KEEN interest has been shown by most leading residents and farmers, who are of a scientific turn of mind, m a trial made this week by Mr Mitchell, the weil- known local Photographer, of the ' Rdntgen Rays,' or the New Photography. Many knowing ones predicted a failure, and speculation was rife as to what would be the ultimate result, but we are proud to be able to to state that it sur- passed all expectations, and we congratulate him on his success. . The mode adopted was as follows : — A solid bar of chilled cast steel, 17 inches thick, was placed on a stand, and a large card, with a well-known name printed on it, was placed behind it and the 'X Rays ' turned on at about two million horse-power, and exposed for twenty minutes. The slide was then removed, and the assembled gentlemen, who had been awaiting the re- sult with breathless interest, beheld the following : — %■ J I WOOL SEASON, 1896-97.
