This discovery of another remari abl? property of the X-rays was an nounced last night by the chairman of the education committee of the London county council. Many_ children in the council's schools had been treated for scalp troubles with X-rays, and it had beeu noticed, he said, that amongst .the beneficial. results of the treatment was this-that it made their hair curl. The chairman even produced pho tographs of curly-haired, children whose curls.were the product of the X-Hays, and these were handed for inspection to the members. If the curls so produced are at' aJl permanent, this discovery will be hailed. with delight by those ladies who at present have to depend on unsightly curl. papers and the dis comfort of the hot curling tongs ro produce a "natural wave" in the hajr. Li the future we may expect that an X-ray apparatus will become part of the equipment of every upto-date ladies' hairdresser, and that with tlie fashionable lady the X-ray wave will supercede the Marcel' wave. . Yet, despite this, the parents of the children treated in the council's scLccb ...'j inclined to think the treatment injurious, said the chair man last night.

Round After Round the Honors Were Even. San Francisco.-Dick Hyland knock ed out Leach Cross in the forty-first round of their forty-five round fight Saturday at tho Colina arena.' Betting at the ringside on the match was even. Some wagers were made at ten td nine, however, with Cross favorite. The weather was cold and foggy and the attendance light. Among the well known fighters introduced in the ring were Young Corbett, Billy Papke, Johnny Frayne, and several lesser lights. The crowd yelled for Stanley Ketchel, but he failed to respond. At the end of the fifth round both men were fresh, as no considerable damage had been done by either. Hon ors were slightly in favor of Cross. The latter's footwork was good and his blows were delivered with a cal- j culation to do damage. After taking two vicious left uppercuts in the Jaw, Cross came back with two straight CATCHER SHRIVER.

Hyiand's face was badly damaired. but he was landing damaging puiches at every oppor tunity. In tho twenty-first round a left up percut to the jaw sent Cross to the floor, but only for an dnstant. . Round after round Cross kept backing away, trying to force Hyland to cover. But Hyland, always foxy, never gave the opening Cross was looking for. In the twenty-third round Hyland) swung two punishing lefts to the jaw, In the next round Cross, still going j away, dazed the Californian with a! right chop on the jaw. Round twenty five was a rapid exchange of vicious blows, with Cross somewhat distress ed. In tho fortieth Hyland pushed his clinging opponent away, and Cross surprised the spectators by swinging two hard lefts to the jaw. In the forty-first Cross came up fighting, but was sent to the rones with a hard right to the Jaw. He dropped to the floor, and remained for the count Of pine. He agjlu &!*-erred to the cen ter of the ring and Hy!?.nd find'ir.s the jaw apparently an invulnerable point, suddenly changed his tactics, and sent a. terrific right in Cross' stomach.

His height combined with his cleverness, enabled him to carry off the honors of the evening. Klaus would sail in with head down and. attempt to plant right and left to Kelly's head, 'but nearly every time the Windy City mitt-wielder would step back and uppercut with both hands. While Tais blows cut Klaus a ?good deal they never slowed him up ?Jid every second of the six rounds the local artist was forcing the fighting, not even breaking ground when Kelly would start a rally, which he did, cn more than one occasion. Kelly showed that he did not hold Klaus cheaply and fought a careful battle throughout, timing nearly every blow and watching every movement of his opponent It was not until the third round that the two ?got going right, the Hi st and second hising taken up in feeling each other out.

When the chief operator reprimanded Miss Monk the chief did not understand the situation, and thought the girl was flirting. Miss Monk, when called upon afterward to explain her conduct, experienced no nTjficulty in clearing herself of the imputation which had been cast upon her. Notwithstanding that, she went home, determined to die rather than face her comrades in the exchange. Before she drank the acid she wrote a note.

There are many boys here at Harvard who do not know what social life means. They study from the time they enter school until they graduate. "Of course, there are some who do nothing but fool away their time; I do not mean to say that that is what I uphold, for it is not.

The Senate concluded its discus? sion of the schedules of the tariff bill Monday and is now ready for the corporation and .income tax ques tions. Senator Aldrich introduced a resolution proposing an amendment to collect the taxes' 'on incomes from whatever source derived and without apportionment among thc several States. An increase in the duty on struc tural iron and steel valued at more than 9-10 of a cent per, pound was made by the Senate, the increase be ing from 3-10 to 4-10 of.a cent per pound. Cotton bagging was placed onVthe free list. Ineffectual' efforts were made to place cotton ties, school books, bind ing twine and salt on the free list and Egyptian cotton on the dutiable list. 'What is whiskey?" was discuss ed in the Cabinet room of the "White House. President Taft listening to attorneys for rectifying distilleries and blenders, who oppose the recent decision of Solicitor General Bowers as to what should be labeled 'imita tion whiskey."

' After defeating Senator Tillman's amendment for a tax of 10 cents a pound on tea^ bv a vote pf 18 to 55, thus concluding the schedules-jof the tariff bill, the Senate took up the income and corporation tax questions. Senator Aldrich said he would sup port the corporation tax amendment .as a means of defeating the income tax, expressing the opinion that the tax would be repealed after two years or the rate materially lowered. The Democrats held that this position was a subterfuge on Mr. Aldrich's part to destroy the income tax. Sen ator Flint, who will have ch?rge of I the corporation tax amendment, spoke in favor of it. Senator Cummins in favor of the income tax; and Sen ator Dixon in favor of an inheritance ' tax, although the latter said he would vote for the corporation tax Senator Flint said the corporation tax would yield, in his opinion, a revenue of $40,000,000 to $50,000.000 a year. Secretary of the Treasury Mac Yeagh made a call on national bank depositories for a return to Treas ury of government funds approximat ing $25,000,000. . . . Income and corporation tax ques tions were discussed Thursday in the Senate. .Among those who spoke were Senator Root, of New York, who advocated the corporation and/ opposed the income tax; Senator Borah, of Idaho, who took opposite sides with Mr. Root; and Senators Owen and Clapp, who favored the income tax. But for the objection of one Sena tor, Mr. Bulkeley^ of Connecticut, > next Tuesday would have been fixed as the date for a vote by the Senate on the income tax amendment to' the ' tariff bill.

The provisions of the measure go in to effect March 31, 1910, and 20 days' must elapse before the President's proclamation applying the maximum duty of 25 per cent ad valorem, in ad-^J dition to other duties, provided in the bill, will be operative.
