...lectures will be given this month at the Prospect Union; the first on February 14, the second on February 28. Richard H. Dana '74, president of the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform Association will speak on "Civil Service Reform," and Dr. George B. Henshaw '90 will lecture on "The X-Ray...
...experimenting with his powerful new battery at the Jefferson Laboratory, Professor Trowbridge has recently made a discovery of great interest to doctors and the public in general. In previous experiments with the X-ray, the back of the hand has been placed near the tube, with the result that the skin has been burned off in a painful and dangerous manner. Professor Trowbridge has discovered that the same result is produced by brush discharges in the air. This shows that the burn is due to powerful electrification, and not necessarily to the X-rays...
...past two years, Professor Trowbridge, director of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, has been perfecting a battery for electrical discharges. It is now the most powerful apparatus of its kind in the world, and has already been used in several investigations of the x-ray. It is the only battery strong enough to send a discharge through an x-ray tube; all other batteries send the spark around the tube. It has been used repeatedly to show the skeleton of the hand. An idea of its power can be had from the fact that it has a voltage...
...forty times as great as the voltage required to run an electric car. This is probably the most powerful storage battery in the world. Professor Trowbridge employs it in the experiments which he is now conducting to determine the spectrum of hydrogen. It is also used in X-ray experiments, the first use of a storage battery for this purpose...
...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...
