A PECULIAR POWER.
The Mysterious Force Possessed by Bal
timore Youth.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec 5-Louis, the 16-
year-old son of Phillip Hamburger, is pos
sessed of mysterious power which is puz-
zling scientific men. This power enables
him to make objects of considerable
weight adhere to his finger tips, contact
only being necessary. Both hands have
the same remarkable power, though the
right one does the better work.
The tips or the fingers, which are more
than usually leshy, are capable of the
greatest feats. He touched his finger
against glass tube three-fourths of an
inch in diameter, and they stuck with
such force that as he pulled them away
from it, one after another, there was
click. The end of the tube thus
raised was freighted with plaster
OF Paris block, and on this
were gradually piled leaden weights until
So pounds were reached. This he was
able TO raise with the open palms.
The young man loses control of his Sc
cret force when the objects become very
damp by perspiration Or otherwise and
can only show its action on very smooth
bodies. Prof. William Simon. of the
Maryland College of Pharmacy, has de-
veloped whatever strength and remark
able powers the young man displays from
the very smallest beginnings. At present
he is engaged in experimenting with him
in scientific manner in order to present
the case 10 the public in a technical jour

murderer of Policeman Brennan swung
into the air, a dangling limp mass of al
most lifeless humanity. Though the con-
demned man looked pale, he maintained
that steady nerve he has all along dis
played. There was no evidence OF bun
CLING and the sheriff expressed himself as
satisfied.
The crime for which Carlton paid the
penalty was cold-blooded. heartless and
cowardly to the extreme. 1t occurred on
Sunday morning, October %, 1885 His
victim WAS James Brennan, policeman
attached to the Thirty-fifth street
station house. In company with
two young toughs, named Eddie
O'Hearn aud Youle Bourke, Carlton en-
tered saloon. 1t was early in the morn
ing A short time before Julius Rosseler
a waiter, had entered the place. The three
men asked the waiter 20 treat, which be
refused to do, saving he did not know any
OF them.
Angry words followed and presently the
four Went out on the sidewalk, where
Rosseler was assaulted by Carlton and his
companions. Officer Brennan ran to the
scene of the disturbance. aud as he ap-
preached the trio took flight. Gaining Oh
the fugltlves they halted and when the
officer was within few PAGES of Carlton
the latter drew out bis pistol and fired two
shots. Both bullets struck the policeman
IN the face, and two hours later he died.
At the trial Carlton claimed he did tue

gentleman who has just escaped from
Siberia arrived here from Japan yesterday
on the British steamship Batavia. The
gentleman, who had assumed the name Of
Brant, eighteen years since was the editor
OF paper in Russia, and though not a
nihilist the liberal views he expressed
through the columns Of his paper dis
pleased the government and he was SEN
fenced to Siberia for life. Of the eighteen
years of the living death he suf-
fered there, six were endured in
solitary confinement. He was then
placed on parole for twelve years. During
that time he wandered from place to place,
and, after inconceivable suffering and pri-
walton, he drifted to the seacoast few
months since, where there was anchored
the British ship Batavia. He told the
story of his exile to the officers OF the ship.
and was taken on board and landed at
Nayasika. His new-found friends paid his
passage and presented him with ticket to
Washington, D. c., for which city he start

The little bodies called eye stones
are really portions Of the covering of
certain shelltish. They are placed at
the opening of the shell. and serve to
close the entrance when the animal
draws itself within They are of va
rious kinds, but those used as eye
stones are hard, stony bodies, about
the size of split peas. one-third to one
sixth of an inch in diameter, a little
longer than broad, having one sur
face plane, and the other convex.
When they have been worn by the
action of the sea, they are very smooth
and shining, but In their natural state
the convex surface IS covered with fine
markings. They have been a brown
ish color In the center, shading Oft to
white at the margin.
Like other shells they are composed
of carbonate of lime. When placed IN
a weak acid, sucn as vinegar, a chem
ical change takes place, carbonic acid
gas is given off, and IN its escape pro
duces the movements which are pop
ularly supposed to show that the
stone Is alive.
When one of these stones is placed
under the eyelid. at the outer corner.
the natural movements Of the lid In
winking push 1t gradually toward the
inner side, and when it comes in con
tact with the mote which is causing
the irritation, this is carried along and
finally expelled with IL
The belief that such stones have q
peculiar detective power, and move
about in the eye until they find and re
move the irritating substance for
which they have been sent" has no
foundation IN fact
Eye stones are deservedly going GU,
OF use, for they merely furnish a me
chanical means Of doing In clumsy
manner what little skill wih accom-
plish much more certainly Few OF
them, indeed, are seen at the present
day, and these are said To be brought
by sailors from the Bahamas and else
where.
It Is interesting TO know that in the
