Why X Rays Burn the Skin.

Mr.. Tesla points out what he consid-
ers to be the cause of the singular sun
burn effects produced by X rays i'm
pinging upon the hands. It is not the
rays themselves which cause the in
jury, he says, but the ozone generated
by them in contact with the skin.
Nitrous acid, produced electrically
from the nitrogen in the air, may also
be responsible to small extent. The
best means of protecting the hands is to
prevent the access of air to them while
the exposure is going on. This may be
accomplished by immersion in OIL

A Danger to Eyesight.

For some time past London oculists
have been directing the attention of the
community to the very serious danger
caused by the electric light, the princi-
pal point being made against the uni
versal exposure of such lights, uncov-
cred, in the streets and in shops and Of
fees. One of the journals devoted to
that industry explodes such fears by re-
marking that it is not customary to
look at the sun, nor would even the most
enthusiastic electrician suggest that
naked arcs and incandescent filaments
are objects to gaze at without limit;
naked lights, however, are not usually
placed so as to come within the line of
sight, and, while the filament of glow
lamp is, ON the other hand, more likely
to meet the eye, a frosted bulb is an ex-
tremely simple and common way of en-
tjrely getting over the objection in
point. But while the whole trouble can
thus be easily remedied by the use of
properly frosted or colored glass globes,
the actual permanent injury to the eye
by the glowing filament is, in any case,
no greater than that due to an ordinary
gas f1ame.-N. Y. Tribune.

Quaint English Customs,

There is scarcely manor in England
where some queer old custom dating
back to the feudal times does not sur
vive, recalling the former prestige and
glery of the lords of the manor"
Thus at Broughton, on each Palm Sun
day since time immemorial, the So
called "gad whip" manorial service
takes place. The lord of the manor,
leaving his pew in the chancel, advances
to the steps thereof and cracks a heavy
carriage whip three times, while the
rector is reading the first lesson. At
the beginning of the second lesson he
approaches the parson with the whip in
his hand and purse with gold pieces
tied to the end Of the lash. This he
waves thrice in the air and then holds
the whip so that the purse hangs di-
rectly over the priests head, until the
conclusion of the chapter, when the
priest takes possession Of the purse and
reverently places it on the altar. Vol
umes might be written about these
queer manorial customs, the origin OF
most of them being lost in antiquity

Bis marck's Love for Children.

1t is impossible ever to have been

out seeing proofs that the iron chan
cellor is not all of iron. / have seen
him with his own children-now all men
and wonderland with other children.
His affection for his own needs no testi-
mony; he has always shown it. His
affection and pride in his eldest SON and
successor, Count Herbert, are alike
part of his nature. have seen Prince
Bismarck also with troops of children
who came to Friedrichsruh to visit him.
His manner to them was charming, his
outstretched hand upon the heads of
those nearest to him, the kindly caress,
the sympathetic greeting-these are all
so many traits of personal character
and of true gentleness of nature which
the outside world, thinking only of his
life of storm and stress, might not ex-
pect to find. But there they are

INSECTS IN WINTER.
Freezing Does Not Exterminate the
Smaller Creatures.

The winter forms of insects can with
stand long and severe cold weather-in
fact, may be frozen solid for weeks and
retain life and vigor, which is shown
when warm weather and food appear
again. Indeed, it is not an unusually
cold winter, but one of successive thaw.
ings and freezings, which is most de-
structive to insect life. A mild winter
encourages the growth of mold which
attacks the alternating larvae and
pupae as soon as, from excess of rain
or humidity, they become sickly; and
it also permits the continued activity
of insectivorous mammals and birds.
Thus, moles, shrews and field mice, in.
stead of burying themselves deeply in
the ground, run about freely during an
open winter, and destroy enormous
numbers of pupae; while such birds as
the woodpeckers, titmice and chicka-
dees are constantly on the alert, and
searching in every crevice and Granny
of fence and bark of tree for the hiber-
mating larvae.
Of the creeping, wingless creatures
which can ever be found beneath rocks,
rails, chunks, and especially beneath
those old decaying logs which are half
buried in the rich vegetable mold, the
myriapods, or "thousand-legs," deserve
more than passing notice. They are
typical examples of that great branch
of the animal kingdom known as ar
thropods, which comprises all insects
and crustaceans. Each arthropod has
the body composed Of rings placed end
to end and bearing jointed appendages,
and in the myriapods each ring and it's
appendages can be plainly seen, where
as in the higher forms of the branch
many of the rings are so combined as
to be very difficult to make out.-W. S.
