DO THE N.RAYs ExlsT7
Their Being Called Into Question by
Noted scientists.

Noted scientists.
At 4 recent meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement OF
Science q discussion Of the so-cal!ed
N-rays took place which was remark
able in that their existence was rrac-
tically denied by the German and
British physicists present. The N
rays, il will be remembered, are n
form Of radiation first noticed and de-
scribed by BloEdlot in 1907, and pro-
duced in many and curious ways, such
as by the nerves Of the human body,
by plants, by incandescent burners,
and are detected by an increase in the
luminosity of q 1uorescent screen on
which they fall. The experiments of
Blondlot were repeated ana extended
by n number Of French scientists, and
have been officially noticed 10y the
French Academy. On the either hand,
remarks HaIper's Weekly, British and
German Investigators have uniformly
failed in their attempts to detect the
new radiation, a-~> believe that the
phenomena ere for the greater part
subjective, ard depend entirely on the
observer. This brings ABOUT most
curious state of affairs, as we find the
scientists of one nation defending a
certain group of Investigations, which
are disputed by those of other nations.
Nevertheless, the French physicists
are persisting in their work, and with
further experiments they may be able
10 convince even the foreign doubt

transmitted for s. r. Heimer. The
communication dealt with the pro-

much interest and adds that the ex-
perience OF Mr.. Helmer is enlighten-
Ing as showing the possibilities OF
lands In this vicinity when furnished
with an ample supply OF water and in
tensively cultivated. Mr.. Davis also
commends the interest Judge Long is
taking In the reservoir matter.
It Is gratifying. also. to note the In.
