ound that the violet rays were the ger
nicide rays.
When the laboratory experiments OF
the German scientists brough out the
TACT that the new cathode light showed
The same chemical composition as the
violet rays of sunshine the medical men
knew what this discovery meant. They
knew that at last they had within their
grasp light which can penetrate to
The interior organs of the human body,
and carry along with 1t the power to de-
stroy the microbes of disease.
This is what the physicians of Lon
ion and Berlin are now earnestly OK
oerimenting to prove.
If this marvellous cathode light,
which pierces clothes and flesh
(but not bones), still carries along
through the outer covering of the body
the germicide rays of sunlight-if, in
other words, the mere flooding of the
lungs with the new cathode light de-
stroys the germs of tuberculosis-then
the cure of consumption has been
round
II the penetrating flashes of the ca
node light can illuminate the bowels
with chemical ray deadly to the chol-
era bacillus-then cholera is disease
40 longer to be feared!
If the fevered blood vessels and arter-
les which burn with the bacilli of ty-
plus, typhoid or scarlet fever can be
dushed with the germicide rays of the
cathode light--then these diseases are
within the easy grasp of modern
science.
With the entire world of science and
medicine concentrating its skill and in
genuity on the possibilities of the new
cathode light, no one can foretell What
he laboratory experiments of Europe
and America will bring forth.

That steel barrel, through which an in
cessant flash streams like a continuous
streak of lightning, melting or explod-
ing everything near it, passes through
water. 1t is all the while immersed in
water-that is, incased in what is called
the water jacket" so that the gun,
like a good soldier, keeps COOL while
doing its most deadly work. Thus 1t is
that the man at the gun is master of the
situation and need not run away, even
II he is attacked by a regiment, unless
1t comes upon him by surprise and
takes him at close quarters or some
villainous sharpshooter picks him off
before he gets to business. Let the
regiment keep at respectful distance
and give the brave fellow chance, and,
indeed, let the enemy be ever SO numer-
Gus, if they will only stand up like

A workman in mine who had
played cricket in his time once saved
his life by making good catch. He
was standing at the bottom of the shaft
waiting for buclSetful of dynamite
sticks that were being lowered to him.
The bucket was we'll on its way down
when he saw it strike against some OBJ
stacle and turn partly over. Out fell
one of the sticks. He watched it fall
ing in zigzag course-a messenger of
instant death. When it struck the hard
bottom there would be tremendous
explosion and dead miner. But it
did not strike the hard bottom. Like
player on the field the workman put
up his hands and caught the stick with
that easy swing of the arms that criRet-
ers acquire.

ously begun experiments upon the most
astonishing theory which has ever star
tied the scientists of the great capitals
1t is believed that in the wonderful
cathode light invented by Professor
Roentgen lies the perfect cure of dis
eases which have hitherto resisted the
tireless efforts of medical science
If the theory of these doctors is COR
rect, the cure for consumption, cholera,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid and
typhus fever and smallpox is at last
discovered.
While eXperir. enting and testing the
powers of the new cathode light, the
Berlin scientists found that its rays
possessed many of the properties Of
sunlight, BY spectrum analysis 1t was
proved that the cathode rays registered
q strong violet-stronger than the violet
rays of sunlight.
Professor Marshall Hall, the eminent
British scientist, proved long ago that
rays of sunlight destroyed the germs of
disease The deadly microbes of the
most fatal maladies we're killed by ex-
posture to the suns rays. Experiment

An Art Gnllerx Experiment.

An interesting experiment is now in
progress in South Kensington museum
1t relates to showing pictures under ar
tificial light without changing the
color Capt. Abney has so arranged it
that the most important actinic rays
of light are excluded. 1t is on the prin-
ciple that while the rays which cause
the paintings to fade are excluded
the effect of white light is OBJ
tanned. The method adopted is the
closing of skylight with alter
nate layers of green, blue and yellow
glass. Visiting artists declare that
the pictures exhibited under this light
are seen in their true colors. The pub
lie has not the least idea that there is
any difference between the lighting of
this and that of any other gallery. The
experiment is being tried in what is
known as the Raphael cartoon gallery.

THE WONDERFUL MAXIM GUN
Every Time 1t Kicks a New Cartridge
Goea In.


Goes In.
The following description of the Max
i'm gun, taken from an account by DR..
Henry M. Field of visit to the in
ventor, contributed to the Evangelist,
NIw York, Get. 10, is reproduced here
for the powerful and vivid impression
it gives of Maxim's remarkable engine
of destruction:
His (Mr. Maxims) special pct, his
daily" is the marvellous gun that does
not fire single shots but literally rains
bullets as the elements in their fury
rain hailstones. 1t is a light affair to
look at, having the appearance Of a
small brass cannon, mounted on tri-
pod and aimed and worked by one man.
who sits behind it on saddle like that
of bicycle, from which he can point 1t
up and down with as much case as II it
we're pistol or swing it to the right or
left as an enemy approaches from one
or another quarter.
But how is the gun loadod?" All,
here is the beauty of it; it loads itself!
The originality of the invention lies in
this, that it utilities the recotl, so that
las the cartridges are strung on belt.
that carries from $50 to 400 rounds
every kick of the gun throws out the
exploded cartridge on one side of the
gun and on the other throws the next
cartridge into place, so that the dis
charge is incessant. You have only to
press the button and the gun does the
rest. AS long as you keep your finger
on the button the firing goes on the gun
throwing eleven mimic bullets Sec
ond 666 minute!
But not so fast" hear some one
say who has made a study of firearms
Don't you know that this incessant fir
ing would heat the gun so that 1t would
explode and do more destruction at the
rear end than at the muzzle?" Oh, yes
gentle critic, I know all this and am
glad you spoke of it, as it gives me
occasion to point out one more con-
trivance of this marvellous machine

he was technically guilty. He had
sought to save a woman from
beating at the hands of her hus-
band, and in the struggle and
excitement he had struck a blow
which caused the death of the man.
1t was accident, in a sense, but 1t was
also manslaughter. No man who is
man will stand by and see woman
beaten, and yet If he interferes he
must take his chances with the law.
Big Tom" as the convict was some
times referred to, was like most big
mem a child in his gentlcness and
good nature He went to prison weep
ing. He did not complain, but he
grieved. He thought of the years and
years which must drag away before
the prison doors would open to him,
and he moved about like weak, old
man. The prison officials felt to pity
the man, but a convict is a convict and
all must be treated alike-all who show
obedience to the rules. They sized him
up as a child-like and good-natured,
and yet they said to each other as they
talked of him:
Look out for Big Tom! He will
break loose some day and do some
desperate thingw
They thought 1t would come during
the first six months of his term-then
during the second-then they almost
became afraid of him. Men who are
slow to anger-who go on grieving,
brooding and bearing a mental burden
for weeks and months are devils when
the climax comes. Big Tom had the
management of the trip-hammer in the
machine shop. Had they put him in
the shoe shop or tailor shop he would
have rebelled at once. His place was
beside the biggest piece of machinery
in the shops. Two pieces of machinery
at 1t were-"Tom and Trip" Day by
day, and week by week, and month by
month, as the ponderous hammer rose
and fell and it's blows shook the very
earth for yards around, making the
convict smile and look proud, the
guards had an eye on him and kept
saying to each other:
1T will come! 1t is only delayed!
When he breaks loose he will kill some
one and have to be killed in turn"
Nearly half of the second year had
passed and the giant convict had never
even sulked, when one day there came
into the shop as sightseers husband
wife and little girl or 5 years old.
Children are seldom seen in prisons,
and 1t is rare thing that they are
taken into the shops in the yards. If
ANY one in that prison knew that con-
Wet No. 1880 had a daughter-a fair
haired, handsome child who could only
walk alone when the jury pronounced
his verdict of guilty" they had for
gotten the fact. His wife had visited
him as often as visitors were allowed,
but the child had never been seen
within the grim walls. Knowing that
her husband had killed a man by &C.

Lung troubles lead to consumption;
loss of flesh, and wasting conditions.
or all the diseases which atiiict the
human race consumption is the most
fatal Its ravages are by no. means
confined to the lungs alone. 1t attacks,
in fact almost every part of the body.
Last year, as proven by the official
records at Washington, over 263, 900
died from consumption in the United
States-representing an average of
1000 every week, and 700 every day;
waste of life that seems incredible.
More than four-iifths of this number
might to-day be living, had they but
known wherein restoration lay, and
made timly use of the only infallible
remedies that have thus far been dis
covered.

whose results have been practically
successful.

process of making cheap substitute
for whalebone. He takes animal skins,
removes the hair by shaving, and, after
immersing them in bath of bichro-

frame to dry. They are then treated
in a bath of bisulphide Of soda or lime
until they are of an olive green color,
again dried and cut into strips.

New York. April demonstrating the
half holiday here and the fact that Lon
don Exchange did not open at all, the
Stock market was fairly active to-day
In addition, the undertone of speculation
was strong, and any number OF the lead
ing issues touched the best figures of the
week. The strength of the market in
the face of tn announcement of prob
able shipment of 100000 g1ld by Tues
days European steamers attracted at
tention. Among the favorable develop
ments may be noted the splendid traffic
returns of the ST. Paul road, and the
advance of % cents per ton in iron made
by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany. Manhattan was quite n bull card,
rising from 1878 to 1895 on reports that
the Company will secure important priv
ileges from the city in connection with
the Brooklyn Bridge traffic. Metropoli-
tan Traction on the other hand fell from
1854 to 102 on the talk about strike
of the companys employees in this city.
Among the Western railways st. Paul,
Rock Island, and Burlington and Qu!n-
cy, were in the best request on reports
that corn is moving freely. St. Paul
rose to 76b. Rock Island l., 72is, and
Burlington TO 1855. Union Pacific and
