No scientific incident for many years has interested the general reader so much as Prof. Rontgen sdiscovery of the XR ays and their mysterious action upon the photographic plate and various fluorescent substances. The layman as well as the professional has been experimenting and trying to obtain knowledge of the source, action and effect of these rays. Considering the great interest taken in this subject by almost everybody, I have thought it prudent to compile this little book which is intended for the general reader; in no way is it to be considered technical. Some of the articles are compiled from the leading electrical journals of the day, and I am particularly indebted to Bubier s Popular Electrician, The Electrical World, The Electrical Engineer ,T he Electrical Review, Electricity and The Western Electrician and to The New York World, The Boston Post and The Scientific A merican, for such articles. I trust that my efforts may be of sufficient value to interest the reader. EDWARD TREVERT. Lynn, Mass., June io, 1S96.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
