EUROPEAN EXPE It IMENTERS’ WORK They Make Discovert* o Heretofore Un known In Till* Country—Special Photo- Craphlc 1’nper For the Direct Reception of the Rays Is Now Made—An Impor tant Surgical Application of the Ray*. Washington, March 11. — United States Consul General DeKay, at Ber lin, has submitted to the state depart ment an interesting report upon later developments of the x rays, accompa nied by a pamphlet, in which Professor Roentgen, the discoverer, explains his researches. The consul general's report gives many facts that havo been discovered by European experimenters in regard to the rays, which are unknown in this country. For instance, ho reports that they have been used to detect false pearls, after an exposure, of 45 minutes, and an Australian professor has discov ered that they can also bo u.;cd to de tect false diamonds. A Berliner has made a special photo- graphic paper for tho direct reception of the rays. In consequence, it is now unnecessary to make a negative, and so the reversed impression incident to tho negative is obviated. Moreover, it has been found that many pictnrej may bo taken at once in this manner by using a packet of the sensitivo paper, since tho rays pouctrato all of tho layers. Rector Bonder, in Spies, has suc ceeded in passing the rays through a brass counter, the resulting photograph showing tho inscription on one side and a bird in relief on tho other. New methods of work havo been brought to light. Tho length of exposure has boon reduced from ono hour to a few min utes. Tho heavy charges of electricity which destroyed so many Crookes’ tubes havo boon found to bo unnecessary. Moreover, tho tubo itself is not re quired, and an ordinary incandescent lamp suffices if a metal plato is placed at a sufficient distance from it to catch tho cathode or x rays. But one of tho most important appli] cations has Leon made surgically. By placing a subloct to ba examined before a scroen faced with a mixture of barium, platinum and cyannm and allowing tho rays from a tubo enclosed in a dark cloth to traverse tho body, tho impres sion can bo seen by tho eve on tho sur face of tho scroon, which is rendered fiourcseont where tho rays fall uninter rupted upon it, and the surgeon is con sequently enabled to move tho subject freely before tho screen and examine tho interior of tho body for foreign sub stances or hurtful growths and distorted bones.
