From an unscientific standpoint the
demonstrations presented were of more
than passing interest; they were un
canny, startling. It is one thing to
scan illustrations of effects produced
~ the x rays and to read learned and
technical treatises in explanation, but
1t is an entirely different matter when
one, with the aid Of the rays and the
Edison Horoscope. sees his own skele-
ton-or a portion thereof; sees
objects through two inches
OF intervening wood, orgwitnesses
the taking of a perfect photograph of
the interior of portion OF the human
form without the aid Of camera or
lens, and through several thicknesses
OF clothing, besides the casing of the
sensitized plate; or. by the aid of the
Horoscope, to look entirely through
the human body. These things, how
ever, the doctors guests were enabled
to do, and all were agreed that
the demonstrations were not only
wonderful, but that the time had come
when botch work in surgery would
have to give place to the certain and
scientific results which the X rays
make possible Of attainment. DIR. Rob-
arts was congratulated on his having
been the first to bring the ap-
