Maxim, the inventor of tho cele-
bratcd gun which bears his name.
now announces he has reason to be-
lieve from experiments made bv him
that he has solved the problem of acri-
al transportation. He expects soon to
construct flying machine Of silk, to
be driven by steam, that will nave a
speed of 100 miles an hour, aud he
makes what seems to the New York
News to be wild suggestion, that in
time of war explosives may be
dropped over an enemy's position
with destructive effect. Fancy n feet
of these monsters of the air coming
together a milo or two above terra
firma and engaging in mortal COM
bat" exclaims the News.

The small town Of Mount Ebal.
in Indiana, has been suffering from a
remarkable epidemic. Three strange
women, credited with hypnotic
powers, are said to have placed the
whole community under control. For
several weeks the village church was
the scene of wild, dervish-like dances,
from which the victims passed into
deep frances Of many hours duration.
An authentic account describes these
frances as resembling death, with the
motion of the heart SO faint as TO be
almost imperccptible. The strangers,
aged respectively sixty, twenty-five
and eighteen, are the posscssors of un-
doubted hypnotic powers. Tho trance
phenomena, with the accompanying
arrest of circulation Snd respiration,
are the common characteristics Of
catalepsy. The methods of the hypno-
Tiers included tho singing of hymns
and religious exhortation, aud the
people regarded their tricks as
miracles. The spread of tho craze
is said to have been alarming, and dis
tinct injury was wrought to the mind
and body of susceptible subjects. This
case, asserts the New York Tribune,
would como under tho head of the
"pernicious demonstration" punish
able in countries like Belgium with
heavy penalties. II would be curious
if the Mount Ebal case should lead to
an agitation in Indiana against pro.
miscuous mesmerizing.

The vivid and stupendous process
cess in modern iron working, with
their remarkable capabilities of repre-
sentation on canvas, have been avaiIed
of, it appears, in most attractive
manner by German artist, Adolf
Menzcl. In great picture, the
'"Cyclop's Workshop" there is rep
resented the interior of large iron
foundry, with its giant steam hammer,
its blast and pudding furnaces, and
its huge cylinders, that roll out glow
ing masses of iron of vast
weight as if they were but soft paste
One of these glowing masses forms
the center around which the intcrc at
of Menzels picture moves. 1t has
passed through the first rollers and is
being taken up with great tongs by
the foremost workmcn in order to be
passed on to the second, proceeding
that involves a prodigious exertion Of
strength. Other workmen are en-
ploycd in different processes-somc
directing the machinery, one in the
foreground wheeling away n newly
forged cylinder Oh barrow, othors
are undergoing very necessary pro-
cess of publication and shirt changing,
while others again are seen in group
ih the background, already beginning
their midday meal; and in the back
ground of all is dimly visible the iron
and steam monster that supplies the
motive force for all this wonderful
work.

The New York man who succeeded
In moving a railroad car weighing
So, 900 pounds is certainly worthy, ad-
mits the San Francisco Chronicle, of
the title of "the modern Ajax" OF
course there is much in the knowledge
of how TO utilize ones strength in such
a feat, but the fact that eight men
failed to do what he accomplished
proves that he is a fellow who should
have lived in medieval times, when
physical prowess was the stepping
stone to wealth and honor Nowadays
1t means nothing more than preca-
rious living as a dime museum freak.

The ravages of "la grippe" in one
month are strikingly shown by the re-
port of the New York State Board Of
Health. No less than 13, ,9Sl deaths
occurred in April in the State Of New
York, which would be an annual
death-rato Of 80 per 1000. or the
total number of deaths, from 45O0 to
5000 are attributed to the widely prev
alent influenza. In January of last
year, when the grip was at its height
for that season, the victims of il num-
bered about 1000 less. The average
daily mortality in the State was 46S,
by far the largest ever recorded.
These figures prove conclusively that
the grip was no product of the imagi-
nation, as some people thought was
tho case two or three months ago. 1t
is O disease of alarming possibilities.

THE "pigskin" which is used in South
American countries for holding the flu
ids, is usually the skin ofa living sheep
that is, it is stripped from the animal
before the animal is killed This cruel
process is thus described. The sheep
is tied to q stake, and careful slit is
made down the middle and around the
neck, without cutting the flesh. Hooks
are then fastened to the loosened skin,
and it is slowly drawn off to the tail.
The poor animals cries of agony during
this atrocious proceeding would touch
the heart of even a savage, but the Pc.
ruvians, who originated it, seem to de-
light in it. They assert that the skin
taken from a living animal is more
durable and flexible than if the poor
beast we're first mercifully killed.

In the ReUue THygjene, M. Bourri-
er, inspector of meat for the city of
Paris, describes his experience with
meat impregnated with tobacco smoke.
Some thin slices of beef were exposed
for a considerable time to the fumes Of
tobacco, and afterward offered to dog
which had been deprived of food for
twelve hours. The dog, after smelling
the meat, refused to eat it. Some OF
the meat was then cut into small pieces
and concealed within bread. This the
dog ate with avidity, but in twenty
minutes commenced to display the
most distressing symptoms and soon
died in great agony. All sorts OF
meat, both raw and cooked, some
grilled, roasted and broiled, we're ex-
posed to tobacco smoke and then given
to animals, in all cases producing
symptoms of acute poisoning. Even
the process OF boiling could not extract
from the meat the nicotine poison.

The newest envelope in Europe is
devised with sufficient cleverness to
make us wonder. observes the New
Orleans Picayune, that any one but
all American should have thought of
it, The flap is squre!y cut of at the
end and folds down SO as to gum itself
close to the bottom of the envelope.
1t is creased above the line of gum
and when the top of the envelope is
torn or cut open the flap falls down
and displays au advertisement that
has been printed on the under side.

A BooKKEEPER in q Wall street
banking house has made the discovery
that ink stains can readily be removed
from the fingers with the head of a
parlor match. Moisten the ink stain
ed spot and rub it gently with the
head OF the match, keeping the skin
wet so that it will not be burned.
Tho stain rapidly disappears. The
match should not be used where there
is cut. Violet ink stains can often
be removed by rubbing them with n
rough woolen cloth. A coat sleeve
answers very well.

Small farms arc the rule in Sweden,
and the Swedish peasant usually
owns the soil he tills. Over two
thirds of the farms are between five
and fifty acres in extent, and more
than twenty-three per cent are little
homesteads of less than five acres.
Oats is the great staple crop. and is
largely exported, rye and barley being
chiefly used for home consumption,
especially rye. Young pigs are sold
for high prices in England, and sides
of American pork bought at cheap
rates. Rye ripens up to sixty-nine de-
grees north latitude, and barely and
oats up to seventy degrees, or on a
parallel above the mouth of Hudson
Bay. - American Agriculturist.

BIOLOGISTS have proved that the
diamond mines of South Africa are
situated in vents or chimneys, varying
from about seventy feet to l,50O feet
in diameter, and descending vertically
through the schists which form the or
dinary strata of the district. These
vents are filled up with fragments OF
silicated and magnetism rocks, in
which the diamonds are scattered, and
before the diggings began each was
capped by hillock, or "kopje." "
They are seventeen in number, and
-un in straight line about 100 miles.
