PHOTOGRAPHS THE BRAIN
DR.. Simon of New York Gets Like
ness of His Own Think
Machine.

New York Feb. 13.-The human brain
has been photographed. DR.. Carleton
Simon of Ia East Fifty-sixth street
exhibits a picture of his own brain OBJ
tanned from a process in which the
cathode rays are not a factor 1t may
be said, however, that the widespread in.
terest attracted to Roentgen's discovery
and the experiments of Edison prepara-
tory to his attempt to photograph the
brain were the incentive that led DIR.
Simon, after nearly three years of labor,
to bring to bear his whole power in q
final attempt to capture the prize of
honor in being the first to photograph
the brain of a living being.
For two and half days the doctor
worked almost uninterruptedly. The
work has not been without attending
dangers. Even the final and successful
effort was made with no assurance that
the camera might not hold the picture Of
a dead man. Though in measure salts
fed that the process was one by which
the brain could be photographed without
risk of life, it may be stated that the
experimenter selected himself as his SUBJ
ject that no other life might be en-
dangereG.
He had arranged mirrors SO that he
might observe the effects and was thus
enabled to view his own brain. 1t was
lighted up SO that he saw the interior
and even the pulsations. His sensations,
so far as had any, were ct the
strangeness O. this phenomenon AND emo
tons of success rather than any physical
effect produced by the forces he manipu-
lated and which were controlled by cleo
trio buttons, the camera being exposed at
the instant that light was directed at the
head.
The doctor is So years of age. He
possess strong hypnotic powers which
he has used successfully, though be is
reticent on that subject. The photo
graph he exhibits is perfect in detail
and thore seems no reason for doubling
the story

INVESTIGATE BOND ISSUES
Much Information-The
Tariff Bill.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 12.-Therc
was an unusually full attendance on
the Republican side of the Senate cham
Der today as Mr.. Morrill,, chairman of
the finance committee had given notice
of motion to take up the tariff bill.
The deficiency appropriation bill held
its place as the unfinished business and
there was no disposition to displace it.
Mr.. Vest secured the adoption of
resolution calling on the secretary of
agriculture to report what recent changes
had been made in the quarantine line
against cattle coming north from Texas
Mr. Vest explained that a recent publ
cation stated that the secretary had
issued proclamation making radical
changes, to the detriplent of the parties
in the district referred to.
Mr.. PETER (Pop., Kas.) came forward
with a lengthy resolution proposing Il
Senate investigation of the circum-
stances of all recent bond issues. The
resolution proposes a special committee
of five senators and gives comprehensive
directions as to the scope of the inquiry,
the dealings with syndicates, etc, the
effect of such dealings and explicit infor-
nation as to the purchasers of bonds>
rates and all attendant circumstances.
Mr.. Morrill, asked that the resolution
go to the finance committee, but it went
aver by the rules until tomorrow.

BOTH HELD FOR TRIAL.
jackson and Wallng, the Murderers
of Miss Bryan, will be Taken
to Kentucky.

Cincinnati. O., Feb. 13.-When the
patrol wagon drove to the jail door on
Sycamore street this morning to take
Jackson and Walling to the police court
there was a curious crowd on the side
walk to catch a glimpse of the prisoners
as could be had as they mounted the
stairway from the Jail door to the side
walk and crossed the walk to the wagon.
Both were handcuffed but they entered
into no conversation as they met Tor
the first time for several days. They
were driven quickly to the city hall and
were placed in the cells until they should
be called for their hearings.
Meantime a most unusual scene was
witnessed in and about the courtroom.
There was Il wild struggle for admission
into the little temple of police justice and
all the Railways adjacent were jammed
with men and women who were unable
to even look into the doorway Of the
courtroom. An extra detail of officers
was necessary to keep the crowd from
degenerating into a mob.
1t was a long time before the prisoners
were brought up for examination and the
process was very brief They both
waived examination and were ordered to
be committed to Jail without bond on
the charge of being fugitives from JUS
tice. The case was continued until Feb
ruary Is. While the commitments were
being prepared the men were returned TO
their cells. Sheriff Plummer of New
port will at once apply to the governor
for a requisition for tie prisoners.
William F. Wood. whose case was also
set tor today and who was out on bond,
did not appear when called and his bono
vas I'D until the Doth. He was
also locked up until a new bond can be
given. Both Jackson and Walling were
represented by attorneys. The charges
preferred against the prisoners were
murder and fuSitives from justice. Upon
suggestion of Attorney Mercy, who rep
resented Walling, the charge Of murder
was withdrawn and the other charge left
against them. This. it is understood,
signifed acquiescence by attorneys that
the murder was committed in Kentucky
and that no resistance would be made
to eXtradition for trial in that state.
1t is thought the prospect Of lynching,
which has generally been regarded as
likely in Newport, will bring one or the
other man to the point of furnishing
the missing link in the chain of evil
dence, namely, the cabman who drove
them with their victim to the place Of
murder.
The grand jury of Campbell county,
KY. sitting in Newport. this morning re-
ported to Judge Perkins indictments
against Scott Jackson and Alonzo NJ.

lions Are in Progress.

London, Feb. 12-There was an I'M
usual amount of interest in the opening
of Parliament yesterday, owing to the
many important questions that will come
before the present session. Nearly all
the members Of both houses placed them
selves on record before the party chiefs
as having needed the calls for full
assemblage.
The speech from the throne and the
statements in the Houses of Commons
and Lords by Lord Salisbury and Mr..
Balfour show that England has no de-
sire to carry it's Venezuelan claims to
the point of war, and that they have
practically acceded to the demands of
the United States for arbitration. The
government has already assured Min

NIAGARA RUNS DRY.
Ice Bridge or Dam Diverts All the
Water to the Canadian
Falls,

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Feb. 13.-For
the first time in half century the Amer
lean Falls practically ran dry today. By
the formation of an ice bridge or dam,
extending from Schlosser's dock on the
American bank about half way across
the river, the water was almost entirely
diverted to the Canadian falls. This
morning it was possible for time for a
man with plank to have walked from
the main land to Goat island without
wetting his feet, and indeed to walk
between all the islands inside of Goat
island At II O'Clock the water was so
low that a man in knee boots could have
walked across the brink of the falls from
Prospect point to Goat island.

J. G. Clayton, proprietor of Clayton's

cion of being concerned in the death of
his S-year-old daughter. Clayton claims
that the child was taken i'll as the result
of a quantity of lemon and vanilla ex-

vestigation, however, revealed the fact
that the body YVES not only frightfully
emaciated, but covered with bruises from
head to foot.
The coroner's inquest over the body of
the girl is in progress. A post mortem
examination is being made to fully deter
mine the cause of death. The terrible
marks and bruises upon the body of the
child and the knowledge that the child
was severely whipped renders it certain
that serious charge will be entered
against the father.
