A MAGIC MIRROR.
Stand Behind the Looking Glass and
See II.

A transparent mirror was brought
from Germany to this country a few
months ago by New York firm, and
the perplexing properties of the glass
excited much curiosity. 1t was at once
in demand for many purposes and the
same firm is now engaged in importing
it in large quantities. 1t is still a nov
city, and some screens made of this
glass have been recently placed on
sale at one of the local stores. They
are probably the first to be viewed in
this city.
The coating is placed on one side OF
the glass just the same as the silvering
on the mirror, and has the same prop
critics of rejecting the rays Of light and
color.
The difference, however, is that when
looked at from the back the coating is
entirely transparent. To one sitting
within doors the view without is not
INSTRUCTED in the least, but pedestrian
peering into the window or doorway
would be greeted by his own rehec-
ton.
The glass is used largely in lieu OF
screens where privacy is desired with
out obstruction of light from the out
side or barring the vision Of those in
side. 1t was introduced with effect first
in a New York club window. Behind
it the chappies could ST, and ogle the
girls and view the passing throng with
out being themselves observed. It's use
is also resorted to in cafes and semi
public places, where it offered privacy
to those lounging inside, while the lat
ter had an undisturbed view Of the
street.

WE'RE SHORT SLEEPERS.
Famous Men Who Spent But Little
Time in Repose.

DR.. Gooch mentions man who lived
to the age of seventy-three, in excellent
health, although he could never sleep
for more than fifteen minutes in each
twenty-four hours. This case, however
is not well supported by evidence. Cen
eral Pichegon said that for a whole
year, during important campaigns, he
had restricted himself to one hour S
sleep in twenty-four. Jeremy Taylor
maintained that three hours a night
was enough. The celebrated General
Elliott. who defended Gibraltar, never
slept more than four hours. Lord
Brougham was generally content with
less. Frederick the Great and John
Hunter were satisfied with five. The
Duke Of Wellington and John Wesley
took six. The explanation of their va
riations seems to lie in the fact that
the amount of slep cannot be measured
by duration, and those who do not sleep
very long enjoy a much deeper sleep
than others.

SUBSTITUTE FOR LIGHTNING
RODS.

It has been observed that poplar trees
are particularly subject to be struck by
lightning. Recent experiments show
that woods containing fats are poor
conductors of electricity, while those
containing starch are better conduct
ors. To the latter class belong poplars,
oaks and willows; consequently they
form natural lightning rods. Some au-
thorities are of the opinion that poplars
planted near buildings would afford
protection from MISUNDERSTANDING.

RUSSIAN DEVELOPMENT.
The Keystone Nation Ia European
Political Affairs

The Keystone Nation Ia European
Political Affairs.
John "A. bowman, writing in
the Bohemian, says that above all,
in her own progress, Russia is be-
wildepea and perplexed by exotic
influences, and under no circum-
stances can her development be
normal, centripetal and centrifu-
gal. Frederick the Great ard Ma
poleon, both judges of military
potentalities and craftsmanship,
regarded Russia as threat to
civilized Europe. "These barba-
rians are digging the grave of
humanity" Frederick said; snd
Napoleon declared that soon or
late the Latin and Germanic Ea-
tions must meet the Slav in a
death struggle Moved by cap
rice, interest or ambition, the pres
ent Gear of 81 could hurl, in a
moment, the concentrated forces
that despotism gives-2,OOO,OOO
men-on Europe. Napolean never
had more than l, 100000 men un-
der arms at once, and fully one
third of these were needed for
frontier and garrison duty.
Trusting to deserts, steppes,
frosts and her peculiar population,
Russia could reduce her defensive
