Edison,s Latest.

ORANGE, N. j., Feb. 14.-As a re
suit of the experiments which Thomas
Alva Edison has been making for the
past two weeks with fuorescent tubes
and Roentgen rays, that inventor an
nounced tonight that within twenty
four hours he expected to have so far
perfected his tubes as to be able to
make snap shot photographs through
any substance of medium thickness
except steel or iron.
Mr.. Edison today succeeded in get
ting clearly defined images Of strips
of various metals on a sentsitiZed
plate The rays had penetrated a
heavy piece of cardboard and Yul-
canized plate holder In getting to the
plate in seven seconds. Mr.. Edison
also tried today to send the "X'' rays
over a telephone wire, but the trial
was unsuccessful as have been all
other experiments made by the "wiz-
ard' to reflect or concentrate the
mysterious etheric vibrations.
"Roentgen's theories seem to be cor
rect in every particular" said Mr..
Edison, land there is little doubt if
these rays are really i'm the ether. or that
he has discovered a new form for
energy in the same category with light
heat and electricity. AS a matter of

tain vibration and any force contain
ing the same vibration affects all
classes of matter tuned to that parttc-
ular key. The attempts To anticipate
results with these rays have develop
ed some absurd and ridiculous sug-
gestions, but that Roentgen's discovery
opens the way to wonderful insights
into natures secrets is true notWith-
standing" MS
The inventor said tonight, he was
nearly ready to attempt his expert
ment of photographing a human brain,
and that after he had done that he
would stop his experiments and leave
further developments for others. Mr.
Edison denied that he intends to try
an experiment in the line of temper
ing metals with the rays, at least al
present.

CHICAGO. Feb. 14.-Louis Burkart, a
young Frenchman, is grateful for the
discovery of cathode rays. In an opera
pital last night, the value Of the great
discovery was demonstrated.
The young Frenchman came to Amer
lea two years ago. Buried in the tissues
of his hand was ball which he had re
ceived in street fight in Paris. The
Mercy hospital operation last night was
not the first time Burkhart had sub
iected himself to the surgeons knife, but
each time the attempt to locate the bull
let had been unsuccessful. But the pho
tograph of the hand taken yesterday by
means of the cathode rays located the
leaden ball with wonderful accuracy
With the print as a guide the surgeon
made an incision in the palm of the
hand and within a few minutes probing
extracted the little missile from its two
years resting place. This is the second
instance within two days that the Roent-
gen discovery has been put to practical
service in surgery in this city.

But is this really the fact at the

fifty years ago, and are showing the

Maher,s EYen.

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 14.-Peter Maher S
eyes were triIe better this morning,
but there is no telling whether he will be
able to enter the ring on Monday. The
opinions of physicians differ, some main
tanning that he viii be out in three days
and others giving him at least a week to
remain in his room. Even if Maher
should be able to enter the ring on Mon
day he will not be able to do himself
justice. He has been practically out of
training for a week.
Maher is greatly worried lest the public
think the sore eyes are a subterfuge to
enable him to avoid going into the ring.
Anybody seeing the mans present condi-
ton could not entertain such an idea for
an instant. He is not only utterly IN
able to see but SO helpless that he cannot
care for himself. Connolly, his trainer,
said this morning;
If Peter rounds to by Monday there
will be a fight, as far as we are concern
ed. We are sure our man can win even
II he has been compelled to let UP in
training"
Stuart says he is ready to pull off the
fight any time when the men are ready.
The spot where the battle ground is to
be is still secret. Everybody thinks it
would have been in Mexico off the line of
the Southern Pacific road, anywhere from
so to 100 miles east of Ell Paso. Condi-
tons may arise, it is claimed, that will
permit it to come off at Juarez without
interference, but this Is not likely
Peter Maher was taken back to Las
Cruises this morning. An oculist accom-
panied the pugilist. There seems to be
little less Inflammation this morning" DR..
White said after looking at the eyes.
''Maher may be able to enter the ring on
Monday
Six Texas rangers kept guard at
Makers room last night. Fitzsimmons
came over from Juarez to the theatre
