middle and the outline of the glasses.
They have also made some interesting
experiments to test the resistance to
the invisible rays offered by wood of
varying thickness. One would naturally
suppose that pine board half an inch
in thickness would offer more resistance
to the rays than one only quar- ter of
an inch thick, but as matter Of fact
there seems to be no apprsciable differ
ence. Wood Of varying thickness was
placed over coins and the coins photo
graphed, it taking about the same length
of time to make the pictures in each case
and the pictures being equally clear and
distinct. Good results have been obtained
in photographing the bones OF the human
hand. Mr.. Kendalps experiment. with
the mouse last evening was for similar
purpose and was successful, although not
TO the degree which it was hoped to at
tain. This was due to the fact that the
machine was not working as we'll as
usual, the revolving glass plate having
been broken during the day and the one
which replaced 1t still being somewhat
damp Notwithstanding this draw back,
the plate in the box on which lay the
dead mouse, when developed. was found
to be a picture in which could be traced
the bones of the head and legs, but not
the spinal column and ribs. The pic
ture of the mouse was obtained after an
exposure of an hour and half, the rays
of course having to penetrate the body
of the mouse, and the cover of the box
to reach the plate beneath. The picture
of the glasses In the case was taken in
the same way, the rays penetrating the
case and two covers of the.pasteboard
box in which was the plate. An exhibit
ion of the work accom- plished and how
it was done. will bs given soon for the
teachers of some of the schools. Certain
ly Messrs. Caswell and Kendall have
reason to congratulate themselves on the
success OF their work, especially when the
means at their command are considered.

RoENT0EN RAYS.
Successful Experiments by Messrs. Caswell
and Kendall at the High School.

In the physical laboratory at the High
School building, some interesting ex-
periments have Eeen made during the
past month. Saturday night one OF them
was in progress. A dead mouse lay On
pasteboard box and over him flashed
and glittered the pale green light in
Crookes' tube. A Roentgen picture was
bel ng made Of the mouse, the box on
which his body lay containing photo
grapher's plate. These experiments at
the High School building are especially
worthy of note, because they have been
conducted with the aid of static ma
chine instead of the induction coil gem
orally used. 1t was about month ago
that Mr.. Caswell, the teacher of physics,
and Mr.. Ralph 7. Kendall began the
taking of ray pictures. They used no
elaborate apparatus. In the High
