This school had realized his worth Although
1t had refused him the lowest position on its
staff it now placed him in its foremost rank.
incidentally, the university acted just in time to
reap considerable glory for itself For it was
there that the discovery of the X-rays was
made.

tury. Physicists in all parts of the world were
interested in the newly discovered cathode rays.
These are the rays obtained when an electric
charge is passed through tube from which
nearly all the air has been removed. Modern
physicists will explain that cathode rays are
streams of electrons.
Various physicists, Crookes, Hertz and Lem
ard had developed different types of these
vacuum or near-vacuum tubes. Roentgen also
was curious about these cathode rays and
toward the end of october in 1895 he began
intensive work upon them
In his usual painstaking way he proceeded
to repeat the steps other physicists had taken
in order to see for himself how these rays
acted One Friday evening, November 8. he
was working along these lines all alone in his
laboratory. 1t was late and not even servant
or cleaner was around.
THE room in which he worked was COM
pletely darkened. He had even covered with
black cardboard the tube with which he was
working
With no light coming from anywhere with
everything quite dark. he passed an electric
charge through the tube. At that moment his
eyes happened to fall on screen lying on
table at some distance from the tube. To his
great aStoniShment the screen was brightly
luminous.
The screen made of paper, covered with
barium platino-cyanide. 1t was by mere chance
that it lay on the table that Friday evening
and that its bright luminosity caught his eye
AS a matter of fact, other physicists probably
had the same phenomenon, but it took
RoentgenS type of mind to realize the possible
meaning of the strange sight that greeted his
eyes the memorable Friday evening. He

strange. new, inexplicable with marvellous pos

self exclusively to the investigation of this new,
strange force he had discovered
He could not rest until he had found solu-
tion to the riddle.
In the first place he was surprised to find
that the effect of the electricity in the covered
tube had been able to pass through the air Tor
a considerable distance, for that was something
which electricity itself could not do. So his
first step to whether this new strange
force could pass through anything other than
air.

greatest of experimental physicists.
After he had taken his degree of doctor of
philosophy, his former teacher, the great Kundt,
asked him to become his assistant. Two years
later he wanted to follow Kundt to WurZburg

there But the course of his career still
rough and the WurZburg University, because
of its conservatism, refused to welcome him at
this time.
The bad luck did not last long, however.

 Then the Tod baker said. "Well, I guess have finished, but I'll try the knife and see if it is sharp. Some papers all I need"
 Wee Scouty handed him piece. The knife sliced through a little crease. 'Ha, ha," exclaimed the baker, 'I sure sharpened it with speed.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-Little
frankie Antonio, whose mother
was put to death in the electric
chair at Sing Sing last week for
plotting the murder of his father,
was to go to his new home today
following his kidnapping" by his

The little boy has been kept by

Antonio. Yesterday the court
ruled that he should be placed
in the care of Mrs. Mary De

When Capello received this or

kidnapping warrant was sought
for him. Later, however, his at
torney agreed that the child
would be returned today.

"The architect is an idealist

E. J. Russell, of st. Louis, presi-

mother reports that she was much
tempted to give her son a bit Of adj
ditional money for car tokens and
school lunches when he had spent
his allowance. But she decided to
let matters take their own course
for a short while and see what
happened. For a whole week, the
boy walked the long distance back
and forth to school and went with
out milk with his lunch. That was
a year ago, and he has never since
spent money ahead" on his al
lowane.
OF course we must be sure that
the allowance includes enough
money for legitimate recreation.
When a child habitually spends his
money for weekly movie and goes
without hot milk at noon, the al
lowance probably needs adjusting
and the child's sense of values, too.
When there is something we know
the child will want to save for,
such as a circus coming to town, a
play, a holiday, he'll be grateful to
us for dropping a hint that it is

Young FinancierS

"How soon should begin giving
Burton an allowance? asked the
mother of a responsible six-year-
old. HE asks us for pennies to
spend occasionally and to put into
the school bank, but of course he's
too young to know the value Of
money or to need regular sum for
spending"
But Burton isn't too young. AS
soon as he wants money for ice
cream cones or the Sunday school
collection or the school bank, he is
old enough to learn what it means
to plan for spending, giving and
saving.
Whether Burton will have valu-
able experience in budgeting by be-
ing given an allowance will depend
on how mother and father go about
it. If they decide that Burton
needs five pennies a week for
spending money; that he shall put
two of these in this bank, give two
to Sunday school and spend one as
he likes, Burton has nothing to say
about the matter and will not learn
much except to do as he is told.
But if Burton is allowed to decide
for himself how be will divide the
five pennies, then the plan is really
his and has much educational value
for him. Better yet, let Burton talk
over with his parents what he
needs money for, and how much it
is fair for him to have. The al
lowance he receives is then partly
