as 'Dr. Pill" a quack doctor, sustained

very true to nature; Albert Weydsrt, as

THE RESULT OF SCIENCE.

Metal ties for railroads are proving very
satisfactory.
An immense fume, four and one half
miles long, Is to be butt at Spokane. The
pipe is to be made Of steel and will be
twenty-five inches In diameter.
It is proposed to reduce cows milk to
dry powder, as being better for trans
portation and superior to condensed milk.
The idea originated in Switzerland.
French engineers propose ascending the
Jungfrau by succession Of slanting roads,
forming zigzag to the height of some
$4,000 feet, landing nearly at the summit
Of the mountain.
There has lately been q plague of To-
Gusts in the province of Gizele, Egypt. In
five days the authorities destroyed six
tons of them. Exposure to the sun is said
to be fatal to their eggs.
Experiments with the %, 600 candle
power search lamps show that vessels
three miles Off can readily be detected, and
that, by throwing the light on the clouds,
signaling is possible at distance OF fifty
miles.
Sending pictures by telegraph lie one of
the latest inventions. The salient points
of the picture are established by previ-
ously agreed upon system of co-ordinances,
and the details are filed by tive descriptive
words added.
A very ingenious electric device has
lately been patented by which the hands of
a clock set to a certain hour are made to
complete an electric current connected
with the kitchen stove so that the fire is
started when the given hour arrives.
The Paris academy is in receipt of infor-
nation relating to prehistoric remains
found in southern France. Two skulls
have recently been dug up bearing every
evidence Of belonging to the Aryan race,
and some human bones that from their
proportions must have belonged to a man
ten feet in height.
A rare phenomena is reported from st.
Malo. Recently during the afternoon, be-
tween and 5 o'clock, three suns were
seen all in a row little above the western
horizon. The real sun, which was in the
center, shone with unwonted briliancy,
while from its supporters darted rays Of
prismitic colors.
In London specimens of Mexican dry
moss were shown before the botanical So
ciety that were green and fourishing, al
though they had been shut up for three
months in a dry place. These plants are
said to have the power of rolling up in a
ball when dry and becoming apparently
dead, only to bloom again, however, when
exposed to moisture.
A singular case of ''mind blindness re-
| Gently occurred, the subject being a man

his inability to find his way about, to tell
his own position in a room, and to recog-
nize objects, although his perception of
light was scarcely impaired. Although he
could not recognize objects by looking at
them, he at once perceived and named
them by means of tactile or auditory inn
