Argument Involving an Interpretation

Washington, April 6.-Argumcnt was
heard. today. in the case of Thomas

volving an Interpretation Of the extra
dtion treaty with Great Britain.
LynChchIIm is in Irishman and while
he WIS residing on AChill island in 1894,
made a m'IrdcrouS assault on his land
lady. Mrs. Agnes Mcdowell. and was
sentenced to imprisonment for life. IIs
Gaping in 1903, he came to the United
States ana WAS arrested in Indianapo-
liz. The United States commissioner
refused the mans cXtraditiOn on the
ground that the crime was political and
therefore cxtraditable under the treaty.
The case was argued for Yynchehaun
by Ferdinand Winter and for the Brit
ieh government by Charles Fox. Mr..
Fox contcnded that the crime was in
the nature of an ordinary assault with
intent to kill. while Mr.. Winter argued
it was the result OF resentment against
landlords in general ard therefore po-

FOR BRAIN TROUBLE.
Use to Which the x-rays MAY Be
Put,

Paris, April 6.-Since NJ. RIondayot,s
discovery of N-rays the scientific pa
pers OF England and France have
termed with discussion. 1t has been as
serted as result of repeated and care
1ul experiments that the rays do not
exist, but NJ. Blondelot and Carpenter
have meanwhile been steadily accumu-
Eating facts which have placed beyond
question the fact that the discovery is
valuable contribution to science.
The rays are now proved to be moth
ing more nor less than part of the in
visible spectrum of sunlight, little
more ultra than ultra violet rays. They
are somewhere between heat and cleo
trio rays. slower than rays of radiant
heat and faster than HertZian waves.
They can pass through aluminium as
sunlight through a glass and can be
focused by an aluminium lens. These
rays traverse lead. tinfoil. platinum and
copper without difficulty end do not re-
quire complicated apparatus as the
Rocngten rays.
They stream from an ordinary mean
descent gas lamp. More remarkable
still, they can be spontaneously pro-
duccd from number of substances
such as wood or glass when twisted or
subjected to pressure. Untempered steel
does not produce the rays, but tempered
steel continually emits them. Time
hos no effect, knives tempered over 1000
years emitting as freely as steel tenn
pered yesterday. When thrown directly
and solely upon the eye they enable it
to see i'm Il darkened room objects which
had previously been invisible.
Prof. Carpenter discovered that the
human body emits the rays in quanti-
ties proportiOnate to the activity of
that part of the body whence they
come. He has also proved that they are
emitted from the speech-center of the
brain whenever a persons speaks. When
the speaker cmits rays they vary ac-
cording to the pitch of the note.
DR.. Bruce of Edinburg. has taken up
the subject. He expects tina when it is
known exactly what rays come from
various parts of the brain in normal
condition it will be possible to use vari-
ations of quantity and quality as Il
means of detecting he injury or disease
of different parts of the brain. The
RocnGten rays are not used so much
for brain troubles because they do not
cast apprcciable shadows except of the
bones.
NJ. Blondelot has more recently dis
covered more rays. not unlike the n
which increased the power of vision,
smelling ana hearing. The new rays
diminish the activity of the senses.
