"THE Eye
This was the subject of the lecture given
Monday evening by DIR. j. Sutcliffe Hill
He gave technical but at the same time
an interesting and instructive talk. He
said that the mechanism of the eye COM
prised seven nerves, seven coverings, seven
layers of the retina, seven muscles, seven
arteries, seven bones, and there are seven
colors in the spectrum. He said that this
classification by sevens was not technically
true, but near enough for purposes Of
popular illustration. The doctor proved
graceful speaker and demonstrated that
he is thoroughly conversant with the SUBJ
ject he handled. A rising vote of thanks
was given him and Max Firgau, who gave
two violin solos.

Y RAYS IN CONSUMPTION.
The Results of Some Experiments by
Two Chicago Physicians.


"A number of well-known physicians of
Chicago have been treating an almost
hopeless case of consumption with di-
rect application of Y rays through the
lungs, says the Electric Engineer, and al
though they are not prepared positively
to state that the disease has found its
cure some of them are forced to the con-
clusion that the result has been wonder
fui. One signs his name to the declara-
ton that 1.-the eff cts so far have been lit

conservatives They speak only of the
changes actually recorded and waive final
Judgment until the patient shall have
been subjected to the new discovery for Il
second period of five weeks.
Professor III. u. Pratt, who carried on
the first experiments, with Professor
Hugo Wightman, prepared his electrical
apparatus and his Crool;es tubes for the
application. The patient, whose face was
withered and full of wrinkles, came into
the laboratory supported by his mother.
His temperature was 103 l.2, pulse 100,
respiration, 81. His chest was barred,
the tube placed in direct contact with the
flesh. The exposure was for three hours
At the end there was Il decrease of two
degrees in the temperature, the pulse
leaped to 120, and the respiration..fell to

of several physicians, and the boy was al
lowed TO 20 home with no other remedies
than such sJimulants as would have been
given to all patients under the same cir
cumstauceS.
With subsequent treatment continued
improvement has taken place during the
five weeks. Signed statements of the
doctors who have attended the treatment
of the young man are published in the
Chicago TimeS-IIerald.
If the apparently successful results here
recorded are due to any other causes than
imagination, which psychologists have
shown are capable of producing most
wonderful changes in pathological condi-
tionS, they may, perhaps. find an cXpla-

Edison some time ago. Assuming, he
said, that the rays are analogous to the

it is known, are destructive to bacteria

agent which Is capable Of passing through
the flesh and acting directly on the dis
eascd organs.

If there is an increase in travel from
the East to Chicago during the next few
months, correspondent of the New
York sun may very properly receive the
credit of having started it with his state
ment that the bicycle girls of the Windy
City "all go out in their stockings
alone" Following are his own words
descriptive of the difference between New
York and Chicago cycling girls:
There is II lot of difference between the
New York bicycle girl land the Chicago

favorite promenade of the Chicago bicy-
clists, and there are as many of them
there every afternoon as there are on the
Boulevard in New York. In New York
the girls who wear boomers all wear leg
gings with them. Out here not one bicy
clist in 200 wear leggings. They all 90
out in their stockings ,alone. In the two
blocks walk from the Leland to the
Auditorium yesterday afternoon, the Sun
reporter counted twenty-five young
women who were dressed in boomers,
and not Il single one of them had any
thing over their calves except stockings.
One of them wore tight trousers that
came only to her knees, and below them
she had on pretty pair of opera stock
ings, with clocks and other things on
the sides. 1t is not only the bicycle girls
that are different from the New York
girls. Coming along State street last
night, Il handsome young woman and her
escort stopped in front of IL store, and
the young woman left the escort stand
ing in the middle of the sidewalk while
she stepped over to the store window, put
her foot upon the sill, calmly raised up
her dress and pulled up her stocking.
