The Seventh Street Crossing. A correspondent, whose letter to The Star is printed today, urges that the police reg- ulation recently complained of by Senator McMillan with regard to the 7th street crossing on Pennsylvania avenue is rea- sonable and necessary on the ground that it is in the interest of theusands of pedes- trians who daily pass that point. The Star calied attention the other day to this fea- ture of the case In discussing the matter, and pointed out that this consideration fur- nished the only apparent reason for check- ing the speed of vehiclés in going over 7th Street. Yet there are points in favor of allowing the horses to go over the cable tracks faster than at a walk. The pedes- trian is supposed by the law and the regu- lations to have the right of way in the public streets, and to this end there is a rule, quoted by The Star’s correspondent, which provides that vehicles shall make way for pedestrians at street crossings. ‘The greater regulation unquestionably gov- erns the application of the less, and what- ever might be the rule as to the 7th street crossing this very reasonable and just reg- ulation, if enforced, should operate to pre- serve the rights of those who are obliged to go into the street at this busy point. Pennsytvania avenue is considered by the local law as two streets, and as the main crowding by pedestrians occurs on the south side, between the car tracks and the transfer station, it might be an effective and an equitable compromise to prohibit the driving of all vehicles at more than a waik over the south crossing, while per- mitting the horses to be trotted over the tracks on the north side. In effect, this would tend to clear the south crossing of a great part of the vehicles that now annoy and endanger pedestrians and passengers, and would meet the objections of those who fear to rein up their horses at a rapid tran- sit crossing. In such a case the general regulation in favor of the pedestrian at street crossings should be kept in force and should be strictly carried out. —— Bicycle Lamps. The new police regulations change the rule in regard to bicycles so that it is now required that wheels shall be equipped with suitable light “after dark.” This is a vague phrase that should be promptly de- fined in language that is not capable of various constructions, else complications will surely result that may give rise to much public ill-fecling against the regula- tion in question or at least against Its en- forcemeat I is doubtful if in a group of ten people ary two of them would agree upon an exact definition of the term dark- ness, which ts, of course, relative and which for the purposes of the law shou!d be defined terms of hours and minutes. The old regulation required wheelmen to exhibit a light after sunset. This was, not altogether just as it involved the lighting of bicycle lamps long before there was any real necessity for so doing, but it at least had the merit of certainty which ts not possessed by its successor. The period of twilight succeeding the setting of the sun varies according to the seasor of the year. In winter it is very brief while in summer it is long and sometimes the streets are well illuminated In warm weather at S$ o'clock. An excellent rule would seem to be to aire the bicycle lamps to be light- ed, say, half en hour after sunset in winter and one hour after sunset in summer, or, to iversify the rule somewhat, to provide for the differences that exist in the spring and fall by some intermediary periods. The Star prints daily on its third page a sched- vle of the rising and setting of the sun, tnus enabling wheeilmen to regulate themselves in accordance with the municipal rules, and ff such a rule as suggested should be formulated it would be comparatively easy for all to comply im strictness with its provisions. The bicyclists of Wasnington are now of such numbers as to warrant the expenditure of some amount of considera- tion upon this matter. ——_+ e+ Thirteen Ducks. It is in order now for remarks to be made apropos of the President's peculiar luck in bagging thirteen ducks on his recent trip down the river. He is evidently free from Superstition in regard to that hoodooed number, which has been in bad favor since the early days of the Christian era. But Mr. Cleveland has many a time given evi- dence of a disposition to break away from the fretting bonds of cenventionality, and it is by no means surprising that he con- sented to bring home the thirteenth duck. Down with superstition! Let the President shoot thirteen ducks on Friday, the thir- teenth of the month, under a full moon, if he wants to. —____ + +<— It is greatly to be hoped, for the sake of the faith that there should be in human nature, that John Bull's kindly demeanor toward this country In the Venezuelan matter will survive when he gets all these little worriments in other localities dis- posed of. es General Campos seems to feel that he is entitled to the same amount of newspaper space for interviews that he had when he was reporting victories over the Cubans. —++-____ With every congressional season ‘sena- torial courtesy” sags at the knees a little more. ——__+ ++ ____ Rontgen's Discovery. Much fs being said and written just at present by scientists and laymen about the new “light” recently discovered by Ront- gen of Austria, which, it is claimed, en- ables the operator to obtain photographs of objects hidden from sight by ordinartly opaque mediums or tissues. Little, how- ever, Is positively known on the subject and as is usually the case with half-an- nounced, half-explained inventions and dis- coveries, there Is a deal of wild speculation about the matter that tends to confuse the Teal scope and purpose of the newly found element and to cast discredit upon it. Rontgen's “light” is not light at alk but merely a hitherto unknown form of vibra- tien, probably of electromagnetic nature, beimg produced by passing a current of electricity through Crooke’s vacuum tubes. The technical name given to the manifes- tation is “cathode rays,” which apparent- ly have a power of penetration not possess- ed by ordinary light. The lmitations that are at present placed upon the applicabil- ity_of the discovery are positive and they should be taken into strict account in all speculations as to the scope of the photo- graphy of “unseen” objects. The process is to place a sensitized plate in an ordinary wooden holder, covered by the slide, in front of the object to be photographed, be~ hind which a Crooke’s tube is excited and made to produce the cathode rays. This is continued for from four to twenty min- utes and the plate is then developed as in ordinary cases. The rays do not penetrate glass, hence to interpose a lens would be to negative all results. This prevents fo- cussing and therefore accurate phologra- Phy is out of the question. Only vague outlines are possfble. It is found that these so-called “photographs” may be obtained of coins inside cf a leathern purse, the bones of the hand, and a bullet imbedded in the tissues of the thin parts of the body. The meager information now at hand is just sufficient to excite the enthusiastic imagination to hail the discovery as open- ing up limitiess fields in metallurgy, mining, surgery and other lines. It will be clearly seen ‘that the field is as yet very neirow. The object to be photographed must be placed between the plate and the source of the rays; heice the discovery of metals in the earth, declared to be one of the first Possibilities of the new art, is an absurdity. The rays, coming from behind the object, give only penetration without super@rial detail; hence there can only be shading on the plate to indicate the form and relative density of the tissues so photographed. The “licat” is not known to penetrate the entire human body, so that the surgical possibilities of the discovery are greatly Umited, and it is highly probable that even if the body could be thus traversed by the new medium only the skeleton would ap- Pear outlined in faint form on the unfo- cuased plate. Some of the suggestions cred- ited to Edison as to the uses to which the Rontgen discovery could be applied are ri- diculous. For instance he is represented as Proposing to find pearls by illuminating heaps of oyster shells; to aid burglars to locate rich hauls ins'de of massive fron safes; to make the business of gold mining and diamond digging doubly profitable and half as laborious; in short, to accompi'sh many feats that are so preposterous as to cause the reader to wonder if the great inventor really said such foolish things. SS ES ‘The Voice of the Huckster. Section 2 of article 10 of the new police regulations prohibits the loud use of the human voice !n advertising wares and in- viling patronage to private enterprises. Certain classes, such as newsboys and auctioneers, are wisely exempted from this provision, which should be strictly en- forced, especially against the hucksters who, in the spring ard summer, make the air vocal though not melodious with their discordant yells and often unintelligible jargon. With its smooth streets and well equipped car-lines, Washington should be one of the quietest cilics in the country, but the hucksters have usually had full swing, and although efforts have been made from time to tune to suppress the nuisance, they have given the noises cf the streets of the city a peculiar character that has not resulted satisfactorily to the repute cf the community as being peaceful and restful. Such a regulation as this ought to be comparatively easy of enforce- rcent, for the very olfense makes it notice- able at a distance, ard inasmuch as huck- sters are ail licensed the city has a direct and powerful authority over them that should quickly produce good results. A word on this subject in time may suffice to insure a comparatively quiet spring. Oth- erwise, the advent of the shad, cabbages, berries, turnips, potatoes, apples and other articles of this itinerant commerce will ere long be heralded through che streets of the capital in tones that will make of the peaceful city a veritable babel. ———> += ____ It is hoped that the fact that Mr. Glec- son favors the presidential aspirations of Thomas B. Reed while Mr. Carson likes Al- lison will not lead to another dreary dead- lock in the St. Louis convention. It would be a pity indeed if the Pres!- dent's ducking trips were to be always dis- turbed by the suspicion that Mr. Tillman might be making remarks about him. ——_+ es ___ There has been little or nothing sald about who is going to look after the mis- sionaries who are going to look after the Armenians. ——_~++___ Prof. Garner continues to feel confident fut what he can do with monkeys.
