The herald., 1896-10-07

pointed this morning and many who
called during the day. Among the out
of-town visitors were DR.. Taylor Of San
ia Barbara, known in medical circles for
O generation past as the author OF Varl-
GUS treaties upon psychological sub
jects Prof. T. s. G. Lowe of Pasadena,
Edward G. Beeson, M. D., of Chicago,
and DR.. Hunt of San Bernardino, ac-
companied by DR.. Maynard of this city.
The wires are now connected and the
apparatus adjusted in its new quarters
ready for its important and charitable
work tomorrow morning. Doctors day
for this and following will be announced
later.
The Herald's X-ray apparatus does
its best work with an alternating cur
rent; that used in the editorial building,
while it produces lights more brilliant
than the ordinary incandescents of this
city, is run by direct current.
For the benefit of the unlearned in
matters electrical, we will explain that
there Is no current at all to electricity,
but for the sake of mortal mental grasp
of the action of this invisible disembod-
led, irnmaterial force it is always spoken
of as If 1t were fluid flowing along and
around the outside of wire. Just exact
ly as water flows along inside OF a pipe,
except that you turn the idea inside out.
And q D. c., or direct current, goes
ahead steadily in one direction, while an
alternating current surges forward and
back with such tremendous rapid1ty
that for electro mechanical purposes 1T
Is practically constant steady, for-
ward motion. For the altitudinous po-
tentiality of the Crookes tubes 1t Is bet
ter,than the direct current.

In order that this may be done syste-

No x-ray photography will be em-
