ABOUT DISCOVERY OF X-RAYS
Accident Revealed Modern Marvel 10
German Scientist.

A sheet of paper, coated with GER
tain chemical and lying by chance on
a laboratory table, disclosed to Ger
man physicist the marvels of the
X-ray.
In 1895 Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen.
a professor of physics OF the Univer-
sity of Wurzburg, was experimenting
with glass globe, from which most
of the air had been pumped. The
professor was repeating and enlarging
on the experiment of Sir William
Crookes by passing an electrical
spark thru metal rods imbedded in
the globe. While engaged in this. to
him an interesting pursuit. sheet OF
paper coated with barium- -platinocya-
niae happened to be lying on the table
nearby. The professor noticed that
when he passed the electric current
thru his apparatus, the coated sheet of
paper emitted n peculiar phosphores-
cent glow, very much like the light of
a FREELY. Further experimenting
showed that when a metal coin was
placed between the glass globe and
the coated paper screen, the coin cast
a shadow on the screen. But when a
piece of hard rubber. leather or wood
was interposed in place of the coin,
only a very light shadow, or no shadow
at all, could be seen.
Professor Roentgen was surprised.
Wood, rubber and leather are ordi-
narily quite opaque. and allow no light
rays TO go thru them. The rays ema-
mating from the glass globe must be
quite different then from other light
rays, explains st. Nicholas magazine.
The professor took his apparatus into
n darkened room and found that altho
the rays given out by his glass tube
were quite invisible to the eye, they
were able to affect Photographic
plate as readily as light rays. Further
more, he discovered that even tho the
Photographic plate was fully protected
from light by wrapping IL in a wooden
box. the invisible rays from the glass
globe were able to penetrate the COW
ering over the plate and affect the
plate in the same manner az light
rays.
Roentgen, not having heard or read
about rays of this description before,
did not know what to call them since
in algebra X denotes an unknown
quantity. The temporary name stuck,
and today we still defer to Roentgens
discovery Of the X-ray.

Stacker in business and to get down
20 Stanley Clague, l think S.anley's S
motto Is, Sit tight, but don't be
tight.
Now. gentlemen, we have had a
great many Inquiries during the last
few weeks from business firms in the
United States as to how we came thru,
particularly from publishers. and per-
haps you will permit me to trespass
on your time sufficiently to indicate
our individual experiences just at tho
opening Of the war. The schedules
were coming out in August, 1914. and
good many of them didn't come.
and Of those that did come n great
many were called back. We were a
flat-rate newspaper. II ever had
any misgtvings on the flat-rate / had
II at that time. 1t was serious
strain. because we found ourselves
without single space contract in the
office. We saw at once the futilitv
OF attempting to right the situation by
individual effort.
Stabilizing Confidence.
I'VE saw that IL was a matter OF ma
ton wide sentiment and that some
thing must he done to improve the
business sentiment OF the country
before we individually could make
any progress along the line which we
desired We took the matter up with
the Canadian Press association, quite
a powerful body, and suggested that
they should personally investisate cen
ditions among manufacturers, the feel
ing and sentiment among the business
men. and that they should prepare
impartial and accurate statements and
send them to the newspaper publish
ers. and that the newspaper publish
ers in turn should distribute them
thru the medium of their columns.
That was done, gentlemen. and n rep
resentative of the Canadian Press as
sociation travelled from city to city
and from town to town from the De-
troit river to the city OF Quebec. a
distance OF about seven hundred
miles. thru the busiest and most popu-
lous Industrial center of Canada, and
the result of his work had a great
deal to do with stabilizing public con-
fidence at that time.

SPIRIT OF AMERICA IN MUSIC
National Songs Have Place of Honor
in Musical Offerings.

The celebration of the GLORIOUS
Fourth" is always the occasion for an
Outburst of patriotic music, but this
year our spirit OF patriotism has al
ready been stirred and II finds ex-
preston in numerous songs which
help to inspire renewed devotion to
! our country. The July Offering of
musical numbers includes not only
some of our national songs that are
dear to every American heart, but
new popular songs of America In
epired by our entrance into the world

Whitehill is truly q song of liberty
Tho splendid old Battle Hymn of the
Republic" is presented by Reinald
Werrenrath in his rich and virile

NAVIGATING SHARKS BUSY
Why and Wherefore OF Their Attacks
Is Up to the Scientists.

The eating shark mystery
detpens with the announcement that
one OF these wolves OF the sea made
an attack upon man who was swim
ming In Catalogue creek. about forty
miles from Savannah. This instance
was plainly not mere case of
scare" The shark seized the SWIM
mer and carried him under water.
But Tor the fact that he had hold of
rope which his wife Immediately
hauled In, he would probably have
lost his life. As IL was. his arm was
SO badly mangled that by the time
he was brought back to Savannah he
was almost unconscious from loss of
blood
When number OF bathers were at
tackled by sharks on several different
occasions at several different points
on the Jersey and Long Island coasts
last summer the general opinion was
that this was an Isolated phenomenon
due to some special and extraordinary
condition not likely to persist or TO
recur. The prompt recommencement
OF the attacks so early this summer
and this time en- the south Atlantic
, coast, knocks this theory into
cooked hat or course there is possi-
bility that the attacks OF last summer
on the south Atlantic coast and that
OF last Sunday In Catalogue creek,
may all have been the work OF one
shark. which, as the result of some
unusual combination OF circum-
stances. had developed man eating
habits. II seems Just as probable,
however. that the waters along the
Atlantic coast have become the habi-
tat OF considerable number of
sharks dangerous to human beings.
The why and wherefore may be left
TO the scientists. Sharks are abun-
dant every summer along the Caro-
lima coast and. while they have
hitherto been regarded us harmless,
IL is evident that we cannot count on
theii pacific intentions any longer.
Whether II Is just one individual
shark that Is running amuck, or
whether some dangerous tropical spe-
cies has extended its range north
ward. or whether the gruesome
theory be correct that the strewing
Of the Atlantic with human bodies
has taught several ordinarily harmless
species OF sharks to feed on human
flesh. II is evident that those who
venture into the water along these
coasts must now take precautions
which were never judged necessary

Canadian Editor Explains Op-

them here. perhaps they have been
more acute with us. We have had our
paper troubles and our increased
news costs and all that, and these
have been met. Mr.. Chairman by re-
adjustments Of advertising rates in
part. They have been very general
and they have also been made in
some limited number of instances by
putting n little more burden upon the
subscriber. not so great Il burden per-
haps as you would think 1t should
have been. but In the eastern part of
Canada year ago we had only eight
2-cent daily papers. must explain
that In the west the price OF papers is
8 cents, but in the east the price was
uniformly ! cent. with very few ex-
ceptions. Today there are 10 daily
papers In eastern Canada that have
gone on the 2-cent basis.
I'VE In Ottawa had hod our MORNING
papers on the 2-ccnt basis prior to
this, and on the 5th of February we
put our evening papers on tho same
basis. You can buy morning or an
evening paper, 1t doesn't matter
which, at the same price, and under
every condition that applies to both
papers. These increases ana II is
significant have all been among the
middle class and the smaller daily
papers. The newspapers of Ottawa
are the largest, the most important
papers In Canada, which have gone
on the 2-cent basis IN the last year.

United States s427, 100000: in 1915
1892 600 600. That is exclusive of
coined bullion, and simply indicates
that while we have sent four hundr d
thousand men on military duty, some

doing more trading. more buying and
more selling with you than we have

missioners had notice OF this six weeks ago.
The statement of the building inspector
that he will close the building II certain
unfair and uncalled for. The inspector has
no right to close my building. He displays
his ignorance by so stating.
might say In closing that there are many
buildings In Tulsa, completed since the
Palace addition was completed, where there
are no fire escapes at all, and people are
4 sleeping In tIm nightly.
There Is not a building in town equipped
with this style Of fire escapes excepting
the Calais building and that was finished
long before the ordinance went into effect.
In the building inspector would pay more
attention to fire traps that are being built
In Tulsa instead of harassing the owners OF
modern, fireproof structures who ure willing
and anxious to comply with all regulations,
; he would come nearer fulfilling his oath Of
office and the duties that are imposed on
him
! To shown that there is something more
behind this than the mere enforcing Of tho
ordinance. tho building inspector went TO the
Texas Company, without my knowledge or
any authority, and told 1t that unless the
