The layman will very properly ask.
How can these high frequency cur
rents be used when ordinarily q far
lower order would do harm IL of the
same voltage? This Is explained on
the basis that a bullet of low velocity
will cause a graver wound under some
conditions than one speeding through
the body at a much faster rate.
The first combats the resistance Of a
bigger area, which has had time to
muster Its forces Of opposition, and
therefore tears or hurts a larger sec
ton, while the speedier bullet attacks
so rapidly that only a very small area
has a chance to interpose and he
penetration or perforation is like the
lightning movement OF a fine and very

X-ray, however, this f1nenes ana
sharpness are increased beyond the
descriptive power Of words.

working that a hard" tube can be
made TO project soft rays Of the
greatest penetrative capacity. These
soft rays apparently are able to deal
effectively with diseased tissues with

by giving verbatim Mr.. SANKEY'S ex-

Nerves are the natural conductors
for the electric currents in the body.
When nerve tissue hardens the normal
control Of associate muscles is i'm
paired and bodily processes are dis
turbed more or less seriously. In
other words, natures conductor at
the point of hardening has had its
resistance increased and the current
through the nerve ilament Is re-
duced or stopped, as the case may
be. BY means OF the beams projected
from my high frequency X-ray tube
the gamma rays are made to attack
the troubled nerve and to produce
neat at the affected point. In this
way the resistance due to a patho-
logical condition IL broker down. and
the flament is restored to its rightful
state as an electrical conductor. The

for the care OF The horse while he
lived or for disposition Of him after
he died. There was division in his
family over the will he left. and after
Hambletonian died he was buried and
left to forgetfulness. In 1889 the Ma
tional Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders took up the matter of erect
ing a memorial TO the horse to which
the race OF trotters In this country
owed It's origin. The result was that
a fund of upward OF $4,000 was sub
scribed and paid in for the purpose,
and a monument was decided upon.
Among the subscribers was ex-
Senator Leland Stanford, who gave
$500: the National Association of Trot-
ting Horse Breeders gave $3.50, and
John II. Wallace 500. william Rookie
Teller contributed $50, as did Edwin
Thorne, the New Jersey Association OF
Trotting Horse Breeders, Charles Back
man, founder OF the Stony Ford stock
farm, and A. j. Alexander. The bal

New York city, Kentucky and Orange

Indeed tese alterations are of such
amazing rapidity that the needle of
the meter is apparently at a stand

impulses in the circuit follow one an

rent is nearly a direct one. How is
this accomplished?
lnasmuch as Mr.. Stanley has not
yet obtained his patents he is natu-
rally indisposed TO go into details, but
he asserts that the results are in
disputable. He says he can produce
an electric pressure Of quite a million
volts, and by %ecour to a series of
Transformers he takes the current
delivered from the street mains and,
step by step, jumps it up TO this Limit.
