the sensitiZed plate.
The photographer laughed because he
saw something peculiar about the joints
OF the hand Later, when an X-ray palm
ist got to work upon the radiOgTaph he
found that he had the very acme OF Oh
stinacy in the joints OF the Mckinley
hand.
Take hold of the fingers OF anyone you
know ami squeeze the joints. IL the per-
sou is obstinate in disposition, the joints
will feel like kuots. IL easy to get along
with, pliable and sweet, the Joints will be
soft yielding that you can scarcely feel
them.
The Mckinley Joints are ike rocks; and
they show what palmistry could never in
the world have shown indehDle, undying
firmness.
The hand OF Victoria concentrates in
the third finger, the finger Of Apollo,
the love finger This i 5 filled with
nerves and is supplied with fuller veins
than there are in most third fingers.
When the shadow graph was taken Of
the hand of the queen in Windsor by
the court physician, who amuses her
majesty with all new ply siOlOgical ex-
periments, this popularity was explained
10 her. and highly delighted she was by it.
The finger OF love in her case is the
largest OF the hand 1t is heavy, ir-
regular and powerful woman with a

useful old maid. for she Will do house,

DE RESZKE LIKE A WOMAN.
An X-ray fiend went TO a great denI
of trouble to get picture of the hand II
: the tenor Jean de Reszke Afterwards ne
| was sorry he did so, for the hand. instead
| Of slowing great talent and manliness, was
| The model OF a lady's hand.
| The pointed fingers were tTaceable 10 the
| small pointed bones. These never are placed
in human organism that 5 dull and stupid.
| Women have these small. delicate. tapering
| bones, and De ReZsIle has them The fingers,
| too, lie close together. and there Is the deli
| cate curve Of the thumb.
\ man whose X-ray hand shows small
| tapering bones. and who has few blood YES
| sells in his hands, or whose blood vessels
| are lightly filled, is either a man who is
in poor health or one who has some pecu-
liar gift. Painters may have such hand,
| and this opera singer has one. But you
| may look for them more IN the hands OF
violinists, people who love to touch a
| string and listen to the vibration. Their
| sensitive souls find cOnipaniOnship there.
The X-ray palmist says that every person
should have a shadowgraph OF the hand
| made. 1t can be done with a sensitiZed
plate and an X-ray light. A glow worm
will give the light. And the plate can
he fought Of any photographer. With ic
you can read the hand correctly.
This new palmist sCoffs at the mounts
Of Mercury, Apollo. Saturn and Jupiter;
and says that the names VIII hereafter
he used in palnistry only to designate
the bOny structures. But the lines and
the marks, the dots and the Maltese
crosses, now so fanCifully depicted by
| palmIsts, will lose their significance
This 5 a gauntlet thrown down % palm
lists, and public contests OF handreadings
with and without the X-ray, may be ex.
pected.
