The Y Ray i'm Court.

The Y ray has at last received legal
recognition. A case has been brought
into court in which the defendants
counsel objected 10 the admission in
evidence of photographs produced by
the Y ray process. on the ground that,
being photographs of an object unseen
b Y the human eye. there was no evil
dence that the pictures accurately and
correctly portrayed and represented
the objects photographed. This rule
of law, which has been well settled by
a long line of authorities. was not dis
scented from by the defendants coun-
sci so far as it applied TO photographs
of external things or objects which
may be seen by the human eye: the
contention was simply that there was
NJ reliance to be placed on a picture Of
an object, which, according to any on
ditions yet known to legal experience.
is invisible. The photographs were
offered in evidence to show the present
condition of the head and neck of the
femur bone, which is entirely hidden
from the eye of the surgeon in the It's
sues by which nature has surrounded
il for protection. l. rendering its YER
diet the court promised: During the
last decade, at least. no science has
made such mighty strides forward as
surgury. 1t is eminently a scientific
profession, alike interesting to the
learned and unlearned. 1t makes use
of all science and learning. Ii has
been of inestimable service to man
Kind. It must not be said of the law
that it Is so welded to precedent that
1t will not lend Il helping band Rath-
Ell let the courts throw open the door
to all well considered scientific discoy-
cries. Modern science has made it pos
siole TO look beneath the tissues Of the
human body, and has aided surgery In
telling of the hidden mysteries. We
believe it To- be eur duty in this case
to be the first, if YOU please to so con
slider it, in admitting in evidence n
process known and acknowledged rs Il
determinate science. 1t may solve n
present condition.

A HIGR TENSION SHOCK.
Experience OF N Man Who ReceiNed
$500 volts of electricity.

Exnerience of N Man VINO RecefNta
$500 volts OF electricity.
Many men have described from actual
experience the sensations of drowning,
but few have come into the circuit OF
800 volts of electric current and lived
to tell how it felt. An electrical en-
cineer who was standing on a chair in
readiness to move a reversing switch
ON n lighting series. placed II mana on
the metal cover of an mmeter lWhlch
was in series with another siXty-lamp
circuit. and turning to the LETT n
leaning back to make an Observation
lstill standing on the chair he placed
his left hand on an iron pillar. 1t hap
pened that the ammeter case was accl-
dentally in metallic contact with the
light leads. and as the return Wire was
''earthed." the man received the whole
Of the $500 volts of current. The hrst
thing he realized was that he was
standing on the floor, but he had no
idea whether he jumped off the chair
or was knocked off. The forearm was
drawn close to the chest and h hands
were clenched. From a little above the
elbow downwards he had Il feeling OF
pulsation and a sense Of violent beat
ing. Below the elbow all power OF
movement was gone but the arm at
the shoulder could be moved from the
side. Gradually the pulsations soon be-
came less violent, though preserving a
rhythmetic character, and the motor
power of the elbow. wrist and fingers
returned. IN three minutes he felt
meme the worse" At the time of the
shock there was no sensation or burn
ing, but ten minutes afterward the
hands became painful, ard eNamina-
ton showed n burn on the tip OF h
middle ana ring fingers, and on the
back of the little and ring fingers, with
a scared line across the lower portion
of the palm. There has beer no other
effect excepting that he expresses him
self as feeling decidedly better in gen
eral health" This Improvement in
health is quite in line with the expert
ence OF many men who have either ac-
cidentally or Intentionally taken high
tension currents of less amperage or
weight than that referred 10. Mr..
Tesla has long been accustomed to
place himself every now and again
within the circuit Of the high tension
voltages with which he rs made such
remarkable demonstrations. He says
it refreshes him more than any other
restorative; as a tonic il is unequaled.
and leaves Il sense Of rest behind il.
