land.
Although the excitement caused by
the discovery of the TX" rays has in
a great measure abated, experiments
are being quietly prosecuted in many
laboratories with q view Of widening
the range Of utility already suggested
by Prof. Roentgen's discovery.
In one new experiment in Germany
the human body was subjected to the
action Of the rays through an apparatus
Of special design, which enabled spec
tators to clearly observe the action of
the diaphragm demonstration was made
in England, where the Roentgen rays
were applied to animals without an
aesthetics. more particularly for dag
nostic purposes. Where photographs
of living animals are ordinarily taken
the subject has to be kept still, either
forcibly or by anaesthetics, but in this
case the animals were moving when the
pictures were taen.
The first, application of the rays was
made to two horses knees, one of which
was broken-kneed. Two excellent radi.
ographs were obtained, which clearly
show the difference in the two cases.
These results promise to be Of great
service to the veterinary surgeon, as
such an application Of the ''X" ray to
moving objects promises to do away
with the extreme tediousness and diff
Guilty of keeping the subject perfectly
quiet during the prolonged exposure.
Although in this instance the horses
moved freely about during the time
they were photographed the lines Of the
picture were perfectly sharp. The sci
enlist VINO conducted the experiment
says that although he would scarcely
yet undertake to successfully radio
graph a vicious horse galloping around
paddock, he will guarantee that the
spinal column of circus horse as it
trots around the arena can be distinct
" reproduced in an "X'' ray picture.
1t is proposed by the application of
this system to make series Of radio
graphs of the wild animals at the Lon.
don Zoo. The special apparatus re-
quired will, it is expected, be placed on
the market by leading firm of scien
tific instrument makers in London at
an early date.-New York Journal.

Electric Currents and Nine-Survey-
ing Instruments.

Electricity is being used so much in
mining that it is very important that
every mining engineer and surveyor
should be made acquainted with the
result Of some recent experiments OH
the effect of electric currents on deli
cate instruments. In the Westphalian
coal fields electric railways are rapidly
on the increase, and the question arose
whether the electric currents exercised
any detrimental action upon the mag
1etic surveying instruments which are
used so largely in the German mines.
In order to determine this, Prof. LEM
selected point underground at a hor;-
zontal distance of about 100 yards
from the rails Of an electric railway,
and 1920 feet below it. There. by
means of q magnetometer with quartz
fiber suspension, a series of Observa-
lions of variations were made, based
on a fixed line. The day curve was
very irregular, while the night results
showed perfect regularity, and were
quite in accord with the magnetic rec
ords This showed that magnetic OBJ
servations can, under such conditions,
be only satisfactorily conducted during
the night in the absence OF the mag
netic currcnt Another source Of error
is the safety lamp. Composed of vari-
GUS metals, the lamp in a hot condition
sets up the therT O-electric currents,
which act on the magnetic needle. In
order to obtain information on this
point, six mine-surveyors' safety
lamps, free from iron, were placed,
one at time, first in q cold condition
and then heated, at the pole of sensi-
tive magnetometer. OF the six lamps,
two, when cold, had no action on the
needle, while acted on it while hot.
The deviations observed amounted to
from 30 to 100 seconds. A new ben
zine lamp that had not been previous
ly used, caused deviation of as much
as five minutes. The deviation in
creased with the temperature of the
lamp. A new aluminium safety lamp
caused the same deviation when cold
as when hot. From these results it
follows that the mine surveyor, before
making magnetic observations with
delicate Instruments, should carefully
test his lamp. The influence of slight
magnetic properties may be lessened
by holding the light in the prolonga-
ton of the magnetic axis. With side
lighting great care is necessary. 1t is
thus demonstrated that the mining en-
gineer and surveyor should make their
observations at night. If they carry
out that operation during the datime
in the neighborhood Of an electric
plant, ETC., the results are almost GER
tain to be wrong, and trouble will en-
sue.

Big Oregon Spruce Trees.

George BARLEY returned to Astoria
Tuesday from the logging camps on the
Lower Necannicum, and brought with
him two photographs Of an immense
log cut from spruce tree and hauled
to the banks Of the creek by five yoke
of oxen for floating down the stream.
This log is a monster, measuring ten
feet ten inchep in diameter, and is
estimated to contain $4,000 feet Of
lumber. The largest log cut heretofore
in that region contained $4,000 feet of
lumber. Mr.. Logan intends to cut a
slice off this log and send 1t to the
Portland exposition. 1t Is said that
there Is a tree about two miles from
Astoria, near the Walluski road, blown
down by the resent storm, which meas
ures 16 feet In diameter. Both this
tree and the big log secured by Mr..
Logan are Of the best quality Of spruce.

Friday morning about 2 O'Clock
the citizens of River Falls were
awakened Cor rather part of them,
for there are always few that
nothing short of Gabrlel's trum-
pet will awaken) by the alarm of
fire. During the past year the
fire boys have been called out d
good many times on account of
burning out chimneys and
other trifing causes all Of which
they responded to promptly and
cheerfuIly. But on this occasion
it was seen at glance that they
had Job on their hands. Early
Friday morning the wash room
and wood shed Of the City Hotel
caught fire, which was lot discover
ed until the flames were bursting
through the doors. windows
and roof of the building when the
alarm was given. Confusion reign
ed supreme for time, and it was
not unusual to see people running
about scantll y attired, but who
afterwards became calner with
few exceptions, after the progress
of the confagration was better
known. There was an excuse
however for excitement and alarm
for the flames were leaping high
in the air famed by fierce wind
which was driving them right in
to the main part Of the hotel, fill
ing the kitchen and dining room
with dense smoke making it I'M
possible to enter some of the rooms
at times. This together with the
roar and crashing Of windows
made the scene APPALLING In a
degree. The women were fright
ened and some Of them went into
MYSTERIES and were obliged to be
removed from the place. AS
soon as possible the fre-bell
was rung and the fremen were on
hand in what seemed to those
in the building to be an incredible
short space Of time, and soon three
streams of water were playing on
the blaze. The boys behaved
molly and went about their task
in a way that bespoke thorough
drill and discipline. They stood
to their task during the progress
of drencling rain and it was
soon apparent that they were
getting the fire under control.
How far the rain acted in contrib
uting to this result is not known,
but it was most heartily welcomed
by all just at that particular time.

damaged, but it is far from being
as bad as no building at all, and
