THE sOUTH's OPPORTUNITY.

The New Orleans Picayune In very
able article on THE Souths Oppor-
tunity," takes the position that the
South needs capital to develop it's hid
den wealth. and that 1t can be secured
by proper advertising OF our undevel-
oped resources, and by showing the in
ducements we have to offer profitable
investment. 1t declares that there are
yet thousands of miles of railway to be
built in the South. Great cities are
to arise on the seacoast and in the
heart of every rich State. Southern
Iron, Is to be manufactured in the
South into every article of use, from
steel sea-going ships. railway and
bridge work to cooking stoves and other
household utensils. The forests are to
be converted into lumber and the
trueasures of the mountains and the
mines are to be dug out and converted
into available wealth. All Is to be
done with money and by men Enter
prise must be applauded industries
stimulated and encouraged, and capt.
tai secured. All the grand possibilities
of the South must be converted into
realities. There Is abundant capital for
the accomplishment of all this, IL only
1t can be directed hither. This money
Is seeking investment, and for n long
period it found employment in the
West. The West has been developed
In excess Of It's necessities, and 1t re-
quires time to grow up to It's railways
and cities. In the meantime the capital
which Is being withdrawn from the
West must be used somewhere Why
not. then. In the South? Why shall not
1t be used to build Southern cities and
railroads and factories? Everything
depends on the Southern people them
selves.
Our contemporary very properly says
that there Is no good reason why the
next twenty years should not be a Pc
Rod of extraordinary development in
the Southern States. II only the South
ern people shall take wise measures to
have it so. 1t believes, however, that
all depends upon the Southern people
themselves. whether or not we shall
reach the much desired state. It holds
that the present time is the South's
opportunity and reminds its readers of
the old adage which says, that oppor-
tunides once lost are never regained.
What the South needs at this time, next

X RAYS CAN BE SEEM.
Their Effects ON Different Parts Of the
Human. Eye.

Their Effects ON Different. Parts Of tho
Human Eye.
DR.. Rrandes Of the University of
Halle has succeeded in rendering directly
visible the x rays discovered by Pro-
fessor Roentsen. The observation made
by Professor Salvioni, an Italian physi-
cist, that lenses are in a very slight de-
gree penetrable by Roentgen's rays,
suggested t. DR.. Brandes the idea that
the invisibility might be due to circum-
stances connected with this fact. He &C.
cordingly resolved to test the effect Of
Roentgen's rays on 1enseless eyes.
There arc many people who have had
the lenses OF their eyes removed as a
remedy for extreme shortsightedness or
for cataract. A girl who had had this
operation performed on both eyes, but
in whose right eye remnant of the lens
had been left, allowed the experiment
to be tried upon her.
Professor Dorm, whom DR. Brandes
had interested in the investigation, sub
jected the girl quite unexpectedly to the
rays, and, when the strong current
passed through the tube, which had beer
totally darkened, she declared that she
saw light with her left eye. Professors
Dorm and F~andes at first thought it
possible tina spark had leaped across,
but, when this had been rendered impc~-
sible, the girl continued to declare that
she saw ligft.
On further trying the experiment. the
two savants saw the light too. They
then continued their Investigations and
ascertained that Roentgen's rays really
affect the retina. IF we place our head,
completely; inclosed in an entirely
Opaque vessel, near the source of the
rays, we see light even with the closed
eyes, and we see it most clearly at the
periphery. Moreover, we continue to see
it even when large aluminium plate,
which would compl etely exclude electric
rays, is placed between Hittorf tube
and the eya Utter darkness, on tie
other hand, results if a thick pane If
glass, which, as is we'll known, is only
in a very slight degree penetrable y
Roentgen's rays, is placed between the
tube and the closed or covered eye

was q ser belonging to Count She
remetief one of the wealthiest noblesin
Russia. He had frequently entreated
4 the count to grant him his freedom, Of
fering him as much as $500, 600 for the
boon. But money was no object 10 the
count, and it gratif1ed his pride to feel
that one Of the leading bankers Of the
empire was one Of his serfs. unable to
marry either his sons; or his daughters
without his masters consent. Moreover,
as seTf, the banker was liable to have
his money seized and confiscated any
moment by the count, since every thing
that belonged to serf. including his
wife, children and property, belonged
ipso facto to his master
One day Shalounine. who had Just
that very morning returned to the capi-
tai from Odessa, called at the Shere-
metief palace for the purpose Of report
ing his arrival, as in duty bound to his
owner. He had brought with him a
barrel of delicious Crimean oysters for
presentation to the count, but left them
In his carriage at the palace door until
he should have obtained his master
intlmation that his gift was acceptable.
On entering the presence Of the count
the banker found him surrounded by a
party of guests and engaged in berating
his chief butler.for neglecting to pro-
vide oysters for the breakfast to which
they were about to sit down. The butler
was explaining to the count that there
were no oysters to be got in the capital
at That moment for love or money
Catching sight Of the serf banker the
count exclaimed:
Oh, it is thou again. Thou art come
to poster me once more for thy liberia
ton! Thou knowest that it is useless l
should not know what to do with thy
money. But stay, will tell thee some
thing. Get me some oysters for my
breakfast and thou shall have thy free
dom!'' .s .
Shalounine bowed low, left the room,
fetched the small barrel of oysters which
he had left in his carriage at the door,
and laid it at the feet Of his master
As soon as the barrel had been opened
the count called for a pen and paper,
wrote out declaration emancipatiEg
both the banker and his family from
serfdom, and then, bowling courteously
to the man who but a moment before
had been his slave, exclaimed, ''And,
now, my dear Mr.. Shalounine-will

ECONOMY OF SPACE.
Great Power Generating Station Which
Covers but Little Ground.

A Great Power Generating Station Which
Covers but Little Ground.
Probably no other kinds Of power
plants afford better illustrations Of the
tendency to concentration than some of
the modern splendidly equipped electric
stations in large cities, where ground
area has closely approached the. maxi
mum in value, and in which, therefore,
economic considerations have dictated
the putting Of as much generating APP
paratus into as little space as human
ingenuity would permit, with due re-
gard to satisfactory performance. In
some of these stations vertical engines
and boilers in Large units have been
installed to the entire exclusion of hori-
zontal designs, and in others, again, tie
saving in ground space thus secured has
been still further augmented by setting
engines and boilers in tiers, one above
the other, giving a ratio of horsepower
per square foot Of ground area which a
decade ago would have been thought
quite beyond the limits of possibility.
In probably no station in the world
has this concentration been carried out
to greater degree, or to as great one
even, as in that of the Edison Electric
Illuminating company in Duane street,
in the city of New York. The ground
covered by this measures 900 by ~ feet,
and within this area provision has been
made for nine $500 horsepower en-
gines, two of 1880 horsepower each
and three Of 600 horsepower, giving a
total Of very nearly 27,000 horsepower,
with a corresponding boiler plant, or
only a little less than two horsepower
per square foot. It would seem, indeed,
as though economy in space could not
we'll be carried much farther. Cassier's
