The bricks serve as double win
dows, giving protection against
both cold and heat; they are good
insulators of humidity and noise;
and they lend themselves readily to
the decoration of buildings either
by their form or their color. Many
applications are foreseen. The
bricks are neater than marble in
meat markets, and are especially
adapted for bath halls, lighthouses,
hospitals, refrigerating establish
ments, and buildings in which abb
sence of windows would be an adj
vantage. A dollhouse of glass
bricks is of about ordinary cost,
saves fuel, and resists hail.
DUALITY OF THE MIND.-The idea
is held by DIR. B. w. Richardson
that the two lobes of the cerebrum
give every person two distinct
brains; and that any congregation
of human beings must be reckoned
at twice its individual number be-
fore it's mental constitution and
strength can be properly appraised.
The two brains are never exactly
balanced. They sometimes work
together, sometimes diversely; and
when one is disordered there may
be tendencies to insanity, with lucid
intervals if the other is sound
Complete change of personality
may result from weakening the
stronger or strengthening the weak
er.

VOLCANOES OF THE UNITED STATES
Excluding Alaska, the United
States may be said to be non-vol-
canic, states Mr.. Ralph S. Tarr, but
it has not been so long. A chain of
volcanoes extends from Southern
South America into Mexico, then
there is large break, and the inter
rupted chain begins again in Alas
ka, curves southwark, and joins the
chain of Japan. The intermediate
non-volcanic area has just emerged
from an era of stupendous activity.
Future resumption of such activity
is not improbable, for in the West
are volcanoes so recent as, like Mt.
Shasta, to retain their cOnical form,
and some of these perhaps are no
more dormant than was Vesuvius
before the fateful year 70, when it
buried Pompeii and Herculaneum
beneath the most terrible storm of
stones and ashes ever known to
man. In the Canon of the Colo
RADIO, in the desert of Nevada and
Utah, and in New Mexico, exists
small lava flows that must have
been erupted in very recent years,
probably since the white mans dis
covery of the continent These
seem to record the death throes of
the country's latest volcanic giants.
The eruptions have played a part i'll
bringing up stores of metals, and
the richest mines are found in the
volcanic districts of Tertiary times.
A NEW ELECTRIC CLoCK.-The
General Electric Company of Berlin
proposes to adopt the new clock OF
Herr Won Hefner-Alteneck; which
may be placed in the same circuit
with incandescent lamps, and is
claimed to solve the problem of
providing an inexpensive, yet eff
fective system of controlling clocks
electrically. The current keeps the
clock wound at an annual cost not
exceeding that of one 16-candle
lamp lighted for ten hours-per-
haps eight or ten cents. Should the
circuit be broken, the clock will run
without the current about twelve
hours. The control can be oper-
ated by hand from the dynamo-room
or automatically from an observa-
tory, and consists of a momentary
lowering of the circuit potential by
six to ten volts once every twenty
four hours, the effect being to set
all clocks in the circuit exactly to-
gether. The lamps are not sppre-
ciably aft cted.
GLASS BRICKs.-Experiments with
glass building bricks were begun
in 1891 by NJ. Falconier, an architect
of Lyons. These bricks are hollow,
being blown like bottles, and are
given forms-such as cubes, hexa-
CONS, etc.,-that permit of ready lay
ing. A bituminous cement, with a

A REMARKABLE EXPERIMENT.
The novel electroscope of Mr.. f. c.
Remington, an English electrician,
is especially interesting on account
of its generation of light by small
mechanical effort. A T-shaped tube
about five inches long, with about
the bore of spirit thermometer. and
terminating in two bulbs, has its
air exhausted by an air-puinp. and
is then rotated between the finger
and thumb; or by a small motor.
On bringing a rubbed ebonite or
glass rod near, a sort of double fam
shaped image of light appears in
the tube.

VALUE OF HANDS AND FINGERS.

20 to so per cent, varying with occu-
patton; left hand, 90 to 20 per cent;
thumb, 20 to 30 per cent; right fore

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
DIR. Hugh ID. Wood of Angola Threatened
with Prosecution.


DIR. Hugh ID. Wood of Angola Threatened
with Prosecution.
ANGOLA. Feb. Especial. ]-Charges
have been preferred before the Steuben
county medical society against DR.. Hugh
ID. Wood of Angola, charging him with
conduct unbecoming q member OF that
society in performing an operation on
Jennie Stowe of Metz, a small town ad-
iacent to Angola. thereby causing the
death of the girl and her unborn child
some time last December.
The girl. it lie alleged. underwent an
operation ct the hands OF DR.. Wood, which
resulted in death. The physician denies
that he had anything to DO with the case
whatever. Fee ing runs Fery high in the
little town, and IL IS asserted that the
president of the society, having been
student OF the accused. has appointed a
committee that is favorable to him to
investigate bis conduct so that their
report will whitewash DIR. Wood and that
his acquittal before tins society will he
used to prevent the matter going into the
hands OF the grand jury. which meets
soon. The evidence before the post
mortem held on the dead girls remains,
connected Dr. Wood very closely with her
death. Two witnesses testified that they
had accompanied the girl to the doctors
office when the abortion was performed,
and two other Witnesses, physicians, took
the girls statement just prior to her
death.
Dr. Wood is prominent in medical
circles. being lecturer in medical col
lese in this city and prominently men
toned for president OF the Indiana state
medical society.
