BECQUERELPS STRANGE DISCOv-
cry

There Is another discovery that may
have an important bearing on Mr.. Edf-
sens experiments and that suggests
remarkable possibilities in the realm Of
light manipulation. 1t is that of the
French chemist Becquerel that certain
crystals of the salts of the metal ura-
MUM, when subjected to the action Of
sunlight and then taken into a dark
room, give off a new and hitherto I'M
known ray which possesses the same
property as the X-ray-that Of pene-
tTating Opaque substances.
Il am very much interested in Bee
quereps discovery" said Mr. Edison.
The rays from these salts Of uranium
penetrate opaque objects and give pho
tcgraphic Impressions. Other expert
mentors have discovered that other
crystals, among which may be men
toned white sugar, have the same
property
Strange and curious results that
may materially add to our stock Of
knowledge of the unseen world about
us may develop from our experiments
with these chemical crystals which we
are now subjecting to the various
forces Of nature. I am very hopeful
for the results of these experiments"
Does not this discovery of Bee
querel's,' asked the reporter, "open up
an entirely new field for scientific re-
search ?"
THAT science is now entering upon
a new and wonderful field fraught with
great possibilities, replied Mr.. Edison.

through the action of the light stream

POWER OF THE x-RAYS.

Since then he has been more eau
uous with his experiments. When too
close to the X-ray bulbs the pain,
ne says, comes out at once. While
talking with Mr.. Daily of this mani
festation Of the power Of the X-rays,
Mr.. Edison suggested that possibly
the rays might have some action upon
bacteria
Have you made any experiments
on that line?' asked the reporter.
No, not yet replied the wizard,
but psychologists have taken up the
SUBJECT and are, I understand, still
conducting their Investigations.
If in time the bacteriologist sue
ceeds in destroying all pathogenic bac-
terra, and, on the other hand, the sur
geon, by the aid of more sensitive
microscopes and fluorescing photo
graphic plates, is enabled to view the
internal organs of the body with suf-
hc1ent clearness to make accurate di-
agnos1s, L believe that human life will
only be limited by old age, accident
or dissipation"

COLLECTED CHEMICALS.

II first purchased In this country and
Europe all the chemicals known and
sold in the trade which I did not al
ready possess These were all tried in
the microscope. Only one was found
equal in sensitiveness to tungstate Of
calcium. Since then my chemists have
been making chemical combinations
not procurable elsewhere"
Your chemists must produce a large
number Of new combinations" ven
tured the reporter.
Their average is thirty new cheni-
cal substances day. Every one Of
these is subjected to the X-ray and it's
Huorescing power, if any is measured .
And do any Of them compare favor
ably in huOreScing power with tung-
state of calcium?"
Il have found one chemical which is
more sensitive to the X-ray than any
heretofore known. But l shall keep on
trying until little hope is left of finding
anything better
When do you suppose the chances Of
such discovery will be exhausted?"
Practically never. For when you
remember how many chemicals there
are, and then calculate the number Of
possible combinations, you will find
that they run up into hundreds of mil
lions"
THE possibilities of this discovery.
MI. Edison, in their relation to surgery
seem immense"
Yes. Should I succeed in finding
just what ] am after there is no doubt
that the Horoscope will become an
Instrument of great value to the sur
geon, for by it he will be able to make
accurate diagnosis Of the internal or

PROPERTIES RE-
VEALED.
Properties Hitherto Undreamed Of
in Common Sugar-EGects ON
Bacteria.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Thomas A
Edison is about to give to the world
another discovery as wonderful in it's
way as the Horoscope.
BY means Of the Horoscope Mr.. Edi-
son put to practical use the discovery
of the so-called X-rays by Prof Roent-
gen. His latest discovery is a further
development on this same line
MI. Edison, realizing the limitations
Of the Horoscope, it's power, when ap-
piled to the human body-for in it's
surgical possibilities lies it's greatest
benefit to mankind-being confined to
revealing the bony structure and the
dim outlines of such solid organs as
the heart, determined to find if posi-
BILE, some substance Of more sensitive
quality than the tungstate Of calcium
used in the Horoscope
1T was" says he, the action Of the
X-ray on crystals Of platinocyanide of
barium which caused Roentgen to make
the original discovery. Immediately
afterwards I discovered that tungstate
Of calcium was more powerful, and I
constructed practical instrument for
utilizing the crystals in connection with
the X ray
Tungstate Of calcium not being suf-
flctently sensitive to transform the
strange light discovered by Roentgen
into light that would so illuminate
the interior Of the human body as to
render it's most delicate tissues visible
in other words, to make it transpar-
ent-Mr. Edison set about to find a.
crystal that would possess the requi-
site quality.

Mr.. Edison took the reporter into the

Will not yet reveal, saying that he is
still experimenting with it, and desires
to exhaust its possibilities before an

Less than year ago it was thought
marvellous when the bones Of the hand
were photographed. But by means Of
the newly discovered crystals Mr.. Edi-
son can now disclose to the eye Of the
surgeon organs and tissues that have
hitherto been seen only in the dissect-
ing room and on the operating table

so sensitive are these crystals that
man with his eyes bandaged may
discern objects, which suggests the
possibility that to the eyes Of the blind
the world around them may become
a visual reality.
In speaking of his work to a reporter
for the World, Mr.. Edison said:
For the last six months 1 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.

is today, only the bones Of the body

THE GOLD STANDARD IN CHILL.

industrial prostration following
the adoption of the single gold
standard is not confined to the Uni
ted States, Other debtor nations
which have taken that unwise
course are experiencing evils similar
to those which now afilict us.
In the mass of news dispatches a
few days ago was one which has prob.
ably not received the attention it
merits. 1t was dated at Valparai-
so the 2lst inst, and read;
Great distress prevails here and
throughout Chill, There is a lack
of orders and nearly all manufac-
turers have closed their shops, Idle
workingmen congregate in many of
the towns and beg the authorities
for employment to save themselves
and families from starvation. One
thousand artisans of this city who
are without work have appointed a
delegation to visit the President at
Santiago and present to him a me-
mortal showing their desperate sit
uation.
About a year ago Chill went to
the single gold basis, At that time
the fact was proclaimed as add.
tional evidence Of the progress of
monometalism Chill was lauded
as the most progressive of all the
South American republics, and the
people of this country were assured
that they should take the action of
that government as guide for their
own conduct, Probably the fact
and the assertion had something to
do with impressing some minds with
the belief that gold was to become
the universal standard,
All the progress and posperity of
Chill were attained in the years
when silver had the largest place In
her coinage, Her war OF conquest
with Peru, and the immense for
tunes realized by some Of her peo-
pie in consequence, led to a demand
for money OF the highest power in
the payment of debts, Besides
this influence, British interests in
Chill are many and powerful and
these contributed largely to forcing
the action which has brought about
the present deplorable conditions
Chill is not as well prepared to
withstand the prostratlng effects Of
a gold standard as are the United
States, What Is continued hard
ship Tor us must soon result In ruin
for Chill, unless her people revolt
against the despotsm Of wealth,

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The rank and file of the Populist,
Democratic and Republican parties are
sincere and honest, but each of these
parties possess leaders, some of whom
are corrupt wire-workers, and tricks
tiers, who for INT poor morsel of off
cial pottage would sacrifice their prin
ciples, and sell out their respective par
ties to which they owe their allegiance.
As long as the Gold Bugs of the parties
controlled and were allowed to formu
late the platforms in interest of the
money power, corporations, syndicates
and trusts, it was all right, but as soon
as the people began to think and act
for themselves, it was all wrong.
When the masses through their repre-
sentatives at Chicago and ST. Louis
formulated platforms to suit the con-
dition Of the downtroden people, it was
ell wrong, and their opponents de-
nounced them as revolutionists, 7AoL
this juncture was born the Palmer
and Buckner izzle, to aid in the cleo
ton of Mckinley. I am no populist,
nor do l approve of all things that
party has done, but I am free to admit,
had it not been for that party, the PEG
pie would never have been educated as
to their rights, and would be as sheep
lead to the slaughter. The populist
and democrats represent silver, and
expansion of currency, which the coun
try needs to make it prosperous. The
republicans represent the gold stand
ard, which means contraction and de
preston Of business. We must elect q
Senator from North Carolina this ses
sion of the Legislature. Will it be a
true silver man, who believes in pros
perity Of the masses, or will it be a
gold bug man, who believes it best to
contract the currency of the country,
making the rich richer, the poor poorer.
What claims has Mr.. Pritchard on the
people of North CarolinaR They favor
free coinage of silver, yet he is against
it. Populist and democrats have vic
tory in their grasp, they can send a
silver man to the United States Senate.
Will they abandon principle and send
Pritchard an avoWed gold bugs II
they do, they deserve the condemna-
ton of all true silver men.
Respectfully,
