pertinent, instead of a Photographic
plate, a piece of sensitive bromide
paper was used simply wrapped in
stout black paper absolutely Opaque,
on which the objects were laid, con-
sisting of pair of scissors, lead
pencil, and quarter of dollar.
These objects left a strong impression,
with remarkably clear outlines of their
exact forms.
The reports of Professor Roentgen's
work state that the cathode rays do
not suffer refraction, and that there
fore no image is formed by the action
of the lens through which they pass.
Professor Wright's experiments con-
firm this, and seem to indicate further
that they are not susceptible to double
refraction or to reflection. In this
respect they are radically different
from rays of light, as also from the
rays produced by electric oscillations
as described by Professor Hertz. The
real nature OF these wonderfully
mysterious rays forms n most thrilling
subject of future investigation, both
as to methods and scientific proofs.
Professor Wright has photographed

a man. the bones of his feet and hands,
in fact, his entire skeleton may be
photographed by the Roentgen meth
cd, showing how one would look with
the flesh of his bones. Flaws and ine-
qualities in the heart of minerals may
be detected, it is claimed, by tins re.
markable process OF photography, and
still the discovery is in its infancy.
Professor Wright, who occupies the
chair of experimental physics at Yale
University, has been at work ever since
the first news of Professor Roentgen's
discovery was published. Professor
Wright's experiments, says the New
York Journal, we're made with a great
variety OF substances, and it was found
that strong impressions we're obtained
upon Photographic plate even when
1t was enclosed in an Opaque wrapping
of black paper and covered with pine
board half an inch thick between the
rays and the plate. He was successful

Shoes From the MayiiOwer.

Mrs. Eliza A. Brown, of Browns
vile, Me-, has in her possession a pair
of shoes which came over on the May
flower. This particular pair of shoes
was made at Chatham, London, in
l417. by John Hose, whose trade mark
can still be observed. Mrs. Brown in
herited the shoes from her mother,
Mrs. Lydia Gilman, of Acton, Me.
Mrs. Gilman had her,choice between
two pairs, the only authentic relics Of
this nature of the famous Puritan ex-
peditiou. They are of green brooade
satin, with buckles, and tic over the
instep. The heels are made of'cork
and are very light. Between the soles
and the uppers there is piping of
white kid. The stitching, which is
visible, is done as neatly and exactly
as in any specimen of latter day ma
chine work.
The shoes are an interesting exam
pie OF the rotation OF fashions. AL
though 480 years old, they are exact
ly in the style of the fashionable in
door woman's shoe for 1896. The toes
are of the toothpick variety, as point
ed as they can be, and turned up a
little. The ancient shoes seem to be
broader Mt the ball OF the foot than is
the vogue to-day. The uppers are Of

Patients Under X Rays.

Important experiments to test trA
value of the Roentgen X rays in the
field Of surgery have been made in the
laboratory of DR.. William James Nor
ton, in New York. The subjects upon
which the rays we're tried were several
patients from the Hospital for the
Ruptured and Crippled, in Forty-sec-
ond street.
As preliminary experiment, the
physician made picture of the han d
of feminine attendant ut the labora-
tory, using the discharge from Leyden
jars, the current being generated by a
static or influence machine, and new
tube or bulb, containing in addition
to the two aluminium electrode term
inals, metal reflector, hanging bell
like from the top. The exposure lasted
thirty minutes, aud the result was,
perhaps, the best ever obtained in
this country from this now familiar
experiment-the electricity having al
ways been obtained previously by
means of an induction coil, circuit

reported, in the physiological labora-
tory of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons in New York. The intent of
the investigation is to determine the
possibility of using the Roentgen rays
to impress images Of objects on the
cortex Of the brain.
Experiments made on animals gave
results regarded as most promising.
In one experiment bone lying in an
out OF the way corner of the room had
been previously photographed. The
shaven skull of dog was exposed to
the influence of the picture by means
of the X rays. On being released after
a sufficient exposure, the dog immedi-
ately hunted up the bone, showing
that there was an image OF it in his
mind.
The image Of a fierce dog was i'm
pressed upon the brain of rabbit.
On being released the rabbit evinced
signs of great fear-so great, indeed,
as to lead to the question whether in
sanity might not be produced by the
impressing of horrible images.

but there was little of the effect, re-
ported by Professor Roentgen, of the
greater distinctness of the impression
made by the bones.
II may be said with regard to the
pictures produced on the sensitive
plates by these experiments that they
have to the eye an appearance similar
to those of shadows thrown by the OBJ
ject upon a surface when the source of
light is but u short distance away. II
the object is at short interval from

somewhat enlarged, also distorted il

somewhat blurred or diffused. If the
distance of the tube is increased or
the interposed Opaque layer is thinner,
so that the object experimental upon
is brought quite near to the sensitive
plate, then the outline Of the picture
is more sharp and clear and the pro
portions are more nearly normal. In

--LATEST DEVICE FOR LIFE SAVING.

Of life-have prompted the invention
saving devices. One of the simplest,
and yet most valuable, is that lately
introduced by William Brandt, sail
maker, of Lubbock, Germany.
Substantially it is reproduction on
a very large scale, of the life saving
belts or rings commonly found aboard
ships. But, besides its greater carry
ing capacity, it presents some novel
and sensible features, which enhance
its value. ~
Numerous partitions divide the belt
into watertight compartments, so that
damage to any part does not material
ly affect the efficiency OF the whole.
The great elasticity OF the belt reduces
the danger of damage to minimum.
Despite its great size it is very
light. One man can easily roll il along
the deck and fling it overheard. It
does not matter how il strikes the
water--it invariably turns right side
mp. The middle space is taken up by
a strong network.
An important addition is that of
ropes made fast to the periphery of
the belt, and kept ahoat bv corks, so
that persons several yards away from
the buoy can draw themselves to it.
Seven large men standing on it don't
nppreciably sink the device, and when
it is considered how small the weight
Of person partially supported by the
water is it will be seen that one belt
can save large number of people.

A UniQue Experience.

A unique experience, even in the an
nails of the sea, was that Of the bark
Alice which reached Portland, Me-, a
few days ago after stormy voyage of
nineteen days from Turks Island, in
the caribbean. The bark carried a
cargo of salt, and she had been out
but day when it was found that the
salt had struck through into the water
butts, and every drop of fresh water
aboard was ruined. The captain
hoisted signals Of distress, and made
provisions for condensing as much
water as possible. Enough water was
condensed to provide half cupful for
every man aboard. II was five days
before vessel was sighted. The suf-
fering had been great and the situation
was growing desperate. The vessel
gave the Alice as much water as could
be spared, and the voyage was COM
pleted with better, but still short
supply OF water. The Alice had only
fourteen hours OF good weather during
the trip.

gristly substance forming the interior

results. His experiments are carried

The Field of the Decorative Artist.

The first question to be asked about
work of decorative art is: us it in
itself decorative?" This may be an
swered in one sense when the work is
seen detached from its setting, as on
the walls of an exhibition gallery. It
may be more completely and decidedly
answered when the work is looked at in
place. We may have good room with
hare walls-a well-proportioned room.
If the painter decorates il he must take
care that IL remains good in this sense.
Not much more than this may be re-
ouired of him, except that the subject
of his work be appropriate to the uses
of the room, and that the treatment
be in accord with the architectural en-
vironment. he may even enhance arch
itectural effects, but the first point is to
beautify. Within certain architecture;
limitations he has a wide field in which
he may exercise his decorative fancy.
