X Ray" 20 60 Read Sealed Letters.

Chester Feninmore of Fremont, O.. d,
who has devoted years of study to pho
Biography and electricity, claims to have
discovered a method by which invisible
objects can be seen, just as photographs
are now taken, in accordance with
Roentgen's process.
He claims that when the instrument
is completed the beating of the heart
can be seen, or that sealed letters in a
pocket at distance can be distinctly
read. The basis of this instrum9u cut for
seeing the invisible, as claimed by Fen
inmore, is fuorescence produced by the
x rays Of a Crookes tube. -Cincinnatl

A Curious Custom That Prevails in Hol-

land.
From Buch fur ALE.
A curious Gust M prevails in some pro
vinces of Holland during the carnival
season. Young women of the working
class, especially domestic servants, who
have no sweetheart of their own, are in
the habit of hiring followers" for their
Sunday out, or for the whole of the car
nival period. These lovers are by no
means to be had very cheap. Often two
or three maids will club together and
share lover amoag them if he comes
too expensive for one girl.
