STARTLING PHOTOGRAPHY.
What q Young Woman Experienced Afte, !,
an X Ray Sitting.

Whhb hounR woman experienced Atto'
an X Ray Sitting.
An interesting contribution to tho liter
ature of the new photography is the ac-
count of Miss Elizabeth L. Banks ex-
periences.
"The negative, she says, "was re-
markable success from a scientific stand
point. The X rays had not only perfectly
photographed the bones of my neck, but
they had also taken the liberty to poke
about among my ribs reproducing six of
them on both sides, as well as my shoul-
der blade and collar bone. This was ac-
counted for by the fact that the photo
graphic plate was much larger than my
neck, and, although the rays of light had
been directed only toward the neck bones,
they had penetrated far below and through
my clothing
"Had any of the ribs or other bones been
broken or out of place, there would have
been no difficulty in discovering this by
means of the photograph. The chain
which I wore showed very prominently,
and even the links of that part worn in front
were clearly discernible through the shadow
of the flesh and muscles of the neck. The
length of time required for preparing this
photograph Is explained in the very easily
understood principle that the thicker the
object to be photographed the longer it
takes the rays of invisible light to pene-
trate it. 1t also follows, as matter Of
course, that the length of time required
for photographing depends very much up
on the size and weight of the person to
whom the bones belong; SO I, with no
weight or stature to speak of, was COM
paratiyely easy subject.
Miss Banks was painfully surprised by
the pictures of her foot. "That plate,
when it had been developed in the dark
room and held up to my horrid vision,
gave me the first glimpse ever had of my
feet in stocking and boot-not as they
seemed, but as they were.
SIN the portrait Of the foot in tho stock
ing-the texture of which, by tho way,
showed up wonderfully-the bones of the
toes, which should naturally be straight
and separated, were crowded one upon the
other, while the portrait of the foot that
was shod was still more terrible to con-
template. The bones were squeezed up
into the shape of triangle, to fit my
American pointed boot.
"'Are you sure the x rays don't exag-
gerate?' asked in horror struck tones
"'The x rays are like figures-they won't
lie,' was the answer. PLEASE show me
every portrait you have of peoples feet. 1
want to see IL mine are worse than the
Others So six or eight portraits of feet
were brought to me, none, however, taken
in boots, but even without the boots they
were all not only quite as unshapely as my
own, but to my infinite delight found
several that were very much WORSE and I
also noted with feminine satisfaction that
the pictures Of men s feet showed the bones
to be quite as badly out Of shape as were
those of my own sex. London Courier

Wonders of Plant Growth,

The growth of all plants is in the essen
tial analysis the same thing-viz, the sim
pie reproduction of cells. If q thin slice of
the stem of % rapidly growing plant be
made'and this be laid in water and exam
ined under microscope, it will be found
to be composed of q tissue containing nu.
merous cavities separated from each other
by very delicate partitions. These little
cavities are cells. Under the microscope
these minute cells may be seen to expand
until they burst, each forming two or
more smaller cells, but each perfect in ev-
cry detail. These two or more cells which
have been formed from the original one
under observation expand and go through
the bursting process, just as their progen-
itor did. Sometimes the division of cells
takes place only in one direction. At 9th
er times 1t acts on all sides alike. New
cells sometimes grow on the surfaces of
old ones, thus forming what the botanists
term "cell aggregates" or new tissue.
These tissues are later on provided with
all the various organs which 60 to build
up the higher life Of the plant All vege-
table growths are carried on by this plan,

POINTS OF THE PROSECUTION.
Religion of the Talesmen Inquired
Into by the Attorneys for
the Defense.

Contrary to expectations, the jury which
will try Oliver A. Winthrop on the charge
of robbing James o. Campbell, the Ha-
waiian millionaire, was secured yesterday
and with little difficulty. The taking OF
testimony will begin this morning.
For some unexplained reason the crowd
OF sensation-lovers that usually frequents
prominent criminal trials was absent from
Judge Wallace's courtroom. Another
thing which surprised the court officials
was the lack of feeling against the &C.
cused evidenced by the talesmen. Al
though column after column has been
published concerning the remarkable ad-
ventures of Mr.. Campbell, few of the citi-
zens called for jury duty acknowledged
having formed a fixed opinion as to the
guilt of Winthrop.
When court opened District Attorney
Barnes, aided by Assistant a. P. Black,
appeared for the prosecution. Captain
Lees and several of his Hawkshaws were
interested spectators, as also was the
prosecuting witness. For the defense At
torney Frank Bell appeared. Mrs. Win
throp, neatly attired in well-fitting suit
of black, with a pretty bonnet and new
red gloves, nestled consoliugly close to her
husbands side. The prisoner himself
seemed cheerful and at ease. He nodded
smilingly to several acquaintance, and

out that the company was delayed owing
to clerical error in the plans, but the
Commissioners decided the delay would
not reach ninety days and laid the matter

DOCKERY USEO HIS GUN,
A Refractory Milk Wagon Driver
Is Halted by a
Bullet.
Twenty.Three Cans of Impure Milk
Dumped in the Gutter by the
Inspector.

For the second time since he received
his appointment Milk Inspector Dockery
had to use his pistol on refractory milk
man yesterday morning and send sing
ing bullet after a wagon that would not
halt During the small hours of the
morning Dockery took his stand at Eight
zenith and Mission streets and held up a
number of wagons that were on their way
to the City to deliver the early morning
milk.
He was assisted by Market Inspector
Ben Davis and Inspectors Hanlon and
Harrigan, and within a short time a
half dozen drivers were standing about
with anxious faces while Dockery applied
the tests that would either condemn the
fluid TO being dumped into the street or
prove it sufficiently pure to be served to
customers. While the process was going
on Julius Buhm, who drives for Mrs. T.
Bauer, came by with his load and was
hailed by the Milk Inspector and told to
get into line.
Instead of complying he whipped up his
horses and started down the street at a
rafting pace. Again and again he was
called upon to halt, but he paid no atten-
ton, and then Dockery made a gun play
A bullet went uncomfortably close to
Buhm's head and his pace slackened, but
he had gone block before overtaken by
the inspector and compelled so return.
When an inspection of the milk in his
wagon was made the reason for his haste
was apparent. Not one of the twenty-three
cans contained milk that would stand the
test, and he was driven to the City Prison
and locked up on charge of bringing into
the City impure milk.
Later his milk was dumped into the
street to help flush the sewers. The milk
in ali the other wagons examined was
found to be pure enough to stand the test
