X Raya in Court.

It is amusing to find that an actress has been the first woman to press the Roentgen photographic discovery into her service in the law courts. Miss Gladys Ffolllett hurt her foot by a stumble upon an alleged faulty staircase ami promptly sued the Nottingham theater company for damages. They disputed tbe charge, whereupon Miss Ffolllett had her foot photographed a la Roentgen by Prof. Ramsey, produced in court the negative showing the precise Injury to the bone which she had received and promptly won her verdict. Really, the possibilities of photography In its latest developments are apparently Illimitable. One of these-days we shall have the male defendant in a breach of promise case producing a Roentgen photograph to prove that he is afflicted with a marble heart. and was therefore the merest creature of circumstances and not responsible for his actions in an affair in which sentiment was concerned.--Lady's Pictorial.
