A medical authority asserts that
post-mortem examination of the fingers
OF blind man discloses. at the tips. a
deposit identical with the gray matter
'of the brain. 1t has for years been
noted fact that blind people become
marvelously apt in detecting things
with their fingers, and this statement
gives rise to the query just what is
brain matter. and how does it act? This
authority seems inclined to the belief
that nature compensates for the loss Of
sight by transferring to the finger-tips
some Of the perceptive matter of the
brain, and this accounts for the super
sensitiveness of the touch of PEOPLE
with defective vision. Rlind persons
who perform no manual labor have
very delicate hands and fnger-tips, and
there may be some truth in the theory
Of = brain migration. 1t is quite as
plausible, however, to believe that
there are in the finger-tips latent cells
that develop when the necessity for
them presents itself. Indeed, this seems
much more likely than that there is
any actual transferenoe Of brain mat
ter from one part of the body to an
other.

sacrificed. As starting point, frame
was built of steel tubing. This was so
arranged as to permit a continuous flow
Of water. Around this frame he built
a cottage in one OF the approved styles
OF architecture and used the place as a
residence. The dwelling is situated on
a mountain slope, and water from
above the snow-line is piped through
the steel arteries. This keeps the air in
the building at a low temperature in
summer. while in the winter the water
is turned into a hot-air chamber as
soon as 1t enters the house and heated
to the required degree. Thus the house
is kept extremely cool in summer and
is as warm in winter as may be de-
sired. The temperature is perfectly reg
ulatable, and great advantages are
claimed for the system, in that it prac-
tically annihilates the discomforts Incl
dent to extreme heat and cold. 1t is also
claimed that the structure is of such
a solid character that earthquakes or
similar disturbances will have NO ap-
preciable effect on 1t. 1t is not stated
whether the continuous tubing may
attract lightning, but probably there is
no more danger of this than there
would be in the gas and water piped
residences.

The Republican Nominee.

As the time approaches for hold
ing the Republican State ConYen-
ton it becomes more apparent that
Hon. Lloyd cwndes will undoubt-
eddy secure the nomination for
Governor on the first ballot.
The eminent fitness of Mr..
Lowndes for this responsible posi-
ton is well known. The strong
hold which he has upon the affec-
tions of the people of Western Ma
ryland will be attested by the
unanimity with which they will
support his candidacy.
Allegany, Washington and Fred
erick nave already declared for him
in the Sixth District and Garrett
and Montgomery will do, likewise
when their conventions meet.
Mr.. Lowndes will make an ideal
candidate. He is heartily in SYM
pathy with the wishes of the people
for purer politics, fair elections
and a fair and equitable regulation
and assessment of property. Hei is,
however, opposed to any assess
ment on the lines of the Hayes bill,
as is every fair and honest minded
citizen of this State.
Mr.. Lowndes Will stand upon the
platform of his party and the
pledges the party makes will be
carried out by him.
His election will be victory over
bossism, ring rule and dirty poll
tics.
He will be the Governor Of the
whole people and not the tool of
any set or band of politicians. He
Will carry out the wishes Of the
people and their commands will be
his law.
Lloyd Lowndes, in view of the
action of the Democratic conven-
ton yesterday, will undoubtedly be

OF AlLEGANY COUNTY,

THE Wilson German Tariff,
which was to throw open to Ameri-
can producers "the markets of the
world is making It's record. For
the ten months ending IN April the
exports were valued at S676, $50, 337.
while for a corresponding period
under the Mckinley law they were
S724, 400, 072. This record was
made while the hard times at home
were so severe that Americans were
economizIng in every way, and the
producers were forced to seek every
outlet they could for their wares and
were willing to dispose of them at a
minimum of profit. Wages, too,
were nearer those of the pauper la
Dor of Europe than for many years
before, and yet the exports fell off.
The Democratic orators certainly
do well to leave the Tariff question
alone.
