Sixty Miles of the Yalu
Valley.
Antung, Manchuria, May 13. —
The flag of Japan flies over the
sixty miles of the Yalu and far
inlonrl
Japanese cavalry are streaming
north toward Liao Yang, the cen
ter of the Russian army.
Fresh divisions of Japanese
tfoops are pouring up from the
sea and every hour brings in
creased evidence of the complete
ness of the Russian defeat. They
occupied Karping Monday and
will occupy New Chwang Friday.
Long lines of Russian prison
ers are constantly marching into
Antung from the front. They
are mostly of gigantic stature,
gray coated and wearing shaggy
shagos, in striking contrast to
the little Japanese forming their
guard.
The prisoners are battle-worn
and show from their dazed ex
pression a sense of having expe
rienced an imcomprehensible ca
lamity.
The hospital at Kiu Lien Cheng
is full of wounded Russians.
Japanese traders are opening
stores in many Manchurian vil
lages and the invaders are wel
comed by the Chinese.

RADIUM EMANATIONS.
MMtlit Think* (he Wonderfel Sub
etanee Con Be Heed to Care
Pulmonary Tuberoaloala.
Frederick Soddy, who was Prof. Ruth,
•rford, assistant at McQill university.
In Montreal, has suggested another use
(Or radium. He argues that as it has
boon found to cure consumption of the
Skin (lupus), it should also cure con>
sumption of the lungs, if Its rays can ha
brought to bear directly on the diseased
lung tissue, without any intervening
substances, such as the chest wall. At
first sight, says the Scientific American,
. • • ____it. _ _ _ j ran ...ii al _ a. *
tUlB ocuiuo aOkuvi u uiiuvuiv vuiug lu UU,
u It Is, of course, out of the question to
place any solid mass of radium within
the lungs themselves. But recent stud
ies have shown that radium in a solution
gives off a gas and that this gas is itself
radio-active. So all that Is necessary to
subject the Internal lung tissue to the
direct action of radium rays is to breathe
a mixture of air and the radium gas. By
this means Mr. Soddy believes a new and
valuable remedy for consumption will be
available to the pathologist. The rays
from radium have already proved use
ful in the treatment of several forms of
skin disease, and it has been suggested
that the insertion of minute particles
of radium in the interior of a cancer Is
worth trying. It should be remembered,
however, that even if radium proves val
uable in the treatment of pulmonary tu
berculosis, its cost Is so high—several
hundred dollars a grain—that it could
not come Into general use under present
conditions.
IllrUn That Blush.
An observer finds that some
birds blush. He writes: “We have a
very fine specimen of the blue and yel
low macaw which displays this trait—
cot often, for he is remarkably good
tempered—and the ‘blush* is an invari
able sign of anger; so much so, that we
warn all friends that while his cheeks
remain white all attacks are feigned
and in play and can be disregarded,
yet if the ‘danger signal'—red—shows,
to look out and keep out of reach.”
The owner of a blue and orange macaw
says that its white, parchment-like
face becomes bright pink, especially
above the peak, whenever it is angry
or excited.

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
