NEW X RAY SHOWS
HAND BEH|NG DOOR
Danger Of Burning Eliminated
by New Invention.

New York.-After fifteen years of ex-
perimentation marked by many re-
verses and disappOintments, Charles
II. Stanley, an electrical engineer, an
nounced that he had perfected an x
ray device which will mark as great an
advance in the science of surgery and
therapeutics as the original X ray Of
Roentgen.
A demonstration of the machine in
Stanley's laboratory made it appear
that the forecast by Guglielmo Mar
conf that one would some time be able
to look from one room into another
through the dividing walls is about to
be realized.
Through an ordinary door an inch and
an eighth thick and twelve feet from
the ray generated by the electrical ma
chine a reporter was able to distinguish
clearly the bones Of the hand of STAN
ley moving on the other side. as well,
as to see the outlines of his hand.
This test was made simply to illustrate
the immensely greater power of the
new machine over the old X ray de-
vices. 1t is only one Of the improve
ments claimed by Stanley.
The principal value Of the discovery
lies in the fact that the rays may be
applied to patients for extended peri
ods of time without the slightest dan
ger Of burns resulting. The danger of
burns, often incurable, has been one
of the most serious drawbacks to the
use Of the old X ray and often has Off
set the advantages accruing.
The Roentgen rays are ordinarily ap-
piled only long enough to obtain pic
ture of the wound. fractured bone, dis
location or diseased portion of the
body on which it is proposed to op-
crate. With the new rays photo
graph is not necessary, as the rays
may be continued an indefinite length
Of time on the patient, and the sur
geon may work directly in the ray.

so convincing that the club voted to
