Description
In all the history of scientific discovery there has never been, perhaps, so general, rapid, and dramatic an effect wrought on the scientific centres of Europe as has followed, in the past four weeks, upon an announcement made to the WÞrzburg Physico-Medical Society, at their December meeting, by Professor William Konrad RÃķntgen, professor of physics at the Royal University of WÞrzburg. The first news which reached London was by telegraph from Vienna to the effect that a Professor RÃķntgen, until then the possessor of only a local fame in the town mentioned, had discovered a new kind of light, which penetrated and photographed through everything. This news was received with a mild interest, some amusement, and much incredulity; and a week passed. Then, by mail and telegraph, came daily clear indications of the stir which the discovery was making in all the great line of universities between Vienna and Berlin.
