Cathode RAYS

A third and successful test of the
cathode rays was made at Winona.
The objects to be photographed were
fastened to wooden holders containing
sensitive plates. On the first holder.
which was 10 inches from the Crooke
tube. were fastened razor. in a leather
case; a pair of spectacles. also in a
leather case: block of wood. an inch
thick, into which had been driven
pieces of zinc. steel and anthony; a
block of aluminium. 6x4 inches in size
and 4 inches in thickness, and piece
of paper, covering strip of magnesium.
To the second holder was strapped a
frog, at distance of nine inches from
the light. Another holder held a small
fish, foot from the light and to the
last plate was attached the right hand
of Prof. Freeman
The frog plate was very satisfactory.
The bones of the amin al showed quite
plainly. The other plates wese devel-
oped latter. and as the exposure was
of great duration, it is hoped that these
results will be most satisfactory.

More about Game Laws.

An interesting question has arisen in
regard to the slaughter of game and fish
in the Indian reservations in this state.
A company has recently been formed
WI ieh contemplates the sale of fish from
geech Lake. which is within the reser-
walton. The idea was to secure from
the Indians some of the privileges
which they have. and thus accumulate
a marketable quantity OF fish. The In
dams. however. are supposed to fish
only for their own use. and whether
they have any assignable privileges is
a question The respective rights of the
federal and state governments to con-
troll the fish and game in reservation
limits may be tested in the courts as
Executive Agent Fullerton, for the
state, announces that he will seize the
fish whenever found in the state, under
the very general section "a. which gives
the commission its present leverage on
offenders against game preservation.

by anarchists: but in the midst of their

bands.
The proprietor of 4 large lodging

lowing sign above the entrance of his
establishment:
NO cabinet ministers or magistrates

This notice derived its point from the
fact that the wrath of the anarchists
was supposed TO be directed toward
these officials.
