that was paid before the prima donna donned hot hose and the curtain went up seeing the bones through the flesh the discovery of a new light enables the photographing of the bones of 0 the human body through the clothes and flesh the contents of a wooden box through that envelop or of a 2 leather wallet or even of 0 objects object s hidden by one metal aluminum this thi is s now announced from germany it Is the newest and one of the most astounding marvels of th the e advance of scientific discovery and it la Is wholly credited by men of so great authority as edison while others think the ae accounts counts of the present state of the dise discovery overy may be exaggerated but regard tile the achievement as quite possible the results of this new process are ar likely to be of the utmost value in medicine and surgery while h ile one can easily imagine that in malicious hands it might be applied to na mischief the story Is this that tor for several years prof roentgen of the bavarian university of lumburg has been experimenting peri with a light derived from radiant heat by means of crooks tubes the crook tube is a vacuum glass through which an electric induction current passes whose rays the product of intense heat are thrown upon pon the object which it Is desired to photograph edison says as quoted in the new york journal the khe cardinal factor of the whole matter Is this radiant heat but I 1 am satisfied the inventor has special rays thereof and special chemical plates radiant heat Is the energy of heat transferred to the ether which fills all space and also pervades all bodies the hot body sets the ether particles I 1 in n vibration and this vibratory motion in the form of waves travels in all direction directions s and with a velocity of about all miles es a second there is no essential difference between radiant heat and light both h eing being forms of radiant energy the ether waves differing intrinsically among themselves in wave length only and thus producing different effects hea heating tInK luminous and alien in the bodies on which they imkin impinge e according to the nature of these bogies bodies the waves whose heating effect Is generally the greatest are greater wave length than those which most affect the eye light rays and have longer periods of 0 vibration the qua quantity n t it y ot of heat of a body or the amount of beat k e a t energy which a body gains or loses in pashing through a different range of temperature la is measured by the quaintly of water it would raise at one d degree C gr e fahrenheit results R e S alt 3 obtained by prof roentgen are described in the journals article lie ile photographed a mans ankle in which a bullet was imbedded embedded Im bedded showing the bullet just where it was lodged ile he photographed a leather purse isho showing the money in it with perfect d distinctness Is ness A human hand was subjected ab to tho th I 1 lays ays and the result was a picture of its bones with the only a shadowy form around them the most startling experiment was the photograph of a young man beside a young woman which showed nothing but a skeleton form it Is also said that an iron weight was photographed through a box the box disappearing in the picture these experiments show it if they are correctly described bed that the less lees close the conta contact ct of the molecules of a body the more penetrative this light from radiant heat so that clothing flesh leather w wood and other substances of comparative freedom of movement among molecules offer no impediment to the process of this new light while bone mineral metal and other close packed substances remain opaque and are pie pic lured the picture however Is not a negative but a positive the radiant heat cannot be described in terms of light because in tact fact it Is invisible to human eyes invisible light Is a curious concatenation but that is all which one can say about it one can easily see in that the dis covery it 1 it can be confirmed must be of great importance edison says it will put an end to vivisection for t there here will be no further excuse tor for it the use of the radiant heat when it shall have become manageable will reveal the presence of diseases and will locate without error a bullet which has entered tho the body at once we remember the terrible mistake of the surgeons in the case of president garfield and realize that with this method the exact place of Gulte aus ball would have bew been discovered at once and garfielda Garn Gar dds fields life probably saved it Is by no means sure that all that is claimed for the new discovery can be borne out by facts but there are further reports coming colln g in for example a professor of the university nf perth has even
