RAISING DELuSIVE HOPES.

Chicago Record: Referring to the --latest
| claim for the new wonder-X rays-namcly
| tnat by its medium the blind are to receive
sight and the deaf to hear-Tesa thinks II
cruel to raise such hope when there is st
little ground for it. This will probably be
unavailng with the charlatans who always
seize upon the latest discovery or invention
| as an aid in their profession.
Pioneer Press The communication from
NikOla Tesla concerning recent electrical de-
velopments, which appeared in the Electri-
cal Review, contains two interesting features.
One of these is the comment of the great
inventor on the use Of the Y rays in expert
menting on the blind. This il a species of
experiments which we have deprecated from
tae first, believing that Of all the world >
unfortunates the blind are those who should
be most carefully guarded from useless agita-
tiOn and probable disappointment The time
may come when the RCentgsn rays will be
proved to have a beneficial effect on some
forms of optic arrangement but we believe
that experiment in that direction is not yet
justifiable.
st. Louis Republic: Mr.. Tesla explains
scientifically the grounds of doubt upon
which we based our protest against predic-
tions of benefits to be conferred upon the
unfortunate by the use Of the Roentgen rays
He says that he cannot confirm the reports
of successful experiments and can find no
reasonable ground of hope for the utilization
of the rays in behalf of the blind. Only the
shadows of very small objects can be pro-
jected on the retina, and he is inclined TO
believe that this is accomplished by ordi-
nary rays, because in cases when all except
the X rays were excluded the experiments
were not successful. The notoriety which at
tends the exploitation of discoveries which
promise benefit to the human race is a great
temptation TO many men, but IL is contrary
TO the true scientific spirit, and men who
yield to it are working more for themselves
than for science or the race When such
exploitation tends to excite false hopes in
the breasts Of the afflicted it is simply in
human
