The concert given by the Luther
College band last Friday evening was
a musical feast such as Cresco is rarely
favored with. There were thirty in
struments playing at one time, but in
such perfect accord, time and modu-
lation that it was as if one mighty pow
er of harmony swelled from one instru-
ment.
rhe college glee club, also members
of the 5and, sang several songs in the
Scandinavian and English languages
in manner that brought repeated en-
cores.
The Scandinavians are musical peo-
pie, possessing that quality of talent
which permits of high cultivation. The

THE HERALD's NEW x-RAY AP-
PARATUS.
The Herald's new x-ray apparatus
consists of a Ruhmkorff coil, Tesla
COIL current breaker, a condenser,
Crookes tube and a fluorescent screen.
The Ruhmkorff coil, containing some
twenty-five miles Of wire in series with
condenser and the Tesla coil, COM
posed of but few turns of wire and with
out the soft iron core, are encased in
wooden box about three feet long, fifteen
inches wide and twenty inches deep, and
are kept submerged In oil for greater in
sulation.
The current received from the source
of electrical energy, in this case the in
candescent light wire Of the building, is
passed through a high speed current
breaker which passes 1t on to the pri-
mary coil with frequency Of 100000 pc

the condenser, which enormously In
creases it's voltage and frequency, and
delivers it to the Tesla COIL which in
turn passes it on into the Crookes tube,

in which the current is discharged in an
atmospheric vacuum at potential of
500, 900 volts.

1t is now claimed that before Profess
sor Roentgen began his experiments,

many, to apply in practical form by
means of common photography, the re-
suits reached by Crookes, Hertz and
Lenard, 1t was known that energy in
the form of vibratory longitudinal rays
generated by an electric discharge in
glass tube from which the air had
been exhausted would penetrate some
opaque bodies and affect sensitized
plate as in photography. But Columbus
discovered America in spite of the fact
that several others saw it first; and,
it is said that Louis Agassiz's Descent
Of Man was published by its. author

for the printer, treatise similar to it.

any circumstances some other would or
might have done it or not; or whether
he was borne upon the shoulders of
others up. to that last step. Columbus
discovered America, Agassiz the De-
scent of Man, Edison the electric light,
and Roentgen the new light rendering
visible a vast realm heretofore utterly
impenetrable to human vision.

in the photograph obtained"
So many have expressed disappoint-
ment in not being able to visit the pri-
vate tests of the new apparatus through
lack of timely notice, and as it Is quite
out of the question to admit the general
spectator to the professional. consulta-
tions, another general exhibition Of the
marvellous powers of the apparatus VIII
be arranged for soon.
THE DISCOVERER OF THE x RAYS
Professor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen,
pronounced almost exactly as If spelled
Rankin, was born fifty-eig years ago
in Holland. From a student Of science
he graduated into the life Of teacher
in the leading universities of Germany.
In the past few months his name has
suddenly been heralded to an astonished
world with dramatic effect unsurpassed
in the experiences of scientific discov-
erers and he has been raised at once
from comparative obscurity to rank
with such idols of fame among savants
as Copernicus, Calico, Newton, Tycho,
Brahe, Franklin, Won Humboldt Morse,
Erricson, Edison and Tesla. He has
made opacity translucent.
Professor Roentgen, with the char
acteristic of modest man, makes but
meager statement Of the results which
he has accomplished and strenuously
avoids comment upon unaccomplished
possibilities of extensive development
in the realm which he has opened to
human vision through "the new eye of
science"

The bare bones Of live horned toad
in cigarette box, through a solid piece
of aluminium metal, were very clear.
There was illustrated the hidden pro-
phetic meaning of a hitherto paradox
ical passage of scripture: "As through a
glass darkly." A glass tumbler, which
you can see through, was put into q
cigar box, which you cannot see
through, and placed before the glowing
bulb. There the box you couldn't see
through you could see through, and the
glass you could see through you couldn't
see through, which suggests the sus-
picion that Prof Roentgen might have
sometime been one Of those farmers who
raise corn and sell what they can and
what they cannot they can.

the opera glasses it contained came
