The X-ray, employed by the medical, surgical and dental professions, is one hof the five rays dangerous to human. 'While it now perfectly harmless by reason of the precautions employed '1n its use -a shield of glass heavily im- pregnated with lead is always' inter., posed between bre Dation-tend the ray —it is nevertheless exceedingly dau- g6rous if need without such .lprecau- tiQn, Many of the early scientists _who used it had their flesh buret, with the result that acute inflammation of the Oda set in, followed by a caniterous condition, which compelled, in time, the "amputation of finger •after finger and even of the;whole hand of the un- fortunate sufferer. The sceon'd o these •clangeroue' rays is that caused: by the breaking down of radium. In theory these rays are'cap able of producing much, the. sanekind of •effect as the X-ray—blu•ning the flesh 'and with the 'same ultimate re- sults.

'But if the burn is excessive, the ilf, effects on the sufferer may be very serious. One remarkable use of the ultra- violet ray is that, it can act as a chan- nel along which some other electrical `ray can be. conducted, in much the saine way as .electricity is conducted, .along, the telegraph or telephone wire.. The ,fourth dangerousray is' the or'-? dinary heatray which' finds a domestic use in every household in the world. Because It is so employed, Deo ]le ire apt to ignore the fact that it can be.a source of danger, In order to advertise their radiators, a certain firkin in New York sent along ,one of the chief thdroughfares. in the city a great truck on which oae,of their radiators was'mourlted. It had $ cop- per reflector ten times larger than the one used for domestic treating,. The men engaged in demonstrating the apparatus moved the reflector about so as to direct the ileac on to People walking up anddown the Street. - The d treet.The' day selected was freezing Gold, yet at e distance of from ten to fifteen' feet the beam was,' felt to be' uncom- fortably hot to 'anyone upQn whom. it fel]•• ft ,isonly' ecesaryto imagine thd t if such a rofleetot'wei•e made sufficient- ly`strorgit might' be possible to set fire. to any+machine which came for any length of time within their radius The other dangerous ray is the high - frequency. electrical "field.

Happily, however, science has dis- covered a protection against these rays as they are at present. Against the X-ray, radium -ray and the ultra -violet ray a lead shield gives protection. Against the heat ray, a metal, water- cooled ghleid isanbcesea'ry, and against the high -frequency field e shield of copper which may, be used inthe form of a fine metallic gauze Is sufficient.

A Long Wait. When Israel arrived at the seaside hotel, he immediately asked if there was a telegram for frim, and when an- swered in the negative appeared much disappointed. Half an hour: later he inquired again, and receiving the same answer seemed disturbed. After tea he remade further inquiry, and, on learning there was still nothing for him, said: "Veil, I'm going for a brow on the"sauds." Twenty minutes later he returned, and again asked 1f there was a tele- gram for hint, and, when told there was none, went to bis room with a Puzzled countenance: When he, came down dressed for dinner, the hotel cork called him, and, waving a telegram, said:— "Telegram for you, Mr. Israel; jest came.!"

There are many ways of advertising, - Bach has its place -each has its value. Borne ways are better; than othors, To know.:which ways are best, find how to use those ways, is a problem for each individual advertiser, Advertising le a specialized profes- sion involving much technical know icidge.

Montreal, August 25,--Oiiicia1 figures issued here to -day show that the Cana- dian National Railways have ,made a notable advance in net revenues dur- ing the seven months period ending July 31, and that this improvement has. been made in the face of decreased gross receipts. The gross receipts were $5,934,871 or 6.63 per cent. below the correspond- ing figures for 1924, but operating ex- penses were reduged by $11,387,477 or 8.66 per cent„ so that the net position stands at -$5,067,287, en increase of $2,452,606 or 76.29 per cent. as com- pared with the first seven months of 1924 and an increase of 84.59 per cent. over the 1923 figures. The favorable showing that has al- ready been achieved, should be aa- cenEuated during the balance of the year as an upward movement of gross earnings is now proceeding,. -During the month of July, 1925, the gross in- creased by $384,944 or 1.92 per cent. over July, 1924. Operating expenses were decreased by 3955,748 or 4.93 per cent. The resultant increase in not revenues for July is $1,339,690 cr 228.91 per cent. .In -the first three weeba at August, 1925, gross earnings have' shown an increase of $1,773,594 or 14.5 per 'cent, as compared with the gross earnings for the first. three ,weeks of 1924, T'est!ng.a Diamond., Here is a simple test for a diamond.

It is in the natural order of things that Canada should d'esire to be ade- quately represented at a New Zealand exhibition and place her products in a • camprehenasive manner before the ,peo ple of that country, since the two coun- tries are economically drawing closer together every year; Whilst primarily both agricultural countries, Canada -is. n a manner, the antithesis of New Zea- land by reason of her progress along the line of industrial manufacturing, andthe antipodean region has come largely to depend on the Dominion for many commodities. The overseas 'trade of New Zealand In 1924 was the largest volume ever recorded with the exception of the im- port boom year of iDgo. Statistics' for the year show the balance of trade has now returned to normal and the excess of exports over imports is about 9 per cent. According to the figures of the New Zealand Government, Canada supplied commodities to the value of £3,973;631 in that year, as against £2,947,167 in the previous year, an in- crease of, nearly 35 per cent. The tnly countries to record a larger percent- age of :increase were Germany and Australia. When it Is considered that the imports of 1923 were the highest up to that time, it is readily seen that Canadian trade Is steadily increasing. a: Development of ExportTrade. Canadian trade figures show a re- markable development of export trade to New Zealand. In 1915 this amount- ed to only $2,623,855. Figures for the last three years are: 1923, $8,286,262; 1924,112,735,620; and 1925, $15,079,661, Canada's exports constitute a very wide .list. Last year increases were recorded in fish, apples, oats, corn flour, onions, seeds, boots and shoes, carpets and floor' coverings, iron and steel, hardware wire and metal manu- factures, timber of all kinds, sashes and doors, cameras, pianos, autonho• biles, bicycles and accessories,. Other exports are chocolate, fencing, agricul- tural machinery, glassware, electric batteries, paper and soap. Itis considered that Canada has more than kept pace with the normal increase of New Zealand's imports, but, in the opinion of the Canadian Trade Com)itissioner in that country, there is no reason why substantially more business can not be secured: Canada is manufacturing a great variety Of materials of which New Zea- land has need. She -trades .with this: slater of the Brnpire under peculiarly favorable conditions, and transporta- tion between the two countries is ade- quate and efficient, At the same -time it is becoming in- creasingly evident that Canada and New Zealand are drawing closer to- gether in another manner.

Land in New Zea- land Is high and little opportunity is afforded for expansion or the acquire- ment of farmland for the settlement of the sons of farmers_, These are be- ginning to look to Canada. As yet there is a mere awakening of interest -1n 1924, 191 New Zealand settlers, mainly agricultural, came to Canada— but it permits Canada to (hope for greater benefit from this direction in the future. i His Own Grandfather.
