New York (Speci*!).—Th*t lo»* of iicht, cancerous disease and even death, may come to him who is continually exposed to or meapeneneed in the, use of roentgen rays has been demonstrated by an awful experiment in the laboratory of Thomas A. Edison. C.arence Dally, an assistant to the "Wizard of Menlo Park," has contributed an arm and a hand to this demonstration, while Mr. Edison himself -sufltrs ftoir.-the dsaterb^l foccs of one of his eyes through exneriments with the mysterious light in an endeavor to find for it some commercial utility. The chief sufferer. Dally, is left to depend entirely upon the generosity of Mr. Edison, in whose interest,.suppiemen ted by an enthusiastic desire to drive deeper in that mystcriou force which brings to view objects concealed in solid matter, he has been i»capacitated from taking up the life burdens and duties that uipially fall to a

man.

The story of Dally is told by Dr. Graves, one of the leading surgeons of New Jersey. “Dally came to me nearly seven years ago," said Dr* Graves, “and, I wish to say that I regard him a marK lo science. He is so regarded by medical' profession generally, for not one cent lias ever been charged him for either surgical or medical services. He presents to science a pitiable object-lesson of the dangers of in--experienced or continuous experiments with X rays, and his sufferings have done more to bring to professional notice a •orreet knowledge of things to be avoided than anything else in the' history of scientific research upon this . subject. He had been following his hobby enthusiastically and had been testing tubes in the Edison laboratory, exposing himself to the forcible light with an utter disregard of self. “In the beginning his hair begCn to fall out and his face began to wrinkle. The trouble in his left hand finally developed into a skin cancer, and the whole arm. away np above the elbow and well into tne biceps, was affected. There was a consultation of physicians and it wa« agreed that he must be operated upon at once or the poisonous cancer would place his life in jeopardy. Two years ago his arm was ampu-

tated.

"1 then turned my attention to the right arm with a view to saving it. but it began to manifest the same disposition as th^ amputated arm. and a short time ago I took off fou Daily's fingers, so that now he bss but •nr thumb on one hand with which t earn his livelihood.” * Another sufferer from X rays. Ml Edison himself. wa\ seen at his home, in Llewellyn Park, Orange, and asked to tell the story of the experiment which disabled Dally and came near making him sightless. "Don't talk to me about X rays." he said. "I am afraid of them. I stopped experimenting with them when I came near losing my eyesight, and Dally, my assistant, practically lost the use of both of his arms. I am afraid of radium and polonium, too. and I don't want to monkey with them. “Up to two years ago I was deeply interested in X rays. I was looking for an improved crystal and there were daily results that fascinilcd me .and kept my eye glued to the Horoscope virtually all the time. "I used my left eye. and one day ■hen I came ort of the dark room and loscd my right eye for a moment Aerything looked double. I hastened to an oculist, who -said that my eye was something over a foot out of focus It is still imperfect, and I do not think that it ever will be entirely well.'' FIGHT SHERIFFS POSSE.

INSTRUMENTS TO flEMCT WEATHER.

Lxptrimtwtt With IfoMter Caries tat by the Scire Hsu •< foe Smiths—ee Washington, D. C. (Special) —The scientists of the Smithsonian Inatitn:ion are conducting a series of experiments with a newly completed coeloitat. By the use of this instrument R is believed more accurate weather predictions will be made. The present experiments deal with the absorption of the son's ray* by the gases surrounding the snn. This absorption varies and thus has a great influence upon the weather conditions ot the earth, and vice versa. The observations are based on this theory. A sufficient number of obwrvatlbns have not yet been made to furnish a etablr basis for this theory. The new coclostat which has beer erected in the rear of the Smithsonian Institution is the largest in the United States, and differs from th* other instruments in that it has a *econd mirror that gives a fixed northern ray. as well as the first mirror, which reflects a ray fioin' the different positions of the sun. The telescope which is used in connection with the coelostat lias a horizontal length of 14c feet. Especial attention will be given in these observations to the so-called "sun spots.” for the origin of which many theories have been advanced. TRAIN STALLED FOR TWO TEARS.
