Echo was a mountain nymph in the
old poetic days, but modern realism
has changed her into an h'ishman. Al
least the guests of a Georgia colonel
must have concluded SO. Col. Ogee-
chez has very remarkable echo on
his place a few miles from this city
one, in fact, which would clearly re-
peat whole sentences.
The gentlemen 10 whom this asseI-
ton was made were interested, but in
credulous, and arranged to accompany
Col Ogeechee home the next after
noon to test the wonderful echo. The
colonel found, on getting home, that
in the heat of tho discussion he had
claimed more than the facts justified.
Determined not To be beaten, he called
his Irish laborer.

New Source OF Electricity.

What may prove to be most val
liable discovery has been made by
Professor Braun, of Tubingen. Hith-
erto it has been found impossible 70
transform mechanical work direct
into electricity. Professor Braun has
found that nickel wire developed the
strongest currents by winding it into q
spiral and connecting its ends with a
delicate measuring apparatus (galvan-
ometer). The pointer of the galvano-
meter defects considerably according
to the elongation or compressor OF
the spiral, showing that relatively
strong currents are created, the cur
rent flowing during the elongation Of
the spiral in a direction opposite to
that in which the wire had been run
in its passage through the draw plate.
Should the anticipations of the profess
sor be fultllled, the currents would
supply TO the engineer the cheapest
means of transforming work intoelec-
tricity direct. New York Telegram.

A Costly Wager.

At the New York assizes, in March,
1912, a trial came on in which Rev. b.

peared that the baronet, at his own Ia

course of conversation respecting
the hazard to which the llfe of Bona
parte was exposed, had offered, upon
the receipt of 100 guineast, to pay /

that the sense of the company was
against making a serious matter of @

Sir Mark, 10 ask it as a favor, you
may be Off" This the baronet refused
to do. Tho 100 guineas were sent by
Mr.. Gilbert, of which Sir Mark ac
knowledged the receipt, and he hae
continued paying the guinea q day fol
nearly three years. At length he de
clined further payment, and this ac

sea bird, whose ability for continual
fight, owing to the power of tighten
ing its body, is well known.
Should man ever fly successfully,
said the learned man, ''he will have to
do it by means of mechanism modelled
after the elastic and muscular form of
the sea bird"
The authorities tell us that the fly
ing machine is of prehistorical origin.
We are told also that some 400 years
b. G. a wooden pigeon was made to
fly with considerable success. As this
exploit was accomplished moro than
1900 years before the trial of our
Scotch inventors machine we have
not much to boast of.
Just what will come of the discus
sion at the Academy Of Science re-
mains to be seen. Nothing at all may
come of it in the end except good
deal of theorizing. But in The mean
time Patrick G. Campbell, the doughty
Scotchman, who is the inventor of a
machine that made the successful flight
through the air. is going right ahead
and is terribly in earnest He has
worked nearly all his life on his inven-
ton, and now, backed as he is by a
capitalized company, he thinks he sees
success ahead.-Ncw York Mail and

Horse Dentistry.

Treating horses for diseases of the
teeth and mouth is new feature IN
veterinary practice, Since its intro
duction in St, Louis, however, 1t has
been demonstrated that a majority of
the ailments to- which the horse is sub
ieoted comes from diseased and defect
I've teeth. This can be observed al
most any day upon the street. where
YOU see horses being driven that hold
their heads to one side, or have their
tongues protrudiflg from their mouths,
or frothing at the mouth. All of thus
comes from some defect in the teeth.
An exposed nerve or an ulceratea
tooth is as painful to q horse as it is to
a human being, but most generally
the poor animal is allowed 10 go
through the greater part of its exist
ence without any attempt being made

teeth in horses is now regular bust

a large establishment where q large
number of hclses are employed but
that the service of dentist is neces

A Problem Agitating the Academy of Sc
Cnxnn1pv IN Ronrn Invention.

A Problem Agitating the Academy Of Sci.
ence-A Company to Boom Invention.
An adventurous aeronaut succeeded
IN flying couple OF miles in the sub
urbs OF New York, with the aid Of
huge machine that had wings, and that
seemed TO use them with considerable
success. For something like genera
ton the inventor of this flying ma
chine had been at work upon II, and
had been laughed at because OF it as
heartily as ever the irrepressible Keely,
Of motor fame, was laughed at. But he
was Scotchman, who possessed true
Scotch tenacity He stuck TO his idea
and finally had the satisfaction of see
ing its great wings beat the air over
Coney Island and carry il consider
able distance before it was thought
well to let it rest,
As a result OF this there has been Or
ganized a company with capital OF
81 900, 900, the object Of which Is edu-
cate the pubic III the matter Of flying,
and to supply tho wings that will be
necessary.
Even the august academy of sci
ences, which once every week discus
ses subjects that most people know
nothing about, and whose members
know pretty much everything that
mortal man ought to know, Is taking
some cognizance of the affair at issue,
and in quiet way are discussing the
question as TO whether or not man
will be able to ny. Many Of the
learned professors insist that, as man
has by the help of machinery been able
to propel himself through the water,
there Is no reason why he should not
conquer the air in the same manner.
But many more OF the professors shake
their heads IN solemn negation when
this argument Is advanced.
Still the Scotch inventors success
has created an impression. His fly
ing machine Is cigar shaped, some GO
feet in length and 42 feet in diameter
It's wings work exactly like those of
bird by the aid Of q propeller worked
by electricity, and the passenger Is
carried justa as an eagle carries its prey.
II is peculiar affair, but has been
more siiccessful than anything OF its
kind, and hence the arguments among
the scientific professors. Most OF these
professors believe that man will be
able to fly by mechanism only when
that mechanism is made after that oi
the bird. One of these learned men
discussing the matter the other day
expressed this opinion. He said thai
from the earliest time tho dominant
wish Of man mad beGa 10 ily after the
manner and method of the bird

Peculiar Form of Eni,epsv.

Professor Charcot, in lecturing in
Paris recently, illustrated his remarks
on a special variety of epilepsy by ex-
hibiting a patient who, after having
made numerous excursions to Paris,
started about o'clock in the evening,
in an excess of 'ambulatory automa-
tism," and walked thus for ten days
When he awoke he was on a bridge
in town which lae did not know. It
was in Brest, where he had arrived
during his access. NJ. Charcot also
cited an example of an analogous case
which declared itself after fall. It
was that of porter who was epileptic,
and who, after this accident, was seiz-
ed with a similar access and travelled
during eight days without stopping
and without consciousness = New
