THE HARM IN X-RAYS-
Tha question that scientists who are
latarastad In X ray dleooveriea are
asking eaoh other just now Is what
hidden dangers are oontalnad In tha
my*terlous aotlon of the new light. In
tha the train of tha blessings tbet have
aoourad to medloal soUnoa through the
discovery of the rays there seams to ba
oimlng a strange and Incomprehensi-
ble series of Injurious sff.ot* thet
threaten to make a oar* by th* eld of
Roentgen’s dlsoovery worse than the
disease. Among the scientist* who
rldtoulad tha notion that there oonld
ba any real danger In the nse of the X
raya was Prof. Ellhu Thompson. He
determlntd to test the matter for him-
self, and the reaalt is desorlbsd by
him as follows:
I applied the Roentgen raya for th*
spao* of half an hoar to one of the
fingers of my left band, and bald tha
finger steady In tbs rays until I waa
tired. I had not th# slightest feeling
of pain or any 111 effect at all from the
exposure, and was mors than aver oon
vlnoad that there waa no ground at all
for tb* fears af soma of my fallow solan
tlst*.
"I mentioned tha axpsrlmant abort
ly afterward* and was vary mnoh
pleased to hav* demonstrated th* harm
l*ssn*s6 of th* rays. Nina days later,
however, I changed my ton*. Th*
finger bad baooma Inflamed and 6or*
and pained ma terribly. Then tha skin
began to paal < ff, and th* place waa so
sensitive that I oonld not bear to tonob
ft. Jt bad th* appaaranoa and feeling
of having bean burned or eoalded.
There waa no longer room for me to
donbt the tnjarloua tffeota of tha X
rays. It Is six weeks sino* I experi-
mented In thts way, and tha finger la
still sore, although muoh batter than ft
was. Th* naxt thing to do Is to find
out tb* oius* of this li jarous Influence
and try to prove a remedy. I am still

8HE DIDN’T GO.
Be* Mind Was Changed by an Unforeseen
Incident.
"Chesterfield, dear," romarkod young
Mrs. Bltterswoet, “1 am roally afraid that
I mast go away this summer. I hate to
leave you, but I need a ohango badly."
Mr. Bittersweet held his paper before his
faoe as he replied:
"I—I suppose Mrs. Brownsmith is go-
lngf”
"Of oourse she is. She says she hates
it, but she Just has to go. When her hus-
band is left at home alone, he gives so
many stag parties that the parlor ourtains
and oarpets are sure to be ruined. You
see, she wants new ones this year anyhow,
and he won't give them to her under any
other crloumstaDces without grumbling.
In this way she will get the new things
and be able to do all the grumbling her-
self."
"H'ml Stag parties are”—
“Very stupid affairs. I shall just shut
up the parlor and all but a few of the oth-
er rooms. I don’t Intend to go off to the
oountry and leave my poor boy to be both-
ered by housekeeping cores whUe I'm
away.”
"Very thoughtful, I’m sure. Faot is, I
■hall be busy at tho office night and day
and shaU have no time for parties."
"I don’t see how I can find the heart to
leave you, after all. I’m sure I don’t
want to go at all, though everybody I
know wUl be out of town, hut the doctor
■ays I need a change, and I’m sure that I
have lost at least two pounds since I was
weighed In January.”
“Oh, If the doctor thinks"—
"Yea; I suppose I shall hnve to go since
you insist so upon It, but I shall have to
be on the go every minute In the day lest
I get homeslok."
"Of oourse I shall miss you awfully.”
“Oh, I’ll stay If you wish, but I fear
that I shall be poor company. You won’t
mind If the heat makes me a bit dull and
cross, wlU you?”
"Ob, I wouldn’t think of asking such a
sacrifice. Your health demands It, and you
must go.”
“Yos, I wouldn’t so muoh mind dylDg
myself, but the Idea of loaring you with
no one to—to select your ties and watch
that you don't smoke too many olgars Is
terrible."
“How thoughtful of you I But I thought
that you Intended to make a shopping trip
today?”
“Woll, it hardly soemod worth while.
You soomed so opposed to the ldoa of my
going away when I spoke of It last week.”
“Oh, but the doctor hadn’t ordered It
then.”
“True. And It didn’t seem worth while
to got a lot of pretty now things whon I
might be too weak to go out and wear
them, and if I were to die It would be ter-
rible for you to soe them.”
“So you didn’t go?”
“No, I just took a 25 mile spin on my
wheel Instead.”
“You must begin yonr preparations at
onoe. Of oourse I shall be miserable with-
out you”—
"And I without you. I shall danoo a
great doal. Nothing keeps off the blues so
effectively as dancing, and I want to be
able to write you long, oheerful letters to
brighten your solitude.”
“Yes, I shall be lonely Indeed, but”—
“Hello, Blttersweot," oalled a Jovial
voice from the pavement below, “my wife
has Just gotten off to the seashore, and os
you said yours would be out shopping all
day I ran over to tell you all about our
summer baohelors’ club, of whloh we in-
tend to make you president. I just saw
Doo, and he says he saw your wife this
morning and prescribed aohangeof air, aa
you requested. Say, old man, you don’$
look well yourself. What’s the matter?”
The only reply was a long groan, and
then Mrs. Blttorswoet’s voice rose loud and
dear In the next room. She was talking
through the telephone, and this was what
she said:
“Is this you, Emily? Yes? Well, I Just
oalled you up to say that I have decided
not to go away at all this summer. My
husband needs me at home, I find, and we
oan spend all our evenings on dear mam-
ma’s veranda anyhow; It is always cool
there. ’ *—-Chloago ^Imes-Herald.
A NEW SANTA CLAUS.
Without tho wind was walling.
The night was cold and drear:
Within the red logs crackling
Proclaimed the Christmas cheer.
“If Santa Claus would only,"
Bald little Bertha, “now
Come down the jet black chimney
With painted doll and cow.
“With elephant and zebra
And scarlet cockatoo,
Rhinoceros and camel
And frog and kangaroo,
“I should he very happy
To see his features sweet. ”
Her father sold, with laughter,
“The logs would burn his feet."
He sent them to the kitchen
And told them that no doubt
Santa'd come down the chimney
When ho saw the logs put out.
Then up stairs went tho father
A-laughlng with delight,
Put on a great fur ulster
And hair and whiskers white.
He brought the toys down with him,
And when they flocked about
He gave them fruit and candles
And laughed to hear them shout.
He gave them toys and kissed them
And sent them up to bed.
That he might Join the reindeer
And speed upon the sled.
"The children all are happy,"
Unto his wife said ho,
“And we shan’t have the bother
Of dressing up that tree.
"Hurrah for all the blessings
That light our co*y ken I
Hurrah for Merry Christmas
And peace unto all men!"
