THE X RAY.


Several Important Discoveries Made IR
Connection with it By stephen Emmens.
New YORK, March l8.-SeVeral inn
portant discoveries have been made in
connection with X rays by Stephen
Emmens, Of this city, who claims to
haze succeeded in obtaining the rays
from the ordinary sunbeam, aud has
taken excellent pictures Herewith. He
has also, he believes, succeeded in re-
fiecting the rays, which heretofore have
been considered impossible of rehec.
ton. Dr.. Emmens has found what he
believes to be the X rays in absolute
darkness, and has caught its effect on
6 sensitive plate. His experiments
convince him that the X ray is as uni
versal as gravitaticn Itself, that there
Is correlation between it and all
other forms Of radiant energy, and
that it may be changed under proper
conditions into those OF other forms
All last winter George A. Mills, of

Tuesday night, after the regular meeting
Of the A. o. u. w. lodge, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Cheal were summoned to the ante
room for few minutes. When they re-
turned to the lodge room they were happily
surprised by DR.. j. Ii. Waite's addressing
to them some appropriate words Of cheer
and best wishes, concluding with presenta-
tion, on behalf of the lodge, of two leather
upholstered rocking chairs. The lodge
then sat down to an elaborate banquet.
Monday evening will long be remembered
by the twenty members of Owosso Lodge
No. 4S, Ancient Order of United Workmen,
who drove to Laingsburg where, under the
direction of Master Workman, Calvin Dell,
the Owosso staff initiated two candidates.
The midnight banquet which was served
was both bountiful and agreeable. The
Owosso Workmen returned early In the
morning, a little tired and sleepy, but with
q lasting recollection of a pleasant reception
and the hospitality accorded them by their
Laiugsburg brethren.

The Sunnyside Greenhouse.

1t is six years since John Schleider began
keeping greenhouse at the corner of King
and Washington SITS. Mr. Schleider was
originally tailor and began keeping flowers
for his own pleasure, but his fOndness for
them led him to give his entire time to
their cultivation. dis business has out
grown the space allotted to it and he has
completed a mammoth double greenhouse a
few rods east of the north end of Washing
ton street. Each part is 100 feet long, %
feet wide and IL feet high, and by means of
a hot water heating system, has, in the
coldest weather, the atmosphere of sum-
mer day. Over 5000 panes of glass, cover
ing 5000 square feet were necessary for the
new house. Water is supplied by wind
mill to 1S3-barrel tank, which is enclosed
in square tower. One part of the house
contains 1000 rose bushes and the other
has 5000 carnations. Among the roses
were the light pink Mermets, the deeper pink
bridesmaids, the fragrant pink La France
with its curly petals, the light yellow pearl
and its copper tinged neighbor, the sunset,
the deep red Gontier, the Souvenir de
Wooten, the Carnot and the pale green
tinted white Nephetos. The American
Beauty has been successfully raised here,
but is not very profitable. In larger cities
it sells at from twelve to eighteen dollars a
dozen.
There are a great many varieties of carna-
tions but Mr.. Schleider prefers 10 cultivate
a few of the more popular varieties, among
which are the medium red Scott, the large,
light pink daybreak, the white Lizzie
MCGOWAN and silver spray, the white
HELEN Keller with edges delicately penciled
with red, the large Albertina which has
light pink color, and the small but very
deep red Portia.
The roses are sprayed every day, but the
carnations receive little or no water during
the winter. The flowers worst enemies are
the green fly and the red spider, but these
are kept down by tobacco fumigation once
week. The red spider is averse to water
and does not thrive very well on rose BUSH
es, which are frequently sprayed. All the
iron work is occasionally coated with mix
ture of sulphur and linseed oil to prevent
mlldew.
The Sunnyside Greenhouse has popular
ity for quite distance surrounding Owosso.
Mr.. Schleider contemplates consolidating
his two plants and enlarging the new house
by an addition eOx1oO feet in size, and hav-
ing down townoffice.
During the sunny weather Of last week
over two hundred roses were picked every
day. Tne time for the ndxt crop will be
shortly before the holidaysl

KUBLAI KHAN.
The Revolt of Nayan, Great Chief, Against
His Nephew.

The Revolt of Nayan, Great Chief, Against
His Nephew.
Now this Kublai Khan is of the right
imperial lineage, being descended from
Chingis Khan, the first sovereign of all the
Tartars, and he is the sixth lord in that
succession. He came to the throne in the
year 1856, and the empire fell to him be-
cause Of his ability and valor and great
worth, as was right and reason. His
brothers indeed and other kinsmen disput-
ed his claim, but his it remained both be-
cause maintained by his great valor and
because 1t was in law and right his as be-
ing directly sprung of the imperial line.
Up to the year now running to w.t. 1898,
he hath reigned two and forty years. and
his age is about 50, so that he must have
been about 43 years of age when he first
came to the throne. Before that time he
had often been to the wars and had shown
himself gallant soldier and an excellent
captain. But after coming to the thorne
he never went to the wars in person save
once. This befell in the year 1885, and I
will tell you how he went
There was a great Tartar chief whose
name was Nayan, young man of 30, lord
over many lands and many provinces, and
he was uncle to the Emperor Kublai Khan
Of whom we are speaking. And when he
found himself In authority this Nayan
waxed proud in the insolence Of his youth
and his great power, for indeed he could
bring into the field 100000 horsemen,
though all the time he was liegeman to his
nephew, the Great Khan Kublai, as was
right and reason. Seeing then what great
power he had, he took 1t into his head that
he would be the great khan's vassal no
longer. Nay, more, he would fain wrest
his empire from him If he could So this
Nayan sent ENJOYS to another Tartar
prince called Caidu, also q great and po-
tent lord, who was a kinsman of his, and
who was nephew of the great khan and
his lawful liegeman also, though he was III
rebellion and bitter enmity with his sover-
eign lord and uncle. Now, the message
that Nayan sent was this: That he himself
was making ready to march against the
great khan with all his forces (Which were
groat), and he begged Caidu to do likewise
from his side, so that by attacking Kublai
Oh two sides at once with such great forces
they would DO able to wrest his dominion
from him.
And when Caidu heard the message of
Nayan he was right glad thereat and
thought the time was come at last to gain
his object. So he sent back answer that
he would doas requested and got ready his
host, which mustered good 100, 900 horse

The Ann Arbor Shops.

Every department of the Ann Arbol
shops is running on ten hours time and full
crews are at work. The clang of hammer,
the roar of bellows, the swish of the paint
er's brush, are hea on every hand. Every
man has his work and seems strictly at.
careful and experienced foreman. The
shops are as comfortable as stoves and Goa
can make them, only few of the men hay
ing to work out in the cold.
At the round house several tenders are ir
to be painted.
In the main shop engines Nos. o and 1C
are being repaired.
In the blacksmith shop the clang of the
hammer and anvil, the glare of the forges
and the flying of incandescent sparks, form
a very pretty picture. A great convenience
In this department is the steam hammer
which Is used to hammer both large and
small work into shape and presses out crum
pied sheet iron as If it were paper. The die
weighs l, 400 pounds, is attached to piston
having twenty inch stroke and under a
hundred pounds pressure of steam is capa-
bic of delivering q blow of thirty tons. 1t
is easily controlled bv means of two levers,
one controlling the steam supply and the
other the length of the stroke.
The carpenter shop is supplied with
every variety of woodworking machinery
and some new locomotive cabins are in pro-
cess of construction.
In the erecting shops, caboose No. II is
being repainted. Snow plow No. was
sent north Tuesday, after having been care
fully overhauled. Snow-plow No. is be-
ing made ready for whatever storms the
coming winter may present. Baggage and
smoking car No. 1O2 has had its roof raised
and is being painted.
In the yards 800 posts to be placed at
crossings are being made and painted black.
The targets are an oblong sheet of iron
about 6x25 inches, pierced with two circles.
The snow-plows are provided with flanges
which run inside of the tracks, but these
fanges have to be lifted at crossings or they
will tear the lumber of the crossings to
pieces These signal posts are for the bene-
tt of the snow-plow operators.
A lot of humping posts, the first to be
used on the road, have been made and will
be placed at the termini of sidetracks, to
prevent cars from running off the end of the
tracks.
Baggage, mail and express car number
202, which had its side smashed recently,
has been repaired and is being re-panted.
The private car, Wolverine, is undergoing
process of hOuse-ceaning Its interior
arrangements are such as to make it regu-
lar residence on wheels. In one end is a
dining room and In the other nice observa-
tion room. Two bedrooms are furnished
with handsome brass beadsteads and are
quite large. Four smaller sections, devoted
to berths, china closet and kitchen, give the
officials nearly all the conveniences of home.
The upholstering is of leather and the wood
work is dark and highly polished.
Five fire-plugs are distributed, about the
yards. A small house has been built for
the hose cart and fire apparatus. When
the hose arrives, hose company will be
formed among the employees.

Lady, we would behold thee moving bright
AS Beatrice or Matilda mid the trees.
Alas thy moan was as a moan for ease
And passes through cool shadows to the night.
Fleeing from love, hadst thou not poets right
To slip into the universe? The seas
Are fathomless to rivers drowned in these,
And sorrow is secure in leafy light.
All, had this secret touched thee, in a tomb
Thou hadst not buried thy enchanting self.
AS shappy Syrinx murmuring with the wind
Or Daphne thrilled through all her mystic
bloom
From safe recess as genius or as elf
Thou hadst breathed Joy in earth and In
thy kind.
