that the sensitiveness of these objects

could not bC tahen, il rs only because,
for instance, the bones are mere opaque
10 them than the flesh that we can make
a shadow photograph Of the skeleton
of the hand.
The actual discovery was made by
accident, and IN his original description
of IL, READ at Wurzburg last month,
Prof. Roentgen does not dwell particu-
larry on Tie Photographic possibilities.
He made the discovery by noticing that
a phOsphOTesCcnt substance near d
Crookes tube, over which II cloth had
been thrown, gave out 4 CLEAN when
ever the current WAS sent u rough the
tube, although the cloth prevented the
tubes light from being seea. The dis
coverer is decidedly of the opinion that
the rays winch pass the glass walls OF
the tube are not the Cathode rays, but
a hitherto unknown kind of rays gen
Grated by the cathode RAYS IN the glass
itself. Hence he calls them the y rays.
since the letter y Is used in algebra
TO designate all unknown quantity. He
passes his conclusion Largely on the
fact that magnet will not defect the
new rays, while its power over the
cathode rays IL one of thei- most pc
culiar characteristics. Others note the
fact that Lenard discovered some time
ego that the CathC de rays we. e 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 he general German belief, that
the cathode rays are kind of light.
or at least akin to iignt, that the new
rays are v1brauons lcngthw:se IN the
ether, instead of .rosswise. as those
of ordinary light arc supposed to be.
Such vlbra lions have long been looked
for by physicists, and it is natural that
Rny new phenomenon should be as
cribed to them. but Roentgcn 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
rabbit, and in Montreal a bullet was
found in 4 mans leg by the same means.
No one has yet succeeded, however, in
phOtographing any Of the Eternal 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 ne separate shad-
ow. No very sensational results in this
line can De looked for probs bly,, unless

been well known that he is preferable

But since the announcement by Sen

Quay is not only a political manager

Upon all occasions when he has been

1t has been claimed and generally as
sumed by republican managers that
our recent financial troubles were
caused by tie Wilson revenue bill
whereby there was a great reduction
OF revenue upon many imported items.
The people should be informed of the
fact that the customs duties collected
under the Mckinley bill were reduced
instead of increased by that extreme
hlgh Protectionist measure. During
the year 1890, when the Mckinley bill
was passed, the customs duties col
lected amounted to 1926, 500, 900. In the
following year, 1891, the Mckinley law
was in effect, and the customs duties
fell to S216.SOO,0O0. In 1892, two years
after the Mckinley bill was passed, the
customs revenues fell to STA. 100. 900.
In 1894 the customs duties had fallen
to S131, 100000. These figures are taken
from the treasury account and are re-
liable. They demonstrate that the Nc
kInley high protectionist tariff bill re-
duced the revenues customs duties I'M
til they lad fallen off almost so Der
cent.
The Wilson revenue bill, which WAS
democratic measure, was passed in
1894. 1t became operative in 1898, and
the revenues from customs thus far
received during the present year in
dictate that the total revenue for 1896
will amount to S196, 500. 900, which is
S6O,OOO.OOO in excess of the revenues
under the Mckinley bill in 1894. II
Will thus be from a plain state
ment of acts / figures that the rev.
enues OF t. country have been in
creased by the Wilson bill; and that
therefore it is unfair and untrue to as
sert that our financial troubles have
come from the passage of democratic

emitting fiame-like light, blue OH one
side of the body, and yellow-reddish
