 WONDERFUL. EDISON AND OTHERS FAIL WHERE THE LEXINGTON SCIENTISTS SUC-
 CEED. Photograph the Brain of Mir. Clip Taylor, Penetrating the Bones of the Skull.
 Louisville Times, March 7.l

There hasn't been much stir about it, but Profs. Anderson, Wells and Mcclellan, at the State College, Lexington, have succeed in photo graphing the brain with the cathode rays, a feat that baffled the wizard, Edison, and which has not been accomplished in any other place in the world, as far as is known. These gentlemen have met with the most surprising results in their expert ments, exceeding any accomplished by other scientists. The Lexington Herald tells of the remarkable feat as follows:
 The brain of Mr. NJ. Gibson Taylor, of Winchester, was last night in the State College labratory successfully photographed.
 On the second day of September, 1891, while visiting in Arkansas, near Pine Bluff. Mir. Taylor was shot in the temple, by a young lady, with a 22-caliber rife ball. 1t was several weeks before lie was con scions at all, and in the months that have since interyened he has never been well, as a result Of the lodgment of the bullet in his brain Mir. Taylor has been in New York city almost ever since the accident, under treat ment of number of surgeons who have performed repeated unsuccess- ful operations in the attempt to re- move the ball and the fragments Of bone it is thought to have carried with it.
 To perform these operations il was necessary to remove q portion of the skull about the size of half dollar. It was through this opening the X rays were directed lasG night. Dr. Waddy has several times treated Mr. Taylor, and it was through his agency he WAS brought to the city for the test. He was placed in an operation chair and bound to it, so that there could be no movement of the head. An exposure of two hours and twenty minutes was then made.
 The professors were hopeful of penetrating the brain, but feared that the skull on the further side would prove opaque to the rays.
 Their qualification on finding when the negative was developed that the rays had penetrated the brain and skull and making a shadowgraph on the receiving plate of objects which the professors and the physirians present believe to be the lead bullet and bone fragment may be imagined. In the print it is thought the objects will come out with even greater distinctness.
 The experiment proves what has never previously been proven, that the skull, and in consequence all earthly matter of similar forma- tion, can he penetrated by the X rays. The test also proved that the longer the exposure the more com- plctely can the bones be Eliminated in the result.
 Mir. Taylor will be subjected to an- other test in a few days, when some improved apparatus which has been ordered shall have arrived. 1t is probable that the next sitting and exposure of from four to five hours will be made.
 It is the opinion of the professors that in the next photograph of Mr Taylor's head the bullet and other foreign substances in the cranlal cavity will not only be outlined but be SO. definitely located as to bt removed with little difficulty.

achievements, has had most inter
 esting career Although he is known
 as tragedian exclusively, there is no branch Of the drama iu which Mr.
 Keene has not played with distinc-
 ton and success. Comedy burlesque,
 pantomine-wh whatever could be asked
 of an-actor, he has appeared in.
 Mir. Keenc, after .fehting his way
 up the bottom rounds Of the ladder,
 found himself the leading man of
 Woods Museum, iii New York, in
 the days when that organization
 was one of tie most important in
 the Atlantic Coast Metropolis. and
 in fact the whole country That was
 in the days when q star trayeled
 alone, and brought his plays with
 him, while the theater furnished the company to support him. The lead
 ing man of such a company found
 himself compelled to play in every
 branch of the drama, or if he could not hc had 10 stay out Of the cast, and found his usefulness curtaiIed. Mr. Keene was never out of the bill. for no matter what the play, who the star, CT what the line of work re- quired of him. he was able to meet all demands Afterwards he went to San Francisco, and was q fayorite member of thatremarkable company which played at the California thea- ter when John Mccullough was dra- matte arbiter of Che Pacific coast. Here bis wonderful versatility was fully displayed, and he stood high in a coterie of actors of which San Francisco was particularly and justly proud. It is recalled that he was q splendid FIerzog in "Black Crook the work Of the pantalo0ned clown was not beneath his making it a bowling success with the gallery, and that he was q particularly fine Iago. II is also recalled that lie al= ternated she roles of Bru tus, Cassius and Antony with Mccullough and Booth; but 9 more dazzling success came to him when he appeared as leading man Of Eugene Tompkins' grand production of zola's Drink, ? q play that was made successful mainly through his genius in deRict- ing the drunken sot who figures as the chief character. Immediately afterwards and as q direct result Of his splendid work in eDrink, Mir l I<eene began to star, selecting Shakespeaee's Richard HI. ;" as the | vehicle of his talents. From that point his career is known by all Aid although at first some critics demuffed he has long since won over the general verdict to his side in the matter of his interpretation Of his play. Since then Mr Keene has taken up other plays. but he has de- voted his attention entirely to tEe classics and Shakespearean drama, and with such distinguished success that if is not strange Chat his earli- est triumphs in other fields have been forgotten, and bis wonderful | versatility become in q large part a memory.

SOME ONE WILL SUFFER.
Tax Payers are Slow About Paying
 Their Taxes.

\ GRAPHIC reporter called on the Sheriff and Collector of Jefferson County this morning and found his force of deputies with plenty of idle time on their hands, and he asked the question:
 Are the people paying up their taxes rapidly"
 "No, sir" replied the Collector, "Fhey arc very slow, and many will get left and have to pay heavy penalty. Tine tax books will posi- tiyely be closed on the 10th day of April, and fl q constant stream of tax payers were to call at this office from now until that time to settle their indebtedness to the county all could not be waited on. So you see that many will be delinquent and they will have to pay the penalty laid down by law. We have done every thing possible t0 induce the people to pay their taxes while there was time, but without avail; now tRey must suffer the consequence. Those who como will be properly waited on, but the longer the delay the greater the annoyance and in- convenience to which they will be subjected"
 The GRAPHIC would urge ali those who can to at once call on the Col lector and settle their taxes. By do ing this they will save themselves a heavy penalty and much annoy anee

ON THE ROAD TO RUIN.

Lads Who Are HabituaI Frequent
ers of Grog Shops.
If Mayor Glendinning is serious in
his recommendations relative to the
control Of the saloon traffic he should
at once cal the attention of the police
to the gross violation of the ordinance
prohibiting minors from f~reouenting
grog shops. No attention to the en-
forcement of this law has been given
by the police authorities, and it seems
high time that steps be taken to do
away with the evil. A visit may be
made to almost any saloon where pool
tables and similar accessories are kept
to lure the young, and a crowd of boys
whose ages range from fifteen to
twenty years can be found almost any
hour of the day or night. SO lax have
the officials been in this matter that at
least one or two saloons in the city are
supported almost wholly by the patron
age of youths under the age of twenty
one.
A representative of The Herald had
his attention called to the evil and in
stituted an investigation. Several re-
sorts were visited on a Saturday
night and the result was astonishing.
In n place alone on Second South
street, seventeen boys We're counted
nearly all of them engaged in games.
while some were receiving drinks over
the bar. 1t was noted the bartender
had no hesitancy in handing over a
cocktail as quickly to a lad of Is as
to the gTay-haired red topper who usual
ly can be found where there is a crowd
of boys out for a time. In another
saloon on Main street no less than
twenty-four boys were putting in the
evening rolling the worries, playing
cards and drinking the vile stuff in
discriminatory dispensed by the waiter.
Other places were entered, and while
not SO many were found, there was a
sufficient number to indicate hat no
restraint is put on the nan behind the
bar regarding selling liquors to any
under the age Of twenty-one.
The practice is one that should be
abolished. 1t is strongly condemned
by the public in general. The ordinance
be rigidly enforced, and houses
that persist in violating it should be
dealt with in accordance with the sug-
gestions contained in the mayors mes
sage-revoke the license.

Railway Notes.

The Frederick Warde company came in
from Denver over the Union Pacific yes
terday.
The Rio Grande Western Passenger de-
partment is sending out a lot of Mercur
advertising matter.
1t is said that the introduction of the
railway bill in the Legislature has already
jeopardized the proposed extension Of
the Sanpete Valley road, while the pas
sage of the measure would kill all
changes for the extension. This is not
because the measure could operate very
disastrously against that or any road in
the state. but because the creation of a
commission, with such powers as the
bill gives it, is looked upon by the capt.
talists behind the project as an invita-
ton for them to keep out. 1t is predicted
that should sue a bill pass, there would
be no railroad building in Utah for a
long time. The shippers. who are sup
seem to be almost a unit against the
proposed legislation.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Chairman Cald-
we'll, of the Western Passenger associa-
ton, has refused the application of the
Great Western to make a thirty day
limit on it's tickets for the G. A. R.
encampment at st. Paul. The denial
of the request was a foregone conclu-
sion, the road making it so that it
would be able to appeal from the de-
cision of the chairman and make the
extension in accordance with the pro-
visions of the association agreement,
no matter what the other lines in the
association may do. 1t will now give
formal notice of its intention and If
the encampment is held at st. Paul
it will put the tickets on the market.
No other roa in the association will
make the extension, not at least at
present. They seem inclined to let the
matter drift without action of any
kind until after the next meeting of
the committee of the c.. A. r. which
will be held February 20.
A meeting of the lines interested in
Colorado business vas held today at
the Office of Chairman Caldwell, the
Denver & Rio Grande being represented.
The meeting was informal in it's ma
ture, and the old difficulty over Utah
business, which has made so much
trouble for the roads, was discussed.
The best of feeling prevailed and the
chances are now tina the trouble will
soon be patched up.
