NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Important facts
were added to knowledge respecting
the ''X' rays bv experiments made by
Edison at his laboratory in Orange yes
terday. He has ascertained the degree
of vacuum necessary to produce the
most penetrating ray. He has also
discovered that the *" rays do not.
as heretofore supposed, go out at right
angles from the aluminium disks at
which they are. generated, but 60 out
in all directions and apparently with
the same degree of penetrative effect
He succeeded in getting pictures above,
below and on all sides of the tube and
at angles of different degrees. With
an improved tube Edison managed to
pierce disks Of various substances at a
distance of II inches from the light
producing the clearest and best de-
fined pictures possible.
In q statement Edison says; Il be-
lieve that Roentgen's rays will effect
marvellous cures. If my hypothesis is
correct we shall be able to put a stop
to the effects of mad-dog bites. With
regard to typhoid fever, yellow fever,
malarial and other fevers that are
largely caused by microbes. as the doc
tors say. we may be able to reach the
