PARIS. April 22. — Charles Vail
;i; lant. head of the radiographic labora
lory of the Oaribclislere Hospital In
Paris, lias announced a successful
means of replacing the present costly
>■ process of X ray photographing on a
glass negative with printing directly
on to paper.
Vaillant’s new process uses ordinary
•: sensitized paper for taking radium
photographs. The cost of the paper
is only a twentieth of that of the glass
i negative, and there is also a saving
in weight and spare.
Vaillant has only three fingers left
I out of ten, namely two forefingers and
, a thumb, the forefinger of the left
| hand and the thumb and forefinger
[ of the right. The rest of his fingers
! be lost, one after the other, by hold
1 ing them at tile end of a tube, thus
1 trying on himself the penetrative ef
fects of the radium rays. Repeated
amputation, however, did not lessen
\ Vnillajit's enthusiasm. He is already
| the discoverer of a radiographic metii
od of determining whether or not an
infant was born dead or alive.
I The infant born dead conies out on
the negative completely dark, where
as its having uttered a cry, or lived
an instant, tin hour, or ten hourB. is
proved by the development on the
plate, first of the stomach and then of
the lungs. The practical legal result
is that infanticide can now be detected
without recourse to an autopsy.
For the moment Yiillant’s mind is
concentrated on getting the most out
of radiography for the benefit of the
wounded in war. "I want.” he says,
“to extract all the secrets 1 can front
science, so as to help the surgeon to
operate with greater certainty and
save as many heroes as possible. My
little personal war is with science, and
1 mean to make her pay me for my
amputations.”
HOW TO FIND A HUSBAND.
' ROME, April 22. — A discussion of
“How to find a husband after the war.”
is being carried on In the columns of
the Piccolo. Intense interest is indi
cated by the number of letters re
ceived from young women readers,
who confess their fears that there will
not be enough men to go around. One
of these declares her intention to emi
grate to the United States in the hope
of finding a husband.
f ASTONISHING EXPORT RECORD.
■
WASHINGTON. April 22. — Ameri
can exports for February reached a
total of J4o9.836.525, according to ati
announcement made today by the bu
reau of foreign and domestic corn
rnerce. of the department of com
merce. This Is the highest point ever
reached by the export trade in this
country, and exceeds the high mark
for December. 1915, by $50,000,000. It
exceeds the total for January by $83,
000.000. The decline in January had
been taken in some quarters to mean
that the record figure for December
had marked the high tide in the flow
of American exports. The total ex
ports for the first eight months ol
the fiscal year 1910 are $2.586..101,570,
and It now seems probable that the ex
ports for the whole ftseal year will
reach $4,000,900,000.

GRIM RELICS.
LONDON. April 22. — Packed away
I in the pigeon holes of the record of
fice of the territorial regiments in
London buildings are thousands of lit
itlc brown parcels and canvas hags,
which have a pathetic Interest for the
relatives of soldiers who have died
in action. There are letters, too. many
hundreds of them — the last line
perhaps, to parents, relatives or
friends — written just before the bat
tle. Grim reties of the fight, the can
vas bags contain all that the soldier
left in tiie way of effects. A wrist
watch; a shaving brush, a pipe or a
photograph these are but a few of
the mementoes.

TWO MORE CRUISERS.
TOKIO, April 22. — Naval men are
especially interested in tiro two light
cruisers authorized by the last Di«>t.
which will soon be laid down in Jap
anese ship yards. They think that the
war in Kurope. and more particularly
liit- battle of Heligoland, have demon
| strated the superior qualities of tills
. type of light and speedy scout ship.
I which made its strength felt in the
I successful engagement with the Ger
i man squadron. The Japanese ships
j will be constructed along the same
lines as the British Arethusa, although
the definite details,are kept secret.

NEED THE DOCTORS.
VIBNNA. April 22. — Thousands of
university students who art* serving at
the front, have just learned that the
Austrian ministry of education has
decided to grant them special privi
leges In the way of shortening their
college course. In the faculties of
philosophy and law the men will be
allowed to count their time at the
front as a university year. But as for
the medical students, ttie authorities
say the responsibilities of doctors to
the community are too serious to be
lightly dealt with, and so these stu
dents cannot be credited with time
like their fellows in other departments.
