1t was a CheerfuI Funeral.

Some months ago Nine. Miette came in
to a respectable sum Of money She tool,
little heed Of the morrow, and she was
wont to declare that when her last penny
came she would solve the difficulty bV
taking her own life.
With this end in view she purchased q
gorgeous funeral robe and a highly orna-
mented and padded coffin, which she
placed in her bed room. She next sent for
the leader of the local town band and
handed him over fair sum Of money on
condition that he should head her funeral
procession, and she furthermore drew uD
a programme Of popular and joyous tunes
to be played by his orchestra on that oc-
casiOn.
a few days back when only a franc or
two of her little fortune remained. the
widow determined on ending all earthly
troubles, brought some charcoal, shut her
self up in her room, and was found dead
next morning.
Punctually obedient to orders. the band
appeared at the hour Of the funeral anG
saluted the corpse with a gay hunting
chorus. The funeral procession then NOV
ed OFF at a quick pace to the ac-
compartment of a lively march Four
times was the cortege pulled up en- route
for the cemetery, and a the last halt the
band broke forth with the sprightIiest
dance music like strains accompanying
the lowering Of the coffin into the grave.

To scientists Interested in the practical
Application OF Roentsen's discovery Tes-
la S latest observation with a flOurescent
screen will seem most promising The
ordinary reader Will be better satisfied
with results than with technical explana-
tions Of his method. Here, briefly, are the
results as he has chrOnicled them:
He has succeeded in gaining a clear view
OF the Vertebral column even in the lower
part Of the body. lie has also clearly noted
the outlines of the hip bones. Looking in
the region of the heart he has been able to
locate it unmistakably.
"Ehe background appeared much brigh-
ter, and this difference in the intensity Of
the shadow and surrounding has surpris-
cd me" The ribs he could now see on
number of occasions quite distinctly as
well as the shoulder bones. of course. there
is no dfficulty whatever in observing the
bones of all limbs. In one instance he could
see quile cleaIly the zones OF ms hahd
through sheets OF copper, iron and brass
of a thickness Of nearly one-quarter of an
inch. Through glass the rays seemed to
pass with such freedom that, looking
through the screen in O direction at right
angles to the axis of the tube, the action
was most intense. although the rays had
to pass through great thickness Of glass
and OIL A glass slab nearly one-half Of an
inch thick. held in front of the screen,
hardly dimmed the huorescence.
When holding the screen in front OF the
head of an assistant thrust between the
screen and the tube cast but q feeble sha-
dow. 1t appeared sometimes al IL the bones
and the flesh were equally transparent to
the radiations passing through the oil
When very close to the bulb the screen
was Illuminated through the body of an
assistant so strongly that when a hand
was moved in front Mr.. Tesla could clear
ly note the motion Of the hand through
the body. In one instance he could even
distinguish the bone of the arm.
You cannot arrest time in Its flight or
roll it backward. Therefore you cannot say
what past generation would have
thought of these manifestations But you
can do the next best thing. il you have a
grandmother who has not kept up with
the trend of events seek her out and ex-
plain TO her in simple language Just what
Tesla has effected. AS the supposition is
that she has never heard of Tesla's name
and she may not know Latin. you can
not expect her to say "Aut Diabolus aut

ner she may allude to Diabolus alone in
