EDISON’S X-RAY EXPERIMENTS PER-
MIT HIM TO DO THIS.
Prof. Roentgen Believes Diseases Will
Eventually Be Diagnosed by Means o:
the X Ray, and that It Will Destroy All
Bacilli.
After weeks of patient work Edmon
has succeeded in his endeavor to see
the bones in the body of a. living per-
son by means of the fluoroscope. Here-
tofore it has only been possible for
scientists to use the X rays in photo-
graphing the bones. Mr. Edison's dis-
covery makes it possible to avoid the
long delay necessary to secure photo-
graphic plates and enables the soientist
or surgeon to view the bones of a per-
son standing before him fully clothed.
One of his assistants in the labora-
tory was the subject. The fluoroscope
was placed at his back and moved to all
parts of the body. The shoulder blade,
collar bone and bones of the arm were
visible. The ribs showed clearly at the
sides, but grew indistinct and merged
into a black mass in the centre. The
fluoroscope was placed near the middle
of the body showed the backbone. The
rays penetrated the flesh, but did not
cause it to fall away, as upon the hands
and arms. After experimenting with
the ray for twelve minutes the lamp
became red-hot and was rendered use
less.
A correspondent of the New York
Journal recently interviewed Professor
' Roentgen in Germany. The Professor
is quoted as saying:
“Its immediate benefitto surgery was
obvious enough, but I thought it prom-
ised far more. I had sanguine hopes
that the bacilli of diphtheria and chol~

era and other dargerous growths ol
the animal body would eventually and
indirectly be destroyed by the influence
of the X rays.”
That Professor Roentgen cares more
for the direct benefits of the perfected
X rays to science and humanity than
for his own aggrandizement and fame
is evident from the following remarks:
“The thought that others might an-
ticipate these things during my vacation
was not at-all disagreeable. While in
Italy I was pleasantly surprised by a
report of an attempt. in the line Profes-
sor Pratt seems to have perfected, but
as I desired to brush away all study
from my mind during my pleasure trip,
I determined not to give the matter
much thought then. I have not the ar:
ticlo at hand and cannot now recali
whether the trial was made in Paris or
Vienna.” _
“I shall rejoice when it will be in the
power of every competent physicran. to
kill these bacilli. When once havulg
located them, the modus of annihilation
will be a mere technicality.

WHAT AVALANCHES CAN no.
Thrilling Story of Baldheaded Mountain.
by Ananins.
“I see they have had a terrible ava-
lanche in Switzerland.” said the man
with the yaller whiskers ,, “and that re-
minds me of an adventure my brother
had in Wyoming a. few years ago.
Were any of you gentlemen ever on
Baldheaded Mountain out there?” runs
a story in the Detroit Free Press.
None of the group had ever had that
honor, and when informed of this the
man continued:
“My brother was prospecting and
hunting, and had a rude cabin on the .
side of the mountain. A truthful man
was my brother' I’ve known’ himr to
stick to the truth when he could make
3500 by lying. Iwouldn’t do that, of
course, but I want you to understand
the sort of a. man my brother was. I
used to talk to him by the hour, but he
would unflinchingly insist upon telling
the truth.”
“Pity that more of the family didn’t
stick to that policy,” sneered the man
with the blossom on his nose.
“Yes, perhaps; but then all of us do
what we think is for the best. My bro-
ther had occupied the cabin for about a
month, when it came on to rain and
rained for ten days and nights. Had he
been posted on avalanches he would
have been on the lookout; but, as he
wasn’t, he smoked his pipe and waited
for the weather to clear up. One night
he was aroused by a. trembling and
quivering of the earth, and just as he
rolled out of his blankets his cabin be-
gan to move down hill, carried along
on the breast of the avalanche. It was
three miles down the valley, and ten
miles across the valley to Grizzly Moun-
tain.” . ‘
“Ten and three are thirteen miles,”
said the hardware drummer, as he sharp-
ened his knife.
“Exactly!” replied the man with the
yaller whiskers. “As my brother found
the cabin going and realized what was
taking place, he out with his watch
and caught the time. I claim that he
is the only man in the world that ever
timed an avalanche. In exactly four
minutes to a second he was across the
valley, and in exactly 28 seconds more
he was a. mile up Grizzly Mountain.
Then the avalanche spent its force and
the cabin rested; his report on its speed
has been accepted by the ,Royal Geo-
graphical Society of England and by all
other societies.”
“And he wasn’t hurt?” demanded the
man who could raise his scalp by work-
ing his ears.
A few trifling scratches, sir; but he
was greatly inconvenienced. At the old
location he had a spring Close at hand;
at the new be had to walk half a mile
for food and water. He was also at a
higher altitude and had more trouble to
breathe.”
“But he hung on, didn’t he?” asked
the hardware drummer. '
“He hung on and waited for another
avalanche to carry him back to the old
loCat-ion‘?”
“Exactly, sir. Yes, air. At the end
of two weeks there was an avalanche
that carried him back to Baldheaded
Mountain. It also gives me pleasure to
inform you that this second avalanche
made the trip in five seconds less than
the first. On this occasion my brother
did not get out of bed at all, and met
with no accident except getting some
dirt in his eye.” ‘
“It is an awful pity that your bro-
ther is dead I” said the man with a
blossom.
“Yes, it was a great loss to the coun-
try at large.”
“Because he would have made such a
champion liar in a few years.”
“What!" exclaimed the man with the
yaller whiskers, as he rose up. “Do
you think my brother prevaricated
I about the matter?”
“Worse than that. I think he lied
like a trooper."
“Gentlemen. I trust you will excuse
my emotion—I know you will. None
of you may know what it is to hear a
dead brother villified. I promised him
on his dying bed that I would never
strike a man in anger. and I am there-
Ifore helpless in this case,
. retire.
f evening, gentlemen—good evening I” '

THE SIXTH SENSE.
some NEW IDEAS CONCERNING THE
SCIENCE OF HYPNOTISM.
Santanelli Advances New [Theories and
Seems Able to Control the Pulse and
Heart Beat, a Font Deemed Impossible
by Physicians.
Santanelli, the hypnotist, whose per-
formances in the West gave him the ti.
tle of a Svengali in real it'e, gave a pri-
vate exhibition of his powers in New
York recently. The hypnotist exploded
a great many theories which have never
been associated'with the “mystic art,”
and incidentally threw more light upon
the subject. -
It is not the eflect of a strong mind
controlling a weaker one, he explained,
but the country in the case.
Santanelli had for a subject James
Mahoney, a young man whom he kept
In a hypnotic sleep for five days, and
was arrested therefore by the authori»
ties of Fort Wayne. Ind, on the charge
of assault. ‘
At the seance, Mahoney was made to
lo extraordinary things, the most won-
derful of which was a triple action of
the pulse. A physician held one wrist,
sreporter another and a third placed
his ;ear over the subject’s heart. At
command of San tanelli, the pulse in the
left wrist heat so quickly that it was al-
I‘ROF. SAN TANELLI.
most impossible to count it. The right
pulse fell a trifle below the normal, or
about '70 to the minute, while‘the heart
action remained the same as ever. That
feat has always been held to be impossi-
ble by prominent physicians.
The usual feats of hypnotism were
performed, such as passing a. needle
through Mahoney’s lips and muscles of
the neck, burning his wrist with a light-
ed cigarette and making him imagine
himself a juggler.
One of the spectators was told to
place his fingers on Mahoney’s pulse in
the throat, and will that the sub-
ject move eyes, mouth and limbs. It
was nece=<ary, explained the hypnotist,
that the medium concentrate his mind
upon the wish and think of nothing
else. The experiment was a complete
success, Mahoney lifted his arms and
feet, opened his eyes and mouth in re-
sponse to the mental wish of the man
who touched his pulse.
After a few more experiments, Santa-
nelli explained about his wonderful
power. Hypnotism, he said, is a simu-
lation of sleep with all the physiologi-
cal conditions of slumber, but different
mental attributes. It is the cup in
which the physician administers medi-
cine. Only by oral suggestion can the
subject he made to perform any feats.
save the moving of organs and limbs by
mental will, communicated by contact.
Ideas and their associations are the pro
dominant influences. A subject could
not ‘be made to imitate a juggler or
prize fighter if he had never seen
either.
The Filled Cheese Swindle.
Cheese made from skim milk to which
lard "oil or cottonseed oil has been added
has so disgusted consumers that con-
sumption has fallen off both at home
and abroad. Meanwhile our long. head-
ed Canadian friends have made every
effort to produce strictly honest Cheese
of prime quality. Result: While United
States exports have declined one-half,
Canada's exports have increased 400 per
cent! Certainly it is full time that Con-
gress decree that this product must be
made and sold for what it is. Several
bills to this end are now before the
House at Washington, and it behooves
every farmer to instantly write his
Representative and Senator at Wash-
ington to enact this measure without
delay. Each State should have similar
laws. Let us start right with the new
season, and make a long pull ~and a
sin-ong pull and a pull all together to
to establish the cheese industry upon
an honest and profitable basis. This
will likewise benefit every farmer who
produces milk for market or for butter,
and will be a blessing to all consumers
of American dairy produce—Farm and
Home.

Marvelous Results. 4
‘From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun-
derman of Dimondale, Mich. , we are
permitted to make this extract. “I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s
New Discovery as the results were almost
marvelous in the case of my wife. While
I was pastor of the Baptist Church at
Rives Junction she was brought down
With. pheumonia, succeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could notsurvive them.
Afriend recommended Dr. King’s New
Discovery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in its results.”
