There are many women who are unac-

BRAIN DIVORCED FROM MUSCLE
Palmer Children, Mt Anderson, Ind,
Deemed Freaks by Medical
Men.

Anderson. Ind. Feb. 22-The Palmer chill
dren. recently taken to the county in
firmary, are attracting great deal of at
tenti9n among Indiana medical men. The
children are 10 and IL years old respect
lively. and there seems to be virtually no
connection between the brain and the mus
cles.
They do not even have desire to cat.
When started to walking they will con-
tinue to walk until stopped, or if seated or
standing they will stay that way until
changed. They are considered freaks of
the first water in every respect, and are
strange enigmas for medical men. This is
one of the few known cases where animals
of high or low degree did not have desire
for food. They demand constant care.

Washing Air.

A novel and ingenious idea which
is proving itself of great practicability
is being tested in American buildings.
The purification of the air has re-
NAMED for long a problem difficult of
solution, and scientist has now con-
ceived the idea of actually washing it.
This is managed by pumping it into
large room which is filed with spray
from atomizers. Then the air is con-
Quoted through series of tubes, and
the moisture by this means removed.
1t is heated to sixty-five degrees and
pumped into the rooms in which it is
to be used, this operation being re-
peated at intervals of three minutes.

The Balloon VS.. the Ironclad.

The use of the balloon in warfare
will be one of the developments of the
near future. A frst-class modern
ironclad costs about $5, 900, 900. This
would construct and equip for war
purposes a great many balloons, and
it would seem as if they might be used
by the inhabitants of besieged city
with which to sail over an invading
feet and drop explosives upon the
warships underneath, with deadly ef-
feet. They might also be utilized to
drop these explosives over the cities
occupied by an opponent. Of course,
there would be considerable risk in
such an enterprise, unless the bal
looms could be properly steered, but
the dirigible balloon is one of the in
ventions that we may expect to see in
the near ure.-Leslies Weekly.

The African Lion and the Bunalo Bull.

The African Lion and the Buffalo Bull.
The large horns of these buffalo are
significant of their immense strength; 1;
their legs are very short and powerful.
Though the lions make prey of them,
it takes two or three to pull down
bull. The African lion of this section
is the largest species of its kind, but
unless in packs will not attack an
African buffalo bull When fighting,
the bulls are very quick on their feet,
and they use not only their horns,
but their front feet also, which often
prove the more dangerous weapon.
My guide, who has lived in this coun-
try for the past ten years, relates
many stories of men who have been
mauled by lions, and who have escaped
death, but he knows of no instance
where the African buffalo has left
human being until the life was trampled
out of him. .-Harper's Magazine.
