x RAY HARD TO SEE BY AT FIRST
While the osteology Of DR.. Elizabeth
Palmer's gloved hand was being dis
articulated yesterday and the purses
of Mrs Wotkyns and Mrs. Mcclellan
| carefully inventoried by the curious X
ray, Mr.. Telfair Creighton and Capt. C.
J. Ball called for their first glimpse OF
1
charged, primed, filled, convinced and
pound to believe that the whole demon
stratlCn was a hypnotic delusion on the
part of the deluded witnesses. After
declaring for ten minutes that he didn't
see through the entire city directory,
unopened, and block of wood eight
inches thick, and denying other appar-
! ent monstrosities of human credence
| which were performed for his benefit
! by the apparatus, the colonel finally
weakened, saw it all, and gave up the
| ghost of opposition without further
struggle. The captain, however, stood
! firm to the last admitting only that
| eye-sights may differ.
| Upon which, with the ardor of new
convert one of the ladies suggested that
the captain was the most obstinate To-
gician in Los Angeles and the rayporter
ought to print it. The rayporter does
print 1t in the hope that, should this
matter reach legal action he may re-
ceive double witness fees, for he can
swear the alleged libel was uttered. and
also that there are others. For example,
an old doctor the other day, who went
into the dark room with the announce
ment that there shant nobody shove
no glass into me to look atl' was aff1ict-
ed with the same failure of eyesight
until Mr. VIII Creighton took his head
caput occipuD in the clasp of his
/ metatarso-p phalangeals, and put it
where he couldn't fail to see what every
pody else saw who was not afflicted with
peculiar eyeSight. 1t is quite tru<
however, that one is not able to dis
tlnsuish as well in the X ray at first
as atter some practice. The complete
ana utter reversion and revolution of
Jaws OF light and sight, which have be-
come by long usage instructive with us
Is not readily coincided in by ALL
Dr. stewart voiced this idea yester-
day. when he said: II can see there is
experience and in subject submitted
TO the X ray l would abide by Dr.. Yoa
kum's judgment"
