BRAIN
THOMAS A. EDISON POSES AS A
pnoroGRApnER.,
VIII Make an Experiment I'm Pho
togrnphy With the Newly Dis
covered Hay of Light.

orange, N. j., Feb. io.-Thomas A.
Edison, the electrician, was hard at
work all today in his laboratory at
west Orange preparing for tho expert
ment OF photographing the human
brain with the aid OF the newly discov-
cred ray which VIII be made tomor-
row.
MI Edison was asked II there was
any danger OF the subjects suffering
any physical Injury from the ray which
would necessarily be forced through
his head, as It had been suggested that
spark OF electricity from the tube
system.
Mr.. Edison replied: mo: the sub
1eet VIII be In no danger whatever as
there is nonmperage In the rays in the
TUBE and u IL the amperage that works
the harm.'
Tomorrow he will try to photograph
sections OF the head only by placing
n small flm which Is the plate, In
closed In celluloid covers In the mouth
Of the subject with the plate facing
the palate.
The ray from the fiorescent bulh
eleotrode will then be directed so as to
penetrate the skull and strike the plate
desired angle After this an
other plate similarly inclosed in cellu-
loid covers will be placed In the sub
jeets mouth facing the right or left
side OF the head and the rays will be
placed accordingly, This, In Mr.. Ed
sons opinion, should warrant sue
oessful negative as the ray would only
have TO pass through one thickness OF
the skull and then II tho attempt IS
satisfactory he will try TO photograph
the entire head with the plate resting
at the back and the rays penetrating
the face and also with the subject ly-
ing on his side to have the ray from the
right or left with the plate on the OPP

A BOOM FOR CRISP
His Chances if the Silver Men Control the
Chicago Convention.
Two Other Names Considered Are
BOies and TelIer-Stevenson
Not Highly Regarded.

The anti Illustration gold democrats
very generally give up the fight for con-
tlol of the Chicago convention concedina
that the silver faction wiH control. They
couple the declaration that the Silver men
have it, with the complaint that Mr.
Cleveland is to blame. for not declaring
that he will not seek a third term. The
administration people regard this as simply
ar excuse Of politicians who have been
sulking for their failure to work earnestly
for sound money" Senator Brice some
time ago. after having declared that he did
rot intend to go to the national convention,
said that he was going TO try to hold Ohio
tc sound money, and several letters were
sent out by his clerk to that end. 1t ap-
pears. however, that the administration
was not disposed to co-operate with him,
but preferred to act independently of him,
and ne withdrew before he had fairly
tered into the fight. He now expects a
majority of the Ohio delegates to Chicago
to be for free silver and, from what be
and his friends say, he does not appear 10
be greatly disturbed by the prospect.
Most Of the experienced men in Congress,
even among those most devoted to sound
money are convinced that the silver men
going to control the Chicago conveIi.
ton. member Of the Senate, who is both
a gold man and an admirer of Mr.. Cleve-
lana, sad. IN speaking OF the prospect OF
a bolt, that ne did not think the gold men
should say too much on that subject now.
This declaration that all democrats should
stand by the decision of the convention, he
thought, might embarrasS them He i'm
piled the opinion that the gold men would
be forced to bolt.
With the conviction that they are going
to control the convention. the silver demo-
Gratis are now beginning to discuss cand-
dates. and the name Of eX-Speaker Crisp is
being considered. For some reason the
silver men generally do not take kindly to
the suggestion of Vice President Stevenson.
1t is with him as with Governor Matthews
of Indiana: while he Is known to be a silver
man, mis- reluctance to declare himself ex-
cites the resentment of the radicals, who
want nothing that Is not extreme. The
three names the radical silver men regard
as making up the field of selection are Bo!eS,
Teller and now Crisp The boom of Crisp
has but just started that for Teller Is being
pressed against all odds, on the assumption
that he is going to bolt the republican con-
Vention.
