Years of HAS PRODUCED CATHODE RAYS 1 Raymond Ehrhart Accomplishes Results That Surprise His Relatives and Friends-Leo Straub Is a Valu ablo Co-Laborer. In speaking of tho great Interest and in spiration excited in tho scientific world hy tho discovery of Prof. Roentgen and tho experiments of tcientists and inventors in this country with tho now X rays, a leading newspaper stated a few days ago that it looked as If tho rays would finally bo pro duced by such slmplo methods and appar atus as to hilng experiments within tho reach of amateurs. Tho Heiialu wishes to add to this statement that two amateur scientists in this town havo already produced tho rays with highly satisfactory result, and neither of tho parties is IS years old. Ono is Raymond Ehrhart, the 17-year-old son of Prof. W. N. Ehrhart, principal of thoMaha nuy City public schools, but resides un East Oak street in this town, and the other is Lee, tho 15-year-old son of Dr. 1). W. Htraub, of South White street. Thc-.o young men havo been experimenting with tho X rays for a little, over two weeks and accomplished their aim on batunlay evening. It is difficult to imagine tho joy with which the buys auuuunced tho result to their friends, and tho satisfaction experienced hy their parents is of no less degree. The accomplishment of tho boys is moro remarkable irom tho fact that they wero aided hy no special apparatus. Everything used in their work was mado and arranged witli their own hands and upon theories arising in their own minds, principally based upon what they had learned of eleitricity and photography in tho High School, from books and newspaper reports of discoveries and ex periment In both scientific spheres. Young Ehrhart is tho rccoguized electrician of tho twain and Stnmh the photographer. As soon as Prof. Roentgen's discovery was given publicity their attention was attracted by it and they determined to seo what they could attain in that line. After conslderaulo ex perimenting they undertook a llnal test Saturday afternoon. They placed a sensitive plate, about 21 inches square, within a com mon pasteboard box about tho samosize, with the sensitivo sldo upwards. Upon tlio cover uftho box they placed an ordinary leather purso containing tlireo dimes (tho purse being closed) a nail, anil a leuse from a small magic lantern. Directly over and about threo inches above theso aiticles was suspended by a silken thread a bulb which had douo scrvico as an incandescent electric, lamp, had burned out and been cast aside, hut yojing Ehrhart reserved it for uso in his laboratory. They also placed un each sido uf tho assembled material a largo magnet. They rested on empty tin buses which at ono tlmo contained eocu.1. The pouits of tho magnets wero drawn close to each other under tho incandescent lamp. Tho latter was connected with a battery which joung Ehrhait made for him self. The exposure commenced at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The laboratory was kepi in total darkness. At 7 o'clock in tho evening tho boys removed tho svuntivo plato aud found upon it not only excellent shadow graphs of tho nail, lenso and purse, hut aUo clearly defined shadowgraphs of the dimes as they wcro placed in tho pure.), ocattcud. The uegativo has hecu placed in tho hands of a professional photographer and ho is taking prints from it. Tho young wientists will distribute tho prints among a few of their friends as mementoes of tho first plato prepared in lino with l'rof. Roentgen's dis covery in Pennsylvania, outside of Philadel phia, ami moio interesting from tho fait that they aro tho handiwork of scientists who aio from four to six years below tho recognized age of manhood. Youug Ehrhart seems destined to follow til tho footsteps of tho great Thomas Edison. Electricity seems-to monopolize nearly all his thought anil'uttcutiuu. His laboratory is in Ins bedroom. A ruugh work bench in ono corner witli a homu-mado switchboard aud covered hy scores of batteries of all sizes aud descriptions, mado of old tomato cans covered with tin foil, discarded tumblers aud fruit jars, and other accessories strongly suggesting tho most unimportant accumula tion uf a junk shup, is the altar at which ho spends hours of days and nights, aud seems to worship. Mr. nnd Mrs. Ehrhart .-aid last evening, "Wo tried to iliscuurago Raymond In liis electrical work hecauso wo wanted to fit him fur tho medical profession, but all our ellorta havo been in vain, as you urn seo by tho accumulation of material with which ho has surrounded himself. "This spool you see with yards upon yards of wire wound upon it," said Mrs. Ehrhart, "ho made when wo thought ho was sound asleep. I happcucd to wake up at about threo o'clock ono morniug and saw a light in his room. Upon iuquliing into the causo I found him completing this spool." Sinco ho is so persistent and has I Micceeded in confirming Prof. Roentgen's I discovery without any aid other than that' given him hy youug btrauu, I suppose thero is nothing for us to do hut to glvo him a full course in electricity aud alluw him to purtuo tho bent of ids talent." Whilo ids mother was talking young Ehv haU sat hi a tilted chair with his head lent slightly forward, tho muscles of his faco motionless, and his cjos hont upon plates lying on tho rough workbench with which he evidently intendj to Improve, upou thu plate ho has already mado. What ho and bis colicaguo havo accomplished is somewhat Insigulficant when compared witli what has been done in that lino ; but It is certainly remarkable when wo tako iuto consideration the ago of tbo'boys, tho recent data of tho discovery and tho home-made character uftho apparatus used, and this in faco of tho pre diction mado by ono of tho foremost news papers of tho country only a week ago that "it looks as If tho ruys will finally bo pro duced by such simple methods and apparatus as to bring experiments within tho roach of amateurs," Indicating that no idea was enter tained that any amateur had tho hardihood to undertakoan experiment under tho present condition of tho discovery. It would seem that young Ehrhart is not only tho first disdplo of Roentgen in Pcnnsyliiauia, outside of Philadelphia, but tho llrst umatcur to successfully fullow his footsteps in this country.
