INTERESTING TESTS.
How the Rays Affect the Outer Shell
of the Brain.

OA LAG nEAAAs
Dr.. j. B. Cooke, of Boston, accom-
plishes an enormous amount of clinical
ns well as scientific work. When three
weeks old his sight was completely de-
stroyed, and he has never had con-
eeption of light or the looks of thing.
His other senses are very acute He
can touch a fabric and tell the stripes
or figures upon it, and their color; by
the slightest sound he correctly esti-
mates the size of a room; by the touch
of the hand at once recognizes persons;
by slight feeling, the material. color,
shape and use of objects. As he has
never seen any of these, one wonders in
what shape they present themselves to
his sightless mind. He has written
several successful novels, and is at pres
ent composing comic opera, full of
brightest airs. He earned his way
through college by testing tobacco for
the Lorillards, by touch, for many
years. The x rays have opened new
door to him, and he enters it with ex-
cited interest. In the private labora-
tory of the Boston university school of
medicine experiments were conducted
in which the tube used was specially
constructed instrument which gives the
most intense Roentgen ray of any tube
heretofore made. 1t was attached to
coil which produced an electric current
of nearly 100000 volts. Seated in front
of the tube, glowing with yellowish
green light, at a distance of four feet,
DR.. Cooke held his head down, SO that the
rays struck on its top. His first sensa-
ton was indescribable, and disappeared
the moment the light was cut off, and
instantly felt when the tube was in.
glow again. He accurately described
outlines Of objects held half way be-
tween his head and the light. The sud-
den whirling of an object or quick sub
stitution of one for another caused an
attack of vertigo. He said he saw moth
ing, but that objects gave him an inn
preston of weight and extension.
Whether they would do so in brains less
acutely sensitive and magnifcently de-
veloped is questionable; but it is new
step in the path of the wonderful light.
1t seems as if the cortex or outer shell of
the brain were rendered fluorescent,
like the sensitive plate, and the shadow
of these objects was communicated to
it, and then transmitted to the visual
areas at the posterior part.-Chicago In

The demand for lace is increasing

and LACE rufles to long sleeves, and the
bodice brought out at this time always
shadow forth spring fashions.
Sleeves are being slowly and surely
curtailed in width, but the ornamental
tion about the tops of the armhole is
maintained, and this is partly com
posed of lace.
The revival of the skirt open in front
so as to show tablier of another ma
terial is also style which entails a,
considerable expenditure of lace. either
in the form of piece lace or of flounc-
ings.
Since evening dresses of the latest
pattern in tulle or mousseline de sole
are in many cases finished with deep
flounces of lace, it follows, almost as
matter of course, that many summer
costumes will be trimmed in like man
ner. Piece lace must also be reck-
oned as dress material applicable to
evening and summer wear.
Lace also carries the day as an orna-
mentation on underwear-in the shape
Of ruffles for drawers, gathered berthas
for chemises and deep collars for night
dresses. Lace will also be included
among millinery material. A Nine.

off considerably. but full amends are
going to be made for an unproductive

strenuous efforts made by the man

Back Country Folk Who Travel Many
Miles to Divine Worship.
Jessie Alderman, in her articles on
'sThree Women In Iceland - in The
Woman's Home Companion. tells how
she attended a country church in the
northern part of the island.
The Sabbath day was full Of inter
est, for we had not attended service in
the rural districts. In the early morning
we betook ourselves to the front Of the
house to watch the country folk assem-
ble In the distance we saw them ford
Ing the river in long line, and in an
other direction men, women and chill
dren rode slowly over the mountains
down to the farm. What the Sabbath
day means to these people few can re-
alize. Some Of them never see face be-
sides those of the members of the family
from one church day until the other.
What wonder, then, that they began to
assemble fully two hours before church
time? A peculiar form of salutation pre-
walls outside of the cities. With this we
had not yet been made familiar, and
onr astonishment can well be imagined
when we saw the men dismount, en-
brace and kiss each other. l learned
later that this is the usual form of salr-
tation among men in the inland dis
tricts.
The hour Of service arrived, and, in
company with the preacher, who wore
high silk hat, loose, flowing gown
buttoned from chin to hem and great
white Elizabeth ruff around his neck,
we entered the church. From the back
seat we had full view Of the congrega-
tion, and. not being familiar with the
language, the time was passed in medi-
tation on the situation.
In the pulpit the pastor was assisted
into long white robe, which fell over
the black one, and down his back hung
large surplice Of bright velvet, upon
which a golden cross was wrought. On
the altar two great candles about yard
long and three inches thick shed dim
light. These were the especial charge Of
an official who gave out the hymns and
between times snuffed the candles with
an old time pair of snuffers. After
church the worshipers dispersed, and
many of them did not reach their homes
until night.

SOME ETHlNG ABOUT BEETLES
Their Strange Habits, Instincts and Means
Of Getting Food.

Their Strange Habits, Instincts and Means
of Getting Food.
You are all familiar with the common
black beetle known as the tumblebug,
and perhaps may have seen it rolling a
ball with its hind legs, pushing it back
ward. The ball contains the egg Of the
beetle, and the creature is taking it to
place of safety.
A green beetle spotted with white is
called the tiger beetle. He is clever
fellow and very cunning in his manner
of securing his prey. He will dig hole
a foot in depth and then crawl to the
top and form himself into a bridge
across the chasm, burying his head in
such manner as to appear like some
thing inanimate, but he will be on the
alert for the unwary creature that
makes an attempt to cross on his back
In an instant the bridge will give way
and the prey will be precipitated into
| the hole. The beetle will follow and
quickly dispatch the game, when he
will return, reform the bridge and al
| lure another victim.
Old fashioned furniture is often com
pletely ruined by the larvae of a beetle
called the anobuim A peculiar sound
like the ticking of a clock is made by
these beetles when they call to each
other, the noise being made by striking
the jaws against their resting place, and
often in old houses filled with old fur
niture the superstitious, when they hear
this peculiar sound, imagine the place
to be haunted.
Another beetle is found in dark cell
lars, where it thrives upon dust and
trash. It is so difficult to exterminate it
that it is looked upon as something un-
canny, and the ignorant regard its pres
ence as an i'll omen.
The sacred beetle Of Egypt is not un-
like our own common beetle, and the
female lays her egg in the same way,
wrapped in a substance which is to pro-
tect it and furnish food. She rolls it up
into ball with her fore legs, sometimes
carrying it a long distance upon her
head; digs hole in the earth, deposits
her egg laden ball, covers it up, and
leaves it to attain its perfect develop
ment.
The sexton beetle is curious crea-
ture He has a thick body and powerful
limbs and most acute sense of smell.
No sooner does small animal die than
the sexsons gather about the body and
begin to put earth upon it. In few
hours the dead animal has been covered
and the beetles have laid their eggs in
the carcass. which is to nourish the
Larvae.
A remarkable creature is the bonn,
bardier beetle, and it is provided with
strange means of defense 1t lives in
community under stones, and when
disturbed discharges a fluid Of very
penetrating odor, much like gas, which
explodes as it comes in contact with the
air and passes into vapor Eighteen ex-
plosions can be made in succession by
one bombardier, and while these are
being thrown off like volley of artil-
lery the beetle effects its escape. The
fluid is like nitric acid to the taste 1t
causes sharp pain if placed upon the
tongue and leaves a yellowish stain. -

CHEAP ELECTRICITY.
WindmiIls Are Now Being Success
fully Used as Generators.

WindmiIls Are Now BEING Success
fully Used as Generators.
Comparatively little use has been
made of windmills for the generation of
electric current, but that such plan is
quite feasible under many conditions
hitherto thought to be unfavorable is
seen in a plant recently installed in
Massachusetts. In this case a large
house, stables and grounds are lighted
by electricity, and the windmill pro-
vides all the power. In previous exper-
iments in utilizing wind power for cleo
trio lighting trouble has arisen from
the variability of the wind and the re-
sulting fluctuations of the electric
pressures. To overcome this difficulty
the sawmill shaft is now connected
with a speed equalizer, which stores
energy mechanically, and so counter
balances the temporary subsding of the
wind. The wind power, after having
been converted into electric energy, is
conducted to system of storage bat
teries which constitute the current sup
ply of the plant One of the best points
of the installation is that it is almost en-
tirely automatic. There is no personal
supervision necessary, and the plant
needs locking to (for oiling principally
but once or twice in a fortnight. An
ether feature of the plant is that it can
be duplicated for from 5000 to $500, and
as it can be run for dozen years, with
practically no expense beyond the cost
of lubricanAk~and an occasional clean
ing, it brings a private electric supply
within the reach of a large number of
people. 1t is found that the actual
wind energy available for the equip
ment is far in excess of the require
ments of ordinary residences, the stor-
ing capacity being ample to bridge over
any possible period of calm. The OBJ
jections to former systems of wind.
mills have been carefully avoided, and
the plant has been SO well adjusted that
it is possible to use a much lower rate
of wind than has ever been attempted

The improvement has been patented in
the United States and several foreign
countries by Conrad Odinet, of New
York city. It is designed that. with
this construction, a material increase
of speed may be obtained without em-
ploying much more power than at pres
ent, and that the vessel will be able to
turn as upon a pivot, the propellers
acting substantially as rudder. The
propellers, placed so low down. will be

protected from shot or shell in case of
hostile attack. Hinged to fold close to
the keel, at the forwad ends of the
channels, are gates by which the chan

forward movement of the vessel, the
gates being moved by conveniently ar
ranged levers within the vessel. In adj

A. C. Heflinger tells in the American

member. The hound was called Clay,
and was owned by N. 0. Pope, who kept
it in the White Oak Hill kennel at Po-
land, Me. The dog was prize taker,
and always got a place when it ran in
the annual trials of the Brunswick Fur
club. After the annual hunt at Bruins
wick, Me-, in which Clay proved bet
ter than all the younger hounds, the
dog was taken back to Poland and
put in the yard with the rest of the
pack. McGregor, keeper of the hounds.
heard row in the yard, and coming
down, found that the pack had pitched
upon the champion hound and killed
it by chewing its throat and chest.
Wolves have been known to kill their
fellows IN similar manner. A wolf
showing signs of pain is set upon and
killed by its comrades. A male fox,
when 1T finds female fox in trap,
attacks and kills it. A COW believing
with pain is set upon by the herd and
gored to death. Whether the attacks
are to aid the one in pain or not is not
known by students of natural history.
