Collecting Brains.

A second circular has been issued
by DIR. Wilder, Of Cornell University,
who is president of what is called
"The Cornell brain association. It
seeks to induce educated and eminent
persons to bequeath at death their
brains for scientific examination and
the benefit Of mankind.
A blank form of bequest, and cir
cular fully explaining the benefcent
objects of the association, have been
sent to hundreds of men and women
acknowledged leaders in the literary,
artistic and scientific world. The
association has up to date eight
brains, and has the promise of twenty
five more, which are at present IN use
by their owners. 1t is said that con.
tributions of brains will be made by
Mrs. McGee, daughter Of Simon New
comb, the astronomer, and Thomas K.
Beecher, Of Elmira, in addition to the
members of the association. New

Flesh u Males Rlchest.

The meat of young animals is more
tender, but not SO highly favored, as
that Of older ones.
In most cases the flesh Of males S
found TO be richer in favor than that
Of females. Therefore, if you are
buying a turkey, let it be gobbler,
or if it a chicken, let it be rooster.
There are two exceptions to this rule
however, according to Mr.. Woods.
The flesh Of the goose is more Hight,
favored than that Of the gander, an

OilsoaEed Wood That Was Flreproor

The wood used in the hold of YES
sci to keep barrels and hogsheads
from rolling out of position, known
as "dunnage, is generally good for
fuel, but there are exceptions. A
Portland man was offered a quantity
Of this stuff recently, but was advised
not to take it as it would not be worth
the trouble. 1t had been used as dun
mage for barrels OF kerosene, and the
barrels Of leaking oil had completely
saturated it, but this, strange as it
may appear, rendered the wood almost
unfit for use. 1t would burn so sui
-lenly or soggily that little heat would
be given forth. The reason, as ex-
planned by the Transcript, is that the
volatile, inhammable principle Of the
oil evaporates from the wood, and
leaves only clogging, incombustible
substance. Lewiston, Me-, Journal.

in support of this feature was
that ii would take the saloons
out of politics. The chief objec-
tons urged TO the bill were that
the enforcing board was likely to
become a political machine and
exert a tremendous political
power, and that the taxes would
go to the state instead of to the
towns and cities in which the
saloons exist. This last obiec-
ton was urged chiefly by the

Tore Roentgen Wonders.

When Thomas Edison does a
thing he does it upin good shape;
there is no half way work about
it. Now he has been fooling
with the Roentgen rays and, by
proper arrangements he can see
with the naked eye all the bones
of the hand, and also moving
objects through a block of wood
eight inches thick.
Mr.. Edison says that it is
simply question of further ex.
pertinent and more powerful
light when the human eye will be
able to see through solid metals
brick walls, sealed letters and
the human body. He thinks
there is no reason why physicians
may not look directly into GU,
hearts, lungs and stomachs.
Ever since the discovery of thu
X rays Mr.. Edison has been ex
perimenting night and day, hi:

The Raines law which has
Just received Gov. Morton's ap-
prevail, makes several radical
changes in the present manage
ment of the liquor traffic in New
York. So far as the present sup
ervision of it goes it is local and
it varies somewhat in different
places. But under the Raines
law all regulation of it within
the provisions of the law will be
under the control of a single state
board. Enforcement therefore is
likely to be more uniform and
more even. Another important
difference between the Raines
law and the present method of
regulation is that all license fea-
lures are wanting in the Raines
law. Under it anybody not con-
victed of crime can go into the
liquor business provided he pays
the tax which the law imposes.
The tax in the cities is very high
and in smaller places as high in
proportion. The expectation is
that the tax will prove SO oner-
GUS that comparatively few will
see profit enough in the business
to pay it and that the present

AT SEA AGAIN.
The Steamer Commodor Leaves With
 Cargo of War Material.


 Wilmington, N. C., Feb. H.-There was busy scene tonight on board the steam CT Commodore, the ship which has ere ated so much interest in Cuban and Spanish circles. She will carry only the complement of war for a crew and will be commanded by Capt. Samuel Hughes of the Hart Line steamer Laurada. Her machinery is working beautifully under the management of two of the finest ma rine engineers in the country. One of them is Jeff Smith of this city, who was chief engineer of the noted war vessel Nicheroy, which figured in the Brazilian war. The Commodore carries a large and valuable cargo of arms, ammunition and stores. Her clearance papers from this port indicate that she goes to Charleston, but there is a vague impression that she may go elsewhere.
 At 11:15 tonight the steamer cast loose from her moorings, backed out of the river and started on her journey. Owing to the late hour and the secrecy main tained in regard to her departure but small crowd had assembled to see her off. These cheered her enthusiast tically and she returned the compliment with three loud blasts from her whistle.
