The Condition of the Lungs Clearly
Shown by the microscope.
From the Boston Transcript, June 10.
More interest is taken in the cathode
ray exhibit in Mechanics building,
where the meeting of the Massachu-
sets Medical society is being held,
than in all the other exhibits put to-
gether. and Russell hall was crowded
all the morning with medical men,
anxious TO see the revelations which
were being made there by the new
light. DR.. Z. o. Goldman has charge
of the exhibit, and it is one of the
largest and most complete ever shown
anywhere.
The chief object of interest is the
big Horoscope. by which the whole
upper part of a mans body, penetrat-
ed by the cathode rays, is shown.
This is done by throwing the tube on
n large canvas screen forming one
side of box in which the observer
sits. By means of this apparatus the
interior of the mans chest could be
plainly seen, with the outline of the
different organs against the light from
the tube. The man who was shown
this morning was cOnsumptive,
having had cough for about two
years. and the cathode ray showed
his condition very distinctly. The
right lung, which was healthy, was
penetrated by the light so that the
ribs on the front and back could be
seen plainly. but on the left side the
lung was tuberculous, and the ray did
hot AtNlx- pel-
mass could be seen. This exhibition
caused the greatest interest, not only
among those of the physicians who
make a speciality of diseases of the
lungs. but among nearly all who at
tended the meeting. There was a line
waiting all the morning which eX-
tended from the apparatus across the
room and out to the door of the main
hall, as it took less than half a minute
to make the examination, it is prob
able that several hundred physicians
must have seen it up to noon.
Besides this large Horoscope, there
were several instruments of the ordi-
nary kind on which examinations
were made by means of eye shields.
One of these instruments was more
powerful than the one used on the
large Horoscope, although of course
only small part of the body could be
seen by it. Not only could the ribs
and vertebrae be seen plainly when
one of the eye shields was held
against a mans chest, but when a
pair of forceps We're held against his
back. on the outside of his coat, they
could be distinguished without diff
Guilty. Several of the men there had
fractures in some of their bones, and
these We're plainly shown on one of
the machines, giving an excellent
demonstration of the value of the
cathode ray in medical work.
In another part of the room photo
graphs made by the X-ray process
were thrown upon a canvas by
stereopticon, showing some excellent
cases of broken bones and dislocated
joints, and also cases where objects
were embedded in the flesh, one or
two of which it would probably have
been impossible to find without the
aid of the cathode ray.

GIVE OLD GROVER FITS.

Not many weeks ago a man, who
known Populist leader, to be his twin
brother, was travelling through East
Texas, and when his train stopped for
a few minutes at a way station he
stepped off on the platform to look
about a little. 1t so happened that
Tracy made a speech at that point
once, and is looked upon by the third
party people there as one of the great
est orators of Populism, so when the
passenger was spied by dozen Pops,
who were sitting about the. depot
watching the trains go by, they struck
bee line for their supposed leader.
Each man shook hands cordially with
him, and the wretched man was too
mean to let them know of their mis-
take.
What's old Grover been dom late
~, Harry? Up to his same old tricks,
l reckon said one of the Pops.
Yes replied the imposter. IN just
read you about him in one of the edi-
torials in this mornings News
And drawing his paper from his
pocket he pretended to read:
Grover Cleveland has systemati-
cally ingurgitated interminable guam
tifications of sustentaculum.'
Inere, SAID one, knO~ed he was
a dom somethin' like that. Durn his
old hide, he ought to be killed.
You bet said another, and I'd like
to help kill him..
But that's not all he's done said
the supposed Tracy. Listen here:
And with open mouths the Pops list
ened while he read:
He has refused suscipiency to a
sustentacular of Priscillian gnostics
who manifested appertency for a pre-
ternatural audition.'
Well, I'll be dog-goned,' said one, If
that don't beat the dickens. Hangin'
is too good for a man that'd do that
That's right chined in. another.
Blame his old hide, he's a regular
traitor
But let me read you some more,
said the supposed Populist orator. and
he proceeded:
He is now studying the lucriferOus
possibilities resultant from the clon-
glomeration of his modern Caligastros
in their recent thaumaturgycal feats.'
Good Lord groaned Pop, What's
this country a comm to, anyhow? j
reckon If the old scoundrel had anoth-
er term he'd -
But here the conductor yelled all
aboard and the vile imposter stepped
on the train as ii moved off, leaving
the Pops giving old Grover fits.-Texas

STILL AFRAID OF Quincy.

I'm Chairman Grants interview,
copied in last weeks Southern Repub-
lican from the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, it is stated what is called the
Lily White wing of the Republican
party in Texas does not exist, but is
purely mythical. In this Mr. Grant is
mistaken. The Lily White faction of
the Republican party in this state is
not large in number, but has thor
ough organization, and is a movement
with which some of the brainest and
best men in the state are identified.
And it might be added that some of
the reforms for which the Lily Whites
are fighting would rebound to the bene-
fit of the Republican party in this
state. The mistake they are making,
however, is not in doing their fighting
inside the regular organization" y

ton in the Cuney-Grant contest. We
are glad Quincy was beaten. Not be-
cause he is a negro, but because he is
would-be boss; because he, as the
presiding officer of the state conven-
ton at Austin, was drunk, insolent,
and acted in the most tyrannical, I'M

gentlemanly manner in every ruling
made by him. Yes, we are glad that

umphed and that Grant was seated"

SHOULD TORY DESCENT BE A BAR7

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: While the subject Of consolidating the Sons OF
the American Revolution with the Sons OF the Rev
olu,ion IS in question. would 1t not be well to con-
sder and to settle for all time the expediency of ad
hitting mixed blood to either OF these societies?
am told that in one OF the largest Connecticut
chapters Of the Daughters OF the American Revo.u-
ton members have been proposed whose descent
was partly from Revolutionary patriots ard partly
from stanch Tories. II seems as II to admit such
members to defeat the very object fer which
these societies were Incorporated. Would 1t not be
mere travesty on patriotism? patriotic society
cannot without involving great loss Of dignity. at
tempt TO occupy that exceedingly difficult position,
both sides OF the fence"
Surely "A chapter which had on its rolls members
in whose veins flowed Tory blood could not TO the
youth OF the rising generation. preach very effec-
tive sermon on patriotism As an object lesson such
IL chapter would be dismal failure. Youthful
lookers-on would be likely to get their ideas of
loyalty TO ones country considerably mixed. wish
that there might be IN the columns OF Tie Tribune
an expression Of opinion from members OF both
societies.
There is another suggestion which should like to
make. Why not have In these societies a
OF inner chapter. a hoy OF holes" "A special
decoration and place OF honor for those descendants
OF Revolutionary sires whose courage rose to the
occasion. and who shouldered the rifle and bucked
the sword in the late Civil War? The public
would like 10 know and to honor those men In whom
the patriotic strain had not died We hear "A
great deal nowadays OF what the present generation
thinks OF its Revolutionary ancestors Ii would be
decidedly more interesting II could know wha.
those grand old heroes thought OF those descend
ants who at the darkest period OF American history
chose the iresde rather than the battlefield Would
they be as prompt to own us AS We 10 claim kin
ship with them?
At tho time OF the Nations deadest peril many
