During the small hours of Wednesday ; morning (writes a correspondent of tho ■;■! "Now Zealand Herald," two men, wear- j ing evening dress, wore walking along j High Street, Christcliurch. They had' j apparently been attending somo fconvivinl . -j or social gathering, as both were in high 2 spirits. As they approached a surge cold water tank, which was once ai part •! of the city's fire-lighting scheme, they lad \ a friendly arßimient about tho merits of early morning bathing. One" of tho men offered to bot tho other a shilling that , ' he would not tlivo in. Tho words had i hardly been uttered before the challenge was taken up, and his companion was i "over tho top" and into tho water with ,j a splash. Having oneo got in the next j question was how to get out, and this , ; turned out to bo a much more .difficult ; proposition than the bather had anttci- ;-; patcd. Tn fact, if it had not been for the arrival of some very interested spec- \ tators, tho comedy might have- become a j tragedy. It was a very cold aud wot ; iiguro 'in evening suit Hint eamo out of j the tank. ■] At a recent joint meeting in London of | tho Institution of Electrical Engineers, - • tho Eoval Society of Medicine, and the < Rontgcn Society, a striking exhibition j was given of Eritish-mnde X-ray apparatus and other appliances for electro- j medical purposes. - Co-operation was ww i po=ed between radiologists, electrical en- , ginecra and physicists in research work ; to raise the efficiency of those- appliaueea still higher than it is at present. A ■ [ leading British engineer lias suggested ; tho use of X-iay outfits for electro-metal- . lurgieal research many times more, pow- j erful tli«n tho strongest yet attempted. j Shine your tan shoes with "TAN-OL" i -the brilliant polish that won't rub off. \ -Advt.
