INTO AN UNEXPLORED COUNTRY.
His Discoveries Have Aroused Great Inter

Europe, and Be is Warmly Congratu

New YonK, Fob. 17. Dr. Donaldson
Smith, tho young l'iillndolphla physician
who has recently oxporloucod somo stir
ring adventures on Ills expedition to Lnke
Rudolph, Africa, nrrlvod horo yesterday
from England on hoard tho St. Louta. Ho
went direct to h!s homo In Plilladelphln,
where ho will bo busy with his book on his
Inst journoy, which will bo published
simultaneously In England nnd eVmoricn.
Dr. Smith contomplntes another expedi
tion to northeast Africa, starting as before
from London.
During his reconjt trip tho explorer hnd
somo magnificent sport, nnd hnd somo
nnrrow oscnpes from big gumo. Ho shot
a number of elephants, ono with a pair of
tusks weighing over 208 pounds. Ho took
altogether mora than n thousand pounds
weight of Ivory. Over twouty rhlnocerl
foil to his gun, thirteen elephants and sev
eral lions and othor big gnmo. During his
travels four of his boys wcro wounded and
two of his transport camols killed by an
Infuriated rhluocoros, and Dr. Smith nl
most lost his Hfo on mora than ono oc
casion by wild charges of this beast.
During his expedition ho fought two
pitched battles, and It will bo remembered
tho whole party had n narrow cscapo from
being cut up by tho Abyssinian army un
der King Meuellk.
Dr. Smith has rocolved congratulations
nil urouud in England by promlnont
scientists nnd learned soclotlos on tho re

ceed In penetrating a country hlthorto uu
vislted by whlto mon although sovornl
unsuccessful attempts had been mado
but ho has mado detailed and accurato
maps, to which tho Royal Guographlcul
socioty nttach tho highest importance.

PROBABLE MURDER.
Thomas KUcnhmwr Shunts at .lohn
Swhlilt to Kill.
Shortly after threo o'clock tills afternoon
Thomas Eisenhower deliberately shot John
Swludt in the left hack and region uf the
hcutt. Tho shouting took placo on tho
Lehigh Valley railroad, near tho Main street
crossing. Klsenhowcr was at onco seized by
soveral citizens nnd taken heforo Justico
Williams, who committed him without ball.
Swlndt was taken to his homo on East
Apple alley.
. Eisenhower was perfectly cool during tho
whole affair. Ho said he laid in wait fur tho
victim and shut him hecauso ho had been
Intltnato with Mrs. Eisenhower and ruined
his homo. Tho weapon used wasan ugly look
ing ono of 38 calibro. Elsenhower was formerly
n night watchman at tho Turkey Itun colliery
and lias been separated from lils wife fur
surue tlmo. As tho Iliut.w.I) went to press
tho prisoner wns taken to tho lockup, heavily
hantlcutl'ed, and will bo held for a further
hearing. It has- just been learned that
Eisenhower mado a mistake and shot tho
twin brother of his intended victim, William
Swltidt. Tho victim resides with his wife
and children. Ho is 30 years of ago nnd
hears such a striking resemblance to his
brother that a mistake could ho very easily

tho movement In favor of hU nomination
for tho presidency at tho St. Louis conven

Do II. Hoblson, of Olovolnnd.
Mr. Koblson, who Is tho representative
of Mark A. Haunn, ex-Governor M.-Klu-loy's
right hand man, called on Senator
Qudy at his homo In Heaver yesterday and
pointedly asked tho latter what his real
position in tho presidential raco Is. Tho
query was brought about by tho numerous
statements that Senator Quay's caudldncy
was merely n bluff.
Mr. Hoblson said tho senator received
him cordially, and in answer to tho lend
ing question uuhesltntlngly, nnd without
qualification, said his candidacy was bona
lido in every respect, nnd that ha was in
tho fight to win. Should ho fall it would
not be because his friends would not work
faithfully to attain their end.
Mr. Itoblsou was pleasud with tho out

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.
