Marvellous Invention That Pictures Even

London. Jan. THE noise OF wars
alarms should not distract attention
from marvellous triumph of science
which is reported from Vienna. 1t is
announced that Professor ROutgen, of
the Wurzburg university. has discOv-
cred light which, for purposes of pho
Biography, will penetrate wood, flesh
and most other organic substances.
The professor succeeded in photo
graphing metal weights which were
incosed in wooden Ease. also mans
hand which shows only the bones, the
flesh being invisible.
The Chronicle correspondent says the
process is simple and as follows: "He
takes the so-called Crookes pipe, viz: a
vacuum glass pipe. with an induction
current going through it. and by means
of the rays which the pipes emits, pho
tographs on ordinary photograph plates,
in contrast with the ordinary rays of
light. Those rays penetrate organic
matter and other opaque substances
just as ordinary rays penetrate glass. -
The professor has also succeeded in
photographing hidden metals with a
cloth thrown over the camera. The
rays penetrated not only the wooden
case containing the metals, but the fab
ric in front of the negative. The profes-
sor IL already using his discovery to

ADVANTAGE OF INSTITUTES,
Professor IlamiItOn's Advice -iIe Dis
cusscs ut Length the Cause of Dc
preston in Farming Enterprise.

Harrisburg, Jan. PROF. John Ham,
ilton, the deputy secretary of agricul-
ture and director of farmers institutes,
has submitted his report which will be
included in the Forthcoming report of
the department of agriculture. He
points out the features of the new law
governing the holding Of institutes and
shows the advantage of it. His main
idea has taken form in an invitation
to all agricultural and horticultural
societies and kindred organizations to
appoint one of their members to meet
with a board of institute managers in
each county, the local member of the
state board of agriculture presiding.
Oranges, alliances and all Organiza-
tions will hereafter be represented in
the management of the institutes. Prof.
Hamilton discusses at some length the
causes of the depression of the agri-
cultural industry, which Is gradually
crowding men out Of the country and is
sending them to towns and cities to
struggle for existence. He says the de-
partment of agriculture has been es-
tablished and equipped with a view of
ascertaining how the hard conditions
that have come can be relieved and
this foundation occupation restored to
it's former prosperity and thrift.
Inc cost OF tne 1eftlllZatlOn or the
farms in Pennsylvania and the develop
ment Of the virgin soils of the far west
are mentioned as one of the chief
causes of loss to the farmers of this
state. The growth of cities, together
with the development of manufacture
ing and Other industries has also brought
about q rise in the price of labor upon
which agriculture IL dependent There
Is also the uncertainty of the cimat te
occasiOned by the clearing off of our
forests and the consequent interfer-
ence with the water supply as well as
the danger from sudden flood.
The growth of great trusts which
manipulate the sale of farm products
is also one of the evils complained of.
Lack of knowledge of what is not de-
manded of the farmer Is another rea-
son for the present uphill experience
of the agriculturalists and to remedy
this as far as possible the department
of institutes has been organized. The
services of trained men will be secured
to disseminate the proper information
through institutes.

Sharks Make Another Raid Upon the
Treasury Reserve.
Washington, Jan. THE treasury
officials are watching with keen interest
the renewed attack on the gold reserve
and do not hesitate to express the
opinion that most of the gold now being
withdrawn is taken out by intended
purchasers of the new bonds.
They condemn such proceedings i'm
strong terms, but with the present law
on the statute books see no way to le-
gally stop such Withdrawals.
With today's Withdrawals out, the
treasury gold reserve at the. close of
business stood at $5S,6S5,710. The
amount of gold reported withdrawn at
New York today by Assistant Treas
urer Jordan was $2,900,0OO and there
