Professor William C. Peekham, who has been prominently Identified with the development and use of the Roentgen discoveries, lectured on that subject before Brooklyn institute members at the Adelphl academy auditorium last evening.

Beside various experiments, Including the photographing of a man's hand before the eyes of the audience, a large number of curious pictures taken by the new process were exhibited by stereoptlcon. The professor had on the platform an electric machine, Crooke a tubes, glass vessels and metal acceBories. After remarking on the wonderful advance in science made within this century, particularly the latter part of it, and showing the pictures of those who had most contributed to It In physics, the lecturer proceeded to explain briefly tl)e Induction coil and then exhibited in the darkened room some brilliant phosphorescent and fluorescent effects. These were shown by passing electricity through various airless tubes, the deep blue fluorescence being of the genuine Crookes Instrument. A magnet was held near the outBlde of the glass and tho concentrated catnede rays followed it about.

A faint light continued In the tube for a considerable time after the current was turned oft. The most beautiful effects were produced in a misshapen bulbous vessel. The privilege of seeing through a board, which Is proverbially impossible, was allowed the audience by means of a device of Professor Peekham. In fact, there were about a dozen boards, each nearly an inch thick. The device is for the purpose ot ray photography.

The Crookes tube, like a long incandescent light globe flattened at the end, Is suspended from the under side of a square piece of wood, and additional slides fitting in grooves Inclose the tube In a tight box. This box was laid on Its side so that the end of the tube might be toward the audience. The several boards were intervened and the current started. Very soon a feeble glow was visible in the center of the laBt Blab. After this various impenetrable substances were held against the single thickness and showed darkly on the lighted background.

For the purpose of photographing the hones of a volunteer's hand, the box was set upright, three ildes removed and the hand placed ahove a covered dry plate underneath the tuhe. During the exposure. Professor Peekham showed skeleton pictures of birds, fishes reptiles and parts of man. ThoBe of the fishes displayed long White places where tfhe air bladders were located, and In the small animals lighter spots marked the lungs. Two photographs were of the knees of a little 3 year old boy, which are deprived of knee caps.

One picture exhibited a broken forearm which had been improperly set, a negative Which would be worth much in a damage trial. There was a crushed hand with a splinter of bone in it and another which carried a bullet. A peculiarity of one skeleton hand was that Its living owner had been able to put most of his Angers out of Joint. Feet which had been taken with tfhe shoes on presented a curious appearance because all the leather had melted into thin air, hut left a group of black nails at the heel. The most growsome of the series was the representation of a young man's face and head "before and after." Before he looked like an ordinary human young man and after as Hamlet found Yorlck's grinning skull.

The relative conductivity of different Jewels to the rays was experimented on by Professor Peekham and the results were shown on the screen. A strip of lead was oored In several places to accommodate unset diamonds, rubies and other precious stones, and variously dark spots on the plate marked the positions of the gems. A valuable aid to the use of the rays in surgery, devised by Dr. Bristow of the Long Island medical college, was also shown by the lecturer. It is a strip of wire squares to mark externally the exact location of foreign substances in the human body discovered by the TENTH WARD YOUNG DEMOCRATS.

SENATE MAKES ALTERATIONS IN LOCAL APPROPRIATIONS More Money for the Bay Ridge, Red Hook: and Buttermilk Channels Sound Money Campaign Within the Democratic Party Washington News. (Special to tho Eagle.) Washington, D. April 29 The river and harbor bill, as reported from the senate, was printed yesterday and distributed among the members of both houses. As far as Brooklyn and Long Island go tho changes made by tho senate have not been very material, ex copt In one or two Instances. Nearly all the appropriations for Long Island, including that for improving Newtown creek, Rtand exactly as reported by the river and harbor committee of the house.

The house appropriation for improving Bay Ridge, Gowanus creek, Red Hook and Buttermilk channels and removing triangular area between Red Hook and Bay Ridge channels, has been amended so as to read: "Improving Bay Ridge channel, the triangular area between Bay. Ridge and Red Hook channels, and Red Hook and Buttermilk channels, continuing Improvement $200, 000," instead of $00,000, as provided for in the house bill. The paragraph providing for the straightening of the channel of Gowanus bay and changing the harbor line was entirely stricken out and. no substitute provided. The continuous appropriation for improving Faitehogue river was amended so as to read "completing Improvement," and the appropriation of $9,000 in the house bill was in creased to Ex Congressman Ben Cable left Washington yesterday for New York.

He will stay there lor a day or two and then return to Chicago, where lie will remain in charge of the sound money Western bureau until after the Democratic national convention has completed Its work. While In this city Mr. Cable consulted with President Cleveland, Senator Vilas, Senator Hill, Senators Brlce and Oor man and other leading sound money Democrats and there is little doubt that he will be backed up In his labors by them In a material way. Before his departure Mr. Cable said: "I feel confident that the free silver contingent will be defeated in Illinois and that Cook county will elect sound money delegates to the state convention.

Governor Alt geld and his friends might. It Is true, throw out the delegates that we elect from Cook county, but I hardly think they will care to do this, for it will be simply driving a ccach and four through the party and will result in a most disastrous split. With Cook county the sound money men will only require about 170 votes to have control of the convention. I think they will get these and with Illinois lined up against free silver, 1 have strong hopes of the success of the sound money men at the Democratic national convention In July." "There have been ten times more requestB made upon the agricultural department for seedB this year," says an official of the agricultural department, "than In any year heretofore since the government commenced the gratuitous distribution of seed. This Is undoubtedly due to the publicity given to the matter on account of the controversy between Secretary Morton and the senators and congressman.

Although the government has provided for the purchase of the usual amount of garden and vegetable seed this year the supply does not nearly meet the demand, and there will be many people who will not receive any of the government bounty. If some of those who are so anxious to get the little bit of seed that Uncle Sam is giving away only knew the actual value of the seed they are 'Striving so frantically to get it is probable that they would not expend so much effort. But the very fact that the seeds are to be given away freo for the asking is suEBcient to lead the majority of the American geople to believe that they are getting something of real value. A little flgur lng will show Just how much this stuff is worth. The agricultural department this year purchased a little over 11,000,000 packages of seed, of which 10,000,000 were vegetable and the balance flower seed.

For this was paid for 10,000,000 packages of vogetable seed the sum of $70,000, but thl3 sum has Bince been Increased by $5,000, because of the demand of congress that the seeds should be divided Into packages of Ave papers instead of fifteen, as was originally intended by Secretary Morton. The flower seed cost 15,000, making a total of $80,000 for the eleven millions and odd packages of seed. The money valuo, at this rate, of one of the small papers of seed is Just about seven mills and, as there are five papers of seed In each package, this makes each package worth just 3 cents. One package Is all that is generally sent out in answer to a request for some seeds. This price of Shi cents Includes the cost of the seed.

the cost of the paper envelopes, the printing and pasting of the labels on the Individual papers and also the labor of putting the seeds Into the packets, and, Anally, the packets Into the packages. We estimate that the cost to the government for simply transporting the seed allowance of this year will be nearly $100,000. The seeds distributed last year weighed 270 tons, and It is estimated that this year's output will weigh fully 300 tonB." At last the United States government has gotten down to the practical work of recognizing the exhibitors to the world's fair held at Chicago in 1893, by bestowing the medals and certificates of award to which exhibitors are entitled. The first batch of medals, accompanied by the paper diplomas, was sent out of Washington this week, and the rest will follow as rapidly as they can be packed and labeled. The whole of the 25,000 will probably be sent out within ten days or two weeks.

There were several odd patents grantod to Inventors this week. One was granted to Jennie A. Blair on an electric heel and toe protector, by which the feet of persons are to be kept warm during cold weather. An Invention to be used in dispersing fogs has been patented by Frank Frey ot er, N. and.a magnetized tray for hair pins has been patented to prevent these useful articles from becoming lost and misplaced An Ingenious device has been patented, which is Intended to be placed on the ferule of umbrellas to catch the water dripping Irom a wet umbrella.

Patents were Issued this week to the fol lowing Brookiynltes: Walter J. Barron, as signor to Union Typewriting company, type writing machine; David H. Browne, electroplating pure nickel from ferro nickel anode; Addison B. Carll, adjustable bomb clamp; Arthur C. Fraser, metallic railway tie and rail fastening therefor; Carl A.

Mllllken, clipping machine; Joseph Schnu blo, pressure regulator; Jcfan H. Stoneman, printing press; Richard V. W. Wicks, couch. William F.

Orinnell, United States consul at Mancfaester, reports to the state department that during the three months lust end ed 67.389 bales ol cotton from the United States have arrived at Manchester by way of the Manchester ship canal. This is a greater quantity tlhan has arrived at that port during the entire two years past since the ca nal opened. "It seems," says tho report, that there is now more ground lor hope that the shipment of our meats and food products direct to Manchester by the snip canal will increase materially within a short time, be cause the burden of the completion of the canal and the auxiliary work now falls wholly upon the city; the rate payers are already reckoned somewhere about 25 per cent, of the rentals." CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL. FINAL ACTION TAKEN ON DR. STIM SON'S RESIGNATION.

Ministers and lay delegates from Congrega tional churches of this city and New York and from the First churches ot Montclair and Jersey City, met yesterday In New York to take final action In regard to the resignation of the Rev. Henry A. Stirason from the pastorate of the Broadway Tabernacle. Dr. Mere dith was chosen moderator.

After listening to the reading of the minutes of tho last meeting, the counoll decided to "be by itself" and wont Into executlvo session. In the mean while Dr. Meredith was obliged to leave and Dr. Behronds was chosen moderator. He announced when the members of the council returned to the general meeting room that Dr.

Storrs, Virgin and C. D. Wood had been appointed a committee to draw up a statement for the oouncll, which was unanimously adopt BUSHWICK AVENUE CONGREGATION AL CHURCH FINISHED. Formal Services WHI Be Held in the New Edifice on Sunday Morning. Some Features of a Modern House of Worship The flnlshlDg touches are being put upon the new and beautiful building of the Bushwlck avenue Congregational church, and it will be dedicated next Sunday morning.

The carpot layers are now at work putting down a floor covering of neat design on the main auditorium and in the Sunday school room adjoining. The Christian Endeavor society of the chuTch I has nicely and appropriately furnished the Rev. Charles W. King's study, which is In the tower, putting down a carpet of rich texture and handsome design, and providing a roll top desk and table. Mr.

King is already Installed there, having taken possession last week. The decorations of the main auditorium are of dark mauve color, well suited to the Romanesque character of the architecture. The Inside pillars on the Cornelia street side produce a fine effect In the main room and the ceilings are high, making the interior very light and cheerful. The Sunday school room Is so arranged as to be thrown Into on with the auditorium when needed, thus providing capacity for seating comfortably a thousand people. Above the Sunday school room is a commodious apartment for the infant class, THE REV.

CHARLES TV. KING. as well as several large Bible class rooms. The church will be seated with opera chairs, which are now being put In. Theoornerstone of this church was laid during the early summer of 1895.

As Is mrw known, the date of the ceremony was postponed because of a desire on the part of thoee concerned to comply with certain requirements of the building department which had been overlooked. Building progressed rapidly. The church is 75 fset wide on Bushwlck avenue, with a depth of church and chapel on Cornelia street of 100 feet. The auditorium has been so arranged as to get the most room possible, the pulpit, platform and organ loft being placed so as to face toward Cornelia street. The organ will not be put in until the means are provided, as the people are a verse to having any debt.

The pastor of the Bushwlck avenue church, the Rev. Charles W. King, has been with it for nearly three years, having been previous to May 24. 1893, when he was Installed there, assistant pastor of the Tompkins avenue church, under the Rov. Dr.

R. R. Meredith. Mr. King was unanimously called soon after the resignation on May 1, of the Rev.

Dr. William T. Stokes, who had been acting pastor since the admission of the Bushwlck avenue church Into regular Congregational fellowship on January 16, 1891. So rapidly did the church grow that Mr. King soon found It necessary to look about for a way to build, the congregation having greatly enlarged and the Sunday school more than doubled.

The building of the new. edifice was made possible by the generous gift of the" late Adrian M. Suydam. who gave the large lot adjoining the chapel and fronting on Bushwlck avenue, he having several years previously given the ground on which the chapel stood. This chapel was torn down, it not being adapted to the purpose of Joining to the new building.

Mr. Suydam also left a bequest of $10,000. To this sum the National Congregational Building society gave the Local Church Extension society gave $5,000, as the almoner of the sister churches of the city, and $5,000 was raised on tho field. The church has coot $30,000, and it will be dedicated practically free from debt, there being but a slight Indebtedness incurred in the furnishings. Every cent of the $30,000.

it was provided in the agreement contemplated In Mr. Suydam's will, was to be paid Into the hands of General Christensen before a stroke of work could be done on the new edifice, and this was carried out. The value of the property, Including the lots, is placed at about $50,000 The church was erected under the siioer vision of a Joint building committee, George W. Wilcox and Mr. Halsey representing tho BUSHWICK AVENUE CON National Church Building society: Charles A.

Hull and the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Kent, pastor of the Lewis avenue Congregational church, tor the Church Extension society, and George Knapmann and Thomas A. Cotton for the Bushwlck avenue church.

The money was deposited, as provided, on June 25, 1895, and the property at onoe transferred. The church is 75x100, is built of brick, with terra eotta trimmings. The services of dedication will begin next Sunday and will continue every evening except Saturday during the week following. The sermon on Sunday morning will be preached by the Rev. Joseph B.

Clark, D. secretary of the Congregational Home Missionary society, and in the evening by the Rev. Thomas B. McLecd, D. of the Clinton avenue Congregational church.

The Rev. Albert F. Newton, pastor of the Rochester avenue Congregational church, will make an address at the Sunday school rally at 2:45 in the afternoon. The other meetings are as follows, each at 8 P. M.

MC ELHENIE'S PLAN FOR SIMPLIFYING THE SITUATION AH THE BRIDGE. To the Editor or the Brooklyn Eagle: Following is a copy of the essential parts of ft letter I have Just taken the liberty ot sending to my representative in the assembly: To the Hon. George W. TV'llson, Assembly Chamber, Albany: As a cltiien of Brooklyn I venture to submit tor your consideration the following propositions which I otter as a simple solution ot the problem of bridge transportation, and, it you approve, I ask you to Introduce a bill to accomplish the purpose. Section 1.

That the trustees of the New York and Brooklyn bridge are directed to prepare suitable tickets for sale to the railway companies of New York at 1 cent each, entitling the holder to a ride on the bridge cars on the date shown on the ticket. Sec. 2. That the railway companies shall be required to purohase these tickets and turnish on to each passenger wishing to cross the bridge. Sec.

3. The trustees shall prepare another form of ticket to be sold at the bridge ticket offices, at both ends at 5 cents, entitling the holder to a ride across the bridge and a passage on any lino of railway connecting or contiguous to the bridgo terminal. Sec. 4. The railway companies shall be entitled to collect from the bridge trustees at stated intervals i cents for each of these tickets token up on their cars.

Sec. 3. The trustees shall make suitable provision to prevent counterfeiting of the tickets. Sec. 6.

This act shall take effect Immediately. This plan if enacted into law would simplify the whole matter. The people or course would have to change at either end into the bridge cars, but to ofTset that the bridge would remain tha property of the two cltleB and under the control of the trustees, and the passengers would be saving 5 cents each per day if they ride both ways. change whatever would be necessary in th bridge structure, so thero need be no outlay ot money by the trustees or the railways on alterations or extensions, and the risk of Increasing the weight on the bridge will be obviated. The railways will land their passengers at the opposite) end ot the bridge.

EVEN THOUGH MIGHT MAY SEEM TO BE VICTORIOUS. To tbe Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: No one who oelieves In the final triumph at right over mlglit should lay down his arms In the battle for the right of the people to vote upon the question of consolidation. Might may win apparent victories, but It has not the Inherent element of strength that will enable It to conquer In the end. The enemies of Brooklyn and of the true spirit of our American government hav raised their victorious cry too soon. What, if by the treachery of our leaders, our rights have been Ignored and we have been basely betrayed? Wo have Justice on our side and in the, name ot Justice we must win.

Shall one man be allowed to dominate the will of this free people? No. Tlils Is not a question of Brooklyn's destiny alone, but a question of vital Importance to our republic on this battlefield In the foundation principle of the nation's life to be rescued from the hands of the despot. Let us be true to the blood bought principles of the Republican party, although that honored party name Is trampled In the mlra by those who falsely can themselves Republicans? Why talk of compromise? How can expect to have our rights respected by the new government when those who are to administer It have refused us even a fair fight? What can hope for In the way of terms from men utterly devoid of any sense of Justice? It are to die It matters little whether by Are or th sword. But it has not come to this. There I still a Choice between liberty and life or oppression and death.

Still there is hope. Hop even that our governor, ttie people's governor, will vindicate the honored name he has always borne among us and defy the tyrant's power. But anemia the bill be signed we are not conquered. Your able paper hap ever been the champion of the people's cause and splendidly has It done Its part In this terrible struggle. Think not of retreat, stand by the guns that have dona such noble service nd still lead us on on ts victory.

AN OLD FASHIONED RSSPUBLICAK, Brooklyn. April 27. 1S96. TO LECTURE ON BOTANY. WILLIAM HAMILTON GIBSON IN HIS TORICAL HALL.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: As the spring opena and the early wild flmnn appoar in the woods and meadows one Is freshly impressed with the noble possibilities of Influencing the r.iinds of children through the riohly illuminated pageB of the Book of Nature. A child's character is singularly affected by Its attitude toward the wonders and beauties of the natural world. The boy or girt who grows up Indifferent to the sublimities of nature misses an influence which tends directly to produce lofty emotions and gentle sensibilities. No sweeter service can be done to children than to put them in the way of seeing and knowing how wonderful ore the skill and delicacy of workmanship displayed in that physical universe of God who "has made everything beautiful in his time." Perhaps the scleno of botany is the most effective Instrument for introducing young minds to an acquaintance with tho charm and mystery of organic life; and Mr. William Hamilton Gibson hat won a plkca of leadership In the unfolding of botanical wonder.

A few friends who desire to encourage the study of botany and the friendship with flowers among young lives, have asked Mr. Gibson to lecture lathe hall ot the Long Island Historical society oa Saturday afternoon, April 25, at 3:30 o'clock, and this he has consented to do, choosing for his subject "An Afternoon With the Flowers, and Honey Sipping Insects." The lecture will be Illustrated with moving models of flowers and insects. It is hoped that Mr. Glbson'B lecture will be a happy preparation for the country side life of the summer, alike for children and for their older friends. That the oceaeionVmay be thoroughly devoted to ohlld Interests, al proceeds accruing from tha lecture will be givW to a Children's Band for Missions.

WEAR HER TIARA. Brooklyn will got a look at the $5,000 diamond tiara, which the admirers ol Mme. Nordica recently gave ber In New York. Nor dica is to sing at the testimonial concert of to the Seldi society, which Mr. Seldl and his orchestra, will give on Friday night at the Academy.

She has been asked to wear her new Jewels ori that occasion and will do so. Nordica will also sing, though perhaps that is a minor matter, the great air from Gounod's "Quoen of Sheba'" and Isolde's lament and death with the orchestra. The other numbers on the programme will be the "Leonora" No 3 overture; Liszt's "Les Preludes," and the "Siegfried Idyll." Mrs. Langford last evening received the following dispatch from the singer: "Will wear tiara Friday evening with pleasure. S.

Nordica." PAOLINI PLAYED UNDER DIFFICULTIES. Iacopo Paolinl, the young Italian actor, portrayed the character of Othello at the Atheneum last night before an audience of about two hundred of his countrymen. The programme announced that the performance would commence at 8 o'clock and that the proceeds of the entertainment were for the benefit of the star. The curtain did not rise on the first act until after 9 o'clock, but the major part of the audience did not arrive until that time, so there are no manifestations of displeasure. The star made a strong Othello, without ranting and held himself well In hand.

His support, an amateur Italian dramatic company, with the exception of G. Zaccone. a professional, displayed a lack ot familiarity with their lines, but the audience did not mind a little thing like that. They applaiuded as heartily as if the performance had been as good as Paolinl would have liked it to be. The second act closed at 10:45 and Desdemona may have been smothered some time about 1:30 this morning.
