X RAYS AND BALDNESS. Unpleasant Experience of a Western Man who was Plucky to the Last. William Levy, of Eau Claire, Wis, who recently had an X—ray examina- tion of his skull made by Professor Frederick S. Jones, at the physical 1a- ‘boratory of the Minnesota State Uni- versity, had an experience in conse- quence not generally supposed to ac- company that process. Levy was shot in the head about ten years ago by an escaping bank de- faulter. The bullethas been some- where in his head ever since, and in July he made up his mind to have it located. Accordingly he came up and sat from 8 o’clock in the morning till 10 at night for a Rdntgen-ray picture of his head. The bullet had passed in- to his skull just above the left ear, go- ing toward the back of the head. After taking a couple of negatives, they finally found where the bullet was located. The doctors wrapped his head up in wires, which were definite ly located. A picture wastaken through the skull from the front toward the back of the head, the tube from which the rays radiated being, for this pur- pose, placed inside his mouth. The picture thus secured showed the bullet very distinctly to be lying at the junc- ture of two of the wires, which cross— ed right under the occipital bone. It indicated also that the bullet had struck the back of the skull and turned forward again, for the point of the bul- let, being further from the plate, showed dimmer on the negative. These exposures had taken up nearly the whole day, but the patient felt no bad effects at the time. He had been warned that the experiment might cause him the loss of his hair, but that did not deter him from taking the risk. A very strong current, about ' 100,000 volts had been passed through the tube in making the exposure. The next day Mr. Levy began to no- tice a peculiar efiect on his skin where- evcr it had been most exposed to the rays, and the hair on the right side of his head, which had been near the wire, began to fall out. In a few days the right side of his head was perfect- ly bald, his right car had, swollen to twice its natural size, and presented the same appearance as if very badly frozen. Sores were visible on his head; his mouth and throat were blist- ered so that he could not eat solid food for three weeks, and his lips were swollen, cracked and bleeding. In fact, the long exposure of the X-rays, while giving him no pain at the time, seemed to have produced very similar effects to a very severe burn. Mr. Levy has recovered from the ef- fects of his burns, but he still has half a bald head. He is a plucky man, about thirty years of age, and, in- tends to have the investigations car- ried further and the bullet removed. He has already written to Professor Jones, asking for another sitting. It it necessary now to have a negative showing how far below the surface the bullet is before the doctors decide whether the operation can be safely performed. . “Ins Ready for Him." ‘ A rural Georgia preacher, finding the weather too warm, pulled 03 his coat and preached in his shirt sleeves. After the sermon a good brother, think- ing an editor who was present would make a sensation of the inci— dent, said to thegparson: . “I don’t suppose you knew, when you pulled off your coat to-day, that one of them newspaper fellers was in meet- in’ ?” , “Yes, I did,” replied the. preacher. “But I had my eye on it all the time!” ——San Francisco Wave. Webster arid" the Butcher. Daniel Webster was once sued by his butcher, and the man did not call upon him afterward to trade with him. Webster met him in the course of 'a few days, and asked him why he didn’t call. “Because,” said the man, “I supposed that you would be offend- ed, and wouldn’t trade with me any more.” To which Webster replied: “0h, sue me as many times as you like, but for heaven’s sake don’t starve me to death.”-—Argonaut. A WEI RD EXPERIENCE. A Young Englishman Nearly Crazed by ‘ Fright. . . “When I find a. man who says the. he has never known fear,” said a young Englishman recently to a. New Orleans Times-Democrat man, “I don’t know what to make of him. I went to sea when I was a boy, and rose to the rank of first officer on one of the regular liners entering this port. In those years I knocked around the world a good deal, and had lots of ex- periences, both alone and in company of my shipmatcs. At times I was placed in positions which, according to the general opinion, took a good deal of nerve to go through. But once in Australia I was as badly fright encd as a man can well be without dying of fright. It was an awful ex- perience, intensified by Australian darkness. I was alone, and put up for the night in a cabin. There were a good many desperate men and many wild animals in the locality, so I made sure to have the doors and windows securely locked and bolted before I went to sleep. I left the lamp burn- ing low. “During the night I was awakened by the sound of something falling. The light had gone out. I listened in anxious nervousness, and then I heard again the, sound that waked me. I can’t describe it. It was like a heavy muffled blow. Then silence. Every few seconds the sound was repeated. During each interval of silence I felt my blood getting colder and colder from uncertainty, and each time the sound was repeated I was less able to locate it than the time before. All sorts of frightful stories heard now and then flashed through my mind. I felt as if I should go mad. “Finally, feeling that my hair was white, and quite sure that it was standing straight up with fear, I reached for my match box, but could not find it. I gathered together enough of the fragments of my cour— age to creep out of bed and hunt for my coat. As I did so I felt something go through the air by me and heard the sound again. How I did it" I don’t know to this day, for I was sure some wild animal had sprung at me, but I found a match and struck it. As I did so I saw two balls of fire glowing in the corner of the cabin. A second later, an age it seemed, the match flared up, and I saw what had caused my fear, a great black cat of unusual size, holding a rat between its paws. I tumbled back into bed, trembling like a child, and so nervous that I could not sleep. So I lay there and heard the now different sound a while longer, until a crunching let me know that the out had finished its play and begun its meal. No, it is a very brave man who has never known fear; for the most panicky fear ordinarily is caused by some circumstances as in- Significant as the one I have told you of", A Tivo-Heaideldi'l‘ortoise. There died at New Haven, Conn, consequentupon injuries inflicted by a cat, a most remarkable instance of duality of existence in the shape of a double-headed tortoise, or, more pro— perly speaking, two tortoises inhab- iting a single shell. They might, or they might not, each drink, sleep or swim as each willed. When one side with its organs and appendages slept, or was inert, the other with this dead weight as a cen- tre could but describe a circle, a course which it found endless. Here then arose a. beautiful example of adaptability. It learned to drag it- self sideways wherever it would— over the whole yard. They swam together well, but walked together awkwardly. As they walked the forelegs acted simulta- ‘neously, so in turn the hind legs, leav- ing alternately the front and back of the shell without support. Thus, by a slow teetering or rocking gait they could go where they would. In starting they almost invariably pulled persistently in opposite direc- tions, which drew them laboriously backward three or four feet. Resting a moment, they would start together and make the circuit of the yard. All through the first act of “Secret Service," at the Garrick, the price tag on a mantel clock hung in full view of the audience. The opening night of “Evangeline" Dixey wore the man facturer’s tag on the back of his Lone Fisherman overalls. Little points that seemed funny to the spectators. And speaking of tags recalls the story of the railroad porter who was seen car- rying a dog. with that beast ” asked a friend. “Sure, I don’t know, and the .dog , The blamed fool ate his . don’t know. tag.” Soap Found'fii Pompeii; .
