This process more nearly resembles the one now
in use than does the Y ray system Moreover 1t
provides for a sharper definition Of the letters
and pictures than photography, which would
probably leave only shadowy edge to every
thing. Mr.. Greene. too, prints one sheet at
time, instead Of a lot at once. What the Eng
lishman aims at principally is 10 dispense with
printers ink, which is both costly and trouble
some. He believes that the chemical treatment
OF his paper would add very little to its cost.
Whether he could adapt his invention TO the
modern fast press or not does not yet clearly
appear.

The notion Of improving on il is doubtless an ex-
collcnt one. but II remains TO be seen how far Il
viii be successful. Certain recent efforts Of the
authorities Of a similar kind have not been par
tcularly happy. The new coins, for instance,
that have just been put in circulation far
more generally criticised than approved. How
ever this is. of course no reason why the new
stamps should also be n comparative failure. In
any case, no pains are TO be spared to obtain "A

TWO attempts o. protil. substitutes FOR tho
present method Of printing books and n"NSpa-
pcrs have h,'u reported aithin year. The
nrst one. which has boon Described In thos" col
umus utilz.e The y rays and photography Tho

cutcd with a corrosive ink upon a paper coated
with substance practically mpcryious 10 the
R0ntgou rays. large number 81 sheets Of
Photographic paper arc then placed under the
stencil. and suitable apparatus for generating
the radiance Just mentioned is brought into
play The rays pass through the vulnerable
parts 81 the stencil and affect hundreds OF the
sensitive sheets ut one time These must then
be "dcyclopcd" aud fixed" like photographs.
The latest proposition resembles this one in
some respects ". Fr.,sc Greene. an English
man. is tho author of it. His plan is to intro
ducc certain chemicals into the paper that is
To be used; and these substances. which are in
visible al first. discoor the paper wherever cleo
trcity has chance to affect them. one OF the
best known recording tocgraphs resorts 10 this
cxpcdicut. stylus is attached to the rccciv-
ing apparatus, and a current passes through It
to a metallic complement underneath. The sty-
lus rises and falls like the soundcr Of the Morse
system and when it presses against the moving
strip OF paper the chemicals therein are acted
upon and yield distinct mark.
Mr.. Greene varies this programme by making
the electricity pass through the type or sterco-
type first, then through the paper. and thence
to a zinc plate on the cylinder OF the press. The
impressions which he pretends to have obtained
