Prof. Fox. at Georgetown University, has,
like hundreds Of others, been conducting
experiments with the so-called Roentgen
rays. the university laboratory having a
gratifying collection Of Crooxes tubes and
other accessories. Among the experiments
undertaken was the photographing Of a
chick in the egg. This was not a success,
although a coin placed inside an egg shell
was reproduced nicely. A most interesting
phenomenon appeared in photographing a
coin with glass rod lying on it. That
part Of the photograph of the coin where
it was covered by the rod seemed enlarged

BOOTH-TUCKERS' CHILD DEAD.
1t Was but Six Weeks Old and Wns Ill
When Mrs. Tucker Left England.


At Salvation Army headquarters in New
York, yesterday, a cablegram was received
from London announcing the death of the
infant child Of the Booth-Tuckers. The
child, which was six weeks old, was taken
ill after the embarkation Of it's parents on
board the steamer st. Louis at Southamp-
ton, and a telegram to that effect caused
the father to return to London, as tele-
graphed to The Star. Mrs. Booth-Tucker,
however, was too Ill to be taken off the
steamer. and came on to America, arriving
Saturday. Commissioner Booth-Tucker be-
lieving the child was out of danger sailed
on the Majestic last week.
Immediately after receipt of the news of
the Booth-Tucker child's death there came
to Salvation Army headquarters word that
the daughter of Mrs. Booth-Hellberg in
charge Of the Indian province, had died
Sunday. Mr.. and Mrs. Mars Booth-Hell-
berg have been in the Punjab ever since
the recall of Mr.. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker
from the Indian command.
