The Crooke tube used is arrang-
ed like the lens in an ordinary
camera, the induction coil, that IS,
the wire over which the electricity
passes into the tube running
from a small storage battery ar
ranged in the camera, and at the
rear of the tube. Then over the
end of the tube from which the
heat rays are focused heavy
cloth is thrown in such a manner
as to clearly outline the tubes end,
enabling the operator to focus the
rays without difficulty. Thus it
will be seen that the photograph is
taken through this heavy cloth, as
well as the substance surrounding
the object it is desired to reproduce.
Strictly speaking, radiant heat
rays are by no means a new light,
but Professor Roentgen has, by ex-
pertinent, gained the ability to Sc
cure special rays with which scien-
lists are not familiar.
Thomas a. Edison, in an inter
view, gives substantially to the
story of the wonderful discovery.
He says:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-02-14

"There is nothing impracticable
about this Professor Roentgen's
discovery. and if thegreports con-
corning it are correct, I consider it
one of the most remarkable scien-
tifc discoveries of the age. Its
possibilities may prove almost lim-
itless. 1t is one of those things we
advance with only through expert
ment."

FILTERS.

The report of the execu-
tive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu
reservoirs is suggestive of
something dangerous to
health. 1t also suggests fill
tiers, good filters, something
that will effeCtually separate
the water from mud and filth.
Nature has done much
toward providing the people
with necesSarieS; it has also
done a little toward securing
for the people, Injuries. In
some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu
for instance, it is a necessity,
but the natural filters that are
sold have been much i'm
proved by the ingenuity of
man.
Charcoal is admitted to be
the most thorough purifying
agent known, consequently
Massrs. Slack & Brownlow Sc
leCted it for use in the manu-
facture of their filters. And
we are the agents for this
particular brand of filter in
Honolulu, a sufficient guaran-
tee, by the way, OF the
character of the article.
The latest invoices show
three different, styles of the
S. & B. Filters and these we
have in stock, just opened
| them, in fact, and we
want your attention.
No i, Eve will call it No.
I'D is fitted with a movable
plate, so that when neCes-
sary, the carbon may be taken
out and washed. 1t mas also
a movable lining allow
ing access to every part
lof the interior, which
may be kept perfectly sweet
and clean. 81
No. 2 and ; are provided
with the same convenienCeS
for cleaning as the other, but
they have the important ad-
dition that every part, in
cluding the pure water
chamber, is accessible, Civ
ing them all,he requirements

The price of the S. & b.
filter is below the others.
You should have one, be-
cause it is a necessity.

ELIZABETH CITY, Nov. goth. 1896.
Think They are Well Enough
Known.

The Durham Sun says there
are numbers Of merchants who
seem to think that it is not nec~
essarv to advertise their business.
They act upon the assumption
that people know, or ought TO
know, where they are and what
they sell. Advertising thelr
business, they think, IS an eH>
pense they ought not 10 pc
OBLIGED to incur. This IS very
foolish. The newspaper IS the
best friend of both the merchant
and the customer, ana every
GOOD word It carries from the
former to the latter IS worth
many times what it costs. Ihen'
too, YOU should not expect the
publisher to give away his space
any more than you expect the
merchant to give away his goods.

EXHIBITION HALL.

The Exhibition Hall is thing
of beauty. AS you enter the
main entrance of this mammoth
building you will find just to the
right the handsome gold wire
exhibit of Dennis and Bright.
In the east wing of this building
is the ladies department crowded
with the finest specimens OF
needle work it has ever been our
good fortune to feast our eyes
upon-representing in no small
degree woman's genius, skill and
patience. Everything imagin>
able to show the tokens of
wonan's brains, grace and love
illness, her powers of conception,
her skill in continuing, originat-
ing and designing is to be seen.
Such an exhibition of woman S
work has never been seen at any
county fair.
On the right Of the ladies ex>
hibit is the millinery display of
McCabe & Grice, a firm who is
wide-awake in every particular
and always willing to be repre-
sented in all public enterprises
that is beneficial to Elizabeth
City. To the left of this is a
magnificent millinery display of
Dawson & Benbury, the up to-
date milliners, showing the latest
and most fashionable specimens
in their line. Next comes the
