MR.. EDISON'S LATEST.


Expecss Soon to Bs Able tn Sec Through
the Body.
NEW YORK, Feb. 0.-Thomas A.
Edison is about to give to the world
another discovery, as wonderful in its
way as the Horoscope, by means Of
which he puts the X rays to practical
use in revealing the bony structure Of
the body.
1T was" said he, 1.-The action of the
x ray ON crystals Of platinocyanide of
barium, which caused Roentgen to
make the original discovery. Imme-
diately afterwards l discovered that
tungstate Of calcium was more power
full, and / constructed a practical in
strument for utilizing the crystals in
connection with the X ray"
Tungstate of calcium not being suffi-
ciently sensitive to transform the
strange light discovered by Roentgen
into light that would so illuminate
the interior Of the human body as to
render its most delicate tissues visible
in other words, to make it transpar-
ent Mr.. Edison set about to find O
crystal that would possess the requisite
quality.
He has discovered one. Its name he
will not yet reveal, saying that he is
still experimenting with it, and desires
to exhaust its possibilities before an
nouncing it to the world. BY means
of the newly discovered crystals, Mr..
Edison can now disclose to the eye Of
the surgeon organs and tissues that
have hitherto been seen only in the
dissecting room and on the operating
table. 1t is possible that when he per-
fects his new discovery, the slightest
arrangement Of the system will be re-
vealed to the doctors sight. In speak
ing Of his work, Mr.. Edison said:
"For the last six months have been
experimenting for the production of
chemical crystals which should have
the peculiar property of giving out
light when subjected to the action Of
that mysterious force called provision
ally the x ray of Roentgen.
II have found one metal which is
more sensitive to the K ray than any
heretofore known, but I shall keep on
trying until little hope is left Of finding
anything better.
Should succeed in finding just what
am after, there is little doubt that the
Horoscope will become an instrument
of great value to the surgeon, for, by
it he will be able to make accurate di.
agnosis Of the internal organs.

TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS.

Bill in North Dakota Providing for .
Trust Fund by State Banks.
BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. Ex-senator
T. F. Marshall. himself banker, has
introduced into the legislature bill
for the greater safety of depositors in
state banks.
1t is made obligatory for every state
bank to place in the state treasury each
year a sum equal to one-half of / per
cent of the deposits of the bank. When
any bank fails, after the affairs of the
bank have been made public, the re.
ceiver of the bank shall be empowered
to draw upon the state treasurer for a
sum sufficient to make up the loss of
the depositors in this bank, provided

the sum in the treasury.
The bill will certainly be passed, and
it is predicted that it will become in
favor in all states.

AN OFFICIAL REPORT.

Tranquility Again Rsigns at Canea-Five
Thousand Christians Fled.
CANEA, Crete, Feb. 9.-It is officially
announced that the fires have been to-
tally quencked. In all, according to
the official report, 200 buildings have
been destroyed and 5000 Christians
have fed. OF this number 1000 are on
board the British warships. The Greek
warships have taken of the balance of
the Christian refugees.
In conclusion the official report says
that tranquility reigns in the town and
in it's vicinity, and that the Turkish
troops throughout behaved in an or
derly manner. No excesses are re.
ported on their part, and it is asserted
there has been no pl1ndering.

GREECE Is READY.

believed She VIII Insist Upon . Uuiea
with Crete-Oaarrel With Turkey.
ATHENS, Feb. 8. The announce
ment that Prince George, second son Of
the king Of Greece, will command the
torpedo feet which is now in readiness
to start for Crete to join the Greek
sQuadron, has added strength to the
rumors that Greece will insist upon
q union with Crete. It is q we'll known
fact that the Christians, who are now
in possession Of the whole island with
the exception of Heraklion and Retina,
are only awaiting q signal from Greece
to proclaim union with that country.
The present uprising in Crete Is looked
upon by many statesmen in this coun-
try as q move ON the part Of the sultan
of Turkey to draw the attention Of Eng
hand, France and Russia away from
Constantinople Greece, whose quarrel
with Turkey has been growing more
serious from day to day, has not hesi-
tated to take advantage of the excesses
of the Turkish soldiers on the island
and is sending all of her naval force
there Should the sultan regard this
move as a challenge, there would be
presented complications which will
quickly force the hands Of the powers
in dealing with the Turkish situation.
These fresh and unantIcipated diff
culties, the sultan is no doubt aware,
will put strain upon the harmony be-
tween the powers which has only exist
ed for a short time. The sultan, there
fore, will naturally be only too glad to
destroy the unity of purpose among the
powers at the expense of controversy
with Greece.
Failed to Salute Turkey.
The Greek squadron on arriving at
Canea, did not salute the Turkish flag.
Official advices say that the Mussul-
mans are preparing massacre at Re-
timo The representatives of some of
the powers have expressed to the Greek
government surprise that Greece has
sent warships to the island Of Crete.
Three thousand people took part in a
manifestation in front of the ministry
of marine There were continued cries
Of "long live Crete; long live the
Union"

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Feb. &C. w.
Arnell, all old timer, who resides on
an extensive stretch of bottom land q
short distance north of here ON the
Missouri river, fully believes that the
"Big Muddy" will be on the rampage
in the spring, and that the food at
that time will rival the memorable one
in the spring Of 1881. In accordance
with this belief, which is occasioned by
the vast amount of snow which has
fallen throughout the entire region
drained by the Missouri, he is prepar.
ing to remove his stock and other prop
erty to higher ground before the break
ing up Of the river. He will not re.
move his house but will anchor it to
posts sunk at each corner to prevent it
being carried away should the expected
food occur.
