PRIEST AND A HERO.
VICTIM OF X-RAYS. The X-rays have claimed yet another victim, the village priest of Pontigny, in the South of France. He was a bold and tireless experimenter, and during the war he perfected'a method of tracing bullets in the wounded which is said to have saved thousands of lives. The rays produced growths on his hands which' he knew must prove fatal, but he worked on undaunted to the end. The Carnegie , Foundation recently awarded him a silver medal and a money prize. Besides his X-ray work the devoted priest experimented in electricity cures, wireless and optics, and is said to have made important discoveries in each of these fields.
