Before Police Judge Nelson yesterday
man named z, Smith, charged with
having thrown a beer keg through u
window Of the Merchanics' Saloon. on
the Bowery, was on trial. The pro-
prietor. Andrew Rauma, testified that
he ran to the front OF the house when
the keg came through the window, and
that he saw Smith running away, and
that was the sum total OF the evidence
against the man. During the excite
ment which followed the throwing OF
the keg through the window and the
proprietor's chase after the supposed
guilty party. some one stole nickel
in-the-slot machine from the saloon.
Smith had an elegant black eye. and
looked like a man who had fallen out
OF a balloon. all OF which he accredits
Rauma with having done. The case
against him was dismissed, owing to
lack Of evidence.

The question Of placing lightship
within the harbor somewhere near Sand
Island or Desdemona sands, as might
be found most expedient, is being dis
cussed in shipping circles. That the
movement is one in the right direction
is admitted by all. All foreign harbors
situated as is the Columbia have these
projections to navigation. A lightship
off the harbor is not enough, but the
mariner should be given two lights
that he may take bearings when enter
ing a harbor after dark.

x.Ray Cure of Germ Diseases.

DR.. William Shrader, Of the Mis-
souri, State University, is convinced, as
o result of numerous experiments with
the Roentgen rays, that the rays are
invaluable in the treatment of germ
diseases. Among the most successful
experiments conducted by him were
had upon two guinea pigs, which wero
inocuiated with solid cultu.
liphtheria prepared in the bacteriolo-
gical laboratory OF the university.
These pigs weighed 21O and 1856 grams
respectively. One was exposed to the
rays for four hours in wooden box,
having a rubber cover, and is alive to-
day after a lapse of nearly two months,
and no traces of the disease can be
found. The other pig, not exposed to
the rays, died within twenty-eight
hours after the injection of the poison.
The post.mortem examination showed
that his death was due to the dipth.
liberia germs. Previous to these tests
other experiments were made with the
diphtheria bacilli. Tubes were inocu'
lated with the germs, one exposed to
the rays and the other not exposed.
In the FORMER the germs were de-
stroyedp while in the latter they lived.

Harold Frederic, the Lcndon cor.
happy and wise

Harold Frederic, the London cor
respondent of the New York Times
writes: Both in England and on the
continent We are likely to hear o good
deal that is unpleasant this winter
about the cost of bread. The recent
advance in the price OF wheat has
sheen seized upon by bakers every
whero as warrant for an advance
amounting to cent on the four.pound
loaf. and they let it be understood
that further rise is not improbable
if wheat continues to go up. Unfor-
tunately, it cannot be remembered
that, when wheat began to drop five
years ago, the bakers put down the
price of their loaves in proportion, and
there is naturally lot OF bitter talk
about the rapacity OF midHemen.
This will not grow less as winter comes
on. Every European country, in
Guiding England, has administrative
machinery for regulating the size of
loaves. To this provision about the
price OF them could be fixed without
much difficulty, and it is not improb-
able that movement to have this
done will obtain good deal Of mo.
mentun before spring comes.

A well.known oculist has discovered
that when it is necessary to direct the
eyes considerably above the horizontal
line a number of times a great strain
is thrown upon the muscles which ro-
tate the eye upward, as we'll as upon
tho muscles of the upper eyel1ds,
which have, of course, to be cores
pondingly raised to accommodate the
eye ball.
"This being so," says the oculist.
SIT is time that those who are
responsible for the distribution Of the
pictures In galleries should recognize
the fact that the human eye is not
constructed for looking upward for
any length of time, and if considera-
tions of space oblige the whole OF the
available wall area to be utilized the
higher pictures should be tilted at a
suitable angle in order to minimize
the strain on the eye muscles. New

the cultivation of hickory nuts. Nur.
serymen -s:> planting and grating
the young trees, which they sell to
growers. No orchards are as yet in
bearing, but there are wild groves of
fine varieties in Ohio, which are regu-
larly harvested. The most desirable
stock for planting is obtained from
the Wabash Valley, in Indiana, where
wild "shagbarks" grow remarkably
big and fine, attaining diameter OF
two inches or more. There are shag-
barks in Iowa also of large size and
with such thin shells that they can be
cracked easily by grasping two togeth..
er in the hand.
In Ohio has been discovered new
kind of black walnut which probably
is destined to be highly priced in the
future. By freak of nature one-half
of its shell is not developed, nor the
kernel on thai side, the result being
pear-shaped nut filled with single
meat somewhat the shape of peanut,
though bigger.
The important objection to ordinary
black walnuts is that they are divided
in the middle by wall of she'll SO
constructed thatit isalmost impossible
to get the kernel out whole. This new
variety has only to be cracked in order
to yield the meat entire. The black
walnut has been said to be among the
nuts what bacon is among meats
strong and greasy. However, some
choice wild varieties have been found
with white kernels of delicate flavor,
and much may be accomplished by
cultivating them.
The hazel mt will be introduced
largely before long as commercial
product. There are now millions Of
acres in this country of wild hazel
brush, which is shrub about as high

cies of hazel nut has been discovered
in the State of Washington. Itgrows
on o tree sixty feet long, which, be.
cause the stem is too slender to hold
itself upright, runs along the ground
like vine. In every pod it bears
two nuts in place of the usual one.

GIowworm Radiations.

A discovery made by NJ. Henry. and
communicated by him to the Academic
des Sciences, states that he lately had
occasion one evening to place some
glowworms for from half an hour to
two hours upon properly protect
ed" Photographic plate. and on devel-
oping the plate black and white lines
were found which corresponded toler-
ably accurately to the itinerary of the
subventral light of the worms. That
tho glow light produced by these in
sects should be capable of penetrating
substances opaque to light, in the
manner of the y rays, suggests that
the new rays may in some manner be
utilized to produce the glow light

somersaults for Fatness,

Except the common cold, against
which thousands ,ofyears of scientific
inquiry have been ineffective, there is
scarcely disease which has not its
patent cure. Many inventions come
from Sweden, where massage estab-
lishments are more common than pub
lio houses, and where there is hardly
an i'll, from headache to heartburn,
which cannot be cured for you by the
ninistrations of ingeniously colltrived
punching machines. But the strang-
est of Sweden's inventions for the bet
tering of the health of humanity has
only just been brought into publicity.
It is cure for corpulence, and its
main principles are that the sufferers
should turn somersaults. There are
some who might object that any lady
or gentleman capable of turning q
somersault cannot, strictly speaking,
be regarded as corpulent, and most
people, unless very corpulent indeed,
would certainly prefer their present
state to this eventful and inconvenient
method OF changing it. Even the most
particular OF us would surely prefer
that our elderly relations, especially if
feminine, should prefer their present
appearance rather than descend to such
an alarming sacrifice of dignity. -
