We cannot stand by and see utter ruin come upon Mexico, If her own leaders cannot help her, then “this Government will be constrained to decide what means should be em- played by the United States in order to help Merico save herself and serve her people.” t But who can forecast the full programme to which tis declara- tion commits us? What new burdens of national responsibility and _ otifice may it lay upon To restore constitutional government and rights to the Mexi- “an people! 4 Who are the Mexican people? More than a year ago, before we ested Huerta, The Evening World raised this important question. ‘We take it Mexico, with all her troubles, still pretends to be a Tepablis with a quasi-representative government. But where shall'we leek for public opinion in Mexico? Among the 3,000,000 who can read and write or among the 12,000,000 who cannot? Among the 3,000,000 whites, the 5,000,000SIndians or the 6,000,000 half-breeds? ‘Among the 3,500,000 who pay taxes or among the peons, many of whom have never seen a piece of money? A few years ago there were 459 new lished in Mexico. How far do such as surv thought or purpose? Ie there any possible way @e can get at such public sentiment as éxiste in Mexico, convince it of our honor and good faith, strengthen it, educate it, induce it to act for its own good? At present we have to admit Mexico has no mind. Therefore, over a territory of 765,000 square miles, among a population of born fightere—perennially inflamed against one another, deceived, deluded by their leaders, kept in a state of ignorance and suspicion—must be somehow spread the leaven of national conscience and ambition. When we discover the full measure of the task we have under- - taken—The Evening World prophesied it when we occupied Vera | Graz—it will prove to be nothing less than the pacific conquest of _Mazico by enlightenment.

X-rays pass very fresly through the various tissues and fluids of the body, but are obstructed by the bones, which makes it pos~ sible to take a perfect shadow-plo~ ture, or radiograph, of the skel of a living person or animal. In practical results, the X-rayw have been most useful in surgery, since radiographs may be taken of fractured, splintered or diseased bones, thus assisting greatly in diag- nosis and treatment. Bullets, needles, fragments of elfells or other fo: objects in the body may be located, which renders the X-rays of high utility in war. The su evenoes of the brig ce has made it possible to use t! nm rays not only in surgical cases but also in making anatomical studies and tn diagnos! internal diseases. Another use of the X-rays was die- covered in 1897 by Prof. Reginald A. Fessenden of the Western bee of Pennsylvania, who made which proved that blow hi in heavy armor could be detec! by radiography. ‘The science of radiography te still in ita infanoy, and doubtless many other fields of usefulness will be found for it. “Yes, why?” “Oh, nothing.
