MARTYR TO SCIENCE.
o, By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. London, March 24. A Civil List pension amounting to £120 has been awarded to Dr. Hall Edwards as "a martyr to the use of X-rays." Dr. Edwards permitted certain experiments to be made upon his own body with the X-rays, in the cause of science. The action of the piercing rays upon his face has seriously affected Iris sight, while the constant exposure of his hands to their influence has almost destroyed them.
