All Lhnrsu fi-nds are cxh‘cmoly inter- ;psting'. because of the fact that each Jupparently has its own mission to lperform in the world of commerce, {of science, and of medicinv. What mission in particular each may have is now being tested and found out ,by the savunts of every branch of science all over the world. ‘This“? COMMERCIAL USES. . Learned men and women are so busy trying to make startling finds in the various paths of scientific knowledge that the average person is showing signs of Wearincss at being usked to follow them so rapidly. [It seems but yesterday that the great Finsen light came into prom- inence, followed by Rontgen's great discovery of the X-rays, which in its turn was supplanted by the Curies' discovery of radium, to be followed Vgain by the finding, by Professor .Zlondlot, of other hidden rays. The hatter discovery, which is the last 104' the family, brought. into being the rays that are now called the N-ruys; ‘lbut there appears to be some doubt. 1as to whether these are well authen- licuted. Take the pearl industry. A new application of the Xâ€"ruys has been discovered by Professor Raphael Duâ€" bois, of Lyons. In the pearlâ€"fisher- ies there takes place every year a wholesale destruction of oysters and incipient pearls. To ascertain the size of a pearl it, was necessary, of course. to open every oyster. The death of the oyster naturally follow- ed, andâ€"as in nine cases out of ten the pearl was too small, or was only in the incipient stages of formation -â€"-both the oyster and the pearl had to be thrown away. Thousands of pearls have thus been lost in that way. and they might have been sav- ed if the fishermen could only have had some means of examing an oys- iter ! They come in here. The discovery of the Xâ€"mys, for instance, is one of l~the oldest, and scientists have been {'xpcrimenting with it longer than with nnythmg else of‘Lhe same na- urc. Apart from the medical uses with anything else of‘tha same na- lture. Apart from the medical uses Pf the Xâ€"raysâ€"und there is no ques- ;tion that in the practice of medicine and surgery hundreds of lives have ialrcudy been saved and deathbed miracles performed by the Xâ€"mysâ€"- Rontgon's “find” is already being made useful in the world of com- merce, where everything is positive and matter of fact. We write the above paragraph in the past tense for a very good reas- on. As a matter of fact, the cus- tom of opening every oyster, just to See what sort of a. pearl is nestling within the shell, is carried on at k‘VeI‘y pearlâ€"fishery. In a. short while, however, the new system will be coming in; and this cansists of lexamination by the help of the X- ’l‘a.ys. and by them it will be possible Jto tell the size of the precious pearl 'Iwithout opening; ‘nd thus killing the valuable crustaCt n. It the rays discover that. the treasure within the shell is yet only half grown, the livâ€" ing oyster will be replaced in its lodgings by the sea, and left till its hidden treasure has grown to its proper size. ISUMEMUNEY-MAKING RAYS The practical person might ask: But. what is the practical use of all these wonderful scientific "finds"? 310W DIS‘COVERIES ARE PLIED T0 COMMERCE. This must. mean more pearls than usual being placed on the market. and their price will come down, and probably no more “corners” in pearls will be heard of. Now, what. is possible for the X- rays to do is possible for any other kind of rays already discovered, or on the eve of discovery. For a while. they will be the property of the scientists, and they will have on- ly in. scientific value on the account; but. it is clear that sooner or later other ruys'will be found to possess perhaps an even greater commercial ‘vulue than the X-rays.

North Pelham, Ont., May 16.â€" (SDeCial)â€"Mr. Joseph L. Thomas, a substantial farmer of Pclham Town- ShiD. well known and highly respect- ed throughout this neighborhood, has joined the ranks of the great army of Canadians who pin their faith to Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Thomas gives his reasons for doing so as fol- lows: "For several years I was sorely :lfâ€" llxctcd with Kidney Trouble, having many of its worst. symptoms in an flagl'avated degree. I had Lumbago, and was in such a condition that I was unfit for anything for weeks at a. time. FARMER GIVES HE PINS HIS FAITH TO DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. "Insomnia resulted and I was an intense suficrer. I had almost por- petual headache and grew thin in flesh. "I had been treated by a doctor without good results, so upon the recommendation of a. cousin, who had been saved from a, life of misery by Dodd's Kidney Pills, I hogan taking them. “Thu- first box gave me decided benefit and after taking five boxes the old trouble was a. thing of the past and I was again in every way strong: and well.” Ask those who have used them if they ever heard of a case of Kidney Disease Dodd's Kidney Pills would not cure. spent by every business house in the process of copying letters. It is a long and tedious process, as every junior clerk knows; but, with the Becquerel rays in use the process is expedited, and is much cleaner. whilst there is no fear of a bad copy being taken. ’l‘hese rays are able to photograph letters in the fraction of a second. and nothing more need be done. The X-rays have been up- plied to the same purpose in insur- ance offices. RADIUM TO THE FORE. It is only a question of time as to whether the Nâ€"ra.ys will he fathered upon commerce in the same way as the others, if we admit the fact of their discovery. Radium-rays, how- ever, seem to be more adapted for medical purposes. It is devoutly hoped by many a medical man in this country that that may prove the panacea for two of the greatest scourges that afllict humanity. That they have already done some good in cancer is reported from more than one hospital; whilst in a certain painful nasal disease radiumâ€"rays have efiectcd a, surprising cure. No one can say with any certainty, how- ever, whether cures by radium are lasting. At the best, they are only successful experiments; but the be- lief is universal that they will be lasting remediesâ€"London Answers. “You have not kissed me," she pouted, “for fifteen minutes." “I know it." he said. “I have a. very sensitive tooth, which is liable to ache if I do." “What do you mean, sir ?" “Why, you are so sweet, you know !”- Beware of Ointments for Caiarrh that Contain Mercury.
