in the daily press now that tho keen edge
of novelty has been blunted by world 8
appreciation. Two fields Of exploration
made possible by tho tluorescenco Of
vacuum tubes, and recently entered, are
of noteworthy promise One Is the ex-
animation of lung tissue in the case Of con-
sumption. The healthy lung gives COM
paratlvely little shadow in the sciagraph,
while the diseased tissue has much dark
er appearance in the picture. 1t Is thus
possible to ascertain exactly the part affect.
ed and to attempt palliative or remedial
treatment accordingly
The other recent use of the Roentgen
ray of especial value Is In observing the
movements of tho stomach and Its contents
in the preliminary digestive process. BY
mixing subnitrate of bsmuth, which Is
said to be harmless powder, with the food,
the movements Of the stomach may be
seen by means Of the Horoscope under
suitable conditions. The knowledge thus
gained is OF great Importance to the physi~
ologist and tho physician, as many facts
hitherto unknown are revealed.
