the child began to howl was so marked as

walked over to him with smile of pity on
his face and Queried:

X-Rays.

The scientific world is devoting itself
assiduously to the study of Prof Roent-
gems mysterious wonderful x-rays. Fly
ing machines, Kelley motors and the like,
are laid on the shelf while the experts
experiment in the photography of the un-
seen. Discoveries tread upon the heels of
possibilities, and the scientific gentlemen
are kept in a state of excitement The re-
port is that Mr.. Thomas A. Edison has
not slept more than four hours out of
each twenty-four for two weeks, devoting
the twenty hours to the pursuit of the
secret of the x-rays.
Mr.. Edison's theory of the rays is clear,
and may be demonstrated to be correct.
The feature of the apparatus for the pro-
duction of the rays is a glass bulb, in
which the air has been exhausted and a
vacuum formed. At the end of a copper
wire introduced at the top of the bulb is
a zinz disc a quarter of an inch in diane
ter; this is the positive pole, or anode. At
the side of the bulb another wire is intro
duced, to the end of which is a zinc disc
half an inch in diameter; this is the mega
tive pole, or cathode. An electrical cur
rent is turned on, and Mr.. Edison says the
cathode propels inhnitesimal particles or
molecules of light in the bulb with such
force that they not only strike the opposite
side of the bulb. but go ON through the
glass. through the object beyond the glass
and to the sensitized film arranged to re-
ceive the picture The difference in resis-
lance to the particles of the different COM
ponent parts of the object to be photo
graphed makes the differences in shading
in the picture. Thus, the flesh offers little
resistance to the particles, or rays, the
bones offer more resistance, and steel still
more. 1t is indeed, like the shooting of
millions of little shot through the object,
the shot leaving their imprint upon the
background.
Among the late discoveries in connec-
ton with the x-rays is that there is a
great production of ozone about the ap-
paratus when photographs are being
taken. Prof. Pupin of Columbia College
and his pupils worked in a closed room
| nearly thirty-six hours making photo
i
But at the end of the time the air was
as fresh and sweet as that of the country
after heavy thunder shower In the
same laboratory Prof. Osterberg photo
graphed the body of a mouse that had
been drowned purposely for the expert
ment. The mouse had been held in the
water for fifteen minutes. and had been
put one side for nearly two hours, while
other experiments were being made.
When the mouse's body had been exposed
| to the rays for some time it showed signs
of life. and finally recovered.
Mr.. Edison believes that the photo
graphing of the human brain by the pro
cess will be entirely harmless to the sub
ject because there is no amperage in
the rays, and it is the amperage that
does harm. At the same time, he thinks
that the rays may be used to lombard
and dislodge consumption and other bacilli
in the human system.
Evidence is accommodating that the X
| rays constitute one of the greatest discov-

This congress ought not 10 waste any

was squarely presented in the House yes

ON tile free silver coinage substitute for

Ia the Senate there was also a vote that
was significant. The finance committee
had reported a free silver coinage bill
as a substitute for the House tariff bill.
and a motion was made 10 take il UP for
consideration. The motion was defeated
by a majority of THE majority by which
the free silver coinage bill was passed
recently. From this it would seem that
there is growing disgust. even in the
Senate. with the free silver coinage non
sense.
In our Washington dispatches yester-
day it was stated that ex-Representative
,
TO pledge senators and representatives, to
join a free silver coinage party. in the
event that the national democratic and
national republican parties refuse to put
free silver coinage planks in their plat
forms He met with very little encourage
ment: in fact. he was given the cold
shoulder
Since the bond sale has demonstrated
in so marked n manner the conf
dence Of the people in the ability and
purpose Of the government to maintain
gold payments. the silverite schemers have
come TO the conclusion apparently that it
would be folly to encourage the creation
of a free silver coinage party. They see
that such a party would be overwhelm-
ingly defeated. and that its leaders would
be condemned to political death.
The truth is, the silver craze reached its
climax some time ago. and is now stead
lily declining. There are some senators
who do not seem to be aware that public
sentiment in respect to free silver coinage
has changed. but they viii find it
out They will never be able to injure
the credit Of the government or secure the
adoption Of any measure that would dis
turb the sound money basis upon which
our currency rests.
The present House was elected when
the silve1tes were doing their utmost to
convert the people to their unsound none
tary theories. and the fact that an
overwhelmingly majority of sound money
men were elected ought to have convinced
them that the wisest thing for them to do
was to abandon the cause of free silver
coinage. They got another lesson yester-
day. and they will get still another when
the national conventions meet. If they
are not ready by that time to admit that
the cause of silver is hopeless it will
be simply because they are stubborn and
refuse to be convinced. If they won't
admit their cause is hopeless they will at
least be in such a hopeless minority that
no attention will be paid to them.

POIiticO-MiIitary Organizations.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem1.


Hail to the Monroe-Doctrine Zouavesi
We have had the Mulligan Guards and
Company Q, while the Oldest inhabitants
can recall also the glories of the ante-bel-
lum militia, but the Monroe doctrine boys
will take at once a proud pre-eminence
which will make them famous for all time.
Probably the idea of forming such a start
ling organization was borrowed from that
other famous society which grew out of
the vivid imagination of Senators Stew
art and PETER and other Incompatible
western statesmen-the Silver Knights of
America. OF course, if we are to have Sill
yer knights, there is no reason why we
should not also revel in the delights of
Monroe-Doctrine Zouaves. But why not
carry out the idea indefinitely? Let us also
have the High-Tariff Guards and the Pen
sion-Grab Cavalry, the Anti-Bond Infan-
try and the Cheap-Money Artillery. We
might also organize Woman's Rights En-
g1neer Corps. and, as this sort of fmbe-
cility is limited only by the number of bills
and resolutions introduced in congress, it
could be carried to such an extent that it
would require a volume to contain the new
nomenclature when it had been fully de-
Veloped.
