EY T4E CATHOLIC RAYS.
OF OBI cts Behind Opaque
g.Odie..

From the Washington Post.
Prof. A. w Wright. who occupies the
chair of experimental physics at 1ale
university. and is in charge OF the sloan
Physical Laboratory, has, according 10
the Evening Posts New Haven corre-
spondence made successful experiments
recently in protographing objects behlnd
opaoue bodies by the agency of cathode
rays. i'm which Prof. w. G. Roentgen OF
Wurzburg Germany. has been reported
to have achieved remarkable results.
Prof Wright used in his experiments
tube i'm which the exhaustion Is carried
TO so high a point that the tension OF
the gas left in the tube is measured by a
few millionths of ordinary atmospheric
uressure-the so-called Crookes tube ana
connected with the poles of an induction
coil in action The discharge from the
negative electrode, which, IL must be en-
phasized, are non-luminants.
Prof Wrights experiments were maze
with a great variety of substances, and 1t
was found that strong impressions were
obtained upon a Photographic plate, even
when IL was enclosed in an opaque wrap
ming of black paper and covered with a
pine board half an inch thick. IL was
evident at the outset that the order OF
Transparency of different subjects for the
light rays was We different from that
which is found with the cathode rays.
Thus pieces of glass were more opaque TO
these rays than some of the metals or
than ebonite, which is perfectly opaque
TO luminous rays, but transmits the CATH
ode rays with great freedom.
Among the metals aluminium is espe-
cially distinguished and in one of the
experiments of Prof. Wright an alumni
mum medal left its impression on the
plate so cleary as to show both the de-
sign and lettering In this latter case the
layer between the medal and the sensitive
plate was absolutely Opaque ebonlte,
which is the substance used by photog-
raphers to darken completely the plate
holder.
In other experiments, which were made
by Prof Wright with pine board inter-
posed a closed paper box, containing
aluminium grain weights, left trace
upon the plate which appeared as though
the box was almost transparent and the
weights themselves almost translucent.
An ordinary lead pencil, lying near the
box upon the interposed board, showed
its graphite core by a darker trace in the
middle of the fainter impress OF the wood
of the pencil.
Another paper box contained, imbedded
I'm cotton, three small spheres, one or
platinum, one of brass and one of alumni
mum. In this case also the box and the
cotton appeared so nearly transparent as
to leave but a slight impression on the
plate The brass and the platinum
spheres intercepted a large portion of the
cathode rays, the aluminium sphere a
much smaller proportion. A number Of
American coins-silver, copper and nickel
produced strong impressions.
The German ministry of war has Just
completed a series of successful expert
rrents with the discovery by Prof. Roent-
gen of Vienna of a new method of apply
ing photography to surgery and medicine,
etc, with the view of making use of 1t in
war surgery.

A HOT PLACE TO LIVE IN.
1t Ii on tho Coast of Persia and Discounts
the Famous Red Sea.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The hottest region on the earths
surface is on the southwestern coast
of Persia. on the border of the Per-
sian gulf.
For 40 consecutive days in the
months of July and August the mer-
curry has been known to stand above
100 degrees in the shade night and day
and to run up as high as $50 degrees
in the middle of the afternoon. Al
Bahrein, in the center of the most tor
rid part of this most torrid belt, as
though 1t were natures intention to
make the place as unbearable as pos
sible, water from wells is something
unknown Great shafts have been
sunk to a depth OF 100, 200, 800 and even
200 feet but always with the same re-
sult-no water. This serious drawback
Notwithstanding, a comparatively nu-
rnerNous population contrives TO i've
there, thanks TO copious springs which
burst forth from the bottom OF the
pulf more than a mile from the shore.
The water from these springs is OBJ
tanned IN a most curious and novel
manner. "Machadores" (divers), whose
sole occupation Is that OF furnishing
the people of Bahrein with the lre-
giving fluid, repair to that portion OF
the gulf where the springs are sit
mated and bring away with them hun
dreds of bags full of the water each
day. The water of the gulf where the
snrings burst forth is nearly 2bO feet
deep, but these machadores manage 10
nu their goatskin sacks by diving to
the bottom and holding the mouths OF
the bags over fountain jets-this, too.
without allowing the salt water Of the
gulf to mix with 1t. The source OF
shese submarine fountains is thought
TO be in the hills of Osmond, 400 or
500 miles away. Being situated at the
bottom of the gulf it is a mystery how
they were ever discovered, but the fact
remains that they have been known
since the dawn of history.

What France DID.

When IT comes to subscribing 10 a
popular loan. France holds the record;
I'm comparison with what was sub
scribed in the cities Of France, about
quarter of a century ago, the offers
made yesterday to Mr.. Carlisle are a
bagatelle.
When Germany had crushed the en-
pire. the demand on France was the
cession of Alsace. "A part Of Lorraine.
Strasburg, Metz and other territory
and, in addition, the payment To Ger
many Of a war indemnity Of five thou
sand million francs-say one thousand
million dollars. One-fifth of this money
was payable practically on sight, the
balance within three years This in
demnity fund was a large reduction
from the money penalty which Ger
many had proposed at first TO impose,
1t was also stipulated that the evacua-
ton OF French territory was TO keep
pace with the payments of the indem-
nifty. in such way that. after the pay
ment Of two-fifths of it, only six de-
partments were to be held by German
soldiers.
When peace came France was utterly
Frustrated. The war had proved to be
ruinous. the country was without a
government the paralysis seemed COM
plete. Then Adolph Theirs appeared
on the scene. A few months before, he
had earnestly protested against war
with Germany, and he promptly be-
came the most hated man in France
he stood alone. But when the wreck he
had predicted was complete, Theirs, Ike
a lonely pilgrim, made the round of the
courts of Europe. bespeaking sympathy
for his country and invoking considera-
ton for her in the dire necessity OF the
hour. For the payment Of the first levy
of two-fifths of the loan, Theirs, who
was afterwards elected president of the
new republic, contracted loan Of
about $500, 900, 900. That was in June,
1871. Eleven months later he made a
loan for the remaining three-fifths, thus
paying the debt and Kidding France OF
German soldiers many months ahead of
the stipulated time.
The memorable record is that, in
those trying times. when the first loan
was opened France subscribed seven
and one-half milliard francs, Instead
of the two and one-half milliards called
for: for the second loan three milliard
francs were wanted and forty-one mil
lizards were offered. That is TO say
about a year after the war and a few
months after the taking up of the first
loan. in July 1872 the government asked
for six hundred million dollars and the
French people offered in spot cash tc
loan to France s., 200, OOO, OOO-more than
! eight billion dollars!

Mr.. Carl Sle's Fun DIS

For MIR. Carlslo's popular loan sub
ecriptions flowed in freely. There never
was question as To the countrys ahil-
fly to take up this loan or one many
fold greater The only query was
whether the loan would be popular at
the low rate OF interest offered by the
Eovernmont-as a rule money in this
country can be placed at higher rates.
especially in view Of the fact that the
bonds were sure 20 go at a premium
1t appears that the offers TO the treas
ury department were about five and
one-half times the amount Mr.. Carlisle
called for. Some Of the bids were for
large amounts. these offers coming
from bankers who probably figure on
placing the bonds abroad at a profit

with which bids came in. an evidence
of what the people Of this country will

An Astounding Plea.

The republicans in the senate are
sadly in need Of men. and the indica-
tons are that they are going to get
one man at least. The republican ma
iority in the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections reports in favor Of
seating Mr.. Dupont, Of Delaware.
The Delaware trouble was due chief
" to the fact that Addicks, Of un-
savory name. got the state legislature
into confusion in his determination TO
capture the senatorship by fair means

died. Watson. the president of the SEN
ate, who had been a member of the SEN
ate. became acting governor" 1T ap-
pears that. after this duty fell TO him.
Watson's name had never been men
TONED on any motion or roll call. But
he finally took his place in the sem
ate and thus Dupont was elected. The
question Is whether Watson had cCas-
ed to be senator.
This question is one which should be
settled within the jurisdiction Of Della
ware, but the senate committee has
a republican majority and has voted
in favor Of seating Dupont, the demo-
cratic minority opposing that plan. It

PEOPLES PARTY WALL.
Chairman Washburn Makes State
ment Regarding the Situation
Viewed from His Standpoint.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The following state
ment of the presidential situation was
issued tonight by Chairman Washburn,
of the Chicago headquarters, Peoples
Party committee:
To the voters of the United States: Our
facilities for receiving the election re-
turns are equal to any. We know from
private advices and the returns up to
date that Mckinley is not elected. On the
other hand the latest returns justify our
claim that Mr.. Bryan Is elected.
1t is one Of the peculiarities Of the Re-
hlIblican enterprise that they always
claim everything in sight few hours
before election. In 1876 as well as in 1881,
1t was not known for three or four days
which candidate had won. Although the
early returns indicated Republican sue
cess, Democratic followed. Again. four
years ago, the early returns favored Har-
rison's election, while the subsequent
ones elected Cleveland. This year the
early returns favored Mckinley because
they came from the eastern and middle
states, and from the cities of other states,
while the returns from the south and
west were withheld so as-to stampede
public sentiment that Mckinley was
elected. whether he was or not, and thus
create sentiment in advance which would
operate to his advantage in case the
election was contested, while on the
other hand, had the first returns an
nounced Bryan's success, and q contest
resulted there would be an uprising Of

the people through fear or repetition
of the Tilden episode.
We have positive evidence that the
Republican national committee has hired
their state committees to claim certain
states which are in doubt We shall
soon vigorously press the question. VIZ:
1 f il Is not for the purpose of manipulat-
ing them, why are they held back? We
want the American people to be patient
and calm and to wait for the official re-
turns and pay no attention to the false
reports sent out by manipulating COM
mittees.
The will Of the people will never again
be defeated through the manipulation of
returning boards to capture the presi-
dency. The political crime of 1876 will
be resisted II repeated.
The returns this evening indicate that
Mr.. Bryan will carry all OF the states
west Of the Missouri and south Of the
Potomac, which include Maryland and
Delaware, making 2S9 electora votes.
Delaware is still in doubt. but are sure
of one elector, which makes 210. Added
to this Michigan's IA votes or Indiana s
Is votes and 1t insures Bryan's election.
The returns from both of these states
show positive gains for Bryan in all Of
the suburban districts.
