 upon the former is sharpened and dis- 

 tortion and enlargement are obviated. 

 The ray also exhibits some interesting 

 properties in connection with work on 

 the tissues and organs. The production 

 of a bone shadow and even bone detail 



is not difficult, but when the work em- 

 braces the differentiation of organs and 

 blood vessels, the problems arise. From 

 the specimen negatives Mr. Stanley 

 showed the author, it may be assumed 

 that his apparatus possesses some un- 

 usual advantages in this direction. 



WORLD'S LARGEST TEA POT 



According to the statement of the 

 Japanese proprietor of a tea house at the 

 exposition in San Francisco, the giant 

 tea pot which he uses as a novel attrac-

 over three and one-quarter 

 feet in diameter, and stands 

 three feet and a half high 

 without its heavy wicker 

 handle. Including the han-

 enormous tea pot is five and

 the tea house, in the neigh- 

 borhood o f seventy-five 

 dollars.

For the purpose of taking a picture of 

 the new giant of the seas, the battleship 

 New York, a well-known marine photog-

 directly in front of the bat- 

 tleship as it ploughed ahead 

 full speed on its trial trip 

 off the coast of Massachu- 

 setts. 



In recounting his experi- 

 ence, Muller tells how he 

 calculated his distance be- 

 fore the oncoming monster 

 and at the crucial moment, 

 when he sought to get the 

 best possible picture, swung 

 his little :6-f oot open 

 launch directly in the path 

 of the ship, stopped for
