A Wonderful Discovery.

According to recent dispatch from London to the New York Sun, Professor Routgen of the University of Wurzburg. Bavaria, has discovered light, which for purposes of photography will pene- trate wood, flesh and most other organic substances. The professor has succeed. cd in photographing metal weights, which wers in a closed wooden case, also mans hand, which shows only the bones. the flesh being invisible.
 It is stated that the professor takes a so-called Crooke's pipe, viz, vacuum glass pipe with an induction current going through it. and by means of rays, which the pipe emits, photographs on ordinary photographic plates.
 The above statement seems incredible. and yet the power of photography to reveal objects invisible to the eye, such as the most distant stars and letters ob- scurred by paint, has long been known.
