was burned Wednesday night just be-
fore midnight. 1t was especially UNI
fortunate as this is the second time in

the family have met with the loss Of
their buildings. This time the barn
only was destroyed. but with it were
eight cows. three horses, and auto.
mobile. farming tools and a part of
this years crop of hay. Mr.. Thibo-
deau owns another barn in which he
also stored part Of his hay.
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
Mr.. Thibodeau was alone In the
house and did not discover the fire in
time to extinguish the blaze or save
the contents of the building. Mrs.
Thibodeau had left home during the
day to visit friends for a short time.
The Thibodeaus are industrious, pro-
gressive farmers and all extend SYM
pathy to them in the loss of so much
property.

simply to see what would happen
next. After he had determined its
essential characteristics there
would be time for experiments with
a definite goal in view.
On November 8, 1895, when work

self; but this latter was completely
blocked off, as far as ordinary
light rays were concerned This
strange radiance was evidently
able to pass right through heavy
black cardboard as easily as ordi-
nary light could pass through a
piece Of white tissue paper. Would
it not also pass through other sub
stances hitherto regarded a.
Opaque?
Professor Roentgen placed his
hand in front OF the greenish
glow. and the flesh seemed to van
ish-only the bones stood out in
clear relief.
He had done what man had never
done before-l1e had seen part of
his own living skeleton, ana watch
ed It move.
with commendable caution,
Roentgen did not Immediately an
nounce his discovery. He care
fully tested the experiment from
every angle. to make sure that
there had been no mistake.
Then, In January, 1895, ne quiet
" announced to the world that he
had discovered a way to see
through the human body and ex:
anime living bones almost as close
ly as in an anatomical specimen.
AMAZING DISCOVERY.

mention that he had been talking
to Mars, or had established tele-
phonic communication with st.

prove 1.-THE would hardly be greeted
with such stunned amazement as
was Roentgen at that time. It
sounded like some medieval sor-
