Roentgen's new process of photograph
ing the interior of opaque bodies. Pic

strated beyond question. The bones
aud internal organs of tho body
may in a like manner be photo-
graphed. By a new agent which the
professor has discovered, opaque bodies
are rendered as translucent as glass
This discovery is fraught with wonder
ful possibilities. It is now iu a crude

will be of inestimable value to the med

Mrs. Daisy lola Morcilliott, wifo of
Jacob Morcilliott and daughter of A. K.
and Marietta Shlpe died very unexpec
tedly on Saturday evening, February
8th, 18S16, after two days sickness.
Deceased was an afl'ootionatn daughter,
a loving wifo and a kind neighbor. Her
neighbors ail speak of her as one in
whom goodness seemed to be natural.
She was a young woman of great Kind
ness of heart and almost unbounded
patience. These traits endeared her to a
large circle of acquaintances.
Mrs. MerciMiott will be sadly missed
by a sorrowing husband, a little daughter
about ten months old, parents and bro
thers in tho old home that is now dark
ened, and by the entire community of
friouds. She was a inombor of the M. E,
church, which was filled by a sympa
thetic audience at tho funeral. She was
also a member of tho L. O. T. M., which
society was out in a body to follow the
loved remains to tho grave. Tho K. O.
T. M. and P. O. S. of A. wore also in at
tendance in a body, decorated with the
omblomsof mourning.
Daisy lola Shlpe was botn in Columbia
county, Ia., June 14th, 1871, and was
twonty-four years, Beyen months and
twenty-four dnys old at the time of her
doath. Marienville Express.
HOOD roads.
Tlio subject of good roadi will con
tinue to be a leading one with our poople
until some system shall have bcon adop
ted whereby the State will bo ahle to as
sist tho local authorities in constructing
permanent public highways, and the
great expense of moving crops and other
haulage, not to speak of tho Inconven
ience of bad roads in tho ordinary inter
course betweon the residents of any
community. As Pennsylvania is practi
cally without any system of location or
construction of highways, what other
stales liavo done in this direction be
comes a matter et interest, and may
serve as a guide in formulating legisla
tion on this subject.
Tho law under whicli tho State of New
Jersey sets aside tho sum of $100,000 an
nually for the construction of permanent
public roads lias been In operation two
years. Under the terms of the act State
aid is extended sololy for the construc
tion of macadamized roads and only to
tho extent of one-third the cost, the
county being required to pay the other
two-thirds. It has been found that fifty
miles of road por year can be construc
ted on this plan, tbo average cost beiug
$6,000 por mile. In tho two vears about
one hundred miles of stone road had
been constructed, mostly iu five coun
ties. EJTlie most encouraging results of the
New Jersey road law are a hundred
miles of permanont road and an increas
ing public appreciation of the advantages
of good roads. At first only a few coun
ties were willing to assume the cost of
trying tho experiment. The number has
grown In two years from five to fourteen,
or two-lhirds of the counties in the state,
and it is evident that public opinion will
demand a large increase of the annual
State appropriation, which up to this
time has not exceeded $100,000. The
success of this initial experiment in the
building of permanent roads by the State
across the Deloware should furnish a
lesson to Pennsylvania legislators and
lead to the enactment of a law that will
encourage and foster good roads in this
State. Ilrookville Republican.
