EMMENs ON X RAYS.
The Man Who Invented Emmensite Makes
a Wonderful Discovery

Several important discoveries have been
made in connection with the y rays by
stephen II. Emmens, Of New York City. who
claims TO have succeeded in obtaining the
rays from the ordinary sunbeam, and has
taken excellent pictures herewith
II" has also, he believes. succeeded in re-
llrcting the y rays, which heretofore has
been considered impossible Of reflection.
This opens up remarkable field, for il
means that the rays can be concentrated and
with proper apparatus be used 10 produce
photographs instead Of mere shadowgraphs
as at present.
DR.. Emmens has found what he believes TO
be the y rays In absolute darkness, and has
caught It effects on a sensitive plate. His
experiments convince him that the ray Is
~ universal as gravitntion itself that there
Is correlation between 1t and all other forms
oi radiant energy and that il may be chang
ed under proper conditions into those other
forms.
lie iS now trying to turn the y rays into
ordinary light, and II he succeeds wonders
may be worked later. II may be- possible To
light dark room 10y using the waste rndi-
ant energy Of the boiling kettle or the ordi-
nary radiator, or by collecting and turning
into ordinary light the rays OF the dark
ness itself.

"Emmensite, the powerful explosive
