Remarkable success is said to have
been attained with new process for
preserving timber lately introduced
in England, The agent employed is
melted naphthaline, contained in a
tank, in which the timber is i'm

little below, and is evenly maintained,
the heat being derived from steam
pipes, passing through the tank.

HORRIBLE SuEEERINGS.


Lepers Uevoured by Bears In the Forests
of Siberia.
The world does not contain in its
broad area scene of more desolatlon
and suffering than may be met with
In the forests OF Siberia. Last year
the region extending from Yakoutsk
to Villewisk was visited by Miss Kate
Marsden, member of the Kings
Daughters, an American association.
She rode for over 1000 miles through
the woods and visited several small
leper colonies. The inhabitants Of
the Province Of Villewisk are chiefly
YakoutS, writes Miss Marsden They
live in little communes, republics in
themselves. They compel all who are
lepers or who have come IN contact
with lepers to live in the forest in
small huts far apart from human
habitatiOn Sometimes they live for
gears; at other times they die speed
lily of DriVati0n or are devoured hy
bears with which the forest abounds
In this region there are four months
OF summer and eight months of win
ter and the lepers suffer incredibly.
Miss Marsden frequently came upon
solitary lepers living in the rudest of
huts. The food in many cases was
decayed fish and the bark Of trees.
The object OF Miss Marsden'S visit
was to establish leper settlement,
where the hapless victims of the
dread disease would be properly
cared for, and she is now raising
funds for that purpose.

A ~; ssff2&- WA 4 AmR9Ns.,

ny has recently investigated tho
latest Of mathematical prodigies,
!. Jacques maud by name, and . writ
VI In the Revue des Deux Mondes
-pifefs an interesting account Of the
.rase maud, who is now rs years
old, is Of poor family, and his child
hood was spent in taking care of
sheep. His extraordinary mathe-
NAUTICAL genius showed itself when
be was years old. His older broth
er had taught him TO count, but SO
far as is known did not teach him
the multiplication table. At that
time neither of the boys could read.
Within year Jacques could multi
ply In his head numbers containing
I've figures each.
The older brother soon left home
On barrel-organ trip, and Jacques
accompanied him, to collect the pen
uies and exhibit his skill at figures.
Not long afterward Snowman en-
gagged him, and he made his first
appearance in Paris.
His wonderful performances are in
addition, subtraction, multiplication.
division, and the extraction of roots.
When a problem Is given to him
he listens, repeats it, says, Il begin, y
tails to muttering rapidly to himself,
and presently says, Il am done" and
s. announces the result.
While he is engaged In the calcu,
alton nothing disturbs him, and he
will answer questions and even carry
IN conversation during the process
that is to say, while he is multiply
ing in his head eight figures by eight
figures, or reckoning the number OF
seconds In given term of years,
months, days, and hoursl In the
same way he viii add in few sec
onds seven numbers Of eight or ten
figures each, or extract the sixth or
seventh root.
M, Blnet, the writer OF the Revue
article, believes that the case fur
nishes strong confirmation Of the
theory Of partial memories"
rles, that is, for particular classes OF
objects Inaudi will repeat after
you twenty-five figures, while an or
binary man could not repeat more
than from seven TO ten. II letters
are given to Inaudi, however, he cam
not repeat more than seven or eight.
1t Is believed further that his case
indicates the fact that there is such
q thing as an "auditiye" as well as a
"yisualizing" memory. Most mathe-
NAUTICAL prodigies have professed to
see, mentally, the figures with which
they had to do, while Inaudi invari-
ably declares that he does not see,
but hears them. This goes with his
habit Of whispering or muttering to
himself during the operations, and il
has been noticed that If he tries not
to whisper he is much longer in
reaching his result.
At some time since he was 13 years
old Inaudi has learned to read and
write, but even now, we are told, his
education in many respects Is only
rudimentary

One of Natures mysterious laws
causes soft iron to become magnetic
when surrounded by current Of
electricity. In the ordinary dynamo
this law Is of the greatest utility.
As the electrical current is being
collected by the revolving armature it
is led around the magnet, and thus
the magnetic germ is quickly
changed into mighty force, again
filling the armature, which trans
forms it from magnetic to electrical
force.
