Edison's Latest Kxperiments wltb
the New Force.
Xew York, April 19. Criticisms of
Thomas A. Edison's claim thatthe "X"
rays are a form of sound waves have
led the inventor to make further ex
periments to prove the theory. He
has both seen and heard the sound
waves, one of his visual proofs being
as follows:
A plate of steel one-eighth of an
inch thick and "I feet square is set up
in a frame so as to bring the cen
ter on a line with the fluorescent bulb.
When the light is turned on and the
fluorescoiK! is held close to the center,
no light can be seen, but when the
fiuorescope is moved along the back
of the plate, about an inch or two from
the surface and out toward the edge,
the rays of light or sound appear on
the surface of the fiuorescope.
The sound wave strikes the surface
of the plate and diffuses itself over it.
The waves radiate fromthe bulb in all
directions. They strike the edge of
the steel, turn right around the edge
and run to a central point. That is
possible only because the sound wave
proceeding from the fluorescent bulb
is many times slower than light. Hut
one of the clinchers of the wizard's"'
contention is that the sound waves
can not only be seen but heard as
well.
With a phonograph receiver Mr.
r'dison's assistants heard the sound
waves around the edge of the screen.
As they approached theedge the sounds
became more distinct. When they
moved the free end of the tube to the
cynter of the sheet steel they could
hear nothing: but close to the edges
they could hear it. at the same points
where they J-ouId be detected with the
fluorescojie. And when Mr. Kdison
told of that he added: "liut I have
made some experiments that are better
than that."

RAIN BLACK AS INK.
Hall, Too, and Wind Wreak Destruc

Dexter, Mo., April 2i The most
severe hail and wind storm which has
ever struck this section prevailed here
yesterday afternoon and last night.
In some parts of the county hail as
large as bird eggs fell, and in places
it was in piles from four to six inches
deep. Fruit was beaten from the trees
and early vegetables were destroyed.
The wind uprooted trees, unroofed
outhouses and blew down fences north
of here. A curious phenomenon of the
storm was that the water which fell in
places was inky black.
