RAY. Edison Says He Is Afraid of the New Light. HIS EMPLOYEE LOST HAND AND ABM (famous Inventor Telia How Clar ence Dally Wm Injured by the Rays—Haa Abandoned Search For Fluorescent Lamp, Finding His Slgrbt Impaired by Experiments. Will Have Nothing to Do With Radium. That impaired sight, cancerous dis ease and even death may come to him who is continuously exposed to or in experienced in the use of Roentgen rays has been demonstrated in a piti able manner in the lab^atory of Thomas A. Edison at Orange, N. Clarence Dally, an assistant to the "Wizard of Menlo Park," has con tributed an arm and a hand to this demonstration, while Mr. Edison him self suffers from the disturbed focus of one of his eyes through experiments with the mysterious light in an en deavor to find for It some commercial utility. Mr. Edison was recently seen at his home in Llewellyn Park, Orange, by a New York World reporter and asked to tell the story of the experiment which disabled Dally and came near making Mr. Edison sightless. "Don't talk to me about rays," he said. "I am afraid of them. I stopped experimenting with them two years ago, when I came near losing my eye sight, and Dally, my assistant, prac tically 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 rays. I used a fluoro scope which I invented, a pyramidal box with one open end, the smaller, and a larger closed end, the covering being a chemical sheet against which the object to be examined is placed, the rays being focused upon it. I was making experiments in a dark room that I had constructed in one end of the laboratory. I was looking for an improved crystal, and there were daily results that fascinated me and kept my eye glued to the fluoroscope virtually all the time. I used my left eye, and one day when I came out of the dark room and closed my right eye for a moment ev erything 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 will ever be entirely well. When I noticed the effect upon my eye I cautioned Dally. I told him that there was danger in the continuous use of the tubes, but he persisted because he was so enthusiastic upon the sub ject. The only thing that saved my eyesight was that I used a very weak tube, while Dally insisted in using the most powerful one he could find. The box of the fluoroscope only par tially covered his face, so that the light fell upon his hair and made it fall out— that is, what was left of it after expos ing his head to the light in a reckless way to illustrate its power. Parts of his hand and arm were also exposed to the action of the light. "I am keeping him on the pay roll, although he is not able to do any work, and I expect to take care of him as long as he lives. I have sent.him away on a vacation to Woodbridge, N. J., where the change may do him good. "Speaking of radium, Mr. Edison, what is your opinion of it?" asked the reporter. I have had several pieces of it from Mme. Curie in Paris, and I have ex perimented with it. I do not see its commercial utility, but it opens up a great field of thought and scientific re search. It overturns all the old the ories of force and energy and has set scientists to thinking. Do I believe that it is the solution of perpetual mo tion? No. I have a peculiar theory about radium, and I believe it is the correct one. I believe that there is some mysteri ous ray pervading the universe that is fluorescing to it. In other words, that all its energy is not self constructor but that there is a mysterious some thing in the atmosphere that scientist? have not found that is drawing out those infinitesimal atoms and distribut ing them forcefully and indestructi bly." "Did you ever find any commercial utility in the rays or radium My researches, I might as well tell you now that I have abandoned them, were in the direction of making a flu orescent lamp. I obtained results which brought me each day nearer to the ob ject of my desire. I found a crystal that was fluorescing '12,000 times, and thought I had my lamp. Then came the question of practical use. I could make the lamp all right, but when I did so I found that it would kill everybody who would use it continuously. No, I do not want to know anything more about rays. In the hands of experienced operators they are a valu able adjunct to surgery, locating as they do objects concealed from view, and making, for instance, the operation for appendicitis almost sure. But they are dangerous, deadly. In the hands of the inexperienced or even in the hands of the man who is using them continuously for experiment. There are two pretty good object lessons of this fact to be found in the Oranges." Colored Pharmacists In Virgiulm. DIXEY AND WHISTLER. The Actor Recalls Incidents In Con nection With Ills "Sitting-" When Henry E. Dixey was in Lon don playing "Adonis" he sat for Jamcg McNeill Whistler, the American artist who died a tew days ago, and the two men became rriends. Dixey's recollec tions of the eccentric painter are inter esting at this time, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. "He sent me word one day," said the actor recently, "that he would like to come to my dressing room and watch me make up my face for the imper sonation I was giving of Henry Irving. He came and stood behind me, watch ing th,e process of the transformation in the mirror. He acted like a delight ed child all through the operation. With the addition of every new line and ef feet he would utter an exclamation of pleasure and then confront me and ex amine more closely the counterfeit countenance. When the task was com pleled he pronounced the resemblance 'marvelous,' even at close range. "He invited me to luncheon the next day and asked me to permit him to paint me in my white and blue cos tume. I sent for it, and he stood ine on a pink mat and before a lavender background. Then he discarded the monocle, put on a pair of big specta cles, and, really, the man underwent a complete change of manner the mo ment he began to mix his colors. 1 never saw inspiration so clearly de picted on a face in my life. He talked half to himself as he worked. 'Oh, we'll do something fine this time,' he would say. 'Walt, wait, wait hold that pose, please. Oh, this will be all right- you'll see.' When I thought he had finished my figure at least I looked at the canvas and found he had made nothing but the outlines. When I expressed my surpris.e he explained: 'Ah, my boy, I don't work as many others do. I commence at the back ground and work out to my subject.' After an hour's time his cook sum moned liim to dinner, but he still paint ed on. To my surprise the cook, a healthy, middle aged woman, began lecturing him in French and actually took the brush out of his hand and compelled him to stop. The artist en dured this just as a child might and allowed his dominating cook to lead us to the dining room. "I sat for him several more times, but I had to leave England before the picture was finished. I received letters from him telling me of tiie progress he was making, but when I last saw him, two years ago in London, I was much disappointed to learn that the portrait was in Paris. "I have met a great many famous men," continued Mr. Dixey, "but I can recall none so striking in character as my departed friend Whistler." MILES AND THE PRESIDENCY Story of the General's Ambition liecalled by His Retirement. Apropos of the retirement of General Nelson A. Miles from the command of the United States army, an interview is recalled which occurred some years ago, in which the general told a story to illustrate his attitude on the question of being a candidate for the presidency. He was then stationed on a western frontier, and was approached by the representative of an eastern paper, who said: They say in the east that you are aiming for the presidency." Do they?" the general replied Well, we won't take much time for an interview on that subject The thing reminds me of an experience that a scout had in the old days when we were fighting the Cheyennes in 1875. That scout was a clubfooted Frenchman, a plucky, good fellow too, He had to make his way from Fort Keough to a cantonment on the Mis souri, and the Cheyennes were after him. They pushed him like Satan, and after a time his horse gave out, and he had to hoof it. Well, it was a rough, bad country, and his poor clubfeet slipped and stumbled and slid so that his trail must have been something awful to contemplate. An Indian can read marks in the ground as well as you and I can read a book, but they had never dogged a clubfoot before. He got into the cantonment all right, and pretty soon the Cheyennes came along. They pointed to the trail and asked our people to look at them. 'We can't make out which way that fellow was going,' said they. Now, that's the case with these people who busy them selves about me. They don't know any thing about me, and they can't find out." After a pause General Miles turned his head and spoke a few words ove his shoulder. "My only ambition is to command brave men," said he, "and I've been doing that for thirty years."

THOUSANDS IN THE AGGREGATE. fwhen the Inte rnatlonal Races Are Sailed the Reliance Will Represent •bont $450,000-—Constitution and Columbia, the Trial Yachts, Stand For $120,000—Defense of the Cup May Cost $000,000. Occasional inquiries are made by (thoughtful citizens regarding the cost of challenging and defending the America's cup, but the answers receiv ed are always unsatisfactory, says the New York Herald. The conclusion is that the expense must be enormous, but "as it is impossible to obtain any thing like accurate figures the subject is generally dropped. On the eve of the international match of this year it may be interesting to refer to this important point and at the same time to place the public in possession of a few facts that will give them a good idea of the abiounts of money that are expended in trying to capture the old yachting trophy and in the efforts made by the New York Yacht club to defend it. The planning and building of a cup challenger or defender involve much time and labor and necessarily the out lay of large sums of money. The de signer and his corps of assistants are the first that must be met. Mr. Fife, for the challenging parties, and Cap tain Nat Herreslioff, for the defend ants, for instance, are men who place a high value upon their services, and, as the owners of the yachts are liberal to a marked degree, opening negotia tions with a view to the building of a cup yacht means a fee that in some other profession would be looked upon as staggering in its proportions. With the designer at work the build ers in time are consulted, and with ar rangements satisfactory in this wise materials must be considered, then the riggers kept in mind, as well as the sail makers, while finally the skip pers and crew are secured. Money is required by all these, and much of it. Even after a vessel is completed and placed in commission alterations and repairs are required frequently at times, while docking the craft for cleaning and smoothing purposes means large additional sums. The rather startling statement was made by Sir Thomas Lipton four years ago that the mere cost of the Sham rock I. was between $400,000 and $500, 000, while the expense of bringing the vessel across the ocean and that of her officers and crew were extra. That seems a big lot to pay for the vessel, but Sir Thomas should be the best authority on the subject of the cost of the yacht. If he expended a sum approaching half a million dollars four years ago for his challenging yacht the money the present trip is costing him must be far in excess of the figures named. The Lipton fleet now 1 ere is proof of that, It is easy to believe that the Shamrock III. cost quite as much to build as the Shamrock I., and it is quite sure the bringing over of three crews, those of the Shamrocks and of the tender Cruizer, must stand him in a bigger amount than the single crew of four years ago and the additional assistance he obtained in the United States. So, if $550,000 or more represented the challenger's outlay the first attempt he made upon the America's cup, it can safely be estimated that something in the neighborhood of $600,000 will be required to foot the bills at home and here incidental to his third trial to win the old trophy. With the amount that it costs the de fending side, however, the interest is more widespread. By the time the yachts are called to sail the first race for the cup the Reliance, selected to defend it, will have cost, one way and another, $435,000 or more. That is a staggering amount to contemplate, but when everything is cleared up at the end of the season it may be $450,000. In addition to this sum, there must be considered that in placing in com mission the Constitution her running expenses reached from $65,000 to $70, 000, while the Columbia has cost Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan $45,000 or possibly $55,000. These figures will therefore show that the defense of the cup this year will approach the very respectable amount of $575,000 or $600,000. The building and rigging of the Re liance cost a fortune. The yacht's con struction required the best of work men, while all the standing and run ning rigging was expressly made, and her canvas occupied the attention of a large body of sail makers for months. The Reliance has possibly a hundred different sails, and $15,000 or so will represent the cost of a suit. In this particular the Constitution and the Co lumbia have not been so expensive. The tenders Park City and Satellite are said to have been purchased by Mr. E. D. Morgan and Mr. August Bel mont respectively, but they are valu able assets and need not be seriously considered in this financial summary. The tender Sunbeam is chartered, and there can be no return from her, but Sir Thomas' tender Cruizer will be valuable after the match. With a crew of about fifty-five on the Reliance and a crew on the tender Sun- Women and girls are wanted in Call fornla to harvest the fruit crop, says [beam there are many men to be looked fllO MfiW VAflr rvnnfn/v I v after daily. The yachts sailors are paid big wages—$35 a month or more— and there is a scale of prize money ar ranged by Mr. Iselin so liberal that a Reliance man, if he is saving, will end season with Ttldy Amount to his Racin„ crews cost Drodigiously gives them excellent appetites. Tnere I are quite a3 uiuny stewards and cooks on the Sunbeam looking after the wel fare of Mr. Iselin and his associates and the officers and crew of the Reli ance and their own ship as are found In a good sized city hotel. All changes in the yacht's fittings, all alterations or repairs to rigging and spars, are paid for extra, while the flocking bills are very large. The $450,000 or more that the Reliance will cost must not be included in any way with the New York Yacht club's ex penditures in arranging for the races. The nine men who own the defender will bear the burden of that vessel's expenses, but the syndicate does not meet the personal bills of Mr. Iselin, the managing owner. It may cost the club $25,000 or more to see that the match is properly sailed and the challenging vessel receives all that is due her, while the amount in cidentally expended by the public that it may witness the races need not now be thought of. A MINT FOR MENELEK. Abyssinian Make His Monarch to Own Coin. King Menelek of Abyssinia is getting along in the world. First he thrashed the Malidists. Then he drove the Ital ians out of his kingdom. Then he wel comed the diplomats of European na tions. playing one against another. Now he is to have a mint, says the New York World. What an advance this means may be realized from the fact that Abyssinia until recently has been getting along with cubes of rock salt for cash. A small amount of coin minted in France has of late been in circulation. Now the king will make his own. Consul Masterson of Aden reports that he has saved up 110,230 pounds of gold for the purpose. There are 400 tons of mint machin ery. It was sold by a Stettin concern and was landed at Djibouti, East Af rica, with a competent mechanic to set it up. The machinery will be transport ed by rail to New Harrar, about 150 miles, the end of the road. Thence it will be transported by caravan to the capital, Addis Abeba, the caravan jour ney occupying more than a month. 'GIN BUCK" A NEW DRINK. It Is Like a Rickey Except That Ginger Ale Is Used. Nearly every summer some new drink is invented and becomes popular in the bars over the country, but so far this season none of several new decoctions that were started out as the summer's fad in the d' inking line has obtained a lasting popularity, says the Kansas City Star. In Virginia, the home of the mint julep, an effort was made to super sede this favorite drink. The new bev erage was practically the same as the mint julep, cxcept that it contained cu racoa, a cordial. But the new drink didn't prove popular. Curaeoa, howev er, is largely.used thjis summer to flavor drinks. About the only new drink called for at the leading hotels In Kansas City is the "gin buck." This is quite popular. It is composed of the juice of half a lime, a jigger of dry gin. and then the glass is filled up with ginger ale. The gin buck" differs from the rickey only in the use of ginger ale instead of wa ter. BRIGHT FUTURE FOR In INDIA. Dr. Thobnrit Says as Christian Land It Will Eclipse Pagau India.
