...usual the specialties are the funniest feature of the play. "The Prisoner of Sunday," an absurd burlesque on the Prisoner of Zenda, by Schurz and Knoblauch, is the cleverest. The X-ray specialty by M. E Stone, Jr., '97 and H. A. Curtis '96 is very funny, and the Tyrolean dance by F. S. Hoppin '96 and H. B. Fenno '97 is both graceful and picturesque...

This new form of ray lamp is that of a cone, and its characteristic difference from the ordinary Crooke's tube is that the sides or walls of the lamp are made of sheet aluminum 1/10 in. thickness; the base of the lamp is made of solid glass, practically a plug fitted into the base of the aluminum cone with paster-of-Paris, and made air tight. A metallic ring passes around the base of the cone and holds the sides of the cone firmly to the glass bottom. Through a point a little to the side of the centre...
...form of ray lamp has an interest aside from its construction, from the fact that experiments conducted with it appear to disprove the theory that a glass vacuum envelope plays a significant part in the generation of Rontgen rays. This theory, which was advanced by Dr. Rontgen himself, has been strongly supported by Poincare and provisionally accepted by other authorities. Yet Mr. Woodward has obtained excellent shadowgraphs from the radiations passing through the sides of the aluminum cone of his lamp. This supports another theory that has been offered, to the effect that Rontgen and cathode rays are independently generated...
