NEW RAY LAMP.
A Means to Take an instantaneous Cath
ode Photograph Believed to have
Been Found.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. Eff. L.
Woodward, of the Lawrence Scientific
School at Harvard, has DEVISED new
ray lamp by means of which excellent
catholic photographs have been obtain
ed. The lamp is conical in shape, with
walls of sheet aluminium, one tenth of
an inch in thickness The rays pass
through the aluminium readily, and
with this lamp Mr.. Woodward has OBJ
tanned very clearly defined shadow
graphs of the hand in five seconds,
from an induced current of only be-
tween 25, 900 and 3O,O 900 volts.
The base of the lamp is os solid glass.
fitted into the base of the aluminium
cone with plaster of paris and made
air tight A metallic ring passes
around the base of the cone and holds
the sides firmly to the glass bottom
Through point little at one side of
the center of the glass base passes the
cathode pole into the lamp, and plat
mum disc is fastened to the end of it,
at such an angle as to be parallel to
the lamp.
At the top Of the lamp, and directly
connected with the metallic side, is the
anide pole, and at the top of the cone
is glass tube through which the air
may be exhausted The glass tube is
also fastened in with plaster of paris
and bound by a metallic ring. A cir.
cular wooden disc is fastened inside
the metallic cone to prevent any col
lapse of the sides as the air is ex
hausted
The new ray lamp has an Interest
aside from its construction, from the
fact experiments conducted with it ap
pear to disprove the theory that q
glass vacuum envelope plays an i'm
portant part in the generation of the
Roentgen rays. This theory was ad
vanced by Roentgen himself.
The results already obtained from
Mr.. Woodward's lamp make it seen
probable that with high eurrent-say
Of $4,000 volts-an instantaneous pho
tograph may be taken.

THE promoters of the new illumi-
nant, acetyline, are drumming othe
market for purchasers of stock. Acety-
line is gas which is proposed to be
furnished by companies, in a unique
manner-much the same as we now buy
our oil. The stuff is put into small
steel cylinders, and these are attached
to the gas pipes leading through the
house. The cylinders will last from
three to six months in ordinary houses
and when consumed newly charged
cylinder is attached.
This gas is the greatest practical gas
eous illuminant known, rivaling the
electric arc light; and it bids fair to
work revolution in artificial lighting.

STRIKE IN MORGAN.

McConnelsville, o., Feb. 27:-Mr. j.
T. Stanton, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank at this place, owns a tract
of land on Buck run, where forty years
ago oil was plentifully obtained from
shallow wells, but which has not been
considered very productive of late
years. This morning the drillers, who
were boring on small terrace, struck
oil at a depth of 1870 feet AS soon as
the tools were withdrawn the oil began
to gush out over the surface and in a
short time was flowing down the run.
Mr.. Stanton was sent for and left i'm
mediately sfor the well. He will re-
turn this evening when further partic-
ulars will be learned. This will prob
ably prove to be the strongest we'll
struck since the Greathouse wells some
thirty-fve years ago. which flowed
fifty barrels day.
Pittsburg, Pa, February GA de-
cision of vital Importance to oil men
was handed down by Judge Stowe to-
day. 1t was in the case of Mrs. Jos.
Marshall against A. w. Mellon and
John II. Galley. Mrs. Marshall was a
tenant for life on certain land which
she leased to the defendants for the
purpose of drilling and operating for
oil or gas she to receive one-eighth of
the product of any wells completed.
Should no wells be completed within
one year from the date of the lease,
the lessees were to pay the sum of S175
per annum.
The defendants subsequently as
signed the lease to the Shenango Nat
ural Gas Company.
Judge Stowe says: THE plaintiff
had no right to make a lease such as
the one here, as it would be lease to
do what she could not do herself, COM
NIT waste, and it would seem to follow
as logical conclusion that the lessees
took no su ubstantial benefits under the
lease. The question has yet to be de.
cided by the Supreme Court whether a
life tenant may open oil and gas wells
and thus destroy the value of the free
hold. 1t seems to me that such po-
sition would be in violation of all es-
tablished legal principles and l cannot
therefore, arrive at such conclusion.
Judgment is directed TO be entered for
the defendant"
