NEW WAY TO TEST COAL.
rom the Philadelphia Stockholder

From the Philadelphia Stakeholder.
Professor f,lihu Thomson. of the Cen
eral Electric company, has discovered Il
new use for the N-rays. having employed
them to test the amount of ash In coal.
He was led to experiments i'm this direc-
tion by finding that the rays pass easily
through hydrO-carbon, while earthly sub
stances are more or less Opaque Profess
sJr Thomson found that coal. even an
thracite. when of good quality. and with
little ash, is easily penetrated by the rays.
Slaty layers in coal are more absorbent to
the rays, and II two pieces Of coal of equal
thickness are tested, the one having the
more ASH will be the more OPAQUE. and
will give darker image. Professor
Thomson has suggested another way of
testing the contents of a bin of coal. and
that Is by taking Il few samples here and
there. reducing them to sranules by crush
ing and sitting to obtain equal-si2c grains
These are then enclosed in cardboard
boxes of equal depth. After this the
boxes containing equal depths of various
samples for comparison are subjected TO
the rays. and the samples showing the
greatest transparency are more free from
ash or earthly matters.

Kissing In the Streets.

Helmagen, a Roumanian country town
of 1900 inhabitants, holds it's annual fair
on the feast of ST. Theodore.
On this occasion the place swarms with
newly married brides from some so to 80
villages in the district, though widows
who have taken fresh husbands remain at
home.
The young women, in festive attire and
generally attended by their mothers-in-
law, carry jugs OF wine inwreathed with
flowers in their hands.
They kiss almost every man they meet,
and afterward present the jug to his lips.
The individual thus RECALLED bestows a
small gift on the fair bride.
Not to partake of the profered wine is
regarded as an insult to the young wife
and her family. She is therefore reserved
toward strangers, and only kisses those
whom she thinks likely to taste her wine
The origin Of this custom is not known.
Some say that it dates back to the time
when the Turks made frequent raids into
Pennsylvania and carried away all the
young women on whom they could lay
hands.
Such of them as contrived to escape from
captivity, happening to return to Helmagen
at the time of the fair, kissed their friends
and relatives and even strangers who con-
graduated them on their wonderful deliv-
erance.
