ANOTHER GREAT DISCOVERY.
The Eye Enabled TO See Through Any
thing That Rays Can Pierce.

LONDON, Feb. II. A most remarkable
discovery has been made, according to a
dispatch from Rome, in connection with
the investigation of Prof. Roentgen's new
force in photography. Prof. salvioni Of
Perugia read a paper before the Rome
Medical Academy OF Saturday in which
he describes an optical instrument Of his
invention which enables the human eye,
by means of the Roentgen rays, TO see
through anything which those rays can
penetrate. Tits said that Prof. Salvioni
produced his wonderful invention, and by
It's means physicians present were enabled
TO see the contents of a closed aluminium
box.

A London photographer has found that
q convenient substitute for Crooke's tube
is an ordinary incandescent electric lamp,

This ~improvised Crooke's tube and an
