rays, since they are not cathode rays,
one might suppose from their power of
exciting huorescence and chemical
action, that they are due to ultraviolet
light. In opposition to this view
weighty set of considerations presents
itself. If X rays be indeed violet light,
then violet light must possess the fol-
lowing properties:
(a) 1t is not refracted in passing
from air to water
ID 1t is incapable of regular rehec-
ton at the surface of the above bodies.
That is to say, these ultraviolet
rays must behave quite differently
from hitherto known violet rays
A kind of relationship between the
new rays and light rays appears to
exist; at least, the formation OF shad-
ows, huorescence, and the production
of chemical action point in this direc-
ton. Now, it has been known for
long time that besides the transverse
Tor up and down, or crosswise) vibra-
tons which account for the phenome-
non of light, it is possible that longi-
tudinal vibrations may exist. Possibly
the new rays may be due to such vibra-
tons.
/ must confess that I have in the
course of this research made myself
more and more familiar with this
thought, and venture to put the opin-
ion forward, while I am quite con-
scious that the hypothesis advanced
still requires q more solid foundation.

faint outlines of the surrounding
bodies.
Water and several other fluids are
very transparent to the peculiar rays.
Plates of copper, lead, gold, silver and
PLATINUM also allow the rays to pass,
But only when the metal in thin. Pa
tinum is not so transparent as silver
and copper. Lead is practically
opaque or unperneable. ii square
rod of wood be painted on one race
with white lead it casts little shadow
when it is turned so that the painted
face is parallel to the x rays, but a
strong shadow if the rays have to pass
through the painted side.
After having performed the preced-
ing experiments, / was led to the con-
clusion that the density of the bodies
is the property whose variation mainly
affects their permeability. The more
dense a body was, / thought, the less
liable it was to be permeated by the
X rays. But that the density alone
does not determine the transparency
is shown by an experiment wherein
plates of similar thickness of Iceland
spar, glass, aluminium and quartz were
EMPLOYED as screens. The Iceland
spar showed itself much less transpar.
ent than the other bodies, though OF
approximately the same density.
have not remarked any strong fuores-
cence of Iceland spar compared with
glass.
INCREASING THICKNESS.
But increasing thickness increases
the hindrance offered to the rays by
all bodies. A picture has been impress
ed on Photographic plate of number
