POPULAR SCIENCE NOTES.

NJ. Damcny has taken successive pho
tographs of the lips of q speaker, SO that
on arranging them a deaf mute able to
read from the motion of the lips can W.
| derstand them.
The influence of forests in protecting
the water supply is well illustrated in
the case of Greece. In ancient days she
possessed 1900, 600 acres of forest. To-
day she has hardly 1900, 900 acres, and
the scarcity of water ana other injurious
climatic effects are traccablc to the de-
struction of the trees.
In the opinion of Prof. Houston, we
may not unrcasonably expect future
progress to present these five features:
electricity produced direct from coal, the
steam engine entirely replaced by the
electric motor, aerial navi gation effected,
production of light without heat, and
the application of electricity to the cur
ing of disease and prolonging of life.
A lamp may be lighted with piece of
ice A small piece of metallic potassium
is laid on the wick and touched with the
ice, when the water Immediately pro-
duces flame. This is due to the proper
ty of this metal to oxidize with exceed
ing rapidity on contact with water This
curious experiment is to be made with
great caution us if too much of the po-
tassium is used an explosion will take
place.
Plans have just been completed for the
construction of another great irrigating
canal with reservoirs in Arizona, in the
Santa Cruz valley, and when it is com
pleted 3OO.O 900 more acres of the great
American desert will be supplying the
finest kinds of fruit and grains and other
products for the eastern markets. The
canal will be seventy miles long and
thirty feet wide at the bottom, and the
construction of the works will cost about

TIE OPERA BY TELEPHONE.-Dur
the last two years, the Thcatrophone
Company has developed in Paris ser
vice that is quite remarkable. The com
pany now has installed in the city 100
thcatrophoncs, which are distributed on
eleven lines in the large hotels, rcstau-
rants, theatre vestibulcs, etc. In addi-
ton to this, certain number of sub
scribers are regularly served by their
private telephones. On placing a so
centime piece in the slot of one of the
theatrophoncs, any person can listen for
five minutes to a performance named in
wicket in front of the apparatus. Should
an intermission occur, the auditor is at
once placed in communication with an
other stage. The operator at the central
station responds to signals given by the
thcatrophoncs by making connection with
the desired theatres, the switchboard
being in no material respect different
from those in use for telephones. At
each of the theatres is a secondary sta
ton, connected with a series of micro
phones on the stage.

MAD ABOUT SNAKES.
Farmers Curious Mania for Butcher
Ing the Rcp,i!cs.


There lives in Sussex County, New
Jersey q farmer, Richard Cook, who is
mad en- the subject Of snakes. He had
married Mary Brown, AMI vas living
happily and uneyentfully until 1881. In
August Of that year his wife was bitten
by q pilot snake. Cook filled her up
with whisky and tried all tho simple
remedies OF New Jersey, but without
avail, and che died in the following FEB
ruary. From that time Cooks mono
mania has develo ped, and his enc pleas
IRE is TO hunt for the reptiles and Xiii
them. 10 locates the de1s OF tho
snakes in the mountains and on warm
days, when the creatures lie IN the sun,
he goes with his gun ard kills dts he
can. lie tried blowing up tho holes IN
the rocks where the snatcs 1.-Two with
giant powder. but as the explosions
shook the earth and uHrootel trees, he
was begged to dcsist.
This spring he conceived a new idea.
1t was this: lie couldn't get along with
out killing snakes, and he couldn't al
ford to stop his work on his farm every
day for the purpose Of going out IN the
woods anl clubbing Or shooting the life
out of the I ptir@s which infest the
neighbour 90. So before the warm
weather camo he bought some pipes,
which he put in the creviccs Of tho rock.
The pipe led to barrel, the top Of
which was covered with wire netting.
In the bottom of the barrel was put
lot 0? plump frogs to entice the snakes.
From this barrel there was another pipe,
which led to a barrel lower down, and
from the second barrel another ripe led
TO q GOx. There was no chance for Il
snake to get ont again once he got into
the maze OF pipes shat Farmer Cook
had laid. His idea was TO allow the
snakes to trap themselves while he was
looking after the planting Of cabbagos,
beets, onions. and other truck. Then
he could visit tho den when the snake
killing mania overlook him, dump the
box out upon the ground. and slaughter
to his hearts content. 1t was great
scheme, and it worked to perfection.
Within the first twenty-four hours after
the trap was set he killed 100 snakes.
The second day the plastering about the
mouth of his cavo broke away, and
there wcro few dozen snakes lying
around loose on tho rocks. He picked
up club as thick as his arm and sailed
in. The battle lasted few minutes,
and he won.

On the Sargasso Sea.

The Sargasso Sea, or floating masses
of gulf weed in mid-Atlantic, which i'm
peded the ships of Columbus 400 years
ago, according to the London Globe, has
been the subject of careful study by DR..
Krummel, German mareographer, who
takes different view of its origin from
that commonly accepted. He shows, to
begin with, that the sea is much more
extensive than Humboldt supposed. The
middle or thickest part is elliptical in
form, the great axis lying along the
Tropic of Cancer and the foci at forty
five degrees and seventy degrees west
longitude. Around this are more extern
sive but thinner accumulations of the
weed, which vary with the prevailing
winds.
The gulf weed, which, with its little
round "berries,' is not unlike the mis-
tletoe in form, but Of brownish- yellow
color, has been thought to have lost its
property of roofing on rocks and to have
acquired the power of living atloat. 1t
has even been suggested that the sea
marks the site of a submerged continent,
apparently the lost Atlantis. DR.. Krum-
mel holds that the weed has simply been
drifted to its present position by the
Gulf Stream and its atfiuents from the
West Indian Islands and the Gulf of
Mexico. 1t is now proved that the Gulf
stream is not a single narrow ''river of
the ocean," as Maury POLITICALLY described
it, but consists of number of currents,
not only from the Mexican Gulf, but the
Antilles. The weed, according to DR..
Krummel, would take fifteen days to
float as far north as the latitude of Cape
Hatteras and five and half months to
reach the Azores. In the Sargasso Sea
it becomes heavy and sinks; but the sup
ply is kept up by the Gulf stream. DR..
Krummel is certainly right in giving the
Sargasso Sea a much wider area than
Humboldt did and than our maps usually
portray. 1t has been encountered some
two or three hundred miles northeast of
Barbados; but whether the weed is
solely carried from the West Indies and
the Gulf is perhaps open to doubt.-lst.

an ingenious application of the associa-
of his system he enabled us to learn ut
once the exceptions to the rule in Latin
grammar and the troublesome forms of
irregular French verbs. This reminds
me that | have heard a rather peculiar
explanation of the phenomena of
memory. Some time ago q lens maker
made specimen of microscopic writing
on glass. He wrote the Lords prayer
on rectangular space measuring 1874
by 1-441 of M inch. At this rate he
could photograph the Bible eight times
on a square inch. 1t has been claimed
that a physical basis of memory may
exist in permanent structural modifica
ton of the brain matter constituting the
surface of the burrows. In a highly
developed brain this surface amounts, to
$40 square inches, and it would appear,
according to this theory, that the entire
memories of lifetime might be written
out in the English language on such a
surface in characters such as the lens
maker wrote on glass"

persons and places. IL know man in
MorriStown, n. j., who has a hen with
a good memory. When she was a chicken
the boy of the family named her Mary
and allowed her to follow him into the
kitchen to get crumbs of bread and cake.
The boy was away from home at school
year, and the chicken was SO plainly
shown that she was not wanted in the
house that she had given up going for
the crumbs When the boy came home
Mary was full-grown hen but evidently
remembered him, for she followed him
around and often lodged into the
kitchen after him.
81 have also heard of a lobster that
had a very good imitation of memory.
1t tried to get its claws into the half
opened shell of an oyster, but the oyster
always closed in time to save itself. The
lobster finally seized a thin stone, quickly
pushed it into the cautiously opened
shell and dcvourcd the oyster. Every
one, of course, knows of horses and dogs

a Phantom Tight.

The Indians of INDIAN Territory are
very much disturbed, saying some great
evil is about to befall them, because the
sounds OF the phantom fight have been
heard. In the territory lies secluded
valley filled with graves and tradition,
coming down through many years, says
that those are graves OF warriors who
once met there in deadly battle. The
curious thing about the present excite
ment Is that 1t Is directly due to Deputy
United States Marshal John Willis, who
had never previously heard Of tho ira
dtion. He was beIated one night and
determined to encamp in the haunted
valley. After some hours sleep he was
awakened by his horse showing every
symptom of extreme fear. 1t was bright
moonlight, yot he could see nothing.
Notwithstanding, all around him there
seemed to be an invisible host Of men,
some on horseback and some on foot,
and these men appeared to be in deadly
conflict. The noise Of the trampling
hoofs and rushing men could be plainly
distinguished, while blows wero struck
so forcihly that the sound could be dis
tinctly heard. Back ward and forward
the battle of ghosts seemed to rage for
over an hour. His horse continued It's
frantic efforts to escape, and at last
Willis was compelled to saddle the ami
nal and get away from the valley. just
as he got beyond the confines Of tho
valley all sounds ceased and he was
tempted TO turn back, but just as he
AGAIN entered the valley the war began
again. lie told his story to the Indians,
and then the story OF the phantom tribe

Mrs. CARRIE HOLMES, of Kincaid
Mo-, and her gun appeared on the scene
the other day quite in time. A book
agent who was canyassing the neighbour
| hood undertook to cross a field where ar
ugly bull was kept and the animal at
| tackled him. The agent ran and the bull
ran, and the latter being the tlcetcr was
about to toss him, when the man STUN
blcd and fell hcadlong, the bull charging
some distance past him. The bull re-
covered himself and turned. and was
about to put the finishing touches on his
victim when Mrs Holmes rifle cracked
and brought the beast down.
A STRANGE story comes from Seymour,
Ind. Some siXty-four years ago Thomas
Carr settled on farm near there and one
of the first things that he did was to
plant an apple orchard. Two little trees
he gave to his two sons, who set them
out aAd nurturcd them, and they grew
to be fine trees, and each was known by
the name Of its owner. IN 1877 the elder
son died and the same day his tree fell.
A few days ago his brother, Colonel
George w. Carr, died, and within an
hour his tree broke off at the roots and
fell to the ground.
THERE is volcanic lake on the road
from Irkutck to Kiakhta, the frontier
town Of the Chinese Empire, where the
cold is SO terrible in winter that when a
hurricane stirs the waters the waves often
freeze as waves, remaining in hulnmocks
above the surface. 1t has an average
depth of over a mile, and when frozen in
a placid state the ice formed is so clear
and coIOrlcSs and yet so thick that when
crossing it one gets the impression of
passing over space.
DURING a recent hailstorm in Connec-
ticut some guests on the hotel vcranda
were swapping yarns about large hail
stones they had seen, when a small boy
stole chunk of ice from the refrigerator
and hurled it into the air, so that it fell
just in front of them. The monster
''hailstonc' weighed three pounds and
was the sensation of the neighborhood
until the joke was exploded.
In China one can always borrow money
on the strength of having q son, but no.
body would advance him cent if he
had dozen daughters. The former is
responsible for the debt of his father for
three generations. The latter is only re-
sponsible for the debts of her own hus-
band
IT IS not often that asparagus is used
as food for cattle, but the asparagus crop
was so large all over Brunswick this year
that in some villages nobody could be
found to pay a hafpcnny for a pound,
and whole baskctfuls were given to the
COWS and sheep.
JOHN TULE is huckstcr at Scranton,
