HEART BEATS TO Be SEEN.
important scientifc Discovery in
h Roeutpen

eNaS4AahhS blbtOSCh III
the Hoeutgen Process.
New York. Feb. H.-Edward p.
Thompson, a consulting electrical engt-
teer, who has been experimenting with
Prof. Roentgen's discovery, said that he
had discovered a process whereby mo-
ton. otherwise Invisible, might be OBJ
served with the use OF the new X rays.
The movements of a watch can he OBJ
served through the case, and the opera
ton OF the interior organs of a living
human being or an animal be made vis-
ible.
The value of such a discovery to the
science Of surgery and medicine may
be Imagined from the claim of the in
ventor. hen it is said that with ii the
action of the heart and the digestion OF
food car be observed,
IN the process as carried out by
Roentgen. the effect of the cathode rays
after passing through opoaue objects
must be developed by photography, and
therefore q great deal of time is occu-
pied by the exposure and the obtaining
of the picture" said Mi. Thompson.
BY my process it is intended tina OBJ
jects ordinarily invisible may be exam
med instantly. and especially that mo-
ton may be represented to the eye.
Again. with powerful rays it ought
to be possible with this process to see
the action of the muscles and joints
when ones finger is bent: or to be able
TO distinguish a sprain from a break by
moving the arm back and forth; or to
see the circulation of the blood, the
beating of the heart and the motion of
sap in trees and plants and of all other
objects which at present cannot be OBJ
served.
Photography is not used in any con-
nectlon yNth these experiments, and the
figures which you observe are made by
throwing the shadows of the invisible
moving particles by the X rays upon,
pl~atinocyanide in the End of a dark
tube"

CATHODE RAYS IN SURGERY
A Chicago Surgeon Locates n Bullet
in n Mars Hand.

Chicago, Feb. l5.-Louis Eurkart. a,
young Frenchman, Is grateful for the;
discovery of cathode rays. In an opera
tlon performed at Mercy hospital the
value of the great discovery was demons
strated. The yoang Frenchman came
to America two years ago. Buried in
the tissues of his hand was "A bail which
he had received in a street fight in Paris.
The Mercy hospital operation last night
was not the first time Burkart had SUBJ
Jected himself to the surgeons. but each
attempt to locate the bullet had been
unsuccessful. But the photograph of
the hand taken yesterday by means of
che cathode rays locsted the leaden bail,
with wonderful accuracy. With the
print as a guide the surgeon made an
incision in the palm OF the hand, and
after q few minutes probing extracted
the little missile from its two years
resting place. This is the second in
stance within two days In which the
Roentg'en discovery has been put to
practical service in surgery in this city,

LuQuE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The Insurgents, in Retaliation. Shot
Thirty.seycn Spanish Prisoners.

New York, Feb. ia reliable CORE
spondent in Cuba wires, via Key West:
"In clearing up the mystery following
General Luque's battle at Paso Real,
February 8, with Maceo's division, un-
the facts have come out. I have it Of
icially from a Spanish source, and also
from citizens OF Paso Real, who were
eye witnesses of the battle, that the hos
pital was invaded, the wounded rebels
killed, some of them in their beds, and
that When the thirty-seven Spanish
prisoners, taken in the battle outside
the town, were about to be taken away
Bermudez, in retaliation for the butch
cry Of his sick, ordered q line to be
formed and the thirty-seven were PIN
toned and shot.
'Paso Real has been used for seven
teen days us the insurgent hospital.
Maceo had left all his wounded there
when he moved into Havana province
to operate with Gomez. The surround
ing country was free. practically, from
Spanish forces. except Luque's conn
mand in Pinar del Rio City. Maceo
counted upon reaching the wounded
men with protection IL they were threat
ened, and when word came to him that
Luque had left for Paso Real he sent
Bermudez with 1000 cavalry to hold tha
town."
The correspondent then describes the
battle in the streets and cities. The of.
fetal Spanish report that up to this point

Bermudez). we had killed ten insurgents
Later on i'll his repcs.t General Luque
wrote: II had the satisfaction Of seeing at
the end Of the day sixty-two rebels dead
Thirt.-two of the killed. 1t is alleged,
We're slain in the hospital. When Ber-
mudez learned Of this outrage he shot the
Spanish prisoners. as described.
General Luque reports the fight as a
great victory, for the Spanish. school his.
tories, which say that Nelson's fleet was
defeated at Trafalgar. The facts are
that instead OF seventeen Spaniards being
killed. as alleged, the number was much
greater. An officer in Luque's command,
writing to his mother In Havana, con-
fessed that I'VE buried on the field 167 OF
our own dead."

This sun is $1,000 less than is really needed

PouNCED ON A REPORTER.
Representative Ntetert of Linn Has
a Row With Frank Bicknell.

Des Moines. Feb. 15.-A highly sensa-
tional encounter took place yesterday
between Representative Nietert of Linn
and F. w. Bicknell, a reporter for a To-
cal paper, which might have resulted
seriously for the scribe had not bystand-
ers interfered. The member was re-
ferred to on the authority of Represen-
tative Funk as "the granger chairman
of the banking committee. who had no
more sense than to tax banks. Funk
r%epudiated the statement, and the re-,
porter reluctantly admitted that he had
misrepresented the member from Linn.
whose ire nearly p~recipitated a collision
that reminded the old members of the
Finn-Belvel affair OF four years ago.
Hardly had the reporter escaped from
the wrath of Mr.. Nietert han he was
confronted by a new danger in the per-
son of Representative Reed, whom he
had charged with copying his school
bill from the Minnesota statutes. The
member from Story, however, confined
himself to a mere tongue flashing.

in New Orleans.

in New Orleans.
New Orleans, La, Feb. 1s.-with the
advent of Mardi Gras day, the spirit OF
reNelry is at its height. The weather is
all that could be desired, the streets are
full of merrymakers and masking is
general. The daylight pageant of Rex,
King of the Carnival. and his consort,
with their escorts and retinue, was a
brilliant affair. the various floats being
even more gorgeous and artistic in de-
sign than in previous years. Thousands
of visitors from outside states. Il large
proportion being from eastern IL mid
die states cities, including the First
regiment, Minnesota National guard.
and King Ki-Ki and his "kourt" of Kan

the procession.
Preceding and following the royal
parade great hilarity was created by the
professions of the comic Priority Phunny
Phellows and other organizations. To-
night the Mystic Krewe of Comus will
have its outdoor pageant, followed by
the grand reception of the king and
queen of the carnival and the ball of
Comus at the French opera house, of all
the festivities of Mardi Gras week this
latter function being the most enjoyable.
1t Is the elite affair of the carnival, and
Its invitations are sought with great
eagerness.
The invitations this year are most
handsome and unique bits of designing.
The ball proper. at which the extremes
of full dress are exacted and at which
only ladies are allowed to be seated, Is
preceded by the tableauX of the cos
tuned maskers as they come from the
floats of the street parade, When the
first notes of the old time southern
lanciers are heard each masker d%eseends
from the stage and. selecting from the
auditorium the lady of his choice, re-
turns to the front Of the footlights.
where, led by the king and queen, the
figures of the famous dance are gone
through. Later the masks and cos
tunes are abandoned and general rev
elry reigns supreme.

vEROps NEW OPERA.
Its Theme Has Been Selected From
ShakesDeare's sTemDest,,

Sbakespeare's "Tempest."
New York, Feb. 1s.-Nictor Maurel will
probably not return to New York next sea-
son. One reason he assigns for his is that
Verdi is anxious to AVE him sing the part
of Culiban in a version of the Tempest"
which Maurel says Verdi has almost COM
pleted.
Boito, Maurel says, has written the
lfbretto, and in a letter received from Ner-
di last week the composers were notified
that the play would be ready for produc.
ton at la Scala by next February. IT
Maurel does not return to sing in the com.
pany at the Metropolitan Opera house.
and decides not to take part In the new
work of Verdi, he may return here to sing
III concert.
When Falstaff was first given" Maurel
said the other day, that meant for me
thirty-nine days and nights Of rehearsal
and there is no likelihood hat the work OF
preparation for the new opera will be less
arduous 1t Is the thought of that which
makes me hesitate to accept the Offer
1t has often been denied that Verdi was
engaged oil q new work. When
Maurel came to New York last
season he said tina the
veteran composer, who was born in 1917.
was at work on q successor to 'Falstaff,' -
and that Shakespeare's Tempest had
been selected as the story of the opera.
