rent is used. we require a break wheel
and blower run by electric or other
motor, but escape all trouble from the
batteries. The break wheel is a neces-
sity when high voltages are used, as it
is useless to try to escape the destroy
ing action of the dynamo current by
cutting down it's pressure with resist
ances. There is no question but that
batteries and vibrators can and will
be extensively used but the advan-
tages in the use of dynamo current are
SO great that it's use is advised when it
can be conveniently obtained. The kind
of yibratorS to use may safely be left
with the instrument maker, but the best
form of break wheel has already been
described Not less essential than the
use of break wheel with high voltages
is the use of a blower whose purpose
it is to blow a stream of air at the
spark which takes place on the break
wheel when the circuit is broken. By
many the condenser is considered am
ply sufficient to cut down the sparkling.
and there is no doubt that the spark
will be materially reduced. especially
il a condenser is used whose capacity
may be regulated at will. Sufficient
condenser capacity should be employed
to practically kill the sparkling at
the break wheel; the operator can

substances more readily than others,
just as clear glass is more transparent
than paper is to sunlight. 1t is odd,
however, that some of the substances
most easily penetrated by the X rays
are opaque to ordinary light. Professor
Roentgen showed in his original an
nouncement that aluminium is about
200 times more transparent than plat
num to the X ray, yet both metals are

how to create, or more properly speak

Electricity has contributed much to
our present advanced civilization much
which the world could not well do with
out; but, if much of that which has
been contributed were swept away
leaving only it's last, greatest and most
wonderful achievement, the X ray dis
covery, the world could bear the loss
There are substitutes for them; but
none for the x ray.
The telegraph, telephone, electric
light and electric railway, as factors
In the worlds progress, have done Won
ders in bringing nations and individ-
ualS nearer together and increasing the
volume Of business transacted in a
given length of time, but even these are
limited in their scope, while the prov
ince of the X ray is world wide.
AS demonstrated by the experiments
of DR.. William j. Morton and others,
this light, to which nearly all so-called
Opaque materials are as transparent
as glass is to the ordinary daylight,
enables the physician and surgeon to
1cok into the human frame as one looks
into a room through a window.
Scarcely has this discovery been pub

sen, when thousands of men of ell pro-

great centers of learning, who must rely
entirely upon himself for all that is
necessary of intelligence and mechani-
cal skill to carry out his experiments,
this work will prove invaluable.
To the electrician and amateur it Is a
clear guide; each step being laid down
by men who have, so to speak, paced
off the entire road from start to finish.
To a large majority of the intelligent
public, electricity is a mystery, and is
likely to remain so for aught they will
do to make it otherwise. And this con-
dition results from the erroneous i'm
preston that one must have received a
special training to comprehend it. 1.-The
x Ray; or, Photography of the Invisi-
ble," makes a very successful effort to
disabuse the public mind of this false
conception. Commencing with those
words-so meaningless to the average
individual-the volt, ampere, watt, etc,
ii makes clear their individual mean
ing their relation to each other, and
incidentally, the varying conditions of
an electric current which makes them

The best breaker for the purpose is a
wheel such as is shown in Fig. 26. 1t is
made of brass. with pieces of slate care
fully fitted into its circumference. so that
when the wheel is made to revolve by an
electric motor, or other motive power, the
fixed brush will first rest on a brass pro-
lection and then on the exposed section of
the insulating slate. The fixed brush B
always makes contact on the hub of the
wheel. The slate being of the form shown
and carefully fitted, will wear indefinitely
and cannot fly out. The makes" are
trifie longer than the breaks" or, in
other words, the exposed sections of brass
are little longer than the sections of the
slate.
With such large primary currents it is
not only necessary to connect a condenser
around the break-wheel as was done with
the circuit-breaker B in Fig. a, but it is
also desirable to have an air-blaSt directed
at the sparkling point on the wheel so as
TO keep down the spark as shown at in
Fig. rs. This break-Wheel was one of
many results of long course of expert
mentation leading to the X ray work done
by DR.. Morton. and is likely to become q

was invented and is now made by II. T..

with the production of Y rays, because the

most totally impenetrable by it.
One of the greatest difficulties which
will present itself to the experimenter
is the choice of apparatus for the pro-
duction of the x ray effects. 1t must
of research have made none too ex-
plicit statements as to their precise
methods of operation
Roughly speaking, there may be said
TO be three general methods of opera
t1ons involving the use of % influence
or static electrical machines; (2) in
duction coils, whose primary circuits
are supplied either with continuous or
alternating electrical currents: (3) Tes-
la transformers utilizing oscillatory
electrical currents
INDUCTION COIL.
Although the static machine NAV be
used for the production of x ray effects
the induction coil is by far the most
convenient form of apparatus for this
purpose. By its use the more powerful
X ray effects are obtained and the time
of exposure Iessened.
The first thing the reader will want to
know is the size of induction coil he Will
be called upon to purchase if he wishes
to experiment. AS regards this point
he must be guided by the nature of the
work he wishes to accomplish. If he is

more are awaiting information which
will enable them to handle this bench
cent gift intelligently.
Never, perhaps, in all history has a
discovery so far-reaching in its effects
upon the well-being of humanity in
general been brought before the world.
1t makes surgery an exact science, and
places the healing art far beyond the
cropping amid fleeting symptoms into
the realms of certainty. Wherever dis
ease or accident have preyed upon or
marred the integrity of the human
form, it's members or organs, there will
this greatest wonder of the nineteenth
century, like ministering angel, fold
its wings and shower its blessings.
Almost as wonderful as the discovery
Of the X rays is the fact that within
& few months after its announcement
the press is spreading broadcast the
latest and most complete information
upon the subject from the pens of those
whose names have become household
words throughout the civilized world.
