STATUS OF CUBAN ARMED FORCE.

been considered to be that Of the United States,

that from even the little that is known
Oh the new rays an important factor has
been found which may indicate the ap-
proach of disease or the DEVELOPMENT OF
dlHerent disease germs in the body.
The experiments have shown that the
rays are not light, though they have a
similar operation on a Photographic plate.
The human rays with some unknown
subtle force behind them have the prop
erty of passing without change or inter
terence through materials which are
ron-conductOrs of electricity, such as
glass and rubber, and producing the
same effect as If there had not been any
foreign substance between the body and
Photographic plate, while If the sub
stance is used as a conductor Of cleo
tr1c1ty such as silver or lead the raw
does not pass through 1t, but the same
result is attained as If 1t did, apparently
by the communication Of the vibration
OF the ray to the sensitive film.
During the tests made by Mr.. Hoffman,
several hundred persons were given p
chance to emit the human raw. Some
persons gave a faint demonstration on
the him, others very strong one. and
lew gave no result, and yet after the
lapse of few hours the results were
reversed, showing the difference of the
chemical energy In the same BODY on
different days. The temperature and
moisture in the air apparently had NO
effect in the production of the rays.

SILENT TRAVELLERS.
A Rural Passenger Strikes a Still
Crowd In n ParIOr Car.

A Rural Passenger Strikes a Still
Crowd In u ParIOr Car.
New York Sun.
In parlor car that pulled out of Bal
timore a few days ago were six travelling
men, headed for New York. The conven-
tionalities to acquaintanceship In society
are not observed by travelling men, but in
this case it happened that the six prefer
red their newspapers to stories, etc, and
each retired with himself, showing that
he wanted to be let alone.
AT the first stop an old man boarded
the train, and he, too, had a chair in the
parlor car, for the first time in his life,
as he told the conductor. He got lone
some and started in to get acquainted.
He picked out the biggest man, an anna
BILE, om-Reed-Iooking traveller from Min
neapolis
''Wher's the depot for Boston," was the
first query of the old man.
The big man was not quite prepared
to break the rule of the silence establish
ed by his cOnfreres, and made no reply
The old man waited about as long as an
impatient old man can be expected to
wait, and made another attack.
I'm gOin' to Boston when get to New
York and 1 want to know if We know
wher' the Boston depot is
The big man looked at the inquirer, but
said nothing, Once more the old man re-
turned, on higher key:
81 say I'm goin' to Boston-do we know
wher' the depot is-the depot for Boston
in New York;"
The big traveller grunted, shook his head
and closed his eyes. The old man turned
to the second traveller, looked him over
and yelled:
I'm goin' to Boston. Do you know
wher's the depot for Boston, in New
YOrk?'
The second man had taken his cue from
the Minneapolis man and made no re-
ply.
The old man passed to the third travel
er and shook his arm to make sure he
was alive.
I'm goin' to Boston,
But the third man turned his face and
closed his eyes.
Say, I'm goin' was as far as he got
with the fourth man; he had no better
luck with the others.
Just then the conductor, who had seen
and heard the act, passed through. The
old man stopped him and asked him what
was the matter with all the passengers
in that car. The conductor was a fat
man himself and out for fun. He said:
There's going to be a convention Of
the deaf and dumb in New York, and all
these men are delegates"
The old man looked them over again
hastily and exclaimed:
Faith, and they're a lot of dom foine
Iookin' fellers, but dom poor company"
When the train reached the shed at
Jersey City the six travellers lined up and
said all together in comic opera style:
"Ha, ha, ha! Wher's the depot for
Boston?"
The old man dropped his grip, and the
conductor says the hair on his head stood
up 80 instantly that it knocked off his
hat"

Strong Enough for Photography Is
the Latest Remarkable Discovery.
New York Journal
Ottokar Holman, of Argentine, Kan,
who is we'll known in the West as q civil
and mining engineer, has made the re-
markable discovery that the human body
possesses a hitherto unknown power
which operates the same as light Ill pho
Biography.
Pictures have been taken by this hui
man light, or body halo, by Mr.. Hofmann
which are distinct, and the limit of the
accuracy and fneness of the reproduc-
lions varies, depending, so the expert
ments he has conducted Indicate entirely
upon the state OF the body.
Mr.. Holman has not given name to
the newly discovered force, but sirnplv
confines himself, in discussing the many
interesting experiments which he has re-
Gently made, to the statement that a
human body emits rays of some sort
which act upon a Photographic sensitive
plate In a way which is both Interesting
and puzzling.
This discovery opens up an entirely
new field for experiment and inves1iga-
ton by Psychologists, and it is believed
