There could be none because it was this

The Times discusses editorially the Brit
ish side of the Venezuela matter this MORN
ing:
"The blue book must convince all az
preaching the subject with an open mind
that MIR. Bayard's description while he
was secretary of state) of our difference
with Venezuela. in his dispatch to Mr..
Phelps, United States minister to England,
on december 80, 1856, was and is true
description. Namely, that he had no idea
that political or territorial expansions OF
authority on the American continent could
influence the British government in rela-
ton to Venezuela"
The editorial then, admitting the venez-
uelan side of the case has yet to be heard,
deals at great length with the arguments
already adduced by the Venezuelan gov
ernment, and arrives at the conclusion
that unless the latter has more solid facts
and arguments to bring forward it will
find it hard to damage the British case in
the eyes of the unprejudiced.

shots fell on it like hail. For this piece of
work the commander was honorably men,
toned. In 1862, for his bravery he was
made a captain; in 1867 commodore and
a rear admiral in 1870. One year later
he retired, having the proud distinction of
being the first officer to do so voluntary,
to give the younger men a chance.
Rear Admiral Wake has been suffering
since last Tuesday from severe attack of
the grippe, but the immediate cause Of
death was heart failure. DIR. White, tho
family physician, had very little hopes of
his recovery, and the family was prepared
for the worst For some time before he
died he was unconscious. Deceaseds wife
and family were at his bedside when he
expired. He leaves widow, three SONS

EXPERIMENTS WITH X RAYS
Some Cheaper Substitutes For the

Extended Research VIII Be nade by Denver
Scientists-1he First Victim of the
New Photography

DENVER, Col, Mach s.-Preliminary ex-
periments in X rays conducted jointly by
the Rocky Mountain News and the Homeo-
phetic college, have dsproved the theory
advanced that Crooke tubes:made of lead
glass would not permit the rays to pass
through the walls of the tube. The expert.
ments were conducted by DR.. C. Z. Ten

H. Bookwalter, reporter of the News, also
practical photographer. 1t being impos-
sible to procure Crooke tubes, a substitute
was mad, of common lead gas used in the
incandescent globes made by the company.
Several negatives were made in remark
ably short time after some unknown change
had taken place in the glass structure
directly where the cathode and rays inn
pinge on the glass opposite the aluminium
disc. This supposed molecular change
took about an hour, after which the rays
came forth in such quantities that perfect
negative of the bones of a mans hand was
was obtained in five minutes.
The current was from an induction coil
giving three-inch spark. Other negatives
were made to determine the absorbing
powers of various substances and none of
these negatives were given an hours ex-
posure. Developments lasted less than
tained are merely preliminary to extended
research which will be made both with the
lead glass tubes and also the genuine
Crooke's tubes as soon as they car be OBJ

Consumption Under x Rays.
From the New York Herald.


DR.. Levy has just made communica-
ton to the Berlin physiological society re-
garding the latest application Of the Roent-
gen rays. 1t has now become possible. he
declared. to obtain a complete picture Of
the internal organs. as regards their situa-
ton, size and mechanism. This is accom-
plished by means Of the Fluorescenz screen
The whole body Is lighted up so that the
shadow Of the various parts and organs
Is thrown on the screen. DR.. Du Bois-Rey-
mond and Prof. Grummach, who had aided
DR.. Levy In his Investigations, further re-
ported that they had succeeded in seeing
the organs Of the throat. the larynx. the
tongue and the stomach. Prof. Grum-
mach has further succ eeded in making
pa biological studies Of the human body.
He examined a man who had formerly suf-
fered from consumption and hemorrhage
Of the lungs. He noticed that in the part
Of the body where the lungs lie (the lungs
are too transparent to be visible by means
of the Roentgen rays there were number
Of Opaque spots. These were places where
Justification Of the tuberculous parts of the
lungs had set in. In another case he saw
small black lines In the heart Of patient
Just where the main arteries lie. These
showed that the ossifcation Of this part Of
the heart had set in, although 1t could not
be diagnosed by any of the usual means.
The correctness of these observations was
confirmed by the fact that the pulse in the
wrist was hard to the touch. and signs of
ossification could be observed near the ell
bow and in the forearm.

Drawings Made by Hot Iron on a Sur
face of Wood.
From the Century.
Many years ago the manual labor Of the
artist in color was reduced to a minimum:
he no longer grinds his colors or makes his
canvas and brushes. But up to the present
day the artist in burnt wood has toiled on
with his rude forge and burning irons, with
the devotion of an cld-time alchemist. Sin
gularly enough. relief from the discomforts
of this crude mode of work has at last
come through the avenue which brings re-
lief from all physical ailments-that of
medicine. The thermocautery. a surgical
instrument invented for cauterizing, has
been adapted to the use Of the artist. 80
that he can work with comparative free
dem.
Formerly the f1re-etcher employed copper
tools. not unlike soldering irons. set into
wooden or other non-conducting handles.
These tools cooled rapidly, and had to be
constantly shifted. while the oxidation of
the copper necessitated constant cleaning.
What with feeding his fire and blowing it
up with hand bellows. 1T is a wonder that
the wood burner produced anything at all
artistic. Today the hollow burning point Is
of platinum. a metal which does not oxi-
dize. Once heated. a never-failing current
OF naphtha gas, burning within, enables
the artist to work for hours, wholly inde-
pendent of the forge. the bellows, and other
paraphernalia. The electrode, another sur
g!cal cautery. is likewise used In burnt
wood work. and electricity will in time
srpersede all other means Of heating the
burning point
With these facilities at hand the fire
etcher must still encounter difficulties not
found in practicing the kindred arts.
Clouds Of smoke constantly rise in his face
while the iDcessant flashing Of the fiery
point Is always trying to the eye. He must
have deep-rooted love of his art, and
the patience Of Job.
