Two rubber bands over fingers. 109 It this mysterious energy is so widely distributed photography wouldbe a most difficult art and science to practice. A rational and plausible explanation to account for these numerousreported sources of the X rays would be, that many of the experimen-ters had no knowledge of photography, and attributed any and everyresult they secured to the X rays which should have been charged toactinic light reaching the sensitive plate through leaky plate-holders. The sensitive photographic plate is not a substance to be used withimpunity, and in seeking for sources of the X rays careful precautionsmust be taken to eliminate any possibility of actinic light reaching thephotographic plate if the results are to be worthy of any consideration.Future experimental work with the X rays in which photographicmethods are employed must be conducted with a cle
