veloped negative shout of JOY went up
from the interested bystanders, and Pro-
fessor Cory was heard TO remark, "Well,
now l know that can do most anything
with the Tesla tube" Upon this he went
back to his laboratory and began again
the work of determining the relative util-
ity of certain tubes which were on
hand, with the view to making further
Photographic impressions. An hour was
spent in Illuminating the new tubes. In
some of them the yellow and violet
fluorescence was most beautiful. 1t re-
minded one of a brilliant pyrotechnic dis
play on clear, dark night, The room
was darkened and all that could be seen
was the brilliantly illuminated bulbs on
the sheet iron apparatus, with an occa-
sional spark of electricity from the regu-
lator. Professor Cory was more than
pleased with the workings of the new
Tesla coil. He said: "The coil which
Mr.. Lohman, the student in mechanics,
has made is the best ever saw and has
been of material assistance to US in making
our experiments.
The work OF further attempting to locate
the origin of the X-ray will be continued
on Monday

A Dozen of the Wonderful Pho

Great Success.
PROFESSOR CORY is PLEASED.
Expects TO Finally Demonstrate the
Origin of the Ray by the
Shadow It Casts.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 29.-Not-
v1thstanding the fact that Saturday after
noon is ordinarily a holiday for all State
employees. Professor Cory, Mr.. LIE Conte,
heinstructor in mechanics, and Mr.. Lob
man, besides their corps of assistants, spent
the entire day in the effort to cast addi-
tional light on the tests already made as
to the origin of the wonderful, penetrating
raw. So deeply interested in the work
were some of the experimenters that they
did not take time to eat their monday
luncheon until o'clock in the afternoon.
As to the results of their work no more
definite proof as to the source of the ray
was secured than that of several days
ago, but from tue fact that the indications
point so strongly toward the theory
held by Lodge, Porter and Hicks, Pro-
fessor Cory is constrained to believe
that he has found out the question
which has been such puzzle to scientists
since the discovery By DR.. Roentgen of the
magic ray. 1t has long been known that
the cathode ray produces positive electrif-
cation on the first solid which il strikes.
1t seems that the X-rays, therefore, are
produced on the solid, which is thus posi-
lively electrified. Since metals are good
conductors they seem to give out the
create number of X-rays. "All that l can
state positively with regard to the matter" !"
said Professor Cory to-day, sis that the
theory which l have mentioned seems to
hold true. | should like to be able to
speak more definitely. but just at present
/ am unable to say any more than that it
seems to be the correct one"
At least dozen photographs were taken
to-day by means of the Tesla coil. and the
Crookes tube with single connections.
Some were overexposed, and some under
exposed, but in others distinct shadows of
the objects intended to be reproduced were
cast on the plate.
The device used in the attempt to deter
mine the origin of the ray is simple in the
extreme. A thin piece of white cedar
large enough to cover the greater portion
of an ordinary plateholder is selected, and
in it are driven rows of small nails so as to
stand perfectly upright. The board with
the nails is then placed on the face of the
plateholder, which in turn is fixed in a
stationary position directly opposite the
point where the ray is supposed TO have
its origin. The electric fluid Is turned on
and permitted to run until an impression
of the shadows cast by the nails is made
upon the Photographic plate. inst as we
are able to locate the position of the sun
by the shadows cast from objects upon
which its rays are directed so do the exper-
imenters believe that they will be able to
locate the source Of the Roentgen ray by
the shadow it casts
"The source, however" says Professor
Cory, depends upon the tubes and the
shape of the electrodes. In other words,

VALLEY ROAD SOUVENIR.
An Elegant Book Giving the
History of the Project
Up to Date.
ProfuSely Illustrated With Half.Tone
Portraits of Prominent
Citizens.

AS a souvenir of California enterprise
that stands to-day as the only one of any
magnitude ever inaugurated and success
fully carried on in the face of the opposi-
ton of the hitherto all-powerful Southern
Pacific monopoly there has been issued
from the establishment of the Wheeler
Publishing Company a handsome volume,
profuseIy and elegantly illustrated, en-
titled THE Valley Road"
This volume in its 224 pages of heavy
supersized and calendered paper tells in
brief the salient features in the history of
the Traffic Association, the League of
Progress, the North American Navigation
Company, the Merchants Shipping Asso-
citation and of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley Railway.
AS frontispiece it has full-page half
tone portrait of Claus Spreckels, who
with his muni6cent subscription of half a
million dollars, together with those of his
sons, John d. Spreckels and A. h.
Spreckels, of 100000 each, made the COM
peting line an immediate possibility
Then scattered through the book on
nearly every page is a half-tone illustra-
ton of one or more of the most promising
and enterprising men of this City and
Stockton, and more particularly of those
interested in the great railway project,
the place of honor, the page following the
titIe-page, being given up TO the news
paper proprietors OF this City. In the
center of the page is the half-length por-
trait of Charles NJ. Shortridge of the San
Francisco CALL, and this is surrounded by
bust hkenesses of w. r. Hearst, Ex-
aminer; Nj. H. de Young, Chronicle; r.
A. Crothers, Bulletin; William NJ. Bun
ker, Report; and George X. Fitch, for
merly of THE CALL and Bulletin.
Arthur Wheeler, in his preface, briefly,
yet clearly, tells the scope and purpose of
the work. He says:
''It will be the object of this history TO
show how the people of California have at

the X-ray may come from the anode, or
the glass, or any solid upon which the
cathode rays impinge the tube. Many
experimenters have found that in the par
ticular tube they have used the X-rays
seem to emanate from the anode, while
others have found that they came from
the fiuorescent glass. All these various
methods of tracing the X-ray by means of
photography with differently shaped
tubes have been tried at the university,
but the one theory that the rays seem to
be sent out, not from the cathode, but
from the solid that receives the negative
charge from the cathode, seems to be the
most palpable."
Late this afternoon photograph was
taken of the piece of board in which the
nails were driven, and upon being developed
showed much more clearly than any yet
taken that the ray must emanate from the
solid that receives the negative discharge
from the cathode. When Instructor Le
Conte came out of his Photographic dark
room holding in his hand the newly de.

Commerce of the Great Lake.

The commerce of the Great Lakes is rap
idly exceeding the American commerce on
the ocean. The number OF vessels now
contracted for or building for 1896 is sixty
five, with a valuation of $3.50 900. Of
these forty-two are freight boats, with a
capacity of 1366O0 gross tons. The coast
ship-building for the year will be only 1O5
vessels, with a total valuation of Sc, ,O40, 400,
and most of these are passenger or pleasure
boats. In the river yards twenty -four ves-
sells are being constructed to cost $537 $50
The largest vessel planned in the coast
yards is 4S0 feet long, while the smallest of
the lake freighters is 326 feet in length.
These figures, of course, do not include the
work in the many yards. 1t is evident that
the Great Lakes are to furnish the traffic
route of the future from the interior, and,
with a ship canal to the Atlantic Coast,
which must eventually be constructed, the
next generation will see their waters COW

various times and in divided groups en-
deavored to extend and free their COM
merce from the control of a great monop-
oily, and now it was not until they were at
last united, led by men whom they could
trust, that they were able to make head
against the otherwise invincible corpora
ton.
This, however, is but the history of all
popular struggles against vested preroga-
tive and entrenched capital. There must
be deep feeling among the masses and
there must be the strong, inspiring leader
ship to direct the movement.
Much of this feeling has been worked
up III the case of California railroad fight
by the aid of the great San Francisco
dallies, whose constant support to any
movement looking to the liberation of the
people has held UP the hands of our mer-
chants and made possible the success of
the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
Railway"
Among other features of the volume are
com mplete lists of all the citizens of Stock
ton and San Francisco who have sub
scribed to the stock of the railway.

Camera Club Exhibit.

AT the urgent request of the many friends of
the California Camera Club, the print COM
mittee have decided to keep the annual print
exhibition open to the public for another week.
Although many have visited the rooms, still
the unsettled state of the weather kept others
away, and TO give all an opportunity to attend
the exhibition viii be open from March 80 to
April 4, between the hours of 10 A. NJ. and
P. NJ.
There were a very large number of visitors
present last evening to view the annual print
exhibition. Among them were w. Street. J. G.

about the hands. Once she grasped the
blade and as he jerked it away it cut her
fingers TO the bone. Finally in despair
she threw herself down beside the old
fashioned four-post bedstead and crawled
beneath. Even there the Malay followed
and the gushing spurts of life blood there
tell of the struggle. At least, however,
she jerked herself loose, crawled out on
the other side of TIE bed and fed down
stairs. A gapingI wound, twelve inches
long, extending from two inches below the
right ear down and across the chest to the
center of her breast, let ont her life.
During the struggle the girl screamed
repeatedly. Mrs. Rodgers, who lives in
an adjoining house, heard, but could not
locate the cries. Alf Lewis, an employe,
asleep in an adjoining room, was awak-
ened, but before he could dress the tragedy
was complete.
The sadness of the affair is increased by
the fact that the dead girl was engaged to
be married, and when attacked was low
ingly fondling her bridal finery. Her
fiance is Captain Fritz Flath of the bark
Ceylon, which plies between this port and
Honolulu in the sugar trade. This is Cap
tain Flaths first trip as captain. he hav-
