This Process Causes Their Emission, as
Does Muscular Activity.
That the processes of digestion, as
well as mental and muscular activity,
seem to cause the omission Of N-rays,
Is the conclusion reached by NJ. Lam
bert in France, after a series Of inter
csting experiments. He believes that
these curious rays are produced by
ferments, especially by those con-
cerned In the digestion of albumlnoid
matter. In his experiments on diges-
tion, says II writer in Harper's Week
ly, NJ. Lambert placed a small quantity
of fibrln in tubes containing in one
case actlvated paucreatic juice, and
in another artificial gastric juice made
by mixing five per cent solution OF
pepsin with Il four per cent. solution
of hydrochloric acid. From these
tubes the N-rays were emitted, and
were detected not only by producing
increased luminescence of phos-
phorescent screen, but also photo
graphically, thus removing the sub
jective element from the experiment.
As Il result of these experiments, NJ.
Lambert believes that in the course
of digestion the tibrin undergoes
strains which act to produce N-rays.
