A short time since, the Ixhei'EXD
ext had a paragraph mentioning
some recent remarkablojllscoyeriea
ln"phutography." Since" then, ex
changes from the"liist have lieeu re
ceived, containinif further detail.
The Scientific Ameriinn tf February
8th, ha this:
The now. famous Roentgen's dis
eovcrv has btn still further de
scribed, the accounts have a-wutned
better shape, and his experiments
have been repeated in this country
by some of our leading physicists.
It was on' January 4th. at the cele
bration of the seml-cenleunial of the
founding of the Berlin I'hysical .So
ciety, that Frof. Roentgen described
his discovery, which had been accom
plished only a fewjdays before, de
tailing his results and presenting
proofs of his photographs. The rays
emanating; from the cathode of a
t'rookea tube were used, and in their
new role were named "X Strahlen,"
or "X rays." Froressor iioentgen
advanced the theory that the rays
are due to the propagation of longi
tudinal ether waves, analogous in
type to sound waves, only differing
in their medium or material.
Frof. Fhilio Lenard. of the Uni
versity of Bonn, had published two
papers in Wiedemann's Annalen,
one in January, iH'.u, ana one in
(X-tober, 189f, showing how the
cathode rays could readily pass
through aluminum. While the
course of the rays passing through
aluminum was investigated by him,
Drinclnallv with the aid or nuores-
ceuce, he used also sensitized photo
graphic plates, lie obtained results
closely approximating those of Frof.
Roentgen.
Prof. A. W. Wiiitht. of Yale Uni
versity, occupying the chair of ex
perimental physics and director or
the Sloan Physical Laboratory, tried
the cathode ray photography with
much success. lie trot prints of vari
ous objects through opaque screens.
One point brought out is, that while
it Is distinctly shadow photography,
it is so with a difference It is not
merely silhouettes that are imprint
ed. The effect of the rays upon the
photographic plate varies with the
nature and thickness of the object
through which they pa-s, so bstt
some representation of its contour
and inner structure can be obtained.
Oue of Prof. Roentgen's exhibits
was the photograph of the skeleton
of R hnntl taken from the livlmr
hand, the point being that the bones
produced a denser "shadow" limn
did the flesh. This differential action
has enahltd an aluminum medul to
give an image showing its lettering
and design. An attempt to take the
skeleton of the hand at Yale resulted,
it is said, less favorsbly than with
Prof. Roentgen. Prof. Wright's
other results were most satisfactory.
He found that glass was more opaque
to these rays than was ebonite, thai
aluminum was more transparent than
other metals, and his photographs
were very interesting and quite
numerous.
At Harvard University, Prof.
Trowbridge, director of the Jefferson
Physical Laboratory, also obtained
cathode ray photographs. He is said
to have used an exceedingly power
ful excitation, enough to give a six
inch spark through air; probably a
lesser power would answer.
The effects of the new discovery
uon medicine and surgery in the
diagnosing of disease have been
much insisted on, and a recent dis
patch from Vienna states that Dr.
Neusser, of the Vienna University,
hits succeeded in detecting calcareous
deposits in .the internal organs of a
patient by the cathode rays.
The rays have been proved incap
able of refraction or jsilnriz ttion, and
their nature and constitution afford a
most difficult problem to deal with
one whose solution may greatly
modify our views of radiant energy
and of the luminiferous ether, and
hence of cosmic questions of the ut
most magnitude.
An interview with Edi.-on, found
in the Detroit Electrical Student, ex
plains seme things not made clear In
the foregoing. The wizard says:
"This matter is by no means to be
called an Invention, though it ojens
a vast vista to science. It .is a new
development In the field of physics,
and while it is as yet in Its Infancy
there is no doubt that even in its
present state of development it is
,.,.ir.

and the cathode ray.
"What Is the cathode ray? That
aaaeaa. ai aa mm aBaa. eaaaaaB

is difficult to explain; but you must
understand that the electrical poles
are called cathode or oitlve and
anode or negative.
"Now the cathode pole sends out
rays of energy which travel Id a
straight line, unlike light, which
travels in an undulatory or wavelike
path. And these cathode rays are
. caialile of producing an impression
on bromide plates.
If any one were to ask me why
this is so I can only answer I do not
know, but my own exM?riments here
in my laboratory at Orange have
demonstrated this fact, although I
have had no communication with
any one on the other side.
Now, let me try to explain how
these photographs are obtained. If
you place a highly sensitized plate in
a camera obscura and suspend in
front of it an object that is impervi
ous to the rays of ordinary light you
can get on the plate a shadow due to
the rays of the sun.
Now, suppose that instead of the
sun's rays and the glass front to the
box you have the cathode ray and a
wooden front to the box. The
cathode ray penetrates the wood just
as the suu.does the glass, and with
similar results.
In all the experiments made on
the other side I have noticed that
they used what is known as Crook's
tule, which is of glass.
Oue reason for my lack of perfect
success so far has been that I have
been using a battery. But I am fix
ing up a dynamo. Wheu I have a
sufficiently powerful engine I am
Hure;there will le no question of ob
taining a good photograph of a man's
hand, showing only the hones, or a
similar result with anything else in
w hich the exterior is pervious to the
cathode ray and the matter Inside
lmiervious.
Scientifically stated, the results of
this discovery show that there Is a
form of energy which has been sup-
Hsed to exist and is now dentou
st rated.
Tlie technical description of the
cause that produces this effect Is that
it is a 'disturbance of the ether.'
Do not ask me what ether is, for 1
do not know: but just as sound
travels through grosser material air,
so do light, electricity and magnetism
travel through ether.
All of these agents are undulatory
in their movements from point to
(Hiint; while the movement of the
cathode rny is vibratory only. For
example, take a piece of rope and
fasten one en J of It to a wall, then 9 j
off a certain distance and shake if.
It will move in waves; that Is the
undulatory vibration. Now pull the
same rope taut and it vibrates but
does not undulate.
It may be of interest to know with
reference to Prot. Roentgen's discov
ery that some time ago in experi
menting with the rays from an arc
light I found certain rays that would
pass through quarts and not through
glues."
The article above, from the Scien
tific American, states that the cathode
ray Is not subject to refraction
bending out of a straight line. Prob
ably it is also Incapable of being re
flected, hence the cathode ray must
proceed from beyond the object to be
photographed, and the image will
apear as a silhouette.
A report comes by telegraph this
week that the cathode ray may be
refracted, hence it can be foeussed on
a plate by a lens. Must the lens lie
of glass, wood, or quartz.
If suffering with piles, It will In
terest you to know that le Witt's
Witch Hazel Siilve will cure them.
This uiediiiiie is a retillc for all
complaints of this character, and if
instructions (which are simple) are
carried out, a cure w ill result. We
have tested this in numerous cases,
and always with like results. It
never fails. W. K. Brock.
The Eastern press are talkingalsnit
celebrating the 40th anniversary of
republican party organization this
year in Pittsburg. The party was
born and christened under the Oaks,
In Jackson, Michigan, before the
Pittsburg meeting, and Oeo. A. Fitch
of Kalamazoo named it. A-k Aestln

verines yet alive. We were there,
and wi.-Ii to see the press of Michigan
sustain this just claim. What was
the date, Vic? old files' of the The
Citizen will show. Look them up.
Out of that gathering was born the
republican party, which held its first
convention in Philadelphia In the
June following, and nominate John
V. Fremont for " president. The
thought of commemorating t be day
has taken form in the Washington
city club and the hoj I expressed
that it may spread and take root in
every town and hamlet where there
are republicans enough to celebrate
It, but "be sure you're .right, then go

the tate Institutions. It shows the
monthly payroll at the penitentiary,
reform school, deaf mute school and
blind school to be i;l,224, or 38,68s
per year. Of the sixty-eight em
ployea the state also furnishes board,
room, laundry and physicians' service
to sixty-seven. Several families are
also cared for by the state. Five
families are supported at the reform
school alone. If the asylum records
were accessible, the number of era

The names and salaries of the of
ficers and employes at the asylum
can only be guessed at. it is saiu
that there are Irora 123 to 126 on the
regular monthly payroll, drawing
about $5,000 per month, or $60,000 a
year. The asylum is the largest of
the state Institutions; has more on its
payroll and its maintenance is the
biggest item of expense imposed upon
the state. The public, however, is
denied access to its payroll, who
have the care of Oregon's insane, and
what they are paid therefor, is known
only to the officials. The manner in
which the legislature contemplated
the asylum records should be kept is
found In the following statutory law:
"At the end of each month, the su
perintendent shall cause a payroll to
be made, which shall show the name
of each person employed in or about
the asylum, giving the capacity in
which each is employed, the rate of
salary or wages, and the amount due
each; upon receiving this payroll,
duly certified by the superintendent
and audited by the board, the secre
tary of state shall draw his warrant
on the treasurer Id payment of the
several amounts audited and allowed
by the board and la favor of the per
son to whom the same Is allowed. In
like mtjiner as other warrants are
drawn for the payment of claims
agaiiiat the state."
Referring to the duties of the asy.
lum board of trustees, the law says :
"They shall cause to be kept a full
and correct record of their proceed
ings, which shall be open at all times
to the inspection of any citizen desir
ing to examine the same."
FALSE PROMISES.
Congressman Hermann has caused
to be published In his paid columu In
the Oregonian a list of appropriations
he has asked lor Oregon. Among
the list la an item of $100,000 for the
upper Willamette. Judghig by the
past, that item will not be allowed,
for the reason that Hermann will not
Insist upon it. During his continued
stay Id congress he has neglected the
upper Willamette altogether. There
is no improvement that would be of
as much benefit to the people of the
Willamette valley as the ojienlng of
the Willamette river. But the
Southern Pacific company will see to
it that appropriations in that line are
niggardly in the extreme. Wheat
this season was worth from 2 to
cents s?r bushel more on the river in
this county than on the railroad.
The Willamette valley is the core ol
Oregon, and the Willamette river
runs through Its center. Why In the
name of all that is Just has it been
neglected by that great apostle of the
"dear people," Binger Hermann?
Iast summer Mr. Hermann pub
lished a long letter to the Oregonian
to the eflect that he never sought the
nomination for congress, hut the pto-
pie forced him to take it. The fol
lowing letter to Hon. II. B. Miller,
of Grants Pass, from Congressman
Herman, written in 1890, will be of
interest at this time, in view of the
fact that Mr. Hermann is begging
the nomination another term :
Committee on Indian Depredation
Claims.

Washington, D. C, March 3, 1890
Hon. 11. B. MILLER:
My Esteemed Frieud Your
kind and welcome favor is ust at
hand. 1 beg to express to you my
earnest appreciation of the glorious
words you write as to my probable
renomination. I need not conceal to
you my great desire to bo honored
once again with the vote of Josephine
county In state convention. Should
be honored with another term, 1
shall step down and out, and give
way, I hope, to some friend, earnest
and energetic, as yourself.
Sincerely yours,
Binokk Hermann
When the two years had rolled
around. Mr. Hermann, instead of
stepping down and out, was more
anxious than ever be renominated,
and left no stone uri'.rned . to reach
the end. He iiatroredand repudiated
solemn bromine made, nor -oraJIv.
but over his own wriUCnsignature.
And in 1894, when Mr. Tongue
withdrew his name from the district
convention at Salem, Mr. Hermann's
spokesman, a member of the delega
tion from Douglas county, assured
him in substance that Mr. Hermann
would not be In the way of Tongue's
nomination at the next convention.
What do the republicans of the
First congressional district think of a
man who will thus betray his friends
and repudiate his word, try to "pull
the wool over people's eyes" by stat
ing that he never seeks the office?

General Harrison writes of "The
Presidential Office" in the March
Ladles' Home Journal, and his com
prehensive article is outspoken and
plain. He takes occasion to com
mend President Cleveland's move
ment toward establishing a more
permanent consular service. The
ex president says:
"The need of a better consular ser
vice has been getting a strong hold
upon the public mind. The practice
has been to make frequent changes
in these offices Indeed an almost
complete change upon the coming In
of an administration of a different
party. The duties of a consul relate
almost wholly to our commerce wit'
the country where he serve. Tb
recent movement by Mr. tie vela c
and In congress for a better qualiflt
and permanent consular force Is to b
commended.
"It is remarked that changes in

countries, such as England and
France, do not Involve changes in
the ministers or eambasmidors or
consuls, as . they do with us. The
English ambassadorial ;Washlngton
holds right on whether the Liberals
or the Torlesare in power. He rep
resents his country, not a party, and
carriesiout .the instructions from the
home government loyally. He
never heard to make speeches attack,
ing the policy of the opposing party
or criticising his own people. Per
haps one of the chief difficulties in
our getting a permanent diplomatic
and consular sert ice grows out of the
fact that the tat iff question is one
that is always axute in our politics,
and the reports o our consuls natur
ally take on the viows held by them
upon this question. V We cannot have
a permanent diplomat Jq and consular
service until we can Una llplomats
and consuls who will leave - fheir
party politics at home. If they arel"
to be aired or exercised abroad then '
it follows that they must be In harV
