each molecule comes in contact with
ond. Then Mr.. knight went back to Sir
William Crookes' tubes, and applied the
molecules to them, as it were-that is, he
said that within the last twenty-five
years the noted physicist had made
many valuable discoveries, one of which
was that when the air in tube was re-
duced to 1-100, 900 dark space near the
cathode or negative portion of the tube
resulted, leaving the rest in a glow and
that it was the impact of one molecule
on another molecule in the air that was
left that produced the light; and further.
that it was the vibration on that wall of
the Crookes tube which receives the i'm
pact from the cathode rays, and the ap-
plication Of electricity to a high vacuum
in the tube, which produces the X-rays,
the Roentgen rays, which go through all
organic matter, all substances ordinarily
opaque, but do not penetrate metal or
other dense matter. Following Mr.
Knights remarks, ST. John Day gave a
short talk along the same lines.
DR.. Yoakum then took the floor and ex-
planned that whereas it took about 500
voltage to run the street cars, the ca
thode rays took $500, 900 voltage, and
their vibrations were at the rate of a
billion times billion a second. He then
referred briefly to the coil, regulators,
Crookes' tube and the screens which are

whole, and then began with his demon
stration. The first, by high voltage on
glass plate covered on one side with
tin foil, "Wiliam Roentgen" showed
distinctly as the rays touched the fine
wire with which the name was written.
On another glass some letters and marks
were made with a common lead pencil,
and these although not as plain as the
wire, were discernible.
In the third demonstration, DR..
Yoakum, placing a screen covered with
rungstate of calcium in front of the
tube, had the current turned on, and
then invited the audience to approach
and demonstrate to their own satisfac-
faction, and an interesting array of
hands, through which the bones and the
rings showed, purses with and without
money, in which latter case all that
showed was the metal clasp. and vari-
Gus other objects were viewed through
the screen, including broken arm, in
which the knitting Of the bone was
plainly visible.
At this jurcture Mr.. Wesner made a
triple flash light photograph of the all
dience, and cathode ray photograph
was made of the, broken arm before men
toned and the hand of a lady. These

HE WANTED ANOTHER STAR
Larney Got Drunk, Disturbed the
Peace, Paid for His Fun

Tom Larney, who preferred charges
against Officer Shields before the police
commission few weeks ago, where he
appeared in the role of a hard-worklng e
man who had been overcharged for an
official service, has again been dallying
with policemen. Saturday night he sue
ceeded in getting himself arrested on
charge of disturbing the peace. He ap-
peared in the police court yesterday and
told pitiful tale to justify himself, but
Justice Owens fined him So which he
paid.
Officer Matuskewiz arrested Larney.
According to his statement he was at
tracted to Hugh Smiths saloon at the
corner of First and Los Angeles streets
at II o'clock Saturday right by a disturb
ance which he heard there. On going
inside he saw Larney standing at the
bar and addressing abusive language to
the barkeeper. He was intoxicated at
the time. He told Larney that he would
have to refrain from his boisterous con-
duct. The man replied with an oath and
walked out to the street. Here he eX~
pressed the state of his feelings by
humping ir,to two or three women He
soon returned to the saloon and rene wed
the row, The policeman again ordered
him to be quiet. This had only the ef-
feet of bringing forth another torrent
of cuss words. Larney was then er-

agreement on a schedule at which m eats
are to be sold. Owing to the recent scar
city in the cattle supply the wholesale
price of beef has advanced 10 per cent,
and it is the object of the association TO
raise the retail price of meat to corre-
spond with wholesale prices. After con-
siderable discussion a schedule of prices
was agreed upon, which is printed else
where.
One other important point was settled
1t was decided hereafter to close all meat
shops on Sundays and at 7 o'clock or
