EDISON'S EXPERIMENTS.
New Discoveries Arc Made by Aid of tn
Vacuum Tubes.

Orange, N. J.. Feb. 12-Although
Thomas A. Edison Is not yet ready
to take a photograph of n human brain
by means of his newly discovered vac
um tubes, es,nevertheless he has continued
to pursue his experiments with the new
force in many directions at his labora-
tory here. Today he tested the dis
tance of penetration of the Y rays
through a funnel eight feet long. The
result was not satisfactory after forty
five minutes exposure. but he says that
he will make another attempt at
greater exposure IN the near future.
Mr.. Edison has discovered the inter-
esting facts that aluminium electrodes
after being in use a short time become
hardened or tempered. so that while
at first they are so soft that they can
easily be bent. after a few hours use
they become so hard that ii is impos-
sible to bend them even with the use
of great force. Mr.. Edison thinks that
the hardening is caused by some part
of the material becoming separated
from the aluminium and are projected
through the interstitial molecular
spaces in the glass. He thinks that the
discovery may mean that aluminium is
not simple but a chemical compound.
Mr.. Edison i'm the course of his ex-
periments today discovered that a tube
of low vacuum after being used for some
time got high vacuum, and the process
being continued all the residual disap-
peared. This, he thinks, was caused by
decomposition of the molecules in the
ar, ana that the oxygen uniting with
the aluminium electrodes, caused nv.
drogen to be projected through the
interstitial molecular spaces of the
glass

Mr.. QUAY is A CANDIDATE
Nill Permit His Name to Go Before
the Convention.
IN THE HANDS OF HIS FRIENDS
Reports Verified by The Tribnue's Wash.
inGtOn COrrespondent-iiOw tho News
Is Received Tho Chances Of
Mckinley and Allison.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 12-"I am
In the hands of friends" said Senator
Quay tonight to The Tribune's corre-
spondent, when asked II he were can
didate for the Republican presidential
nomination.
The official announcement of the
senator that his name would be pre-
sented to the ST. Louis convention is the
one subject discussed by politicians
here tonight. The belief that Senator
Quay would only be candidate for
the purpose of securing control of the
solid Pennsylvania delegation to the
convention has given wav to the con-
viction that he is now bona fde cam
didate and shat he is in the fight to
win. kilograms of cOngratulatory
character and assuring him of support
are being received by the senator from
all sections of the country, especially
from Pennsylvania.
Quay's candidacy has caused a stam-
pede among the supporters of Speaker
Reed, who have been depending upon
the senator's support for the man
from Maine. The Mckinley people are
also somewhat disconnected as they,
too, had expected to get a portion OF
Pennsylvania's vote.
The phase of the situation most gen.
orally discussed by politicians Is Sena-
tor Quay's chances for securing the
solid delegation from Pennsylvania.
The prediction is freely made that in
the face of the universal sentiment in
the state that those districts hereto
fore counted against him will fall into
line and support him.
Tonight Senator Quay had several
callers, among them Senator Elkins. of
West Virginia. While Senator Elkins
refused to be interviewed, it is believed
he will regard Senator Quay favorably
as a presidential candidate.

TRAFFIC OF THE SUEZ.
Signs That Great Britain's Oriental
Trade Is Falling Oft.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Last year the
Suez Canal company's receipts were
larger than ever, though the number
of ships passing through the canal was
eighteen less than during the preceding
year. The increase in receipts Is ex-
planned by the special traffic caused
by the Chino-Japanese war and the
Madagascar and Abyssinian cam
paigns.
AS usual. Great Britain was the prin-
cipal user Of the great waterway. but
United States COnsul-General Penfield
says II is significant that she had six
ty-four fewer vessels than in the pre-
ceding year. while Germany. making a
determined fight for Oriental trade, had
eighteen more, and the increase of
ninety vessels in the French traffic
cannot be explained by wars. OF 3.IS4

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 12.-The Uni
ted Press Is able tonight to announce
positively that Senator Quay, of Penn
sylvanip, has consented to permit MS
name to go be iore the Republican con-
yention at St Louis. The senator is
now in the hands of his friends. and his
prominence as factor in the race will
depend upon their efforts. Ii Is under
stood that the senator has full knowl-
edge of the statement thus made pub
lie.
For several days he has. been be-
sieged by his friends and the members
of the delegation from his state to per-
nit them to announce him as their can
didate but thus far he has declined to
give his consent. After considering
the matter carefully. that consent was
given this afternoon and Mr. Quays

ants throughout the state We're doubt
