Or. LIlIIenteId Discovers Principle
That Puts Roentgenology
on New Plane.
EXPERTS PLEASED WITH IT
Scientists Who Have Experimental
With New Tube Believe With Doc
tor lilien'eld That II Makes

New Y0rk.-By the invention OF an
A'ray tube based on a comparatively
simple principle, roentgerOl0gy prom
ises, for the first time since Roentgen
discovered the mysterious rays that
Dear his name, quarter OF a century
ago, to be an exact science. The In
ventor Is DR.. Julius Lillienfeld, pro-
lessor of physics at the University OF
Leipzig. He is also inventor Of the
6-ray tube that has been in general
use In Europe for the last decade, and
which from now on will be superseded
by his more recent discovery. Ex-
perts who have experimental with 1t
believe as he does.
Doctor Llllienfeld is In New York,
having arrived from Europe few
weeks ago. He has already given
public demonstration of his new tube
In the presence of Prof. George Pc
gram and Professor Davis at the de-
partment of physics of Columbia uni
versity and before the New York
Roentgen society.
Doctor Llllienfeld explained the
principles of his invention to Times
| reporter. He said his discovery was
not only of interest to the medical pro-
fession and physicists, but to makers
Of wireless and all audion apparatus
and simplifying devices.
I'm order to explain the principle of
this new tube said Doctor Lillienfeld,
ut will be necessary to recapitulate
the history of X-ray tubes and to tell
the manner 10 which Xrays are gener-
ated.
Whist Elections Are.
LET us begin with the electron: 1t
Is the smallest known component Of
matter and Is always associated with
an unvarylng unit charge of negative
electricity. The atom Of hydrogen Is
the smallest atom known. Yet an
electron is but 10000 part of the n.y.
drogen atom. These electrons are al
ways In motion. 1t Is supposed b6
some that chemical atoms consist of
collections of electrons having orbital
motions in a sphere of positive cleo
IRRIGATION. Others ascrlbe them Ia
disturbance Of the ether.
"An electron striking any matter
target or surface produces X-rays
The electrons must have speed, and
indeed, they move with incredible ra'
pldity. They are negatively charged
particles of electricity. There are
three factors, therefore, connected
with the production of X-rays. They
are electron, motion and the target
Doctor Lillienfeld pointed to knife
blade.
1.-THE electrons associated with that
piece of metal" he continued, "are be
meath its surface and are retained
there by some superficial force. TC
produce X-rays we must get the cleo
irons out of the metal through the co
operation of some additional force
Roentgen used gas molecules, which
were imprisoned in his glass tube il

out of the metal, which, In this case

In actual practice anl tue tfsif"ns
were readily pullea out, | tight add
that In this method the electrodes

closely together.
THE application OF the principle IS
not limited to the production OF n
rays. II can be applied to all ampii-
flying and audion devices and for gen.
Grating electromagnetic waves for
wireless. The tube is less expensive
than the heated ones because II con-
tains no hot filaments and. therefore.
no transformer is needed to supply

Slim Hervey's intention to waft TINS
precious pair to some bosky retreat,
cover them with leaves, and hold them
for ransom, but such was not the case.
He desired nothing from these two
potentates among race OF iucre
giants beyond what might come to MIN
through his eyer-open speaking SLOT
This Is all he heard:
"Lewisfader Is getting kind OF
fresh"
"That's what I been thinkin'."

"What about Friday, when the Bun

''Good idea! Friday II Is"
Not another word. but, as 1t hap
pened, 1t was enough to start Mr.. Ran
dolph honking uptown the moment he
had dropped his laconic fares at their
next board meeting. No one had to
tell him who Lewisfader was; he bad
been to college with that financiers
son, and if there was one thing above
all others that said offspring was good
at, it was blowing his fathers horn.
Lewisfader was this and Lewisfader
was that, but principally and especial
ly he was the central rock In the money
maelstrom known to the stock market
as-"Amal. !. S. & c." which had only
lately dared to swell its portentous
belly in the company of the most de-
vcloped and vicious saurlans of the
financial world.
All the way uptown, Mr.. Randolph's
face was concentrated In the nearest
approach to a frown of which 1t was
capable He was not, however, weigh
ing the substance of what he had heard
this way and that, for the simple rea-
son that the moment the one word,
''Lewisfader," had reached his ears, he
had seen the great light and grasped
his bunch beyond any thought Of look
ing back. That part of 1t was settled;
what worried him now was the amount
of ways and means in his pocket. BY
thinking very hard, he added up his
capital without bringing 1t forth to the
light of day. The exact sum was six
ty-eight dollars and fifty cents.
No sooner had he passed the test III
mental arithmetic than he drew up a
little beyond the front door of the Rock
ct club. He started to leave his cab,
paused, considered and then deliber-
ately lowered the flag. AS he entered
the lobby Of the club, four scandalized
fronts leaped to bar his way. They
asked him a variety of biting ques-
tons: Did he think 1t was night
lunchwagon? Which chambermaid
was he calling on? Was he looking for
Mills hotel?
HERBERT! roared Mr.. Randolph.
The functlonary named, head door
man for the Rocket club since first 1t
started on its appropriately meteoric
career, leaped from his dignlfied seat
on the somnolent side lines and stared
wide eyed at the servile apparition
that had dared shout the open sesame

away.
