ing barriers on the Yuba, American and
Bear rivers. At the beginning of Pres
ident Cleveland's first term he was or
dered to Washington and placed in
charge of public buildings and grounds,
and served in that capacity until Sep
TENDER, 1889, when he was appointed
superintendent of the military acad-
envy. He remained there for four years,
at the close of which time he was again
summoned to Washington by President
Cleveland and restored to his former
station.
While on duty in Washington he has
had charge of large number of public
works in that vicinity outside of his
routine duties, including the improve
ment of the grave of Thomas Jefferson
at Monticello, the erection of a monu-
ment to mark the birthplace of Wash
ington, the erection of the statue to
President Garfield, the building of the
Army Medical museum, the erection of
a monument at Washington's head
quarters, Newburg, placing memorial
tablets at the battlefield of Gettysburg,
the completion of the Washington mon
ument, the improvement of the Wash
ington aqueduct, the repair of the Ford
theater building, the erection of a mon
ument to Gen. Hancock, the repair and
enlargement of the government print
ing Office, the erection of pedestal for
the statue of DR.. Gross, the erection of
bronze tablet at Gettysburg park,
commemorating the address of Presi-
dent Lincoln; the repair and improve
ment of the house on Tenth street
where Abraham Lincoln died, etc.
Gen. Wilson received the degree of
Ill. D. from Columbian university in
1890. He is a member of the American
Society of Civil Engineers and the past
president of the Society of Civil Engi-
neers of Cleveland; o. He reached the
grade of colonel of engineers March,
1895, and in the ordinary course of
events will be retired in 1901. He was

Ine INFERIOR OF inc human DouY as 10
render It's most delicate tissues WIS.,
ible-in other words, to make 1t trans
parent-Mr. Edison set about 10 find a
crystal that would possess the requisite
quality.
He has discovered one. Its name he
will not yet reveal, saying that he Is
still experimenting with it, and desires
to exhaust its possibilities before an
nouncing it to the world. By means
of the newly-discovered crystals Mr..
Edison can now disclose to the eye of
the surgeon organs and tissues that
have hitherto been seen only in the
dissecting room and on the operating
table. 1t is probable that when he per-
fects his new discovery the slightest de-
rangement of the system will be re-
vealed to the doctors sight. .
In speaking of his work Mr.. Edison
said: For the last six months / have
been experimenting for the production
of chemical crystals which should have
the peculiar property of giving out light
when subjected to the action of the
mysterious force called Professionally
the X rays of Roentgen."

more sensitive to the X-ray than any
heretofore known, but 1 shall keep on

CHIEF OF ENGINEERS.
Col John M. Wilson Promoted to
the Important Position.
His Long and Honorable Army Rec
Ord-Breyetted Six Times for Gall
liant Services During the War
His Duties Since.

Col. John NJ. Wilson, corps of engi-
neers, has been nominated by the presi-
dent chief of engineers of the army,
with the rank of brigadier general, vsse
Gen. W. P. Craighill, retired.
The new chief of engineers, although
born in the District of Columbia, was
appointed to the military academy
from Washington territory. He was
graduated July /, 1860, and his first
service was in the artillery and ordnance
departments. He served as assistant
ordnance officer at the Fort Monroe
arsenal, and at the Washington arsenal,
1S6O-61. He was actively engaged
throughout the entire war of the re-
beliion, and made most creditable
record. He was in the battle of Bull
Run, assisted in the defenses of Wash
ington and was in the Virginia PENN
sular campaign at Yorktown, Williams
burg, Slatersville, Gaines Mill, Mechan-
icsville, Malvern Hill and other engage
ments. He afterwards took part in the
Maryland campaign with the Army of
the Potomac, and was engaged at South
Mountain, Antietam, Charlestown and
Harper's Ferry. During this service,
in July, 1862, he was transferred to the
engineer department, and has remained
there ever since. After a short service
at the military academy in 1868 he was
assigned to duty in connection with the
defense of Baltimore, Memphis, Vicks-
burg and Natchez, and in May, 1864, was
assistant inspector general of the mill
tary division of the west Mississippi.
In the following year he took an active
part in the operations resulting in the
capture of Spanish Fort, Mobile Harbor,
and was present at the surrender of Gen.
TGylor's rebel army at Citronella, Ala,
in May, 1865. Subsequently he was in
charge of the construction of the fort
at Ship Island, Miss, and also took part
in the preparation of the defenses of
New Orleans. r
For his services during the war he
was breveted six times; as captain for

HAS ANOTHER DISCOVERY.
Edison Soon to Give the World q
Wonderful Instrument.

Thomas A. Edison is about to give to
the world another discovery as Won
derful in its way as the microscope,
by means of which he put the X rays
to practical use in revealing the bony
structure of the body.
1T was" said he, the action of the
x ray on crystals of Platinocyanide of
barium which caused Roentgen to make
the original discovery. Immediately
afterwards I discovered that the ing
state of calcium was more powerful,
and I constructed a practical instru-
ment for utilizing the crystals in con-
nection with the X rays"
The ungstate of calcium not being
sufficiently sensitive to transform the
strange light discovered by Roentgen
into a Light that would so illuminate

THE c. E. CONVENTION.
No Change in Plans to Have 1t Held
in San Francisco.

in San Francisco.
J. S. Webster, of San Francisco, who
is vice president of the committee in
that city having in charge the details
of international Christian Endeavor
convention to be held there in July, is at
present in New York city.
1--WE came near having the convention
two years ago." he said, "but could not
then make satisfactory railroad rates.
Nowwe have fixed around-tripra that
is the lowest that has ever been given.
The convention of 1897 goes to San
Francisco at the invitation of the state
union of California.
"In San Francisco, as in other cities,
many leading citizens were unac-
quainted with the .endeavor movement,
but when it was explained to them they
came forward with a ready response to
raise $4,000 to care properly for the
convention.
I'm the east, I find among business
men a growing interest in the oppor-
tunity to visit the Pacific coast at a
cost so nominal as $51, Chicago and
San Francisco and back over any route,
and one fare for the round trip to Chi
cago. This rate will not be for enr
deavorers alone, but open to every
body"
Mr.. Webster also said the endeavorers
should take warm clothing, as in July
the mean temperature in San Francisco
is 60 degrees, and there is not little
fog. An hours ride, however, takes
visitors into a warmer climate.

CITY OF SAN ANTONIO,

At a meeting of the City Council

ordinance was passed under suspen-
sion of the rules:
The Portland daily press., 1897-03-12

There is apparently some misapprehen-
sion prevailing in the community in re-
gard to the offer Of the Portland Railroad
Company Of $40. COO toward the construc-
ton Of Tukey's Bridge which was laid
on the table at ths last meeting of the
city council. The impression Las got
abroad that condition attached to it
was that they should have exclusive priv
ilege on that bridge. That is Not the
fact however. ALI they asked was thai
they should have the exclusive use OF
their own track, that is that no other
read should have the right to run It's cars
over their track. There will te plenty of
room on the bridge for the track CT the
Yarmouth road and tie Portland Com
rany. have no wish or intention to shut
that road out. The Portland company
wants the exclusive use # its own track
and wants the Yarmouth road to have
the exclusive use Of its own track The
principal reason for this ia that the rum
ming of cars from two power houses over
the same track ia attended with serious
complications and is lab to burn out
valuable machinery. The granting of
the exclusive use of its own tracks to the
Portland road has no tendency to shut
out tie Yarmouth road; and was not
aske for any such purpose or with any
such thought.
