To a representative of The Daily Chronicle, who called upon him to learn something of bis hopes and plans for the future, he gave a brief outline of his movements.
First of all, one was naturally anxious io know when he intended to retum to the scene of his political work, and what he intended to do when he got there.

"This being the position, you readily under stand that wherever I go into China it is only by means of an effective disguise. No, do not ask me to go into details. I shall be going to China avain very shortly, and to make such things public would be to enormously impede my movements. Once in a place like Canton, however, the rest is easy. The population is so large that one is lost among the millions.
"But even so, in 1901, Yeung Ku Wan, the most ardent patriot, was shot la Gage-street, Hongkong. by assassini employed by the Chinese Government.

opaque to the rays in question the pitiless search of the Customs official could be defeated. But the widest interest of all was aroused by the thought that these wonderful rays might prove effective in the treatment of tumour and the like; and thousands breathed more freely when they heard that the application of the rays seemed to have cauterised wounds of a malig. naat type. There hapes were not destined to be fulfiled, though much has been done, and in all probability much will yet be done, to apply for the benefit of the patient the anodyne influence of the rays. Even if the disease may not be cured, it is something to be thankful for that pain may be relieved or even removed. This desirable end has been effected in cases when the most powerful doses of morphia have failed to ease the torture. The first result of the application of the rays is an increase of local and general metabolic action. general health of the patient is improved when under treatment; indurations and sores grad. wally disappear. Next comes the effect on the cells. The rays theoretically have the power of destroying calls of low resistance without in- jury to the healthy tissue, the condition being that the cells are offered to the rays in sufficient quantity. The cells in the cancer growth be come degenerate, and in many cases change into innocuous fibrous tissue,

Nobody can tell what he can do till he triem. When a thing ought to be done the modern spirit moves us to keep working away at it until it is done. In the face of this idea the "Impossible" vanishes. Where there's a will, there's a way. "If we could but rob cod liver oil of its sickening taste and smell and then combine it with two or thres other ingredients we should possess the best remedy in the world for certain diseases that are now practically. incurable.
