"These rays were reflected" declared
DR.. Emmens 'Thcre is not the slightest
doubt in my mind of that. 1 have never
seen any account Of an experiment that
satisfied mc that the Y rays could not be
reflected, and it may be that the angle of
reflection is SO small, or that the attention
OF experimenters has been so concentrate d
on the rays that passed through substances
with which they tried to reflect, that they
overlooked the reflection altogether" Ex-
oe!lent pictures were taken by Dr. EN-
mems OF S. bills and portions of a newspl-
per.
Then he and his son began various ex-
periments on the theory that the Y rays
were universal. They tried to collcci
thcm as it were, from the darkness, by
means OF various chemical compounds
| and they succeeded. The best results
potassium, or ordinary prus'ian blue, on
the vulcanite plate-holdcr and next to the
sensitive film. The plate was left in o
dark room for considerable time, and on
| being developed the patches of pruss;an
blue wers found to be plainly pictured
thereon. The plate was affected as If by
ordinary light and penumbra surround

THAT penumbra," DIR. Emmens said,
shows that this was a light effect and
not chemical one" DR.. Emmens and
his son have invented an instrument
