Paris, April 15.-Discoveries of the
properties of the x-rays go on apaee, and
the scientific world is watching with
the closest interest the experiments that
are being made to determine the effect
of the rays upon the human system. at
meeting OF the Academy of Sciences Tues
day night there was a discussion OF the
latest x-ray phenomena, which was par
ticipated in by several authorities on the
subject.
Prof Sorle, OF the Havre Lyce0In, de,
cIared that he had found danger in the use
OF the rays, they having caused In many
persons violent inflammation of the lungs.
Prof Crooke. the inventor OF the tubes
bearing his name, which are used in de
veioping the rays, was present and took
part in the discussion He said the ef-
feet of the rays was varied, and that some
patients like the burning sensation pro-
duced by them
Prof Lanneiopgue the distinguis he'd
French surgeon, gave an extremely in
taresting account of a phenomenon he
had recently witnessed He said that
a number Of children were playing in
courtyard in the shadow of a wall, the
top of which was under strong sunlight
Suddenly several of the children began to
act in most peculiar manner, dancing
around, each with his hand On his head
and crying out: my head burns
Prot. Lannelongue examined the heads
of the children and found blisters ON their
scaips In trying to account to himself
for the phenomenon he wondered il the
blisters had been produced by x-rays pro-
lected from the top of the wall. be in
stituted in his laboratory q series OF ex-
periments upon several persons Some
of these, when exposed to the action of
the rays were protected by stroDtium glass.
These were not affected, but the other
persons experimental upon who were not
similarly protected were affected like the
children had been. Prof. Lanelongue tie
clared that he believed that x-rays by
discoveries, would cause change to be
made in the whole treatment OF sunstroke.
He added that the ancient Greeks We're
not fools w whenthey covered their heads with
helmets and their chests and backs with
light metal cuirasses. Perhaps an anti
sunstroke helmet, he concluded, would

binding Irvine ana Cotton Ties.

When some of our Southern members
of Congress go home to their a,lmir;ng con-
stitGents they may be asked the question,
why did you sit around like the tfadi-
tional bump ON the mythooglcal log and
never make move to enbarrass the emmy
tariff robbers who left binding twiDe on
the free list, for the benefit of the West,
and taxed the South ON cotton ties f1r
the benefit of the trusts?'
It is due to Mr.. Dingiey to say that
he fought vigorously against this departure
from the pure doctrine oftaxing everything
in sight. The Ways aud Means Republican
members from Illinois, Iowa, Indiana,
Minnesota, and North Dakota were too
many for him, however, and he was re-
iuctantly compelled to release his ciammy
grip on the binding twtne OF the horny
handed Western farmer.
A little wool was then pulled over the
eyes of Southern opposition. Just enough
to placate it, aud induce it TO enter ''nolie
proseaui' as to the subsequent proceed
ings But when politically caponized mem
bers reach hone they will ba apt to discover
that the end is not yet.

The Presidents message to the Con-
rress. urging speedy. action on the invita-
tion of France, asking this country to take
part In the Paris exposition OF 1900, is
of public interest. 1t is especially so at
this time, because it will develop the
possihility or otherwise of moving the

that the nations business shall be Blocked

ton, it will be too late to do anything at

annoyance an unsuccessful one can give

the Executive.
Perhaps there are considerations con-
necte / with this French exhibition matter
that might render its discussion in the
House highly inoonvenient to the Auto
crat, and Objectionable to the native and
foreign Spanish legations in Washington.
It would lac difficult to debate the cour-
teous invitation of France without the risk
OF some reference to that time when our
forefathers were " aging war Of heroic
despair against tho mighty and cruel power
of Great Britain, exactly as the people OF
Cuha today are struggling against bloody,
denoRiac Spain. IL might be hardly pos
sibIe to suppress mention of the fact that,
but for the generous and noble aid Of the
government and people Of France, We
would have teen conquered; that but for
their prompt recognition OF our belligerency
our patriots taken in battle would have
been hanged as traitors; that but for French
intervention, and the active aid OF the

work around among the paralyzed brains
OF the suppressed membership, it might
be electrified and shamed into some at

This would be very obnoxious to both

TEARS LEGITIMATE ARGUMENTS
Legally Decided That Lawyers Have
Right to Shed Them.

Cincinnati, April 15--Thc current num-
ber of the Southwestern Reporter, con-
tains the decision of Judge wilkes, OF the
supreme court OF Tennessee, in case in
which, among other things, it was held
that the jury had been unduly influenced
by the tears Of counsel in argument. Judge
Wilkes, in his decision affirming the YER
dict of the jury in the court below, says:
1T is assigned as error that counsel for
plaintiff, in his closing argument, shed
tears, and unduiy excited the sympat hies
OF the jury in favor or the plaintiff, and
greatly prejudiced them against defendant.

mate arguments before jury, and while

Mr.. William Osborn, of Westchester, y. Y,

After the fox, or he. aaiSe seed bag, pelted

Osborn estate got SO interested and excited
that he went away with the hunt and did

doubtless thought he was again with the
show. He was not hurt, being allowed to
run until he was tired, when he stopped to
rest in a farmyard, and the farmer eventu-
ally brought him home. The hunting party
showed no concern about the pony or about
Mr. OSborn's property, and Mr.. Osborn
states emphaticaily that If there had been
a gentleman in that crowd. or lady, that
gentleman or that lady would have seen
that the involuntarily borrowed pony was
returned with suitable apology. This is

men and ladies, except when they want to
be particularly distinguished, andthen they
call themselves men and women. None of
them, however, have taken the slightest in
terest in Mr.. 0sborn's property or his opin-

Mr. Osborn says that he considers that
these people have no more right on his
place than tramps, and that they shall not
behave in this way again 1t is not yet
revealed just how he will prevent them,
but bis determined attitude indicates that
he will do it. And it does seem rather odd
that if people wish to hunt and have the
money to go TO England to hunt, they
should not go TO England, or to the great

Osborn is fortunate enough to have some
money and influence, even though he is not

consequence is that each OF these gay little

of changing secretaries of legations from

to return to Turkey.
He has not yet been notified when he is
to leave, but is prepared to start at any
moment II
Mr Norighian seemed highly indignant
over the report of his resigna ton. 1T is
hardly likely he said, that man who

A PENITENT DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. Liunberger Voted for Mckinley
and Now He Is Sorry.

st. Louis, April 5.-Former Assistant
Attorney General Lionbefger, % the Interior
Department, created sensa ton Monday
night at the Ma ational Democratic banquet at
the Southern Hotel. The occasion was o
celebration of Jeffer son S birthday, and Mr..
Lionberger, who had been Is stanch sup
porter of the Indianapolis platform in the
recent campaign, but who voted for McKin-
ley and Hobart, declared that he would
never again vote for a Republican for
Federal office Here are a few extracts
from his speech on the toast, "The In
dianapoliis Platform"
I'm the recent campaign the National
Democrats stood between the devil and the
deep sea. On one side ragged the fantastic
Populist, the turbulent labor union, the
cheap-money, higil-price crank. The dema-
gogue, the enti-Cleveland, anti-suprerne
Court, anti-East and North, anti-creditor,
and anti-law and order agitation. and the
remnant of regularity. On the other,
dressed In the robes OF sa netity, stood the
arch-hypocrite. who preached TO the EN-
pioyer that protection is necessary because
wages are high, and to the laboTer that
protection is necessary because wages are
low; who promise to help the consumer by
making commodities cheap, and the manu-
facturer by making them dear; who adj
mitted that free silver is dangerous ma
tionally, but insinua ted that it is all right
internationally; who persstently, all the
time from the beginning, had but one aim
and but one means-by tomfooiery to get
rich at somebody else 'sexpense. Wehadto
choose between being robbed byea fanatic
Populist or a hypccrticai Republican; by
the partial Reputation OF debts or the exae-
ton OF exorbtant prices.
"Many, aye, "a vast majority OF national
Democrats chose what they supposed was
the lesser evil OF the two, and voted for Nc
Kinley They now regret it. High, ex-
tFayagant protection, given by an unjust
law as a reward for contributions to
party campaign fund, is not only an indus
trial curse. but q political crime OF the
gravest character. The party which viii
propose sueh a measure after such cam
paign cannot betrustei. 1t has disregarded
it's ex xpressed ASSURANCES /, for one, will
never again support Republican for Fed
eral office.
I'm the meal ntinie, a grave difficulty con-
fronts us Alliance with either OF the par
ties upon the present platforms is out of the
question We are today less Republican
than Democratic. Wescornhypocrisy more
than error It is more dangerous. Bryan
is as honest and more able than Mckinley.
Free coinage would not work greater harm
than the DiDgley bill. As between these
two evils I should not hesitate w hich to
choose "
