The Lesson of History.

New York World. AS to whether
the woman or the man is more extrav-
agant, read history.
Nearly all the worlds great money
spenders have been men. Very few
women figure on the list.
1t was so in ancient times-in Rome
in Greece, in Nine,eh and in Babylon.
1t is so i'm all countries today. The
spendthrift b~ankrupts, the s~catterers
Of great fortunes, are always the
heirs-never the heiresses.
Go over the record of the past thirty
years in New York. That tells the
story. 1t is the same in London or in
Paris or in any other large city.

THE n RAYS.
Prof. ROentEen Makes Public Further
Discoveries I'm Regard to Them.

Prof. ROentEen Makes Public FurtheF
discoveries I'm Regard to Them.
From the London Lancet.
Prof. Roentgen has again made a COM
munication to the Royal Academy OF
Sciences on his great discovery. He states
that while the Y rays are passing through
the air they traverse IT I'm every direction.
When plate impervious to the rays Is
placed between a fiuorescent screen and
a source of the rays, so that the screen
is overshadowed by the plate, the platino-
cyanide of barium nevertheless becomes
luminous, and this luminosity is visible
even when the screen lies directly upon
the plate, so that one might imagine that
some rays had traversed the plate; but IL
the screen placed on the plate is covered
by thick piece OF glass the fiuorescence
becomes weaker and disappears completely
when the glass is replaced by cylinder
OF lead OIL centimeter equals LIS of an
inch) in thickness surrounding the fiuores-
cent screen. Prof. Roentgen's explanation
of this phenomenon is that Y rays eman-
ate from the irradiated air. He considers
that IL our eyes were as sensible to the X
rays as TO ordinary light the appearance
would be as if a candle were burning in a
room filled with tobacco smoke. Prof.
Roentgen has, moreover invented a new
apparatus for measuring the intensity of
the rays. He has succeeded in ascer-
tanning by means of this apparatus that
the intensity of the rays is influenced:
I'D by the course of the primary current;
C2) by the interposition of a Tesla trans
former; CD by the rarefaction of the air
in the tube. and 90 by some other agen-
cies not yet known. He concludes: ID
That the rays issuing from a discharging
apparatus consist of a mixture of RAYS of
different absorbability and intensity; CD
that the combination principally depends
on the course of the discharging current:
CD that the absorption of the rays varies
according to the absorbing medium, and
"a that the X rays are produced by the
cathode rays, and have similar huorescent,
Photographic, electrical qualities, it is very
probable that they are both phenomena Of
the same nature.
