The Book Agent’s Eamenr.
The agent for a handsomely illus-
tratd book, to be sold on long time
credit—a feast to the intellect and an
adornment to any library, leaned
against the side of the house, caught
his breath. clenched his fist, and
looked skyward.
“What’s the matter?” asked the po-
liceman. ,
“I’ve met the meanest man,” he an-
swered. “I’ve heard of him, and I’ve
read about him in papers, but I never
expected to meet him face to face.”
“Where is he?”
“Up in that building.”
“How do you know he’s the mean-
est man?”
“By the way he acted. I showed
him this work of art, lectured on it
for half an hour. showed the engrav-
ings, and when I hinted that it would
be a good thing to order, what, do you
think he said ‘2” '
"I don’t know.” '
"He said he never bought books.
He didn’t have to. He just waited
for some fool agent to come along and
tell him all that was in em, and turn
. over the leaves while he looked at the
pictures.” ,

THE ROENTGEN RAY.
lTHE GREATEST OF _ALL MODERN
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES.
A Full Exposition or the Wonderful Light
That Renders all Material Things Vis-
ible to the Camera. Photographing
Through Wood.
Unprecedented is the history of an-
cient or modern science is the swiftness
with which the discovery of William
Konrad Roentgen, a comparatively ob-
scure German professor of physics, has
spread to the four corners of the earth.
Unprecedented, also, is the unanimity
with which it has been taken up
throughout the civilized world and the
extraordinary interest it has awakened.
It is now a‘ little more than three
months since Roentgen announced and
demonstrated that he had found a new
and wonderful prpperty in certain rays
of light, andin that time experiments
have been inaugurated by hundreds of
scientific bodies and by thousands of in-
dividuals. ' g '
“The lay as well as theTscientific' press
has teamed with voluminous descrip-
tion. and a popular interest has been
created that has never been hitherto ob-
served in the announcement of any im-
portant step forward in the realm of
scientific search and endeavor. . '
And this is in the very infancy of th
discovery; in its germ condition; at a
point where the human mind is just be
ginning tograsp the multiplicity of its
great possibilities. No such specula-
tion as to future‘accomplishme'nt attend-
vapor from boiling water; nor the birth .
of modern photography, fathered by
Daguerre; nor the invention of the mag-
cording of the human voice on the phon-
ographic cylinder by Edison. All these

were of slow propagation.
What they might eventually become
,was conservatively discussed and res.
soned out as they progressed and im-
proved, but Roentgen has in a short
time flashed 3. ~ new ray of light around
the earth, and has lighted up a pathway
so far ahead that its termination cannot
be conceived by the present generation.
Nevertheless, the speculation as to pos
sibilities even at this early day is start-
ling.
What Prof. Roentgen has found to
'be possible—to begin at the beginning
——is the “photography of the invisible,"
audit isn’t so much how he does it or
how he tells others to do it as it is what
may be accomplished in the future from
this discovery.
The operation itself is not at all com-
plicated. The principal is the employ-
ment of a current of electricity dis
charged through a highly rarefied at
mosphere, so highly rarefied indeed that
it is the nearest approach that can be
made to a perfect vacuum.
This is secured in what are known as
Crookes tubes—glass bulbs in which
the atmospheric air has been exhausted,
and containing the positive and nega-
tive poles of a battery. The current is
obtained from a large induction coil.
The discharge creates certain rays of
light in the tube, one of which is called
the cathode or X rays—the algebraic
appellation of an unknown quantity,
PHOTOGRAPHING THE HAND.
and used for convenience sake. It has
a singularly penetrative power and is
invisible in the daylight. In a darken-
ed room it can be seen to shine through
a book of a thousand pages, to light up
two packs of cards held together and to
penetrate an inch of solid wood. All
these substances lose their opacity un
der the X rays. , .
When _a. picture is to be taken of in-_
visible objects, say the bone of a hand,
{Crookes tube is suspended about six
:nches over the hand. - Beneath the
tube is a lead diagram with a hole in it,
through which the rays shoot. Under
the diaphragm the hand of the subject
s placed on a sensitive photographic
plate, the plate being first wrapped in
.ieavy paper to keep out the ordinary
:ight. Both it and the hand are then
:overed with a. black cloth. The current
5 turned on and kept on from 35 min-
ites to an hour and a half. The long-
:r the exposure toe better the result will
co.
After it is believed that sufficient ex-
posure has been made the plate is taken
to the dark room and developed in the
regular way. The print is then made,
and if everything has been properly
done it wibbe found that the image of
the hand, in slightly dim shadow, has
beenprOjected on the plate, through the
cloth. the paper, and the black card-
board plate cover, which may be used
if desired. , The hand is outlined in
xhndow. but the bones within it are

a
é made more clearly visible than the
flesh. . ' -
If an envelope containing several flat
substances like a key, ring or coin, be
placed over a sensitive plate and expos-
ed to the X rays for twenty minutes, the
image of the invisible articles will be
very distinct. Key and coin will be
sharply outlined. Paper appears to of-
fer the least resistance to the rays.
As soon as Roentgen’s communication
to the Wurzburg Society was given to
the world. experimenting began every-
where. The new radient energy became
the subject of discussion among the an-
atomists and surgeons all over the
wofld.- It was contended that if the X
rays could picture the bones in part of
the human organism, they could dis-
close a malformation or lesion of'those
bones.
If the rays could penetrate the flesh
of the hand, they mi ht penetrate the
flesh-of the chest an discover the ex-
act location and extent of diseased lung
cells; they might find a. tumor in the
stomach where, none was exp acted; they

or absence of appendicitis; the location
of a bullet in muscular tissue or in the
osseous structure, the determination of
adislocation, the precise seat of,adhe-
sion in pleurisy, the discovery of a. brain
lesion—in fact, it is hoped and expected
from the present outlook that the ca-
thode ray will some day become the
great search light in surgery, the great
diagnostician, as exact and as irrefuta-
ble as a mathematicial axiom. , '
If the penetrative quality of this mysl
terious property be still further devel-
oped the possibilities in other directions
are well nigh limitless. The internal
secrets of all structural work will be
laid bare with its employment as a de-
tector of faults.
Nothing invisible in the concrete
world can escape after it has been
brought to the zenith of perfection.
Caught a \Vhale in His Net.
The sharks drove a hump~backed
whale into the nets set by W. D. Gori,
of Capitola, recently, after giving him
a. merry chase for his life. When they
got the whale tied up they left him and
went of to seek other prey.
Gori came down to his ets in the
morning and found. instead of the bass
for which he had set his nets, the whole,
for which he had no particular use. It
was a question of saving his nets. He
and his men found the hump-back a
tough follow to deal with, and finally
had to resort to dynamite, which was
driven into him with a pointed gas-
pipe.
The huge fish, which was over forty
feet long, dropped immediately to the
bottom of the bay as soon as the explo-
sion occurred, carrying the net with
him. The seine was worth about one
hundred dollars, and the Oil to be se-
cured will not cover half the cost.—
