and ultraviolet light. supplementing his re-
marks by stereopticon views. Dr. Harvey
reduced the technlcalities of the subjects
mentioned to plain and simple terms He
gave brief sketch OF the history. develop
ment and present status of the X-ray say
ing that the important scientific discovery
resulting In what is now known of this
light was made by accident about ten years

Prof. Roentgen of Germany was at work
In his laboratory ne noticed that a box
OF Photographic plates in a drawer had be-
come light struck while he was ex-
pertmenting with an Illuminated glass tube
attached to an electric battery. This OBJ
servation led Roentgen to conduct a series
OF experiments by means of which he was
able to learn and describe many facts about
the wonderful new light.
The discovery. DR.. Harvey remarked, had
lection of the Horoscope by Mr. Edison,
the American inventor of electrical appli-
ances, who made 1t possible for photo
graphs to be taken Of the objects revealed
by the X-rays.

X-rays to the cure of disease referring to
the beneficial effects of their use In GER
tain forms of cancer and in several skin

ignorance or carelessness. He uttered a
warning against the danger of long con-
tifued exposure to the light Burns from
the rays. he said, were very slow in heal
Ing and very difficult TO treat.
Dr. Harvey said that ultraviolet rays
were of restricted therapeutic use, being
confined principally to the treatment OF
tuberculosis of the skin.

possesses thoughts that Will not reflect cred
itably on them This is easily noticeable in
individuals who show you their jewel.bedecked
hands. Some will show them with fingers out
stretched, while others will have their hands
closed. The mind feels the necessity for hiding
its operations and unconsciously the fingers, obey
ing the suggestion of the subjective mind, will
close over the palm.
The individual who has nothing TO conceal
from you opens his hand freely to inspection.
Then we have had the individual who will
relgiously conceal his hands from sight, as shown
in Fig 1. Thus the information comes to one
that the subject is possessed of ideas which he
has no desire to have aired. You may be
sure that there is dark side to his makeup,
very likely deceitful, hypocritical or given to
falsifying matters.
In telling your subject these things he viii very
likely refute them, do not be disappointed
when he tells you that you are entirely mistaken
