of a glorious century. But we live in an
age of wonders that once would have
been miracles,
Now comes story from Rome, which,
II verified. must cause Professor Roentgen
to hide his diminished head behind some
thing less penetrable than wood or alum
inum-something which cannot be
pierced even by his own wonderful rays.
Before the Rome Medical 3ociety on
Saturday. we are told by the special cor
respondent of a specially reliable news
paper. a certain Professor Salvioni, or
Perugia. described an optical instrument
OF his own invention which enables the
human eye. by means OF the Roentgen
rays, to see through anything when
those rays can penetrate. We are fur
ther informed that this Perugian scien-
list produced this invention, and that
with Il certain physicians present were
enabled 70 see the contents OF a closed
aluminum-box.
Despite the fact that the Professor
has thus far furnished no explanation OF
the means used to make the hitherto In
visible rays perceptibie by mans optic
nerve. we must contemplate the posi-
bllities Of this alleged invention with
awe, in which anxiety and Joy struggle
for the right Of way. Roentgen is great,
but Salvioni is greater; assuming again
that Salvioni has done this thing. There
are nearly 100000 human beings in
the United States. which means de-
mand in this country alone FOR nearly
100000 copies OF this invention. Men
viii work for IL, women will sigh for II,
and the children will cry for il. And
Edison will vote his life a failure.
BY its use the gold-brick and green
goods package will cease to deceive. The
presence Of a new speech In Tillman's
brain will be exposed and headed off.
The farmer will read the number of peas
In every pod in advance OF the market.
tuberculosis will no longer worry the
consumer OF beef, or trchlnosis the pa
tron Of pork. The safe-deposit vault viii
no longer defy the prying eye, and the
burglar will save much valuable time
now wasted in search for choice booty.
The approach Of a mother-in-law may be
detected without the fatal formality Of
opening the front door, A friends al
legged inability to oblige you will be nulli-
fed by glance at the coin in his trou-
sers pocket, and the gentleman who car
ries a pungent pipe in his pocket on
street-car will 10 longer counterfeit in
nocence Of the crime. It's use will make
impossible the smile that now hides
breaking heart, and render yalueless the
polish that conceals a vacuum. where a
heart should be.
But why proceed? II this invention
exists we must have It, though pain and
pleasure mingle in its use. True men
will not fear II, false men viii flee from
1t, and justice Will eventually prevail.
