LOOKING THROUGH 4 MAN.
Wizard Edison'S Latest Aid TO Sur
gicaI Science.

From the Philadelphia Record.
New York, Feb. Thomas A. Edison
Is soon TO startle the world with another
wonderful discovery. He now proposes to
make the human body transparent. In a
word we shall one of these DAYS literally
''see through a man"
If Edison's expectations are realized this
result can be reached by an ante-mortem
diagnosis. and the secret of the human
prison mouse" disclosed before breath
leaves the body.
The Wizard has discovered a new chem
lcal combination in his laboratory N
Llewellyn Park that promises To revo-
iuuonlze surgery, and even the broader
domain of science. He has succeeded IN

the hope that physicians may sooner or
later see the exact position and condition
of the internal organs OF their patients
Less than year ago it was thought a
remarkable thing to see the bones Of the
hand. To-day Mr.. Edisons experiments
have been so successful that he can dis
count the revelations of the best X raw

that in cases OF blindness, where the Wis

there Is chance for the sightless to see
dimly under certain circumstances
Mr.. Edison wrote out the following
statement OF what he had accomplished:

and the discovery of the undeVoured feast
proved the visitors sanitary objections
TO strong spices.
On the Poccoa river in Northern Geor-
gia, old farmers still recollect the circle
hunts organized for the special benefit of
an old wolf that had visited every sheep
ranch of five or six different counties and
caused no end of midnight alarms, but al
ways eluded pursuit by making straight
for the water. Again and again the dogs
had been close at his heels, but his trail
was invariably lost on the river bank and
could not be rediscovered by hours of
tracking up and down the opposite bank.
In daytime the old marauder never left
his hiding place, which remained a mys-
terry. until a trout fisher one afternoon
padded his canoe TO the foot of an over
hanging cliff and discovered the entrance
of cave, exposed by an unusual drought,
and leading first upward and then hori-
zontally into the Subterranean crevices of
the hill. A pair of greenish-yellow eyes
glared at him as he peeped into the recess
of the cavern, which proved the long
sought den of the river WOLF IS the
hunters called him.
The circumstances that running water
will oblterate a trail would not avail the

Williamsport. Pa.-Patrick l.. Fennell,
an engineer who left here recently to take
charge of tho engine of saw mill in the
forests of Susquehanna county, had a
most startling experience "A few days ago.
After thoroughly overhauling the boiler
and machinery he started a fire, and was
then called away. Upon his return he
found that the steam had generated with
wonderful rapidity, and the QuiVering
gague registered 10 pounds pressure
while the boiler was tested 70 100 pounds
only. In his excitement he slammed the
door of the boiler house, the jar dropping
a hook on the outside, which fastened the
door and made him a prisoner. with the
prospect OF the boiler exploding at any
minute
glance showed him that the safety
valve was fastened down with rust. ana
he was about to grasp the supply pipe 10
hoist himself up 10 reach the valve, when
he saw cooled about the pipe a large rat
something soft and found two more rat
Tiers. The heat Of the boilers had drawn
them out of the walls OF the old mill. and
they were as active aud vicious as on an
August day.
Before he could step back one Of the
snakes dartcd az him, but the fangs caught
in the heaVy rubber boots which he wore.
with an iron bar he then killed the snakes.
one of which had coiled itself about his
boot. As soon as the last was killed Fem

With one blow of the iron bar he Knocked
