Editorial - Tesla's Latest Contribution to the Roentgen-Ray Phenomena

In this issue of the Electrical Review we have the pleasure to bring to the attention of our readers another contribution on the subject of the Roentgen rays from the pen of Mr. Tesla, which, like all previous articles, conveys much useful and interesting information.

Mr. Tesla dwells on the nature of the rays, and brings out in strong relief some ideas and results which he has already recorded in our columns, and at the same time advances new observations and conclusions that can not fail to attract the attention of all workers in this new and fruitful field of investigation. We believe the possibilities pointed out of producing nitrogen compounds will prove of the greatest value.

The medical profession must indeed be indebted to Mr. Tesla for the valuable hints he gives for the application of Roentgen's discoveries to surgery.

His announcement of the real causes of the deleterious effects on the skin noted by a number of experimenters will be a welcome and timely revelation.

Mr. Tesla touches on the recently brought out and sensational subject of "making the blind see" by means of the Roentgen rays, presenting arguments and regretfully showing the hopelessness of such a task.

This latest communication will particularly interest the readers of the Electrical Review by the wealth of the suggestions and important information it conveys.
