SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Gum chewers' paralysis is the latest
form of professional neurosis recorded in
medical literature.
The new telescope for the Harvard OBJ
servatory has been completed and will be
used for photographing stars.
Some interesting experiments have
lately been undertaken at Cherbourg,
France, to ascertain the possibility of tele-
phoning between topedo boats and the
admiral's ship, so that orders can be
given direct.
The smokeless powder intended for
use in the Austrian army is now declared
to be perfect. Beside the initial advan.
tage of being smokeless, it is said to give
a velocity some twenty per cent. greater
than that of ordinary powder.
A German scientist wishes TO deter
mine by means of photography if the
moon is inhabited, and it is said that the
King of Wurtemberg has decided, in
order to solve this interesting problem,
to cause to be made, in the best possible
condition, photographs of the moon;

easily to write cuneiform as rapidly as
German with such a stylus.
1t is calculated that a range of mount
aims consisting of 176 cubic miles of
solid rock falling into the sun would
only maintain the heat for a single sec
ond. A mass equal to that of the earth
would maintain the heat for only ninety
three years, and a mass equal to that of
the sun itself falling into the sun would
afford 33, 600, 600 years of sun heat.
Professor Hirschberg declares in a
Viennese medical paper that Professor
Ebers, the well-known novelist, has
rendered great service to medical sci
ence by the discovery, translation and re-
production in facsimile of part of val
liable MS. containing medical recipes

years before Christ. The portion trans
lated and annotated by Ebers treats OF
diseases of the eye. 1t is the oldest med
cal treatise now known.
A peculiar tendency in idiots to imper'
fections and disease in the teeth has beer
noticed by several physicians; and it has
been studied by Madame Soll!er in a hun
dred cases of idiots taken at random
The multiplicity and variety of the den
tai lessons were remarkable; and the con
clusion has been drawn that idiocy, will
or without epilepsy, predisposes to arrest
of development and to anomalies of denti
ton. The effect rarely appears in tn
first teeth, however, but almost wholly Il
the second.

swIFT's SPECIFIC is a simple vege-
table compound prepared from roots fresh
iy gathered from the forests. The formula
was obtained from the Creek Indians by
the whites who had witnessed the won
derful cures of blood diseases made by
that tribe. 1t has been used since 1929,
and has been the greatest blessing toman-
kind in curing diseases of the blood, in
many instances after all other remedies
had failed.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
rHn co1on on sowEp coRN.

In passing any piece Of sowed corn late
in the growing season, it is easy to see
what will and what will not make good
feed. That which has been thickly
sown, especially on poor soil, is light
yellow color, tasteless, and nearly voiG of
nutritive value. That sown in drills and
cultivated once or twice, is large, thick
stemmed and dark green in color. Taste
it and you find the sweetness that with a
little more room and time would be
transformed into the starch of the per-
fected grain.

TuRN1rs AND POTATOES FOR POULTRY.

According to p. II. Jacobs, pc lltry
authority, young chicks are partial to po1
tatoes, and adult fowls also eat them
readily. Save all the small and unmar-
ketable potatoes and boil them for the
hens 1t is not necessary to mash them,
as the hens know how to eat them with
out assistance. Turnips also make cheap
food for poultry, especially ducks, and
will pay as crop for feeding in that
manner. The most successful breeders
of ducks use turnips, cooked and thick
ened with bran, for drcklings, and serve
as very satisfactory diet for geese in
winter. But little grain is necessary il
poultry are well supplied with cooked
oats

A Dog That showed Sense.

A little crowd of seedy men, says the
New York Tribune, were gathered the
other night about one of the ugly fur
naces that defaced City Hall Park, while
the contractors were covering the plaza
with asphaltum. They were warming
their bodies in the taTry smoke that
streamed out of it, and had deserted the
seats under the trees where they had
slept most of the summer.
~ saw a queer thing happen here yes
terday," said one of them. "a big New
foundland dog, with a muzzle on him,
was following a boy along Mail street,
when little bull terrier made a dash for
him and got a death grip on one of the
bic fellows ears. IL was all done 50
quick that the Newfoundland was being
well chewed before he knew what struck
him. lie gave a howl and snap at the
little brute, but his muzzle would not
allow him to open his jaws, and the bul
terrier chewed away like mad. All h'
could do was to turn tail and run, bu
the TERROR did not loose his grip anC
went along, too. They dashed through
the crowd, passed the fountain, and ou
on the plaza here, where the big fellow
nearly ran over a pail Of smoking hot ta
that was standing for a moment by tn
side Of workman, who had stepped t
light his pipe.
"Quick as a flash the big dog stopped
aud threw his head as high in the air a

well off his feet, and nearly tore the ca

Christopher c. Andel is the father of
the smallest mite of humanity in New
Haven, and, in all probability, in Con
necticut. His only child is baby boy
that, when it was seventeen days old,
weighed two pounds and five ounces.
The boy was then eleven inches long,
but very thin. His arm was then about
twice as thick as the stem of clay pipe,
and his fingers were so slender 1t was
difficult to institute a comparison.

FireproOf Wood.

The recent discovery by a New Eng
land chemist OF cheap method OF dis
solving zinc by combining It with by
drogen is regarded as most valuable
one. The product is solution called
zinc water, and has the property Of max.
ing wood to which it has been applied
absolutely flreproof, and at very low
cost. This discovery is likely to revolu'
tionize fire insurance, as well as to inn
mensely decrease the loss by fire.

some interest therein, especially on
account of very long acquaintance
with Hon. VIM. s. Keech, We have
known him the greater part OF orr

joining his. He has led very hon
orable and prudent life, has always
been hard working, industrious
man. His ability is unquestioned
and he is all honor and credit to
Baltimore county. Without saying
a word disrespectfLl of his oppc

some good work or him and join
the good citizens a. the old home in
giving him a solid vote and a rous-

won honorable and high distinction,
and knowing that he can perform the
duty with unquestioned ability and
great credit to himself and State, we
believe if offered to him, he should
accept it and it would be right and
proper for the President to make so
good and popular selection.

The post Office authorities of the
United States have taught the intol-
Grant democrats of Luyerue, Ala, a
salutary lesson. A colored man was
appointed postmaster at Luverne
sometime ago. Ever since his APP
pointment the new official has had
10 contend against democratic insult
and abuse. The other day a demo
cratic mob burned down the post
Office as a mark of their contempt
for the new postmaster. When the
news of this outrage reached the post
office authorities they at once issued
an der diCcontinuing the post Office
at Luverne. The bigoted Luyerne
democrats will have to go elsewhere
for their mail after this.
