been pointed out, seems hardly war
ranted by anything that has been done
so far. The possibility that the rays
may have some peculiar effect on the
human system has excited interest, but
none has yet been discovered, although
Thomas A. Edison has announced that
he is about to experiment on their
properties as germ killers. AS is well
known, ordinary sunlight is fatal or
injurious to the growth of disease
germs, and the new rays may possibly
be more so. During a recent attempt to
photograph a mouse with the rays the
animal, which was supposed to be
drowned, revived, and this incident was
made the most of in a sensational man
ner, but the experimenter himself said
that he believed the rays had nothing
to do with the mouse's recovery.
One of the directions in which new
discoveries may follow is that of rem
dering the image or shadow cast By
the rays visible to the eye. A process
proposed by Mr.. Thompson, New York
electrical engineer. is to receive the
shadow picture on a surface covered
with a fuorescent substance instead
OF on Photographic plate. Fluores-
cence would be excited in various de-
grees, according to the proportion of
the rays transmitted by the object, and
shadow picture of it would thus APP
pear corresponding to the shadow pho
tographs already taken. This process
has not been developed in detail, but
there seems to be no reason why it
should not succeed, although the hopes
of the inventor, if, as alleged, he ex-
poets by its aid to see the human heart
beating in the living body, may never
be realized. 1t must be remembered,
however, that in a discovery of this
kind delicacy of result depends largely
on perfection of detail in the process,
and the generation that has seen the
developmentOf the modern photograph,
together with the kaleidoscope, the tele-
phone and the photograph, need not
he surprised at anything in this line.
Only the skeptics may be pardoned for
wishing to see before they fully believe.

development IF form of electro-mag-
netic photography that has been per-
formed many times within the past two
years. More than a year ago photo
graph of a coin made in the dark by
Prof. Sanford, of Leland Stanford uni
sersity, by laying it on a photographic
plate and subjecting it to a powerful
alternating discharge, was reproduced
in large number of technical papers.

ed by electro magnetic waves proceed
ing across it. 1t is possible. however,
that there is a rea. connection between
this process and cathode photography,
and that when this connection is known
the whole mystery of the cathode rays
will be cleared up.
1t must not be assumed, however,
that all processes of photographing by
invisible rays are the same. There are
MANY kinds of invisible rays; for in

stances, and that they will so pass with
different degrees cf case. If they
passed through all substances alike,
the shadow pictures already referred to
could not be taken; it is only because,
for instance, the bones are mere opaque
10 them than the flesh that we can make
shadow photograph Of the skeleton
of the hand.
The actual discovery was made by
accident, and IN his original description
of it, read at Wurzbufg last month,
Prof. Roentgen does not dwell particu-
larry on the Photographic possibilities.
He made the discovery by noticing that
a phosphorescent substance near a
Crookes tube, over which Il cloth had
been thrown, gave out 4 CLEAN when
ever the current was sent through the
tube, although the cloth prevented the
tubes light from being seel. The dis
coverer is decidedly of the opinion that
the rays which pass the glass walls of
the tube are not the cathode rays, but
hitherto unknown kind of rays gen.
Grated by the cathode rays in the glass
~ -
since the letter y Is used in algebra
to designate all unknown quantity. He
bases his conclusion largely on the
fact that a magnet will not defect the
new rays, while its power over the
cathode rays Is one of their most pc
culiar characteristics. Others note the
fact that Lenard discovered some time
ago that the cathc de rays Were not SIM
PIE, but made up Of several different
kinds of radiation, some of which were
detected by the magnet more easily
than others.
Roentgcn suggests, IN accordance
with the general German belief, that
the cathode rays are a kind of light,
or at least akin to iignt, that the new
rays are vibrations lengthw:se in the
ether, instead of crosswise, as those
of ordinary light arc supposed to be.
Such vibra tons have long been looked
for by physicists, and it is natural that
any new phenomenon should be as
cribed to them. but Roentgen himself
admits that there is not yet any posi-
tive evidence OF his views.
The discovery once made, the expert
ments were quickly repeated and am
plified all over the world, since they
require no very delicate manipulation
nor costly apparatus In this country
they have been performed with great
success by Prof. Wright and Mr.. Bum
stead at Yale, by Prof. Trowbridge at
Harvard, by Prof. Pupin at Columbia,
and by Thomas A. Edison.
The possible use of the Roentgen
shadow-photography in surgery was
suggested In the first reports of the
discovery. Prof. Wright has succeed
ed by its means in locating exactly a
large number of shot in the body of a
rabbit, and in Montreal bullet was
found in a mans leg by the same means.
No one has yet succeeded, however, in
photographing any OF the irternal Or
gans of the body, for the obvious rea-
son that these organs transmit the
rays about as well as the surrounding
flesh, and hence cast no separate shed-
ow. No very sensational results in this
line can be looked for probably, unless
the sensitiveness of the process is much
increased, and all reports that Mr.. Ed
ison, or any one else is prepared to
photograph the human brazil, with any

stance, those of invisible heat, as from
a stove that is not heated to redness.
1t is now possible TO photograph with
these last, as well rs with the invisible
ultra-violent rays of the extreme upper
part of the spectrum. The Roentgen
discovery, like most widely-noticed dis
coveries, has been productive of large
amount of sensational predictions and
foolish suggestions, many Of them the
result of partial knowledge of the sub
ject, although some may perhaps bear
fruit in new discoveries. The hope that
great practical results will follow i'll

prospect of success, may be looked upon
with suspicion.
One direction in which the invention
promises to be particularly useful Is
in the detection of flaws in metal, as in
castings, armor plate, etc. A weld so
finely made as TO be quite invisible to
the naked eye is brought out at once in
a shadow-photograph by the Roentgen
rays.
The process of making the shadow
photographs, as at present carried out,
is of the simplest. The object is placed
on the plateholder, and the Crookes
tube is suspended close above, thus
throwing a shadow of the object
through the plateholder, on the plate
within. The feat may be performed
in broad daylight, since sunlight can
not penetrate the phtehOlder, while
the X rays can.
Shadow photographs have also been
made recently by placing the object
and the plate between electrodes in
open air, without the intervention of
the Crookes tubes at al. This, however,
is not cathode photography. but the

some respects, though less desirable, for
a protracted drouth. Each row OF plants
stands on the edge of the bed, and thus
one-half the roots have the benefit of q
sloping surface, which Is not disturbed
by the cultivator, and they. come close
to the top of the ground, and get the
sunshine, which makes the berries firm,
we'll colored, and Of pronounced flavor.
On the low, wide beds usually cultivated
in the fiat woods, the berries ripen later,
are paler and of less positive flavor.
Mack s system of manuring is unique
and admirable; it is full of instruction
to the fertilizer buying Florida growers.
AS soon as the strawberry picking is
over, he rakes off the mulching, and
beds his barpyard manure deeply with
it, renewing it from time to time. Here
he pens every night eighteen to twenty
head of cattle. He adds the manure from
the stables and poultry houses, and this
constantly accommodating mass isforked
over occasionally. This, together with
the rotting, which the wiregrass under.
went on the strawberry beds, reduces it
TO state Of fneness by the time it is
wanted in the fall. This saves the ex-
pense of commercial fertilizers, and
when his crop is sold the avails are his
own.
A wagon load of berries will, in the
height of the season, bring him $40 or
$780, His net average receipts for berries
run from 81 ZOO to 81 400 year; the lat
ter figure, he stated, was the best he had
ever attained. These are much better
results than he could achieve with
cotton.

Marketing Tobacco at Pensacola.

Mr.. @. Prlda. foreman Of the cigar
factory at DeFuniak Springs, informs
US that he has made arrangements to
concentrate all the tobacco grown in
West Florida at Pensacola. Col. w. D.
Chipley, general land commissioner of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad, will
furnish building in which to do the
work He will also furnish the neces-
sary machinery-thaJi is, press, etc., for
casing the tobacco. He will arrange to
bring the tobacco to Pensacola at low
rate of freight,a special rate being made
for the purpose. Mr.. Prida and his as
sistants will receive the tobacco, and re-
ce1pt for same, and will charge for cas-
ing it only fair wages for men. This
will put the tobacco in a marketable
shape. The railroad of course is inter
ested in building up this new industry.
Mr.. Prida is interested in the manu-
featuring OF Cuban tobacco in Western
Florida, and will do his part in the in
terest of the general good. 1t has been
easy enough to plant tobacco and raise
it, and the great difficulty heretofore
has been to know how to put it into mer-
charitable shape. This difficulty has
been removed by the arrangement with
the railroad and this arrangement
should stimulate the production very
greatly. Tobacco seedwill be sent free
to those persons who apply before the
first of January by Cold. w. Chipley,
general land commissioner of the L. &
N. railroad. The seed will not be sent
out for two weeks or more. but all per-
sons applying for same will be furnished
together with instructions for planting.
When the tobacco is cured, and ready
for the casing process, w. D. Chipley,
Pensacola, Fla, should be notified,
when shipping instructions will be
given.-Pensacola News.

Primitive Berry Culture.

A Starke correspondence of the Jackson
vile Citizen sends lengthy article de-
scriptive OF the strawberry farm and en-
vironments of "Uncle Mack" an old ne
gro of Bradford county. Uncle Mack
has made success of his undertaking,
and though the methods are crude, they
are worthy of consideration because they
have proven successful. Mack's Guilt
walton is conducted on the rough, whole
sale system of an old cotton planter, says
the Citizens correspondent, yet some
points in it might well be needed by his
white competitors. He throws up beds
as he does for cotton, only wide enough
to receive one row of cotton or two rows
strawberry plants; and the effect of
these high, narrow beds is admirable in
