New Map City
Recently COMPLETED

A new map of the city of Waterville,
the first that has been made for 10
years. has been completed by Eugene
Crawford, the city engineer. The only
previous map. drawn up in 1915, was
the result Of the surveys eof a number
of engineers and in a number of ways
it was not accurate. The new map,
made entirely by Mr.. Crawford, took
two years to complete and is in every
way accurate.
AS 1t now is the map Is 116 inches
long and Sc inches, and because of its
large size only few Of them will be
made to be hung in the offices of the
city officials where they are most
needed. 1t is probable that a large
number of small maps will be made
for general distribution.
The diagram of the city shows its
area to be 1925 square miles and a
large growth can be noted by COM
parison of the new map with the old.
Fifty new streets have been laid out
during the last decade but a number
of these have not as yet been accepted
by the city. The growth is due to the
development of a number of districts
which are the Gilman estate on Sum-
mer street, the Oakland road section,
Cool Street Heights. Sidney Terrace,
College Avenue Heights. Pillsbury
Plat. Boutelle Heights. Nelson Heights
and the Nearer Heights.
From one drawing of the map Mr..
Crawford Is working out complete
diagram of the sewer system which
will be a great help in the future. In
the near future 1t is hoped to start
work on an assessors map. a thing
that has been needed by the city for a
long number of years.

history OF X-RAY
subject SUNDAY
HEALTH ADDRESS

DR.. John Goodrich of this city was
the speaker at the second of series
of health talks which are being given
this winter at the Sisters Hospital
Yesterday afternoon. DR.. Goodrich
gave a very interesting talk on the
history of the X-ray and the work
1t is doing In medical and surgical
fields.
In speaking of it's history he said:
Rather than take up your tim with
technical details, l will speak briefly
of the life of Wilhelm Conrad Roent-
gen and his discovery of the X-ray.
"Roentgen, the only child of Ger
man father and a Dutch mother. was
born in Germany in the year 1S45. AS
a boy he showed no extraordinary
ability. was not very studious, but was
deeply interested in nature. In the
fifth year. of school he was expelled
because he refused to reveal the
names of his companions in mischief
after he had admitted his part in some
harmless schoolboy prank. He at
tempted to pass examinations which
would permit him to enter German
university but failed. Later he entered
the Polytechnical Institute at Zurich
because there he had to pass no ma
circulation examinations. Here he was
neither hustler nor boolworm, but
dreamer who hated routine and forsoolI
it for the mountains in whose shadow
the school stood.
after some time Roentgen became
interested in experimental physics and
manifested an extraordinary ability for
work requiring exactness and detail.
From this time he progressed steadi-
ly. overcoming almost insurmountable
obstacles which resulted from his in
complete primary education. and in
1888 he accepted call to the Univer-
sity of Wurtzburg, where seven years
later he discovered the X-ray.
Late in the spring of 1895 Roent-
gen was experimenting with a So
called Crookes tube, a little glass
vacuum budb energized by the current
of an induction coil. AS he studied
the little tube he remembered the work
of Plucker, Gassiot. Geissler, Hittorf,
Crookes, Lenard and before them all,
Faraday. Geissler had passed the in
duced current through tube OF low
vacuum and produced the exquisite
color effects. >Hittorf had discovered
the Cathode ray. Crookes noted the
change of phenomena as the vacuum

On Friday, Jan. Is

With but four days before the
opening of the annual Waterville
Winter Carnival. plans for the affair

eral committee has received word
from Bowdoin and Bates colleges
that they are to enter teams in the

tween Colby college and the st
Jeans. For an outside attraction the

ceiver and trustee of the fox COM
pany, while counsel for the trustees

Snow PlOw Does
Excellent Work
In Saturday Storm

Real winter came to Waterviile Sat
urday. The snow fell hard and the
wind blowed gustily for eight hours.
leaving the city covered with a blan-
ket Of light, sparkling snow foot in
depth. But the storm was not of such
severity that any discomfort was
caused and there was very little
trouble caused business and transpor-
tation.
The snow commenced to come from
the skies at 10 o'clock in the morning
and by 6 in the evening it stopped.
Early in the afternoon a small snow
plow was attached to the front of the
sprinkler truck and with this Ga miles
Of the city streets were covered, MAX
ing II possible for automobiles to keep
travelling. The storm was not consid-
cred sufficient to make necessary the
use of the large Lombard tractor pillow.
The work of blowing out the sidewalks
was also started before the snow was
of any great depth.
Trains and street cars were for the
most part up to schedule. The $50
o'clock train west Saturday afternoon
was about Is minutes late and the 1920
west was 40 minutes behind schedule.
The Observation-Disclosures street cars
lost but a little of their running time
and yesterday both trains and street
cars were running as though there had
been no storm.
BY winter sports fans of the city
the storm was most welcome. For one
thing it made prospects for the winter
carnival which is to be held later in
the week all the brighter. and again it
put the toboggan slide and the ski
jump at Community Park in the best
of shane
