L. S. C. I. ORACLE mais qu'on s'imagine un plafond a decoration geometrique, tout en relief, et pour comble, un plancher ou se retrouve le meme dessein en bois colores. Ces plafonds s'appellent Hplafond a caissonsf' I1 est quatre heures et demie et a force de regarder en haut et en bas nous avons grand faim. Quittons le palais par le fameux escalier du fer at cheval et allons en ville trouver les meilleures brioches qu'on ait jamais mangees et une bonne tasse de chocolat! Which we did. -A. M. FREEMAN et CIE. DES METIERS DU TERROIR CANADIEN FRANCAIS Cet an a la Western Fair, il y eut une exposition des metiers du terroir canadien-francais, qui montrait tres clairement leur vie primitive. De petits tapis a beaucoup de couleurs, des couvertures, des courtepoints blanches en lin, et des ceintures flechees etaient pendues au mur, et l'espace etait orne comme une petite maison canadienne-frangaise. Quel tableau tres interessant! Pour faire les cou- vertures il y a beaucoup d'ouvrage. D'abord le lin est arrache sur le champ, et on le bat fortement, et on le trampe dans l'eau, et alors on le fait secher. Alors le lin est pret pour le rouet et enfin on fait de petites nappes et des courtepoints. Les petits tapis sont tisses par main dans la region de, Murray Bay, et sont de grande valeur, parce qu'ils montrent de jolis tableaux, par exemple, une petite mai- son, derriere des arbres en hiver, avec les laurentines bleus a l'arriere-plan. Le soir des hommes canadien-francais chanterent des chansons du ter- roir, commencant par, O Canada, et suivant par, Au clair de la lune, Frere Jaques, Alouette, et beau- coup d'autres. Ils se mirent comme aux jours d'autre fois, vetus d'un gilet, d'une culotte d'etoffe grise, de chemises at carreaux, de ceintures fiechees de- grande valeur et chausses de bottes sauvages. Ces ceintures fiechees co fitent a peu pres quatre-vingt dollars. Quand les hommes chantaient, une vieille filait et on pouvait entendre le bruit doux de son rouet. Ce tableau eut l'aird'une maison canadienne-frangaise et je croyais at moi-meme, Quelle vie tranquille! -J. WATSON, V B. 37 PARLEZ-VOUS FRANCAIS? Avez-vous jamais tache de parler francais pendant une demi-heure? Des eleves des classes superieures se sont assembles plusieurs fois l'annee derni- ere pour pratiquer la conversation frangaise. Ceux qui dirigeaient les programmes etaient-D. Kidd, L Pat- terson, G. Hamlyn, M. Trout, J. Mc- Kay, C. Walters et R. Carnegie. Un apres-midi les eleves ont joue aux jeux et ont chante des chansonsg un autre jour ils ont fait un voyage de Paris at Lyons dans un train. Il s'est passe beaucoup d'incidents amusants. Cet an le cercle francais s'organisera tout a l'heure et nous esperons que les eleves profiteront de faire part a ces programmes. -lVI.K.M. STAMP COLLECTORS This week a remarkable stranger, claimed admission to my circle of stamp friends, a veritable chief from the South Seas, in the scanty but picturesque costume of the Cook Is- lands. He figures on the new 2Md. stamps of Rarayonga, Aitutaki, Nieu and Penrhyn. The gentleman on the stamp is a Raratongan and is pictured before his house amid the palm groves. In his left hand he holds a spear Chis power of fightj but in the other hand he holds a fan which indicates he is a man of peace. His head-gear is made from the feathers of the wood-dove and the bosun-bird. Look out for the new stamps from Newfoundland, for there are many pleasing designs. One shows a map of the Island and part of North Am- erica. Another shows the Grand Falls of Labrador. Among the portrait stamps are the King and Queen and the Princegof Wales, and several views showing Heart's Content where the first trans- Atlantic cable was receivedg Cabot's Tower, where the first trans-Atlantic wireless message was received. Prob- ably the best of the Newfoundland stamps from the point of color schem- ing is the fifteen cent issue showing the Vickers-Vimy aeroplane, in which Sir John Alcock set out from Newfound- land, on the first successful trans-Atlan- tic Bight. -JERRY COPPELMAN, III B.

L. s. c. 1. ORACLE 39 4 1 ' k ill? i X E-E f 5 Q - me : E fin ,- N I - if 2 1 if M Editor, GEORGE LAMONT, IV B THE X-RAY By H. S. WISMER, M.D. Radiologist. To submit a short article on the X-Ray one must be content to simply jump from one high peak to another. When Conrad Roentgen first dis- covered this new type of energy he opened up such new wonders in the world of physics that we are only now beginning to realize its far-reaching effects and future potentialities. It is only necessary to recapitulate the apparently disjointed connections be- tween Faraday's electrical researches of a century ago, Daguerre's discovery of photograph, Crookes' low-pressure gas tube, Stokes' work on Huorescence and Roentgen's astute observations on the behaviour of fluorescent screens and photographic plates in the vicinity of a Crookes' tube to grasp ,something of the romance of X-Ray. . Roentgen's discovery came in 1895 and was immediately given to the world. Science at once grasped its significance and medicine was, perhaps, the first of the applied sciences to put it to prac- tical use. Here was an agent to pene- trate solid material. Indeed there was now no such thing as solid material. Matter was now built of infinitely small bricks with great wide inter- stices capable of allowing a ray to easily pass between its bricks For the iirst few years progress was slow but soon acquired momentum, particularly during the World War. . For a comprehension 'of the physics of the X-Ray tube it is necessary to have a working knowledge of the nature of matter as twentieth century physics sees it. Dalton's atomic theory taught the 19th century savants that the atom was the smallest particle to which matter could be subdivided. 20th century physics takes the little hard 19th century pellet and reconstructs as a small solar system with a central sun or proton revolving around which are from one to ninety-two planets or negative electrons. This model of the atom is not exactly correct but serves as a good working theory. An X-Ray tube is composed of a glass bulb exhausted of atmospheric air as far as possible with two terminals, an anode and cathode. f The first tubes used were gas tubes which depended on gas introduced into the tube and the later types are not cathode tubes. The principle in each is the same. When the tube is energized by a high poten- tial current the negative electrons are torn away from the atoms of either the gas in the gas tube or the heated filament in the hot cathode tube at the cathode terminal. These How across the intervening gap between the two terminals and are bombarded against the anode which is specially constructed so as to present a target which is inclined at an angle to the stream of electrons. This electronic stream is known as the cathode ray. It travels at thousands of miles per sec- ond and produces at the point of impact a ray which travels outward in all directions. This is the X-Ray. Its wave lengths are very much shorter than light. It has the same velocity as light, 186,000 miles a second, obeys
