In one experiment Swinton made for
the Royal Photographic society. a sensitive
plate was put in q cardboard box. A lady
put her hand on the plate. The cover was
put on the box and then a porcelain bowl
was put over all the things. Next the
whole arrangement was put In thick
black bag and q Crookes tube was held
three inches above the bag. After due OK
posture the hand of the lady was seen in
skeleton outline. All the delicate bones
were perfectly articulated, each In faint
haze that indicated the shape Of the flesh.
All the joints were rs clear as II one saw
the real ones, and the lady's ring hung
wide and loose on the bone OF the middle
finger. The picture gave her no nails, and
now 1t appears that finger nails will not
photograph.

Certain marks on some Of the pictures
suggested the brush form of electricity
and Clifford declared the new force to be
an electric phenomenon. He says 1t has
long been known that radiators from ar
ordinary induction coil strongly affect 9

stances are interposed. Years ago Philip
Braham showed the British association
that emanations from an electric magnet
caused by an unsteady electric current act
like light on plate inclosed in an Opaque
covering. 1t has since been found that ema
nations from even an ordinary electric
bell penetrate opaque wrappings Of sensi

Mon Should Attend Afternoon Teas and
Functions In Business Dress.
Washington society is enjoying fad
that has spread rapidly and has taken a
firm hold. It is regarded now as the
proper thing for a man to attend afternoon
teas and other like functions dressed in
ordinary rough and ready business clothes
or even in an outing suit. During tha
entire social season men have been noticed
making afternoon calls dressed In sack
suits and oolored shirts, and while at first
they were looked upon a. being from the
country they are regarded now as the early
disciples Of a new cult. .~.. q 49,. --s9

The London experiments thus far are
much simpler than the foreign, the papers
giving scientific explanations Of the meth.
dds of Roentgen not yet translated. 1t if
stated that Crookes' tube Is obtainable al
any chemical apparatus shop, but is not
necessary. An ordinary electric light
bulb, from which the carbon filament has
been removed, will answer just as we'll.
Some authorities assert that the new
power is electricity. Others believe that
Roentgen has discovered new form OF
energy which probably works with longi'
tudinal and not transverse vibrations.
Whether this energy merely e1cites fuores'
cence which causes the formation OF an In
visible image capable of development, o,
whether the new energy actually affects
the photograph film, is an open question.
Swinton, who leads In experiments In
London, uses very complex apparatus.
He takes tube, fuses q platinum wire to
each end and makes as near an approach
to vacuum as possible. He then con.
meets the tube with tho electric street
mains, taking the current through an In
duction coil, which charges battery OF
is Leyden Jars. This discharges into q
higher frequency coil standing in an oil
bath, and secondary coil from this Il
connected with the tube. BE uses an ex.

Conviction of Rev. William Nelson,
CoIored.

Some months ago the store of Mr. White
near Free Union Albemarle county, was
burned and with it the body of his clerk Thos
W Thompson 1t was after some time
developed that Thompson had been killed in
a negro cabin near by and that his body had
been carried into the store which was then
burned. He was killed by Taylor Hartman,
colored, who struck him ON the back of the
head with pot-hook whilst sitting before the
fire. His body was then carried out by Taylor
Hartman and Rev VIM Nelson, colored.
A few weeks ago Taylor Hartman was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to be hung On June
9th.
Last week, Rev VIM Nelson was tried as an
accessory, and on Monday last the Jury found
him guilty. His counsel made motion for a
new trial.
1t is thought that the charge of completely
against Reuben Douglas, colored, and Stephen
Points, colored, will be nolle prosecuted.

So He Withdrew.

The combine had a good deal of trouble
Monday with J. H. Allen the colored candi-
date for Justice of the Peace in the First
Ward. Whether he was scared off, or begged
off. or bought off has not transpired, but it is
stated that there we're candidates on the indie
pendent ticket who would not run if negro
candidate was in the field, or on the ticket, so
how to get Allen off was the question. The
clerk had certified his name to the Electoral
board, who have charge of the ticket printing.
Allen went to the board and asked to with
draw his name The board replied that they
had not put it on the list and could not take
it off Then the Atty. General was telegraph
ed to, and he gave it as his opinion that the
candidate could withdraw any time before
the tickets were printed. Allen then went to
the Clerk and withdrew his name. So the in
dependents will not be compelled to trayel in
the same boat with the colored candidate up
Salt River.
