Edison to Photograph Human Brain Through Skull Today
Thomas A. Edison prepares to photograph a living man's brain through the skull at his West Orange laboratory using five home made cathode ray tubes twenty five feet long. He aims to reveal brain structure and hopes for a cheapened, practical medical photography method similar to Roentgen's discovery.

Scientist Delves Into Cathode Rays and Zeppelin Dream
An article describes early experiments with cathode rays passing through metals, photographing objects including a mouse, and speculates on future human photography. It notes Count von Zeppelin’s airship project, Edison tube work, and related scientific hopes for 1900s tech progress.
How Nature Makes Silver Mining Process
A natural description explains how earth’s crust with water forms metal solutions that move through rocks picking up tiny silver particles. Heated water travels upward depositing silver in cracks and cavities, gradually filling pockets for thousands of years until a rich lode or chamber forms for future prospectors.
Timber Preservation Methods Described
A historical note explains timber is best hardened by withdrawing fluids, hardening albumen, and filling cells with antiseptic preparations to preserve wood.
New Side Wheel Propulsion Aims to Cut Atlantic Crossing Time
Inventor Daniel Park proposes side wheels mounted amidships below the waterline to replace or supplement screws. He claims 39 to 40 percent power saving, potential speeds of forty knots for faster ships, and Atlantic crossing times down to about three days. He argues wheels would be protected and stable, preserving propulsion without harming the vessel.
