Inthe Path of Roe

In all of the history Of science there
has, probably, been no discovery that
has excited such immediate and wide.
spread attention rs that of the Roent
gen rays 1t has made an impression
on the public mind such as no other
addition to the sum of human knowl-
edge has done in our time, and ii has
given a new direction to the labors of
scienti tic investigators, wherever the
phenomena of electricity are known
or studied. In the short time that
has elapsed since the discovery of
Roentgen was announced, many impor-
tant additions have already been made
to the data which he had been able to
collect. So rapid is the progress of
experiment with this new form of ra-
diant energy that definite conclusions
about it are hardly published before
they are found TO be incomplete. 4
striking example of this is to be found
in Nikola Tesla's demonstration,
just announced in the columns of the
Electrical Review, that the rays of
Roentgen possess the property OF retiec-
ton. This was fact unknown to
their discoverer, and it has very
profound scientific significance. 1t
touchs so closely the principal condl-
ton of matter as to conduct the in
quirer in the very arcanum of nature.
Starting with the hypothesis which
previous experiments of his had JUST
fed, that the Roentgen light effects
are due to a stream of material par
ticles possessing great velocity, Tesla
found one conclusion inevitable that
they must be reflected. He has dem
onstrated by very simple apparatus
that they are, and has, incidentally.
discovered the highly significant fact
that the best refiectors are the metals
which stand first in what is known as
Nolta's electric contact series. This
tends to confirm the theory that the
Roentgen rays convey matter In Its
primary condition, and opens up new |
vista of scientific advance. That the |
rays possess the property of being re-
fiected is, of course, an enormous prac-
teal advantage. since it renders posi-
Bile their collection and concentration.
and indefinitely extends the limits of
their intensity. In the investigation
