Il was very soon seen that the dscov-
cry made by Tesla OF the x-rays. would
have a far reaching effect. 1t was pre-
dicted that they would be found valuable
to physicians in the location of fractures
and foreign substances in the human
body, but il was scarcely anticipated that
they would be made use OF by lawyers
to manufacture testimony or afford the
basis on which to found damaging cross
examination.
A very remarkable instance OF this is af-
forded by a case which will soon come
up for trial in a New York court A ten
ement owner undertook to turn out a
tenant. partly by legal and partly by
physical process. which was followed by
a suit for 5000 damages for injuries al

an area way which broke a childs leg.
suggested to the property owner to have
his own physician examine the child, and
as that was refused an order was OBJ
tained from the court compelling submits
sion. The child was found with his leg
encased in a very heavy plaster of Paris
cast. about an inch and a half thick. The
doctor took Roentgen ray photograph
which showed not only that none OF the
homes OF the leg had been broken. but
that they were In an unusually healthy
condition. The photograph win form a
part OF the testimony when the case is
heard.
Amateurs are warned that these rays
are not so harmless as they were sup
posed 10 be- and a new disease may arise
from their use. A German. whose skull
held a bullet, was subjected to the ac-
ton or the X-ray IN an effort TO locate
the missile. Only one part of his head
was exposed 10 the rays, the rest being
shielded. About a fortnight afterwards
| the hair began TO fall Off. and within the
range Of the rays his scalp is now as
clean as if there had never been hair
| upon 1t. While the rest OF his head is as
thickiy covered as ever.
Another instance comes from an East
ern state, where local expert experiment

an attempt to locate an injury 10 young

numbness at the places where the rays
had penetrated. the outer flesh took the
appearance Of scald, and an eruption
began which Threatened the tissue. The
symptoms have puzzled physicians and
tho profession Is watching the result with
much interest Tesla was appealed to-
and he relates that he has had the same
experience due 10 the inconsiderate use

The state OF Illinois Is determined to

lature, but 1t was declared uneonstitu-
iicnai. This year a bill has also been

from all citizens generally. Nearly every
one believes in celebrating Independence
day, and the programme outlined for this
year indicates that the occasion will be
one OF the most notable in, the history of
Seattle. The intention is to make it
grand affair-a Fourth" that will be long
remembered. No other cities in the state
propose to make the celebration one of un-

thousands OF visitors will be present TO
assist in making the festivities a success.
