Fresh discoveries in England
are daily announced in the field
first opened by Prof. Rontgen.
That there is a possibility of en-
abling the human eye to see with
ease concealed objects was demon
strated on Thursday at Kings Col
lege, London. One of the expert
ments there says: without the
aid of photography, by the means
of n simple fourescent screen and
a suitable lens, l could easily see
the bones in my hand and wrist
clearly and sharply defined and
the action of the joints. Metallic
objects were readily seen through
a solid block of wood two and a
half inches thick, such as is used
in paving streets. A sixpence
shut up between the pages of
Bradshaw was clearly visible.
These results were produced by
the aid of a new vacuum tube de-
signed and made in the college.
The results can be readily seen
either by daylight or gaslight, no
darkening of the room being ne
cessary." Another London inves-
tigator, Mr.. j. G. Vine, announces
says the New York Sun, that he
has been able to photograph at
one end of wire objects exposed
between two vacuum tubes at the
other end of the wire, and de-
clares that he will soon be able to
photograph objects to any dis
lance by means of X or magnetic
rays conveyed by wire. He de-
scribed the process to me to-day
but forbade making public the
details until the experiments are
| complete. -Times-Democrat.

What Belligerent Rights
Means.
Times-D Democrat.

Times Democrat.
Congress has voted to give the
Cubans belligerent rights, but it
is doubtful if many people know
exactly what that means. The po-
pular opinion seems to be that the
recognition of the belligerency of
a struggling nation is almost
equal to an alliance.
One of the most eminent Amer
lean writer's, referring to the &C
ton of the several European pow =
ers in recognizing the Confederate
states, says:
at is easy to see what they (the
United States) gained (by the &C
acknowledgement of Confederate bel
ligerency). They gained the Ii

to st. Mary; here they will get an

question and become better posted
ON what the term implies. They
would possibly learn as the people
in this section have long ago real
lied that "white supremacy" sim
ply means the supremacy of a ia
vored few. Those who split their
throats yelling white supremacy
wants that kind of supremacy,
provided they can be the supreme
beings, otherwise its no go. If it
becomes necessary for hand full
of Democrats to marshal the vo-
tiers they pretend to dread so
much, to down a white opposition
ten to one against them, the white
racket is unceremoniously laid
aside, and every voter is recogni.
zed on an eUual footing. and what
they cannot control from that di-
rection by Doodle or promises

THE REGULATORS.

Tuesday night of last week a
band of regulators camped them
selves in the neighborhOod of
colored mans house near Port
Barre named Sicily, and sent one
of the gang to inform him, Sicily,
that his horse was very sick, and
asked him to fix a dose Of medI-
cine for it, the old darkie never
dreaming for one minute that
such fate awaited him-as was
afterward experienced-prepared
the medicine and started to go to
the horse when he was seized and
tied and brought half mile from
his house where they stripped and
administered a sound thrashing
to the poor inoffensive and oblig-
ing negro, whose only crime was
that he had gone to Opelousas
several days before and register
ell. After they got through with
the negro they went to Notleyville
where they fired off their guns in
front of the residence of Mr.. n. c.
Devillier and as Mr.. Devillier
was not at home the inmates. we're
scared to no little extent. The
law. abiding citizens of every
heighborhood where these mid
night bands parade should do as
their neighbors in Bellevue have
done and should they catch these
men deal them a lesson that the
rest will profit by; as there is no
use reporting the whipping of
negro to our parish officers.
We have been informs also that
gang of men had fired into the
residence of Mr.. Ben Splane, near
Opelousas, one night last week
during his absence, luckily nc
one was hurt, but should these
daring ones try the same tricl
over they are pretty apt to ge
their just deserts.

of visit and search, of capturing
contraband and of blockade, rights
which spring solely from the rela-
ton of belligerent and neutral,
and which the neutral acknow-
lodges by recognizing the exis-
tence of that relation"
The general accepted descrip-
ton of the conditions justifying
the accordance of belligerent
rights recognize "the existence of
a de facto political organization of
the insurgents sufficient in char
acter, population and resources to
constitute it, if left to itself, a
state among the nations, reasona-
bly, capable ct discharging the du-
ties of state" land at sea en-
ployment by the insurgents of
commissioned cruisers and the eX-
ercise by the parent government
of the rights of blockade ct insur-
gent ports against neutral COM
merce and of stopping and search
ing neutral vessels at sea."
Some of the administration pa
pers are laboring very earnestly
to show that the recognition of
the belligerency of the Cubans
will injure more than benefit
them, as it will give the Spaniards
a certain right of search of Amer
lean vessels visiting Cuba, and al
SO Justify them in blockading the
island; but the Cubans themselves
do not take this remarkable view
of the matter, nor do those who
give the subject any careful
thought. The Cubans have no.
thing to fear from blockage; for
they have been thoroughly shut
in ever since the rebellion began.
The recognition of their belleren-
cy allows them to organize crui-
sers or privateers, which can in
fiict untold damage to Spain, as
that power has not enough vessels
to guard the long line of Cuban
coast, much less to protest Span
, ish commerce.
Moreover, the resolutions adop-
ted by congress were not mere re-
, cognition of Cuban belligerency
, but the expression Of sympathy
for the patriotic cause. Finally
it is we'll known that the several
republics of Central and South
America were only awaiting fol
, the United States to recognize the
: belligerents to do go themselves
, Recognition by these republics
: means great deal, for it means
, expeditions fitted out for Cuba
E privateers equipped and ready fol

condition of semi-alliance with

sympathy between the several La
