light current 10 250,O00 volts. Meas Ering devices control the force of the ray An operators booth con- tains a control board, and in q treatment room are the machine itself and other devices.
 The N-ray was developed to give treatment in shorter time to pa tents suffering from deep-seated eases Of cancer or sarcoma. To prevent oVer-eXposure 10 the skin the rays are projected through seV- eral surface portals, allowing an extremely powerful ray to pene- trate the body without harming the skin of the patient.
