Man la Almost Made Transpaiont by the
Uso of the apparatus.
New York, Sept. 22. ?The largest and
most powerful apparatus in the world for
generating the X-ray has jubt been com?

or the Colleuc of the City of New York.

eral other well-known surgeons, nave the
machine its first test Monday evening
ami was enthusiastic over the results. Hy
its aid man has literally been rendered
transparent.
The instrument is a Holt/, statical elec?
trical machine, enclosed lu a glass case
eleven feet high. It is supplied with
eight revolving plates, width are five feet
in diameter. These revolve on [n four
inch steel axis.
Tho machine is owned by Di. Gardner,
of Washington, 1). C, and will be sent to
him this week. It is designed for treat?
ing patients afflicted with lung disease.
The patients will first bo rendered
trauspareut through the powerful (horo?
scope, and then will be subjected to an
atmosphere heavily charged with elec
tric'ty.
The effect of this was demonstrated
upon a young man at tho college this
evening. He was put In a chair, tho cur?
rent was turned on, and nlthouuh thero
was then no cage to retain the ozoi e. tho
atmosphere, ho said.underwent a decided

pronounced. The experiment showed
that the human body, or aur opaque sub?
stance not more than a foot in diameter,
can be rendered transparent.

tum From America.
Paris, Sept. 22.? The following has
been issued by a semi-official agency un?
der date of Madrid:
"The declarations imputed to United
States Ministor Woodford by certain cor?
respondents are officially denied. It is
quite certain that in his interview with
the Duke of Tetuan the!American minis?
ter formulated no ultimatum, and that
their conversation, on the contrary, was
exttemcly cotdinl, and passed^off ,to the
entire satisfaction of both parties.
"Telegrams, moreover,from New York
and Washington confirm this denial and
affirm thai Gen. Woodford'n mission is
entirely pacific. President McKinley has
no intention of treating the Cuban ques?
tion iiefore the opening of Congress iu
December."
